Owner's Project Management Services - So. Div. Firehouse & Emergency Communications Facility / DSB

The City of Worcester solicited qualifications for an Owner’s Project Manager (OPM) to lead the design and early‑stage delivery of a new South Division Firehouse and Emergency Communications Center, a project estimated at $35 million. The OPM’s Phase I scope (capped at $250,000) includes designer selection, feasibility studies, temporary apparatus bay analysis, programming, and schematic design coordination, with required LEED‑Gold certification and extensive community engagement. The award was made to Colliers Project Leaders, and the contract is qualification‑based with a firm‑fixed‑price ceiling for Phase I services. • Phase I OPM services (tasks I‑IV) limited to $250 k fee‑cap. • Required LEED AP BD+C certification and MCPPO status. • Includes designer selection, feasibility study, temporary apparatus bay options, CM@Risk RFQ preparation, and schematic design oversight. • Subsequent construction‑phase oversight (≈$35 M) may be retained, but not part of the initial award.
