Public Safety Complex - Site Package, 35% Submittal.pdf

This is a 35% design submittal document for the Public Safety Complex project being developed for Portsmouth City, Virginia under RFP 49-26-SKL, a Public-Private Education and Infrastructure Act (PPEA) procurement. The submittal presents the site package and preliminary design development for a public safety facility that will consolidate emergency services operations. The document outlines the facility program requirements, site analysis, and initial design concepts at the 35% completion stage, establishing the foundation for detailed design development and construction planning. The project follows the PPEA delivery model, which structures the engagement as a public-private partnership with alternative financing and long-term operational considerations rather than a traditional design-bid-build approach. Proposals for this project were due July 29, 2026.

The 35% submittal package includes site planning, building massing, preliminary floor plans, and schematic design elements that address the functional program for public safety operations. As a PPEA project, the procurement framework emphasizes availability payments and long-term operational performance metrics rather than traditional fixed-price construction contracting. The document serves as a baseline for evaluating proposer responses and their ability to develop the design further while maintaining feasibility for the alternative delivery and financing structure inherent to PPEA transactions. Specific pricing terms, facility costs, and detailed performance requirements are contained within the full RFP documents and any issued addenda.
