This is a Design Professional Manual chapter document supporting the City of Rio Rancho's Request for Proposal for design services related to Fire & Rescue Station 3 Bay Project in New Mexico. The document establishes professional standards and requirements for design consultants undertaking the vertical building construction and modification of the existing occupied Fire Station. The scope of work requires the selected consultant to provide comprehensive coordination, engineering, and architectural services including preliminary and final design, construction estimates, specifications, surveys, analyses, and right-of-way/property mapping documentation. The consultant must account for life-safety requirements, continuity of emergency operations, and maintain ongoing coordination with Fire and Rescue Department staff throughout all design phases and construction periods.

The consultant may be required to provide additional services including bidding assistance and construction phase services with office support and on-site construction observation. The Design Professional Manual chapter establishes the technical standards, protocols, and professional requirements that must be followed by the design consultant to ensure compliance with the City of Rio Rancho's design and construction standards. This document serves as a reference guide for design professionals to understand the city's expectations regarding engineering practices, documentation requirements, and coordination procedures for projects of this nature, particularly those involving modifications to occupied facilities with critical operational demands.
