This addendum to a Request for Proposals issued by the Town of Marlborough, Connecticut, establishes that submissions for owner's representative and project management services for Marlborough Elementary School roof replacement and HVAC/electrical improvements will be made in two envelopes—one containing qualifications and one containing fees. Proposals are due August 7, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, with a mandatory building walk-through scheduled for July 7 at 9:00 a.m. The selected consultant will serve as owner's representative during the design and pre-referendum phases of this approximately 80,000-square-foot project, with core responsibilities including drafting an RFP for architect/engineer services, establishing project goals and standards, managing design coordination, and ensuring budget and schedule compliance. Respondent firms must demonstrate experience as owner's representative on at least three school construction projects in Connecticut with minimum budgets of $10 million completed within the last seven years, with specific emphasis on HVAC and roof replacement projects in occupied schools. Key personnel must possess at least ten years of construction experience and five years of owner's representative experience, with a dedicated principal serving as the primary point of contact throughout the engagement. Short-listed firms will be notified September 8, with interviews on September 22 and final selection on October 2.

Fee proposals must be submitted separately in sealed form using the provided Appendix A format, with identification of reimbursable expenses and any multipliers applied to actual costs. The project is funded by the Town of Marlborough with reimbursement from the Connecticut Office of Grants and Awardees. The selected consultant is expected to commence services within five days of Notice to Proceed. The selection process complies with Connecticut General Statutes Section 10-287(b)(4), with evaluation criteria including technical competence, Connecticut educational project experience, environmental awareness, coordination capabilities, past performance, knowledge of federal and state policies, Office of Grants and Awardees experience, and high-performance building certification knowledge. Written questions are due July 12 at 12:00 p.m., with responses released July 17.
