City of Manchester, RFP #23-01 p. 6

Background and Purpose of Request for Proposals The City of Manchester seeks to revitalize the historic Manchester Community Building to meet current needs for education and workforce development, public event space, and tourism. The Building is a prized part of the Manchester community, built in 1935 with Work Progress Administration funds. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the historic nature must be respected. It is located at 103 2nd Ave., Manchester, GA, 31816.

This project will serve citizens in Manchester and the surrounding communities. Manchester is the largest city in Meriwether County, and a portion of the city is in Talbot County.

The Community Building is divided into a main level comprising a lobby, a gym equipped with stadium seating, a stage, and restroom facilities. The basement level currently serves as storage space. While the Community Building has historically functioned as a community center, its current configuration does not fully align with the economic and community development objectives of the City of Manchester.

In addition, there are structural issues that require attention:

• Lack of ADA accessibility

• Non-compliance with 2018 NFPA 101 Life Safety Code

• Outdated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems

• Non-conformance with current building codes

• Water intrusion

All respondents to the Request for Proposals (RFP) are subject to instructions communicated in this document, and are cautioned to completely review the entire RFP and follow instructions carefully.

City of Manchester, RFP #23-01 p. 7

• Retrofit the basement with modern classrooms.

• Wire the building with high-speed internet access.

• Enhance the upstairs gymnasium and stage with up-to-date technology, a small catering kitchen, storage space, and ADA-accessible seating.

C. Project Goals

This RFP is NOT a request for permit or construction documents. It is a request for conceptual architectural design and schematic design documentations, conceptual engineering narratives, and a construction cost estimate.

The Applicant will provide:

• Conceptual floor plan with 3D axons, demo plans, floor plans, building sections, a preliminary site plan, exterior elevations and interior 3D views.

• Provision of an architectural design report and schematic design drawings for pricing.

• Structural Engineering and MEP Engineering narratives.

D. Project Ownership

The ownership of all data, drawings, charts, etc., which are prepared or produced under this proposal or with regard to the Project, shall be that of Owner.

E. A/E Consultant Requirements

Upon execution of a contract, the architect will meet with the Owner to discuss the project scope and the objectives of the Owner for future use of the building. The architect will then prepare conceptual drawings for discussions with the Owner. Comments and suggestions generated from this initial review will be incorporated into the schematic design drawings and estimate.

Upon completion of the schematic design drawings, the architect and Owner will review the drawings and estimates. Evaluation of these schematic design drawings and estimate will be used to finalize the project scope. If deemed necessary by the Owner, revisions to the schematic design drawings may be required.
