City of Lafayette: Starkey Building Renovation

The City of Lafayette, located in Boulder County, Colorado, is seeking Design-Build Construction Teams to renovate the Starkey Building, a 1,200 square foot single-story structure, into a community hub for public and private events. The project, funded through American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, requires comprehensive renovation including full interior gut work, structural modifications, foundation underpinning, roof support enhancement, new finishes, storm water drainage rework, and entrance reconfiguration for accessibility. Proposing teams must provide professional services covering assessment, design, engineering, and construction, with close coordination with City staff. The evaluation will be based on a 100-point scoring system: project team (10 points), team capabilities (20 points), prior experience (25 points), project approach/budget/timeline (30 points), work location (5 points), and price (10 points). Key dates include RFP release on July 1, 2024, a pre-proposal conference on July 16, 2024, proposal submission deadline of July 31, 2024 at 5:00 PM MT, and potential interviews during the weeks of July 29th and/or August 5th, with an anticipated contract term from August 6, 2024, to May 1, 2025.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be procured as a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Design-Build contract, with a total budget of approximately $750,000. Mandatory submission requirements include a signed cover sheet, proposal narrative, insurance information, bid bond, references, and a staffing plan. The project requires performance and payment bonds, with bonds at 100% of the contract price for the first year after completion, reducing to 10% for the second and third years. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance, including Commercial General Liability insurance (minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence), Workers' Compensation insurance, and Comprehensive Automobile Liability insurance. The design-build team will be responsible for verifying existing building conditions, as no as-built drawings are available, and must comply with prevailing wage requirements and potential asbestos-containing materials (ACM) regulations.
