RFP General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) Services for Washougal Public Safety Complex

General work description: A multi-phased replacement of Fire Station 43. The existing fire station was built in 1974 and has been added on to and modified far beyond its original design and intent. The building suffers from frequent floods, sewer backups, and does not meet current health and safety standards. The project will be constructed over the course of a fifteen-month period. As part of this replacement, Station 43 (staff, vehicles, equipment, and bunk rooms) will be temporarily relocated to the west of the site in the existing Silver Star Search and Rescue Building. Prior to the relocation, the Silver Star Search and Rescue Building will undergo improvements needed to serve as the temporary Fire Station 43. The project will also include the demolition of their existing Fire Station 43, the demolition of existing site pavement and excavation of existing soils. The project will also include improvements to the existing City of Washougal Police Station, located directly to the west of the current Fire Station 43. The proposed Fire Station 43 and the Washougal Police Station will be joined architecturally, both exterior and interior. The Police Station program includes a new Community/Training Room, Lobby, Fitness Room and Break Room. The Police Station will remain operational during the demolition and construction phases. Extensive coordination is required for the police staff, squad cars, general contractor temporary facilities, and sub-contractor vehicles. The contract period is expected to begin immediately upon selection of City of Washougal’s GC/CM firm and extend through completion and close-out of the project anticipated on or before October 2027.
