DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Farmington City intends to construct an approximate 21,800 square foot, two story fire station with four pull through apparatus bays, eight dorms, administrative spaces, living facilities, large meeting / training room, and offices for remote police office use. In addition to all standard firefighter support areas, the facility includes an elevator, a primary and secondary stair to provide access to a prefunction area in support of the meeting / training space. Exterior spaces include a second-floor terrace adjacent to the meeting room and a private courtyard for day-to-day fire fighter use.
The site is approximately 2 acres and includes all planting, irrigation, utilities, cur & gutter, and hardscape improvements. To prepare for the construction improvements, surcharge soil, in excess for 48” has been distributed across the site for ta duration of approximately one year. This soil will need to be removed in coordination with the City.
Blalock & Partners is the architectural firm for the project and will assist the City in selecting the CM/GC. The CM/GC shall participate in the preconstruction and construction phase of the project.
CONSTRUCTION BUDGET
Farmington City’s construction budget is anticipated to be in the range of $12,500,000- $13,200,000. In addition, the City has established a Construction Contingency value of $450,000, which will be maintained throughout the duration of the project, from Design through Construction. The amount of the contingency may be reduced after construction milestones are achieved, and the City may elect to incorporate additional elements into the Project using any Contingency money. These project additions would be incorporated via formal Change Order, in which case the CM/GC shall provide construction costs and schedule impacts, if any, associated with the proposed change. This Owner controlled Contingency is in the amount listed above and would be identified as a separate line-item in the GMP. Contingency value is a fund allocation intended to cover, but is not limited to, the following:
a) Owner directed design or scope changes;
b) Design revisions, changes or clarifications not represented in the Bid Documents used as the basis of the GMP (i.e. changes in the Documents requested by the Owner, CM/GC or Architect);
c) Design errors or omissions;
d) Unforeseen conditions;
e) Winter Conditions expenses;
f) Possible material cost escalations, if any;
NOTE: To the extent possible, “scope gap” should not be a valid use of Contingency, but this would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
CM/GC SCOPE OF WORK
There are two phases of work: The pre-construction phase and the construction phase.
Phase 1—Pre-construction Phase: This phase of the Work includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the completed design, estimating and cost control, schedule development, and drawing and constructability reviews. The selected CM/GC shall coordinate with the project architect and the City project team in the design, cost management, construction oversight, and completion of the project. The Project’s development is currently at approximately 99% completion of Construction Documents, awaiting building permit review and approval, and the final preparation of formal Bid Documents.

The CM/GC will not be allowed to mark-up any such issue-related change order during the construction phase of the project as a result of the aforementioned items.
C. Coordination with the City-appointed Project Management Team in all phases of the project, according to the approved Project Approach and Project Schedule submitted by the CM/GC.
D. Review existing conditions drawings provided by the City, and conduct one or more site visits – from which the CM/GC will generate and present an existing conditions site observation report that makes a note of variations from the drawings/documents of the existing conditions, and any unique conditions that may have construction cost implications.
E. Coordination of all permitting, regulating agency approvals, and other similar requirements.
F. Continued coordination with the Architect and Project team throughout the bidding process, as well as an “open-book” review of bids received and coordination of the development of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). This coordination will include regular updates to the City regarding project progress.

As part of the selection process, proposers shall demonstrate how they provide their Bid Summary, with backup information, to Owners.
11. FLCC and GMP
A. Fixed Limit of Construction Cost (FLCC). Farmington City anticipates the construction cost to be in the range of $12,500,000 - $13,200,000; and the city has also allocated a Construction Contingency value of $450,000. Therefore, the total cost of construction (FLCC) allocated by the city is: $13,650,000. With this project delivery process, the intent is that the CM/GC can assist the city and Design Team in realizing construction efficiencies and quality assurance levels that achieve the project’s goals within, or less than, the FLCC. Ultimately, the City, the design team and the CM/GC Contractor agree to work together to keep the cost of construction as represented in the design within the FLCC.
B. Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The Guaranteed Maximum Price is the final price that the Contractor agrees to accept in full and is based on the final contract drawings and specifications. The GMP shall include all fees and percentages required by this RFP, as well as the costs for general conditions and all work as required in the Contract Documents.
The Work is anticipated to be completed in a single phase and within a single contractual agreement with a Guaranteed Maximum Price. The final GMP is normally determined at the completion of the Contract Documents and receipt of subcontractors’ bids. However, a GMP may be negotiated at an earlier point as may be needed by the City, and if agreed upon by the CM/GC. Upon acceptance of the CM/GC’s Guaranteed Maximum Price, Farmington City would enter into a Construction Agreement and proceed into Phase Two, the Construction Phase.
C. Subcontractor Selection.
Work for the completion of this project will be competitively bid; this also includes any work proposed to be completed by the CM/GC's own forces. The CM/GC will make a recommendation as to the subcontractor offering the best value for each trade / discipline.
The CM/GC, Owner and Architect, together, will evaluate ALL of the subcontractors for qualifications and completeness of bid. As a part of this collective evaluation, the Owner will approve each subcontractor, which authorizes the CM/GC to execute an Agreement with each Subcontractor for their respective portion of the Work.
D. Self-Performed Work.
The CM/GC will be allowed to self-perform work. This work must be billed at actual cost incurred plus the Self-Performed Work Markup. Actual costs for self-performed work will be subject to audit. No billing rates will be allowed. The Contractor must specifically state in the Management Plan proposal what self-performed work that they intend to execute. The Contractor must competitively bid its self-performed work, and provide this bid value in writing to the Owner 24 hours in advance of the subcontractor Bid Due Date.
Further, the Contractor must demonstrate that other qualified bids have been received for the same scope of work, or provide verifiable information as to the lack of bids received.
The Contractor’s bid will then be evaluated by the City and must be determined to be the best value bid for the work to be awarded to the Contractor. The cost of any work that is self-performed will be part of the established GMP.
12. Cost Proposal, Fees, and Markups
Before submitting a Cost Proposal, each Contractor shall carefully examine the RFP, shall visit the site of the Work, shall fully inform themselves as to all existing conditions and limitations, and shall include in the proposal the cost of all items required by the RFP.

ATTACHMENT A: COST PROPOSAL FORM
NAME OF PROPOSING COMPANY________________________________________
The undersigned, responsive to the "Notice to General Contractors/Construction Managers" and in accordance with the "Request for Proposals” for the Farmington Fire Station, propose the Fees as outlined below:
I/We acknowledge receipt of the following Addenda: __________________________________
The Cost Proposal Form will be opened after the Selection Committee has evaluated and scored all of the Qualifications submissions, resulting in a “working shortlist” of the most qualified Proposers. The Selection Committee anticipates a working shortlist of THREE to SIX companies based upon the strengths of their Statement of Qualifications. Only the Fee Schedules of these companies will be further evaluated and potentially resulting in an adjustment to the ranking of the shortlisted companies. From the overall Qualifications + Cost Proposal scoring, the Selection Committee will create the shortlist, inviting those teams to participate in interviews.
A summary of the project budget is as follows:
Owner’s Allocated Construction Budget $12,500,000 - $13,200,000
Construction Contingency $ 450,000
Refer to the Construction Budget section for an understanding of how the Construction Contingency may be used during construction.
TOTAL ALLOCATED FLCC VALUE: $13,650,000
DESIGN PHASE / PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FEE:
Farmington City has established a value of $26,000.00 to cover the CMGC’s Design Phase / Pre- Construction Services as outlined elsewhere in the RFQ.
For the Design Phase / Pre-Construction Phase, I / We agree to perform these professional Services for the lump sum of:
Provide written and numerical value. If a cost value is proposed that is different than the Owner-established allowance, provide (on a separate page) a written statement explaining the amount.
1. CONSTRUCTION MANAGER / GENERAL CONTRACTOR’S GENERAL CONDITIONS:
To provide clarity, the Owner considers a General Contractor’s “General Conditions” to be inclusive of the direct and indirect costs (sometimes referred to as General Conditions and General Requirements) associated with the appropriate service, management and performance of delivering the Construction Phase of the Contract.
Typically, these General Conditions will include costs & expenses for a wide range of construction support items including, but not limited to: temporary facilities; project management software; phone / communication costs; construction supervision; mobilization / demobilization; accounting / administrative support; temporary utilities; erosion control / SWPPP; cleaning; field office & supplies;
safety & site security; etc.
Because every General Contractor defines their GC’s differently, the Selection Committee would like to understand what is included in each Proposer’s General Conditions as a basis of comparison and in order to more objectively assess a CMGC’s total value. On a separate page, provide a comprehensive list of the Proposer’s General Conditions. If supervision, administrative or other personnel expenses are NOT a part of the identified GC’s, the assumption is those costs are part of the Supervision and Management Fee, unless otherwise noted. Costs per line item are not required.
Provide the Proposer’s MONTHLY expense for General Conditions. This monthly value will be used, with the agreed upon Construction Schedule, to determine an overall Lump Sum cost for the General Conditions.
For the General Conditions associated with executing the Work as a part of the Construction Phase of the Contract, I/we agree to perform for…
