Request For Proposals 
Construction Management At Risk Services For Platteville Fire Station Construction Project

The City of Platteville invites firms to submit a Construction Management at Risk (CM@R) Services proposal for the Platteville Fire Station Construction Project. The CM will be part of an integrated team to assure that the scope of work and the goals of the city are properly aligned through the design process.

The City of Platteville is proposing to build a new fire station at the current OE Gray Learning Center building located at 155 W. Lewis Street, Platteville, WI 53818. The City of Platteville, WI is currently developing a new Fire Station that will replace the existing Fire Station located at 275 E Main Street, Platteville, WI 53818. In 2021 the City of Platteville received a Fire Department Comprehensive Analysis report which indicated the current OE Gray Learning Center Building at 155 W. Lewis Street, Platteville, WI 53818 as the most suitable location for an updated/new fire station. A space need analysis indicated an anticipated facility size between 28,000 to 32,000 square feet. The intent of the city is to retain a Construction Management at Risk firm to assist the city and the architectural/engineering firm Wendel/Five Bugles Design in managing bidding and construction of the project and to provide input on the design development, construction documents and specifications.  Click here to view the full Request For Proposal, which includes Addendum #01.

The approach to Construction Management at Risk services (CM@R) anticipated for this work include the following concepts:

• The CM offers a perspective on cost, quality, and value to provide the city with the best information possible in the development of building programs.
• The CM acts as Owner’s agent in the field and contractually during construction.
• Allows the inclusion of smaller, local contractors since the project is broken down into numerous small projects.
• Multiple bid packages can be implemented and managed.
• Added experience helps identify lead time concerns and cost control methods during the design process.
• The CM retains the primary responsibility on the budget and project delivery schedules during the implementation phases.
