The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Construction Manager at Risk Services for the Durham County Sheriff’s Training Facility was advertised in local newspapers on July 27, 2023. A pre-proposal conference was held on August 8, 2023, and three proposals were received on August 31, 2023. An evaluation committee comprised of representatives from the County Manager’s Office, Durham County Sheriff’s Office, General Services, and Engineering Department reviewed proposals, interviewed all three firms, and found CT Wilson Construction/Rankin III Grading as the most qualified for the project.
The Pre-Construction Services phase of the project is the first step in the Construction Manager at Risk process in which the contracting team will provide cost estimates, constructability reviews, schedule development and value analysis of the project design. This initial contract is necessary for the CM @ R to provide analysis of the schematic design and design development of the project. Funding for this service will be available in the Durham County Sheriff’s Training Facility Capital Project account provided this associated CPA is approved.
This project will entail construction of a new 10,000 square feet training and administrative building, fully renovated outdoor firing range facilities, and site improvements to include improved drainage, walkways, driveways, and parking at the existing Sheriff’s Firing Range. The project is scheduled to receive LEED Silver Certification upon completion. The work will be completed in compliance with the North Carolina Existing Building Code and Durham County's construction standards.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This aligns with Durham County Strategic Goal: Safe and Resilient Community.
