The Town expects to enter into a contract with the selected Design-Builder no later than December 31, 2024, and the project must be completed by June 30, 2026. The RFQ provides a budget range of $781,370 to $1,161,151 for the project, with additional funds available for administrative, legal, and relocation expenses. The Town is seeking evidence of Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) utilization from respondents, and submissions will be evaluated based on the Design-Builder's qualifications, project team, relevant experience, and equity considerations.
