Design-build seismic rehabilitation of the City of Talent Police Department

The City of Talent is planning a phased design-build seismic rehabilitation of its Police Department building. - Government buyer: City of Talent, Finance Department; project site is the Police Department building, with the City Council considering the procurement approach. - Requested service: One design-build project covering seismic assessment and rehabilitation design and construction; no products, part numbers, or OEMs are specified. - Performance requirements: Meet Risk Category IV Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy objectives under ASCE 41-17. Construction is planned in two phases while the building remains occupied, with half of the building occupied during each phase. - Procurement approach: The City proposes a publicly advertised, best-value competitive-proposal process and an exemption from competitive bidding for the design-build contract. The stated rationale includes technical complexity, safety, value engineering, schedule, and cost-risk management. - Funding and named organizations: The project is supported by a $2,152,595 Seismic Rehabilitation Grant from the Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority within the Oregon Business Development Department. ZCS completed the assessment used for the grant application; no prospective bidders or product manufacturers are identified.
