Summary & Background: Pre-Construction Services and Construction Phase Services to include Construction Management Phase Fee to complete the Construction Management at Risk Services for the new Fulton County Animal Shelter Facility.
Scope of Work: The Construction Manager is to provide (i) Pre-Construction Phase Services that include, but will not necessarily be limited to, drawing reviews and reports; constructability reviews; valve engineering reports; detailed cost estimates; scheduling; and developing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Proposal and (ii) Construction Phase Services including bidding, negotiation, construction supervision, and an on-site field office necessary to complete the Construction Management at Risk Services for the new FCAS.
Project Background:
The current FCAS facility does not meet animal care and veterinary best practices or standards due to its age and insufficient capacity. It was constructed in 1978 and is so undersized and outdated that it cannot serve the current high volume of animal intakes and poses health and safety risks for the animals, volunteers, and staff. There is little room for people to meet animals, which works against adoption goals.
The new FCAS facility will include appropriate spaces for meeting animals in a manner that facilitates calm, quality interactions away from distracting stimuli. Community members will be able to meet with FCAS staff and volunteers in private spaces to share information and resources and make the right adoption matches. Additionally, the veterinary clinic can serve constituents by providing spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations. A facility that enables FCAS to provide community resources will reduce animal issues over time. A well-located facility promotes faster Animal Control Officer response time, improving public safety.
