Dane County is seeking professional architectural and engineering design services for the renovation of a 45,038 square foot facility located at 2002 Pankratz Street in Madison, Wisconsin, which will become the new Elections Center and Clerk's Office. The Request for Proposals (RFP #324002) requires a consultant with demonstrated expertise in public sector facility renovations, specifically targeting firms with multiple registered architects and engineers who have been in business for at least five years and completed at least three major renovation projects of similar scope. The project involves comprehensive design services for transforming the currently unoccupied 2011-constructed building, with approximately 30,000 square feet designated as warehouse space. Proposal evaluation will be based on multiple criteria: project personnel (15%), relative experience (35%), project descriptions (5%), planning process (20%), interviews (15%), and pricing/cost proposal (10%). Key dates include a mandatory site tour on February 29, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., a deadline for questions on March 5, 2024, at 3:00 p.m., and proposal submissions due on March 15, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. The overall project timeline spans from April 2024 to April 2026, with design phases running from April 2024 to February 2025 and construction, bidding, and commissioning phases from February 2025 to April 2026. The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. The project will be funded through the county's project budget, with the construction budget excluding professional services, fees, contingencies, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) costs. The selected architectural/engineering firm will be compensated through a fixed-fee structure, with monthly payments proportional to services performed across different project phases. The facility is located on a site leased from the Dane County Regional Airport and will require significant renovation to become operational. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the renovation and the size of the facility suggest a substantial investment. The contact for this opportunity is Scott Carlson, Project Engineer/Manager from the Dane County Public Works Department, who can be reached at carlson.scott@countyofdane.com or (608) 266-4179 for any additional inquiries or clarifications about the project.
