RFP-BJ-1214 - Sheridan Public Library -Architect

Summary of Specifications:
The Arapahoe Library District (the ‘Owner’) is in the process of developing a site to house the new Sheridan Public Library. It is the goal to design and construct a one story facility which will be approximately 10,000-12,000 sf in size on the approximate one acre site. It is important to note there is a long history on this site and currently the property resides within the city and county of Denver. Although this will be the Sheridan library it has been deemed by the Arapahoe Library District and Wember that a de-annexation process will not be required or pursued. As the project is within the City and County of Denver the project will proceed with Denver Processes and permitting requirements. It is the intent of the client to proceed with a Design-Build agreement but is soliciting for the General Contractor and Architect services separately. Upon final selection the General Contractor and Architect will work with the Owner and Owner’s Representative to outline design parameters and discuss ways to determine the best approach for successfully and efficiently completing this project. Only after the General Contractor and Architect are selected will the engineers including landscape, civil, structural, FF&E, mechanical and plumbing be brought on board under the Design Build Contract. The Architect will be instrumental in the selection process of these consultants in conjunction with the Contractor and Owner team. It is the intent of the Owner to have a single Design-Build contract completed after the entire team has been established through qualification and fee based selection process.
