Princeton to release fire station expansion RFP; proposals due Oct. 10 and award expected Dec. 1
Summary
City staff said the request for proposals for a fire station expansion and related substation work will be issued on Aug. 20, proposals due Oct. 10, with a tentative award on Dec. 1 and potential spring groundbreaking next fiscal year.
City staff told the Princeton City Council that a request for proposals for the planned fire station expansion will be issued on Aug. 20, proposals will be due Oct. 10, and the city expects to select a design-builder about Dec. 1.
A staff member said the project is being planned in two phases — an expansion to the fire department and a substation — and that the procurement is structured to allow bidding for both items together so the city will not need to repeat the process. The staff member said the timing aims to allow construction preparation over the winter and a potential groundbreaking in spring of the next fiscal year.
Staff added they have made a few edits to the RFP and that the city will post the solicitation on its website, announce it on Facebook, notify local newspapers and consider additional contract-listing services to reach contractors. Proposals were described as due a little over a month after release.
No formal motions, amendments or date changes for the RFP were recorded in the excerpted discussion. Council members asked no substantive questions in the provided transcript excerpt.
