1. Perform all investigative work necessary to establish existing conditions. 2. Define alterations and or potential work to directly address issues relating to high humidity in affected spaces. 3. Prepare preliminary designs and cost estimates. Please note that the Board of Education is subject to prevailing wage requirements in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes. Budgets developed must be comprehensive, including costs for construction, administration and inspection, permitting, printing, engineering, special inspections, materials testing, etc. Cost associated with a presentation of the preliminary designs and cost estimates should be considered in your proposal. 4. Prepare complete construction plans, including, but not limited to, plan and profile views, cross sections, typical details and detailed cost estimate sheets. Design submissions will be required at the preliminary and final design stages. 5. Prepare all construction documents, including, but not limited to, notices, special provisions, and detailed unit price bid proposals. All construction documents shall be submitted at the semi-final stage. Provide finished drawings and specifications to the District for bidding by the Purchasing Agent; it is expected that your firm will be available for assistance in the bidding process. Your firm should assume that drawings and specifications will be made available to bidders directly, providing online access and direct document handling (i.e. printing costs borne by the bidders). 6. Attend pre-bid meetings, address RFI’s, and review and evaluate bids received, including detailed analysis of the three lowest bids. Then work in conjunction with the District to recommend the awarding of the contract. 7. It is anticipated that the selected firm’s obligation during construction will involve plan and specification interpretation and clarification as necessary, attendance at job meetings, assistance in compliance throughout construction, assistance in the coordination of special inspections, review of materials testing, limited inspection of work performed by contractor(s), and approval of payment requisitions from contractor(s). The selected firm is expected to include the cost for a level of inspection services that would permit the firm to satisfy itself of the work prior to signing requisitions for payment.
