Specifications include, but are not limited to: This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) for qualified architectural firms to provide services for the design and construction of a new Fire Station in American Fork, to be known as Station 52. The city will be using the Construction Manager / General Contractor (CMGC) alternative delivery method for this project. The goal is to reduce the overall time of the project, thereby allowing occupancy and beneficial use of the facility to take place sooner than would otherwise occur using the traditional design-bid-build method.There will be three main tasks to this architectural contract. Task 1 will consist of the architect providing technical assistance to the city during the selection of a CMGC. Task 2 of the project includes preparing detailed design and construction drawings of the facility including specifications, construction costs, and schedule. Close coordination with the selected CMGC will be crucial to this task. This task will also include all obtaining all permitting. Task 3 will be for construction services such as inspection, oversight, review of submittals,conformance to the facility design, change orders, and project closeout. We anticipate that there will be considerable overlap in the timing of these tasks.
