Board approves design‑build RFP for Singers Glen Community Center
Summary
Rockingham County approved a design‑build request for proposal to construct the new Singers Glen Community Center, with Finance Director Rebecca Guthrie describing the project as complex under the Virginia Public Procurement Act due to specialized building systems.
The Board of Supervisors approved a design‑build request for proposal for the new Singers Glen Community Center on July 8.
Rebecca F. Guthrie, the county’s director of finance, briefed the Board and said "this project qualifies as a complex project under the Virginia Public Procurement Act" because it includes specialized building systems and integrated site‑specific requirements that make the traditional design‑bid‑build approach impracticable. The Board approved the design‑build RFP by roll call vote 5‑0.
County staff will prepare the RFP documents and proceed with procurement steps consistent with the Virginia Public Procurement Act. The county did not include a construction budget amount in the report; staff said the complex designation relates to technical scope rather than final cost.
