Request for Proposals being taken for Village of Sharon, WI Master Plan and Feasibility Study for Village Owned Buildings

The Village of Sharon, Wisconsin has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a comprehensive Facilities Feasibility Study to evaluate and strategically plan for its municipal buildings over the next 10-20 years. The study encompasses four primary facilities: Village Hall (which houses Administration and Police), Community Center, Martin Brigham Library, and four buildings from Sharon Telephone Company designated for donation to the Village. Proposers must submit a detailed package including a letter of transmittal, firm profile, work procedures, project schedule, and itemized costs broken down by building. The RFP requires contractors to demonstrate expertise in public participation, facility planning, policy development, and strategic problem-solving. Specific deliverables include comprehensive site analysis, needs assessment, alternative concept plans, design considerations with sustainable practices and ADA compliance, detailed cost estimates, implementation timelines, and maintenance projections. The proposal submission deadline is May 28, 2021, with proposals required to remain effective for 60 days following the submission date. Evaluation criteria will prioritize technical expertise, proposed methodological approach, and cost relative to professional services provided.

The RFP does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. All contractors must comply with nondiscrimination and sexual harassment policies and must permit access to employment records for compliance verification. The contract is subject to final approval by the Village Trustees, who reserve the right to reject any or all proposals and to proceed with feasibility studies on all buildings or only a portion thereof. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the document, the comprehensive nature of the study suggests a significant investment in understanding and planning the future of the Village's municipal infrastructure. The study's scope indicates a potential multi-year planning process with phased implementation strategies for facility improvements and potential renovations. Prospective bidders should be prepared to provide a holistic, strategic approach to municipal facility planning that balances immediate needs with long-term community goals.
