Architectural Services For Phased Tenant Improvements At 681 Main Street

The City of Placerville is soliciting proposals for comprehensive architectural and engineering design services to perform phased tenant improvements at 681 Main Street. The project involves the renovation of a 28,000 square foot facility, constructed circa 1955, to consolidate all City services into a single location. A critical objective of the project is a target move-in date of January 2027, with priority given to the build-out of spaces for the Police Department, Public Works Administration, and Parks Department. The scope of work includes an existing conditions assessment, prioritized programming, the development of a phasing plan, schematic design, and construction administration. Services are primarily focused on interior improvements and limited facade updates, while specifically excluding structural modifications, elevator upgrades, generator design, fire sprinkler system design, and parking lot improvements. All designs must comply with the 2025 California Building Standards Code, the California Fire Code, and specific City of Placerville codes. The selection process utilizes a trade-off evaluation method, heavily weighting accelerated experience and the ability to meet the January 2027 deadline at 25% each, followed by project team qualifications at 20%, overall project understanding at 15%, and the fee proposal at 15%. The successful firm will be required to execute a modified AIA B101 Owner-Architect Agreement or an equivalent City standard agreement. Proposals must be submitted as a single PDF via email and in three hard copies by June 29, 2026.
