Seattle Parks and Recreation Community Center Renovation and Replacement Project Management

The City of Seattle, through its Parks and Recreation (SPR) department, is soliciting proposals for professional project management services to act as the owner's representative for the renovation and replacement of community centers, specifically focusing on the Green Lake and Loyal Heights projects. The anticipated construction contract amounts for these projects are 36.5 million dollars and 17.5 million dollars, respectively. The selected firm will be responsible for overseeing design teams, managing permitting, and driving contractor procurement, preferably utilizing a General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) delivery method. The scope of work encompasses all design phases, from schematic design through construction documents, ensuring compliance with 2010 ADA Standards, Seattle Stormwater Code, and LEED certification goals. Proposals are due by 5:00 pm on April 8, 2025, via the City's e-procurement portal. Evaluation is conducted in two phases: a written proposal scored on experience, service delivery, cost, and an inclusion plan, followed by interviews for shortlisted firms. Award selection follows a trade-off approach based on the highest overall rank. Key contractual requirements include mandatory Washington State UBI and Seattle business licensing, adherence to the Equal Benefits Ordinance for contracts over 69,000 dollars, and the submission of a WMBE Inclusion Plan for contracts exceeding 322,000 dollars. Additionally, the consultant must utilize Procore for project management and meet specific insurance requirements, including naming the City of Seattle as an additional insured.
