Design-Build Services for Fire Station #7

Surry County, Virginia is seeking Design-Build (DB) services for the conversion of an existing structure into Fire Station #7, with a comprehensive procurement opportunity posted on January 22, 2021, and proposals due by January 27, 2021. The project requires a comprehensive design and construction approach for a pre-engineered metal building approximately 65' X 90' in dimensions, featuring three drive-through apparatus bays and associated infrastructural elements. Specific deliverables include complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work, paved aprons and driveways, a standby power generation system, minor remodeling within the existing building, stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), and landscaping/hardscaping components. The procurement appears to require specialized design-build expertise with demonstrated capabilities in municipal fire station construction and renovation. Potential respondents should have proven experience in architectural design, structural engineering, mechanical systems integration, and municipal building compliance. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, typical design-build procurements assess technical approach, past performance, professional qualifications, and cost effectiveness.

The contract opportunity does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises, though Virginia typically encourages minority and small business participation in public works projects. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be an open competitive solicitation for qualified design-build firms with specialized municipal infrastructure experience. While no specific budget range is listed, fire station construction projects of this scale typically range between $1.5 million and $3.5 million, depending on site conditions, equipment requirements, and complexity of mechanical and electrical systems. Respondents should anticipate providing comprehensive documentation demonstrating technical capabilities, previous municipal project experience, professional credentials, and a detailed project approach that meets Surry County's specific fire station infrastructure requirements.
