Piggyback Contract

Description

The County of Tazewell currently operates court-related services in multiple buildings in Downtown Pekin, including the following:

Courthouse (324 Court St): Seven courtrooms with ancillary spaces, court administration, law library, Circuit Clerk, and State’s Attorney's offices
Old Post Office Building (334 Elizabeth St): Probation and additional State’s Attorney’s offices
McKenzie Building (11 S 4th St): Jury selection room
Tazewell Building (414 Court St): Public defender
Rented Space: Veteran’s Assistance
Rented space: Guardian ad-litem

The County seeks to construct a new Justice Center Annex to consolidate many of these functions, while also utilizing space that will be made available in the Courthouse from moving out services. The Tazewell Building and Old Post Office would be vacated as part of the project. The new facility will be located at the corner of Elizabeth St and Capital St, northeast of the current Justice Center (101 S. Capitol). Demolition of the buildings on the project site has commenced and the lots will be backfilled with dirt. The location may include the alleyway of the block and the portion of Elizabeth St between the current Justice Center and the site. The project site is near railroad tracks and the sound will need to be addressed.

The new facility must meet the most recently updated Minimum Courtroom Standards in the State of Illinois, as issued by the Supreme Court of Illinois and available at https://www.illinoiscourts.gov/Resources/bd93304f-8a12-4d92-aecb-56ee75b95cc1/Courtroom_Standards.pdf.

The new facility shall be designed in a manner to allow a connection to a secured area of the current Justice Center, and in a manner that takes into account the aesthetics of downtown Pekin and neighboring buildings.

In addition, the Selected Respondent shall provide options for the inclusion of additional offices currently within the McKenzie Building and Emergency Management Agency Building (21304 Illinois Route 9, Tremont) to be included in the new facility or Courthouse. If the project budget does not allow for the inclusion of these offices, the site plan shall be designed to allow for future expansion to accommodate all needs.

A space needs review will be completed for all offices in the Courthouse, Old Post Office, McKenzie Building, Tazewell Building, EMA building, guardian ad-litem space, and for the maintenance department needs. A feasibility study was conducted in 2022 for the court-related services, with the work product being a starting point for the review. The Selected Respondent will work with the needs and requirements of the County to determine the new space plan.

The Selected Respondent shall design any renovations to existing facilities to accommodate office changes. The renovations may be completed in a subsequent phase from the new facility, with the bidding and construction phases possibly occurring at subsequent dates.

The selected architectural and engineering team will include all services, including structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, interior design and landscape architectural services. The members of the architectural team and their qualifications shall be clearly delineated in the statement of qualifications submitted. Civil Engineering and surveying are included in this RFQ process, including testing services.

The general scope of service of the selected Firm with / without Sub-Consulting Firms will comprise the County’s Design Team. The Design Team will participate in all phases of the design and construction process, culminating in the new facility.

In addition, any Consultant or Sub-Consultant shall be properly certified and licensed under the laws and regulations of the State of Illinois to provide the services solicited herein.

The generalized estimate for the total cost of the new facility, including construction management, design, furniture, fixtures and equipment is $28-$32 Million.

Visits to proposed site will be coordinated through Assistant County Administrator/ Finance Director Mindy Darcy at bids@tazewell-il.gov or (309)477-2237.
