Budget Budget has not been determined at this time. However, we believe that a budget of approximately $3,300,000 is possible. Design Teams Teams should include at a minimum persons with the following skills: • Registered engineers specializing in floodplain modeling, civil issues, soils, stormwater control and any other engineering specialties required by the project. • Landscape Architects • Persons familiaz with the processes required to secure needed permits and approvals from all authorities with oversight control (i.e., FEMA, Army Corps of Engineers, NCDOT, OWASA, Duke Power, etc.) • Construction administration and oversight. We are especially concerned that the successful firm should have extensive knowledge in the design of facilities adjacent to active streams that might require extensive flood modeling and permitting to satisfy local and federal floodplain regulations. Working Relationships The design team will work directly with a project manager appointed by the Town. The design team will meet regularly with a Park Project Planning Committee (PPC), which consists of elected officials from the Town and the County governments. The PPC will review plans and give direction at critical decision points. Schedule It is our intent to select a design firm in the fall of 2004. Work would begin immediately upon execution of contract documents. Selection Criteria Each proposal will be evaluated based on the following factors: - RELEVANT EXPERIENCE: Depth of relevant experience of the overall design team including landscape architects, engineers, and other pertinent professionals. We aze especially interested in reviewing relevant experience including design of trails, roads, or other facilities in difficult azeas such as steep slopes and regulatory floodplains. - QUALITY OF REFERENCES: Responders must submit names and contact information for individuals able to provide references from at least three clients. (Additional references aze encouraged). References must be for work similar in nature to the proposed Bolin Creek Trail project, and must include at least one reference from a staff member of a public body. - QUALITY: Quality of projects completed by consultants will be assessed. - TIMING: Ability of the Vendor to begin work immediately. - PROPOSAL: Quality of the proposal document will be considered.
