Greater Valley YMCA

Greater Valley YMCA Project/Construction Manager Request for Proposal August 19 th , 2022

Land development approvals are not anticipated; however, it will still be necessary to contact local agencies to confirm any impacts to zoning, parking, or historic preservation that may need to be incorporated into the scope of work. DEI has extensive experience in local agency approvals and will take the lead in confirming any requirements. We will develop and continually update the project budget, including abatement, structural/envelope repairs, interior renovations, and soft costs. In this initial planning process, we are also available to provide support for the RACP Business Plan submission or other grant/funding applications that may still be in progress. EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT, ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION, AND SELECTIVE DEMOLITION

The original portion of the Nazareth YMCA dates to 1916. It is a beautiful historic structure, but one that may present challenges with respect to preservation of aesthetics, building envelope condition, structural condition, and presence of environmentally hazardous materials. Additional investigations are needed to confirm various existing conditions, many of which may be hidden behind original walls and ceilings. The extent of environmentally hazardous materials such as

“ The D’Huy approach of planning the work and working with the team to develop clear, concise, and complete documentation, their value engineering and budgeting accuracy is a great asset, and their contributions and expertise provides value in design and construction phase.

asbestos, lead, and PCB’s, will need to be verified. DEI recommends that an RFP be issued for an environmental professional to survey the building and identify the extent of suchmaterials. The RFP would request a fee for the investigation and report, and a separate fee for any effort needed during the construction phase for monitoring and air clearance testing. Once the report is generated, DEI would update the budget and discuss any impacts with GVYMCA. With authorization from GVYMCA, DEI and the environmental professional would then issue bid documents to remediation contractors for the abatement of the hazardous materials. As part of this scope of work, DEI may recommend including selective demolition of original walls and ceilings to expose the building structure and to ensure that all hazardous materials are accessible. The condition of the building structure will be a critical component for the development of renovation drawings. Having existing conditions exposed at the onset will eliminate surprises during the construction phase which may affect constructability and schedule. The selected architect and team of consultants will be able to visually assess the existing conditions following this selective demolition process and prepare the 30% drawings based on those findings. ARCHITECT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL DEI will prepare and issue an RFP for architectural services to develop the design to approximately 30% as requested in the RFP. The advantage of having DEI on your team from the start will be the preparation of an RFP that very clearly defines the requirements and deliverables for the 30% set of documents, upon which the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) will be based. We will have already assisted GVYMCA with the development of preferred systems, outline specifications, budget requirements, and schedule
