RFQ D/B - Public Works Administration Building Project

The owner has determined a prequalified list of design build companies. SOQ Deadline to Submit Questions July 20, 2022, on or before 12:00pm The purpose of this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) by the City of Harrisonburg, Virginia (City) is to solicit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from interested vendors (Offeror) to serve as the Design-Builder for the Harrisonburg Public Works Administration Building Project. The purpose of this RFQ is to solicit information that will enable the City to determine which Offerors: (a) are best qualified to successfully execute the design and construction of the Project; and (b) will be invited to submit proposals in response to the City's Request for Proposals (RFP). Offeror's SOQs must meet all requirements established by this RFQ. Requirements of this RFQ generally will use the words "shall", "will", or "must" (or equivalent terms) to identify a required item that must be submitted with an Offeror's SOQ. Failure to meet an RFQ requirement may render an Offeror's SOQ non-responsive while the extent to which an Offeror meets or exceeds evaluation criteria will be rated by the Evaluation Committee and be reflective of the Evaluation Committee's scoring of Offeror's SOQs. Offerors shall take note that the RFQ is being provided for information purposes only. All documents included therein are subject to change; therefore, these documents shall not be relied upon for the purposes of developing a Proposal. All questions must be received no later than July 20, 2022 on or before 12:00pm (noon) local time. The City wishes to construct a New Public Works Administration Building (Building) to be located at the current office location of 320 E. Mosby Road, Harrisonburg, VA 22801. The Building shall be constructed of durable long-lasting materials, and the City has no preference on the type of construction material; with the main requirements being durability, sustainability, and cost effectiveness. The Building shall include waiting areas, general office spaces (both traditional offices and cubicle workspaces), large and small conference rooms, storage and office space for Harrisonburg Fire Department operational materials, and a Harrisonburg Police Department substation that will include offices and break area. The Building shall include solar panels installed on the roof of the structure, and the panels shall be sized to maximize the amount of renewable energy produced to offset traditional electric consumption. The proposed location of the Building is located within the 100-year flood plain; however, Public Works believes that the Building can be placed one (1) foot above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) in the proposed location. Following construction of the Building, the existing Public Works Administration building will be demolished and a new parking lot will be constructed in its place. During the construction of the Building, Public Works will remain in full operation and the contractor will be required to coordinate all construction activities with Public Works leadership.
