II. PROJECT OVERVIEW

Introduction Colorado Northwestern Community College (CNCC), in partnership with the Moffat County Affiliated Junior College District (MCAJCD), is initiating the Craig Small Scale Housing Project to address critical workforce and student housing needs in the region.

IPD-DBGMP-RFP pg. 3

The proposed development includes the construction of five 3-bedroom townhomes on state-owned land adjacent to CNCC’s Craig Campus.

Colorado Northwestern Community College anticipates using a Design/Build Entity approach to project delivery where the Design/Build Entity will design, manage and construct the project as described within.

The process to be used in the selection of the Design/Build Entity is comprised of two steps. STEP I is the Submittal of Prequalification as described in Section X. STEP II is the Oral Interview/Fee Proposal as described in detail in Section XI. A Jury Panel of individuals who will be involved in the project and/or understand the required services associated with Construction Management/General Contracting will evaluate responses to this RFP for both steps. Upon completion of the evaluation of the Submittals of Prequalification, a limited number of firms will be invited to the oral interviews. Sealed fee proposals will be required only from those firms who are interviewed and are to be submitted as indicated in this RFP. Both qualifications and fee will be considered in the final ranking of firms with qualifications given 60% of the value of the weighted criteria and fees for the Fee Proposal given 40%.

Selection and award of this project will be based on a combination of qualifications and costs that represent the best overall value to the State.

Scope of Services The selected firm will be responsible for confirming program requirements and space needs with CNCC and MCAJCD. The firm will assess site conditions, utilities, and applicable code requirements, and provide preliminary site and building concepts along with cost estimates.

Design development will include schematic design, design development, and construction documents prepared in coordination with CNCC and project stakeholders. Upon approval of the design, the firm will prepare bid packages to support competitive bidding and selection of trade partners.

During the construction phase, the firm will provide full construction services, including site preparation, foundation, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for five (5) pre-manufactured three-bedroom townhomes. The units shall be fully finished, code-compliant, and delivered in accordance with the Office of the State Architect process.

The scope of services assistance to the State during the process of assessment, design, construction, and warranty period. Specific tasks to be performed by the Design/Build Entity include those generally performed by the Design/Build construction community where the Construction Manager is also the Contractor. A sample copy of the State’s Design/Build contract is contained within the RFP. A Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) will be required at the completion of Design Development phase.

Appendix C of this RFP includes the project concept, program and specifications that apply to this project and are incorporated by reference into the contract agreement

IPD-DBGMP-RFP pg. 4 as required initial design criteria. Deviation from the project concept, program and specifications must be justified in writing and approved by Colorado Northwestern Community College Representative before incorporation into the project.

Appendix D of this RFP includes mandatory construction standards and aesthetic guidelines that are incorporated by reference into the contract agreement. Deviation from the Colorado Northwestern Community College standards must be justified in writing and approved by Colorado Northwestern Community College Representative before incorporation into the project. The building and site design is required to respond to the aesthetic guidelines. Formal presentation of the proposed design to a review committee for approval may be required.
