ADDENDA 3

Question:

Can you please clarify if we are supposed to submit a design concept with our response?

Under these requirements you outline the following:

Methodology and Technical Approach to the Project, Quality and Completeness of the Response of the Proposal: Submission of concept drawings that provide a clear design solution.

Additionally, the following verbiage is under Section 3 - Approach and Design

1. Design Solution Provide your design solution to the requirements of the RFP, as described in the scope of work.

Are you looking for a concept to be submitted with the RFP? Please advise.

Answer:

Yes. Proposers are requested to submit a conceptual design as part of their response. The intent is not to require a full or detailed design at this stage, but rather a concept level design and narrative that demonstrates the firm’s understanding of the project vision, site context, and overall design approach. Concept drawings should clearly communicate the proposed design solution and methodology. Detailed engineering and construction level documents will be developed during subsequent phases following selection.

Question:

We and several other firms submitted questions regarding how to price the construction documents for Geranium Park and have seen the responses in the 2 addenda. We would note that without some sort of guidance, there is not a way to prepare fees for the construction document phase. The master plan process, which can be priced now, will inform how many buildings, what sort of park development, etc. will move into construction documents. That means the fees for the construction documents need to wait until it's known what all will be designed in construction documents. Is there a way to allow firms to submit a fee for the master plan process now, with some sort of suggestion as to how CD fees will be prepared later and negotiate a CD fee later when the scope for the CD plan set can be known?

Answer:

The City acknowledges that the full scope of Construction Documents cannot be fully defined prior to completion and approval of the Master Plan phase. Firms shall submit a fee proposal for the Master Plan and Concept Development phase at this time. Following selection and completion of the Master Plan, the City anticipates negotiating the scope and fee for the

Construction Document phase once the full extent of improvements and design requirements are known. Firms may include in their proposal a general approach for how Construction Document fees would be developed in the future.
