City Hall East Wing Renovation

The City of Sweet Home is seeking proposals from qualified design-build firms to renovate the East Wing of City Hall for occupancy by the Community Services Consortium (CSC), a critical regional service provider. This project involves converting an unfinished section of the building into fully functional, ADA-compliant office and service space, including restrooms, kitchenette, HVAC, and other infrastructure improvements.

The selected firm will be responsible for both the design and construction phases, with strong preference given to teams willing to supervise and integrate CSC workforce program participants into applicable parts of the project. The City anticipates construction will occur on the timeline outlined in the scope of work and is committed to selecting a partner that can deliver a high-quality, cost-effective solution aligned with community values.

The City of Sweet Home, Oregon (pop. 10,097), is a growing municipality nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, covering approximately six square miles in Linn County. Operated under a Council-Manager form of government, the City is governed by a Mayor and six at-large Councilors who also serve as the Local Contract Review Board. Sweet Home’s location—25 miles east of I-5 and surrounded by the Willamette National Forest, Foster Lake, and the South Santiam River—makes it a hub for both regional recreation and rural economic activity.

Each summer, the City draws thousands of visitors for outdoor recreation and events such as the Oregon Jamboree music festival, which attracts over 15,000 attendees. The community also serves as a critical waypoint for travelers headed to Central Oregon and continues to expand with new residential development and growing interest in commercial and industrial investment.

This project supports that growth by preparing a key portion of City Hall for lease to the Community Services Consortium (CSC), which will expand vital workforce and social services to East Linn County. Delivering this project successfully will directly support the City's strategic goals around facility modernization, community partnerships, and workforce development.
