I. INTRODUCTION The City of Bozeman (Owner), is seeking statements of qualifications (SOQ) and proposals from General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) firms to undertake preconstruction and construction services for the new Bozeman Public Safety Center (the “Project”).
The Owner intends to enter into a GC/CM contract with the selected GC/CM firm that will include preconstruction services and identification of a GC/CM fee and fixed costs for general conditions work, with provisions for adding construction services through acceptance of a guaranteed maximum price (GMP). The GMP would include construction services through completion of the Project. Alternatively, Owner may, at its sole discretion, choose not to continue the GC/CM contract beyond
the completion of preconstruction activities and solicit bids from qualified contractors for the construction of the Project. When selected, the GC/CM will function as part of a team composed of the Owner, its architect, and others as determined by the Owner.
Information on GC/CMs will be obtained from the responses to this solicitation, interviews, and discussions with former and present clients of Respondents. When selected, the CG/CM will function as part of a team composed of the Owner, Architect, and others as determined by the Owner.
This RFQ/RFP shall not commit the Owner to enter into an agreement, to pay any expenses incurred in preparation of any response to this request, or to procure or contract for any supplies, goods or services. The Owner reserves the right to accept or reject all responses received as a result of this RFQ/RFP if it is in the Owner’s best interest to do so.
This procurement is governed by the laws of the State of Montana and venue for all legal proceedings shall be in the 18th Judicial District Court, Gallatin County. By offering to perform services under this RFQ/RFP, all Submitters agree to be bound by the laws of the State of Montana and of the Owner, including, but not limited to, applicable wage rates, payments, gross receipts taxes, building codes,
equal opportunity employment practices, safety, non-discrimination, etc.

II. SCOPE OF PROJECT - PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
Introduction As a result of a growing population and increased demands for police, court, and fire services, the City of Bozeman has outgrown the spaces it leases from Gallatin County at the Law and Justice
Center at 615 South 16th Avenue. In November 2018, city voters approved funding for a new Bozeman Public Safety Center to be constructed on city-owned property at 902 North Rouse Avenue. The basis for this Project is the Rouse Justice Center which was partially desgned but not approved by voters in 2014.
The Project will be under intense scrutiny by public officials, the media, and the citizens. It is imperative that it be managed, designed, and constructed with the utmost regard to cost, schedule,
and quality control by all participants. There is a clear expectation by the community that
construction costs will come in at, or below, the budgeted amount. The integrity, reputation, skills and performance of the GC/CM must be of the highest caliber to maintain confidence in the Project. The Project scope is to undertake pre-construction and construction services for the new Bozeman
Public Safety Center which voters approved in November 2018. The Owner intends to complete the
programming, design, and construction for a new building to accommodate all services related to Bozeman’s police department, municipal courts, city attorney, victim/witness functions, and the Bozeman Fire Department headquarters fire station.
Design Considerations
The Project is anticipated to be a unique, state-of-the-art criminal justice and public safety center. The facility will primarily serve the residents of the City of Bozeman and will include both public and secure areas for the Bozeman Police Department, Bozeman Municipal Court, and Bozeman Fire
Station #1 but will not include detention services. The building will also contain offices for the
Bozeman City Attorney, Gallatin County victim services program, as well as community, training and seminar spaces. The design must adhere to the city’s design standards and all applicable codes. Sustainability, life-
cycle costs, maintainability, quality, and energy efficiency will be high priorities in the decision-
making process for how this building will be designed and constructed. For the design, the Owner has selected:
Thinkone Architects
101 East Main Street, Studio 1 Bozeman, MT 59715 (406) 586-7020 bhanson@think1.com
The Owner is ready to hire a General Contractor/Construction Manager as the next step to informing and collaborating in the design process. The project is presently in the early programming and planning stages.

III. SCOPE OF PRECONSTRUCTION SERVICES Preconstruction services will be provided on a cost reimbursement basis up to a stated maximum. The specific scope of preconstruction services will be negotiated prior to signing the GC/CM contract. In general, preconstruction services are anticipated to include the following:
1. Participation in all design, coordination, and building committee meetings; 2. Review of all designs for constructability; 3. Work with the Owner and design team on phasing, scheduling, and other strategies to complete construction of the Project on or before the stated date;
4. Coordination and gathering of input from subcontractors regarding constructability; 5. Review and cost evaluation at each phase of design taking into consideration schedule, phasing and market conditions; 6. Consult with, advise, assist, and provide recommendations to the Owner and design team on all aspects of the planning and design of the work;
7. Provide information, estimates, schemes, and participate in decisions regarding construction materials, methods, systems, phasing, sustainability and costs to assist in determinations which are aimed at providing the highest quality building, constructed using the most sustainable construction materials and practices, within the budget and schedule;
8. Actively participate in a value engineering process anticipated to be held at the end of design
development; 9. Review the programming/planning and site selection documents and provide input and advice regarding scope and cost of the Project; 10. Review in-progress design and construction documents and provide input and advice on
construction feasibility, alternative materials, costs and availability;
11. Review completed design and construction documents prior to subcontractor/supplier bidding/selection and suggest modifications to improve completeness and clarity and to eliminate construction change requests due to inconsistencies or omissions in the construction documents;
12. Provide input to the Owner and the design team regarding construction market bidding climate,
status of key subcontract markets, and other relevant economic conditions; 13. Recommend and actively source labor and material resources necessary to complete the project construction; 14. Provide input to the Owner and the design team regarding long lead time materials and
equipment, impact on the construction schedule and strategies for mitigating the impact;
15. Prepare construction cost estimates for the Project at the schematic, design development and construction document design phases and, if appropriate, at other times throughout of the work; 16. Notify the Owner and design team immediately if construction cost estimates appear to be exceeding the construction budget, and reconcile each cost estimate with the Architect’s cost
estimate, if required;
17. Furnish a final construction cost estimate for the Owner’s review and approval; 18. Develop a preliminary construction schedule; 19. Develop all subcontractor/supplier bid packages and perform all advertising and receipt of subcontractor/supplier bids;
20. Obtain bids per trade for the Owner’s review, unless otherwise approved by Owner in order to
meet resourcing requirements, per GC/CM Contract. Self-performed work must be bid against at least two subcontractors, if readily available;
Page 6
21. Upon execution of any early work amendment prior to a GMP agreement, undertake early
material procurement, site preparation, and advance construction work. IV. SCOPE OF CONSTRUCTION SERVICES It is anticipated that the GMP will be requested during the construction documents phase. The
established GMP will be the maximum amount paid for the construction of the Project, unless scope changes are requested and approved by the Owner. Acceptance of the GMP will constitute completion of preconstruction services and the Owner and GC/CM agreement to enter into a GMP Agreement will initiate the construction period services for the Project. At the time of execution of the GMP Agreement, the GC/CM will be required to submit a 100% performance and a 100%
payment bond for the amount of the GMP. The Owner retains the option to not commence or cancel the construction phase services, or to start a new process for the construction of the Project, or terminate the contract and negotiate a replacement contract with the next highest rated Submitter from this solicitation, or to conclude the GC/CM’s services at pre-construction and issue the Project on a lowest, responsible bidder method.
The selected GC/CM will be required to comply (as a minimum allowable rate schedule) with the State of Montana prevailing wage rates adopted and effective at the time of signing the GMP Agreement.

PRELIMINARY PROJECT INFORMATION BOZEMAN PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER CITY OF BOZEMAN March 2019
1. Introduction In response to a growing population and increased demands for public safety and court services, the
City of Bozeman has outgrown its current location and has receivied voter approval to construct a new
state-of-the-art Bozeman Public Safety Center on city-owned land at 902 North Rouse Avenue. Presently the police and municipal courts are co-located with the County’s courts and sheriff at the Law and Justice Center (L&J) at 615 South 16th Avenue and Bozeman Fire Station #1 is located at 34 North Rouse Avenue.
2. Project Location and Site The City owns 8.2 acres at 902 North Rouse which was formally owned by the State of Montana and used as the Montana Department of Transportation’s Bozeman Division facility.
3. Site Selection and Development a. Construction of the new Bozeman Public Safety Center will require demolition of the existing buildings on the site.
b. Rouse Avenue to the east is planned to be widened in 2020 to three lanes with bike lanes. Construction of the police/courts facility is planned to commence in spring of 2020. 4. Design Considerations
The Bozeman Public Safety Center is planned to be a unique, state-of-the-art public safety facility
providing both secure and public areas for Bozeman’s police, courts, victim services and fire station #1. The building will be constructed as a vital public safety facility and include provisions for back-up power generation and passive and active buiding protection features.
5. Area Requirements
Preliminary programming and design work to date have resulted in a building size of approximately 100,000 gross square feet. In summary, the building will be comprised of the following components: a. A public lobby for both police and courts that will allow immediate access to front counter
functions for both, as well as direct access to both a Community Room and the Courts waiting
area. Certain areas of the building will require access through a security screening function. b. The police area that contains Administration, Support, Patrol, and Investigations, along with staff support spaces including break, work, and locker rooms.
