Timberline Learning Center - Remodel / Expansion

The Town of Breckenridge, Colorado, is seeking a Construction Management General Contractor (CM/GC) for the Timberline Learning Center remodel and expansion project located in Sedgwick County. The procurement is a Request for Proposals (RFP) soliciting qualified firms to provide comprehensive pre-construction and construction services for expanding the existing 3,300 square foot childcare facility. Key deliverables include detailed cost estimates, value engineering options, input on long-lead construction items, and administration of subcontract bid processes for civil site work and vertical construction. The CM/GC will be responsible for evaluating cost implications of construction strategies and providing a Guaranteed Maximum Price during design development and construction document phases. Proposals are due by 12:00 p.m. MST on March 11, 2024, with the construction phase scheduled from May 2024 to November 2024. The project aims to address a significant childcare waitlist, with 520 children waiting for care as of June 2022, particularly for infant and toddler programs. The architectural team includes EUA for building design and Alpine Engineering for site planning and utility work.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The total project budget is $650,000, covering building construction and associated sitework, with the Town reserving the right to not proceed with Phase Two (construction) if deemed not in their best interest. The project will expand the current facility's capacity beyond the existing 68 children across six classrooms, focusing on addressing local childcare needs. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documentation. The CM/GC will need to coordinate with the architectural and engineering teams to develop comprehensive construction plans that maximize the facility's potential and meet the community's childcare requirements. The successful contractor will be expected to provide strategic insights into construction methodologies, potential cost savings, and efficient project execution while maintaining the project's core objectives of expanding childcare capacity in Breckenridge.
