BACKGROUND
The City of Platteville, WI is currently developing a new Fire Station that will replace the existing Fire Station located at 275 E Main Street, Platteville, WI 53818. In 2021 the City of Platteville received a Fire Department Comprehensive Analysis report which indicated the current OE Gray Learning Center Building at 155 W. Lewis Street, Platteville, WI 53818 as the most suitable location for an updated/new fire station. A space need analysis indicated an anticipated facility size between 28,000 to 32,000 square feet. The intent of the city is to retain a design team that will develop a conceptual schematic design. After owner approval of the selected schematic designs, the design team will be authorized to begin development and proceed with the creation of construction documents. Prior to the design development stage, the city, working with the selected consultant, is expected to select a Construction Manager to manage bidding and construction of the project and to provide input on the design development and specifications. The city reserves the option of moving forward with a traditional hard bid, general contractor option.
