1-2025 Moore Township Feasibilty Study PRINT.pdf

This is a feasibility study document for Moore Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, related to a Request for Proposals for Township Building/Police Station Renovations and Addition. The study examines conceptual designs and project planning for modifications to the existing Township Building/Police Station campus. The project encompasses a multi-step process beginning with feasibility assessment and conceptual designs, progressing through design and engineering phases, land use plan approvals, and culminating in bidding and construction management. The scope addresses programmatic needs while maintaining budget constraints, operational requirements, and traditional aesthetics. The successful professional services firm will serve as the Township's primary point of contact throughout all project phases and may coordinate with specialized sub-contractors in areas such as civil engineering or construction management, with joint proposals permitted provided all participants, roles, and associated costs are disclosed.

The project will be funded through a combination of Capital Reserve Funds, financing mechanisms, and grant awards, with Moore Township actively seeking grant support to assist in project funding. The successful firm must demonstrate knowledge of and experience with various grant program funding mechanisms, finance-funded project management, Second Class Township Code bidding and construction requirements, and activity reporting procedures necessary for successful cost reimbursement. The firm will be required to work closely with the Township's grant management processes and comply with applicable State and Local procurement regulations. The feasibility study provides the foundational analysis to support the Township's planning and design objectives for this comprehensive campus improvement initiative.
