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.

- **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.
