The Town of Frederick is in need of professional services to develop master plans for the Town and its facilities. These professional services are expected to be interdisciplinary in nature, including planners, engineers, architects, and other providers that may help fulfill the intent of the project. Reviewing staffing plans and analyzing the impacts of the COVID- 19 pandemic and the subsequent changes in Town operations will be important to planning.
The project includes, but is not limited to, production of a comprehensive master plan for the Civic Center/downtown properties located at Fifth and Locust in Frederick or potentially moving those facilities to a more advantageous location in Frederick. Current downtown facilities include six buildings that house the police department, town hall, administrative services, engineering, and wellness. The comprehensive master plan will identify current conditions of the buildings and grounds for Town facilities and propose future improvements to address Town needs. The final product will be a formalized long-range plan with floor plans, sketches, images, site plans, phasing, and best available estimated costs for any future phase. Constructible plans are not included in the expected deliverables and may be part of a future solicitation.
Proposals are to be submitted to the attention of the Facilities Manager for the Town of Frederick, in accordance with the Instructions to Proposers and all other requirements as referenced in this RFP. Proposals will be received until the Proposal Closing Date and time set forth on the cover page of this RFP, at which time a representative of the Town will publicly announce the names of those firms or individuals submitting proposals. No other public disclosure will be made until award of contract, if any.
