Victorville Municipal Utility Services (VMUS) Shop/Warehouse Design and Construction Estimate

PROJECT NAME: VMUS Shop/Warehouse Design and Construction Estimate We are soliciting proposals from experienced design professionals or firms for the design and cost estimation of a new shop/warehouse facility. This structure will serve as a centralized location for storing utility parts and equipment and may also include functional space for administrative use. The goal is to create a durable, efficient facility that optimizes storage, access, and operational workflows. The selected firm will be responsible for producing complete architectural and structural plan sets suitable for permitting and construction. These plans must include site layout, floor plans, elevations, and detailed structural, mechanical, and electrical drawings, as well as material specifications. A comprehensive construction cost estimate—covering labor, materials, and contingency allowances—is also required. In addition, the selected firm will be expected to respond to design-related questions from contractors during the construction bidding phase to help ensure clarity and accuracy in submitted bids. Proposals should include firm qualifications, relevant project experience, a proposed timeline, fee structure, and samples of similar work. Innovative, cost-effective solutions that emphasize functionality and long-term durability are strongly encouraged.
