Animal Shelter Cat Room Addition.pdf

This is a Request for Qualifications document for architectural and engineering services issued by Rusk County and the City of Ladysmith, Wisconsin for the design of a proposed addition to the Rusk County Animal Shelter. The Owners are seeking consultant services to prepare design plans for a 20x40 foot addition to the existing shelter, which was constructed in 2017 and is currently at capacity with dogs and cats. The scope of the Request for Qualifications is intended to provide necessary information to determine the scope, cost, and other considerations for the animal shelter addition. A preliminary drawing is available in Appendix A of the solicitation. The document does not specify response dates, site visits, bidders' meetings, or award dates within the available information.

Neither the Rusk County Board nor the Ladysmith City Council have approved funds for this project at the time of the solicitation. Approval by both the Board and Council to proceed with the design phase may be requested once architectural and engineering service costs are available. The Owners explicitly reserve the right to terminate the consultant services if they determine the project is no longer viable for any reason. Pricing terms, funding sources, and specific contract amounts are not detailed in the available documentation, as the primary objective of this RFQ is to obtain cost estimates and design feasibility information to support future funding decisions.
