Description
This solicitation seeks a qualified architectural and engineering firm (or consortium) to provide full design‑build services for a new 3,000‑sq‑ft Emergency Medical Services Post 1 in Wichita, Kansas. The scope covers schematic design, detailed construction documents, permitting, ADA compliance verification, bidding assistance, and construction administration—including weekly site visits, payment application reviews, and final close‑out. The project must incorporate a storm shelter meeting IBC 2024 and ICC 500‑2023 standards, be elevated above a Zone A floodplain, and include a pre‑engineered metal building with brick façade, ambulance bays, interior crew spaces, and site work such as paving and landscaping. The county will supply the geotechnical report and will hire a separate peer‑reviewer for the storm‑shelter design. Proposals must include hourly rates for each discipline and a lump‑sum price; a “opinion of probable cost” is required after Phase 1. The RFP emphasizes compliance with Kansas statutes, insurance requirements, and AIA ethics.
