Questions & Answers
Childcare/Early Learning Facility Architectural and Engineering Services
Date Issued
May 10, 2026
Deadline for Receipt of Proposals
June 5, 2026
Is there housing planned for this site, or will the childcare facility be the only
building on this parcel? If there is housing planned, can you share a site plan or
other drawings of that project?
Response: There is housing currently under construction on a site immediately
adjacent to the proposed childcare facility. The childcare center will be the only
building on this parcel. I have attached the Orchard Vista site plan for you.
1. Who will the childcare facility be serving?
Response: It will be open to the community; however, we plan to negotiate with
the selected childcare provider to provide a preference for Orchard Vista
residents living in the apartments. This agreement has not yet been negotiated.
2. Should the proposal include major subconsultants? We find that our clients prefer to
choose them with us as partners.
Response: Please follow the parameters of the published RFQ. You must submit
what you propose to do.
3. Is there a preliminary design/development schedule? When is the ELF grant due?
When are bid documents due?
Response: The ELF grant will not be submitted until the 2027 cycle. This project is
not eligible to submit in the 2026 cycle. This likely means that the construction
would begin sometime in 2028. There are other funding applications that have
already been submitted; however, these would also likely result in a 2027 award and
a 2028 construction schedule.
