A mandatory pre-proposal walk-through meeting was held August 12, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at the facility.

The scope encompasses schematic design, preliminary design, final design, and construction administration (Phases 300–700). The building must accommodate a front-end loader, two zero-turn mowers, a Bobcat, a truck with salt spreader, and other materials, with a minimum of 4 to 6 overhead doors, 12-foot ceilings, and 10-foot-high doors. The design must include a concrete entrance slab with heating and a separate, non-heated salt storage bay with hardened walls and high ceiling. The selected firm must comply with applicable federal, state, and local codes administered by the EPA, OSHA, DOT, and other relevant agencies.

Proposals will be evaluated on 80% technical merit and 20% cost. Compensation follows a billable hourly rate structure on a not-to-exceed basis, with rates calculated from 2025 expenses and detailed cost estimates required at 50% and 90% design milestones. Reimbursable expenses (printing, site surveys, soil borings, travel beyond 100 miles one-way) are reimbursed at actual cost with markups not to exceed 5% for sub-consultants. The contract is expected to be awarded in September 2026, with design completion by February 2027, construction contract award in March 2027, and construction start in April 2027.
