NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS:

This Amendment forms a part of the Contract and clarifies, corrects, or modifies the original Request for Qualifications (RFQ) documents prepared by the City of Buckeye.

The balance of the specifications and instructions remain the same. Contractor must acknowledge receipt and acceptance of this Amendment by returning the attached Solicitation Amendment Acknowledgement Page with the SOQ.

QUESTIONS FROM CONTRACTORS:

Q1. Can we see the options given to the community at the open house or the one the community is leaning towards?

A1. During the open house, the City did not present a specific library layout. Richärd & Kennedy Architects provided several potential spaces, including an adult area, children’s play area, meeting rooms, community center, and learning center, etc. The purpose of the exercise was to give the public an opportunity to move the different spaces around and provide feedback on how they would like the library to be organized and function. Currently, there is no finalized layout or preferred option. The layout will be developed based on the feedback received through the public survey, which closes on September 25, 2026, and as we move into the design phase.

Q3. What is the anticipated completion date of the Church?

A3. The Church is scheduled for completion by September of 2027.

Q4. Is there a construction budget?

A4. The budget is still being worked on with the architect, but we are estimating around 11 to 12 million dollars for the construction budget.

Q5. Will there be access to the Church for utilities?

A5. There will be full access to dry utilities/communications. The Church will be bringing the utilities to the pad and there will be access to their drawings, etc.

Q6. What is the anticipated completion date for design?

A6. Right now, the City is targeting September 2027 for the completion of design.

Q7. Has there been coordination with APS regarding which transformer the City is planning on utilizing?

A7. There are two transformers on site. One is on the north side and then the other one is on the southwest corner. APS confirmed that each transformer will not be able to handle the combined load for the library and Church. The City is anticipating the Church will be utilizing the transformer on the north side and the library will be utilizing the transformer on the southwest corner.

Q8. Is there an overall page limit for the SOQs?

A8. Page limit is determined by individual sections and individual components of each section. Information over the specified limits will not be considered.
