Telluride Public Works Equipment Storage Building Design Phase 2

The Town of Telluride, located in Colorado's Teller County, is seeking sealed proposals from qualified consulting firms to design Phase 2 of the Public Works Equipment Storage and Facility Maintenance Building Project. This Request for Proposals (RFP) requires consultants with expertise in master planning, civil construction, retrofit design, and comprehensive facility planning. The project aims to expand the Public Works Department by developing design plans for new buildings including an equipment storage facility, maintenance building, site development, fuel farm, material storage areas, and improvements to existing facilities. Key deliverables include preparing detailed plans, specifications, engineer's estimates, construction schedules, and 100% complete final construction plans. The town will evaluate proposals based on multiple criteria such as price, firm capabilities, performance history, legal compliance, financial resources, and commitment to environmentally sound practices. Proposals are due by 3:00 PM local time on March 14, 2025, with an anticipated award date of March 21, 2025, and a project timeline targeting resource expenditure by the end of 2026.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project involves a comprehensive design for a campus currently housing multiple departments and extensive equipment, including three dump trucks, various work vehicles, emergency response trailers, and transit buses. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the selected consultant will be required to collaborate closely with the facilities maintenance team to develop recommendations on staffing, equipment needs, and spatial requirements. The project emphasizes improving operational efficiency, employee and public safety, and overall sustainability of the Public Works campus. Though a specific budget range is not provided in the documentation, the project is clearly substantial, involving multiple facility improvements and design phases, suggesting a significant investment by the Town of Telluride. The procurement is structured to integrate the Phase 2 design with an ongoing Phase 1 project, indicating a strategic, phased approach to campus development.
