“The purpose of this project is to evaluate, plan, and develop a Health & Wellness facility that supports athletic performance programs, physical education instruction, student engagement and potential community use while aligning with the District’s long-term campus planning goals,” the notice says.
According to the notice, provided services will include, but are not limited to:

“As part of the feasibility study and pre-design phase, the District requests that firms provide a detailed fee proposal for all services necessary to complete the initial feasibility study, programming, planning, architectural, engineering, and related consulting work,” the notice says. “The fee proposal shall clearly identify the cost associated with completing the feasibility and pre-design phase only, including stakeholder engagement, facility programming, engineering evaluations, alternative development, cost estimating, and preparation of the final feasibility/design report.”
The district also requests that firms provide a “description of their approach to developing an opinion of probable construction cost and total project budget” for the proposed facility.
