Summary Explanation and Background:
In light of the recent commitment of funding from the Board of County Commissioners for construction of the new EOC in Rockledge, Purchasing Services, on behalf of Public Works is ready to develop and solicit a Construction Management Firm to oversee the construction of a new EOC.
Upon approval, Purchasing Services and Public Works Facilities will develop and advertise the RFQ, with an estimated advertising date in mid to late May. Responses will be opened in June and the selection and award of a contractor will be made in advance of completion of the revised EOC drawings (additional square footage being added to the original design). This will allow the County and the construction management firm to begin solicitation and selection of a general contractor that will construct the new EOC. It is anticipated the construction management contract will be awarded in July or August 2021.
It is requested that the Board approve the development and advertisement of an RFQ to select a Construction Management firm that will oversee the construction of the new EOC. It is also requested that the Board appoint the selection and negotiation committee and authorize the County Manager to execute all resulting contracts, contract amendments and any necessary contract extensions, upon review and approval by the County Attorney’s Office, Risk Management, and Purchasing Services, and lastly, authorize the County Manager to approve any necessary budget change requests.
