1432 West Ironwood And Garden Level City Hall

Project Description: Located in the Kansas City metropolitan area, the city of Olathe, Kansas (“City”) is located approximately 20 miles southwest of downtown Kansas City. Today, Olathe covers an area of approximately 60.5 square miles, with a total future growth area of approximately 90 square miles. With a population of approximately 157,000, Olathe is the second-largest city in Johnson County. For additional information regarding the city of Olathe, please refer to the city of Olathe website at www.olatheks.gov.
The City, in an effort to reduce reliance on leased property, and efficiently use space already owned by the City, is looking to build out the lower level (Garden Level) of City Hall, 100 East Santa Fe, Olathe KS, 66061 and approximately one half of 1432 West Ironwood St, (“Little Ironwood”), Olathe KS 66061. Work desired for 1432 Ironwood, currently warehouse space, includes adding exterior windows, and renovating roughly 1/2 of the warehouse space to provide offices, conference, breakroom, open office and workroom space for approximately 25-30 staff. In the Garden level of City Hall, removal of walls and film on exterior windows will help in opening up the lowest level and creating an inviting space for staff. New carpet, lighting, ceiling tile and support spaces will provide a welcoming environment for approximately 40 staff members.
The City seeks qualification proposals from highly qualified progressive design-build teams interested in providing comprehensive programming, planning, design, and construction services for the renovation of these spaces. The successful team will have highly qualified personnel with extensive experience and expertise, having previously provided full-service programming, planning, design, and construction services for projects of similar scope and purpose as these underutilized spaces. Additionally, the City seeks a design-build team comprised of firms and personnel with proven work experience delivering projects utilizing the design-build delivery method.
The City invites interested and qualified design-build teams desiring to be considered as the Design-Builder for this project to submit a statement of qualifications. Firms considering this request for qualifications are encouraged to thoroughly review this document to familiarize themselves with the instructions, information, procedures, and requirements contained herein. Statements of Qualifications must be prepared and submitted per the criteria and procedures established in this request for qualifications.
