Mountain Avenue Ft. Collins, Colorado Kristin Fritz, Senior Project Manager Telephone Fax JANUARY 2018 Midtown on the Max Request For Proposals Page 1 of 16

2 The Fort Collins Housing Authority dba Housing Catalyst (HC) is requesting proposals from General Contractors (GC) to perform construction management general contractor services for a 60-unit Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project known as Midtown on the Max PSH. The successful proposal team will provide the ideal qualifications, demonstrated experience, highest level of innovation, and team synergy within a defined price structure. The project includes the adaptive reuse of an existing 1-story, 20,650 sf building into 60 units of affordable housing for homeless individuals with space for onsite supportive services. Midtown on the Max PSH will provide 100% affordable housing to formerly homeless individuals and veterans with disabilities and include onsite supportive services. The project is an infill-transit-oriented development opportunity based on the Housing First model. The Selected GC should demonstrate their ability to incorporate Housing Catalyst s Guiding Principles into the construction process and the ultimate project. The principles include: Quality Design and Construction Health and Stability Affordability Efficient Operations Environmental Stewardship Development Budget Parameters Housing Catalyst (HC) will act as the Developer for this project. HC is the largest affordable housing developer and property management company in Fort Collins. Established in 1971, Housing Catalyst has over 45 years of experience in developing housing, managing properties, and providing services for the community s most vulnerable people. The Architect, Planner/LA, Civil Engineer, as well as the sustainability/energy consultant will all be procured by Housing Catalyst separately for this project. The selected GC will work in conjunction with HC and all selected team members. The proposed schedule will be driven by the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority s Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) application deadlines and awards. Housing Catalyst plans to submit an application for 9% Tax Credits on June 1, 2018 for Midtown on the Max. For the purposes of feasibility analysis and early funding applications, conceptual designs were previously completed by ALM2S Architecture. As developer, Housing Catalyst seeks to recognize the completed conceptual design but openly test and review the plans without limiting alternate approaches to arrive at a more detailed, completely constructible design. The design is intended to create an affordable housing community with creative community spaces as well as office and meeting space for services provided onsite. The selected GC will work collaboratively with the Developer, other consultants, various City departments, as well as a broad spectrum of Housing Catalyst team members and residents.

3 Housing Catalyst is interested in utilizing an integrated team structure and contracting approach to produce the greatest quality and efficiency in design, preconstruction, and implementation. Integration and alignment of the architect, engineers, and GC in the early stages of design will be required. The architect will participate in an interactive interview and selection process for the GC. The selected GC will be expected to fully participate in all design and preconstruction efforts. Construction Management General Contractor Services & Fees Housing Catalyst seeks to enter into a contractual agreement with a GC for the services listed below. HC s preferred method of calculating project fees is described below. 1. Design Process For the Midtown on the Max, the GC will play an important role in assisting HC and design team with successfully completing the Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Document phases. Integration of constructability analysis and cost estimating will be expected during these phases. Implementing the project design, determining construction specifications and developing a project budget to ensure HC reaches the construction goals and fiscal requirements for the property are also expected. The GC will be required to complete a cost estimate at the Schematic Design (SD) and Design Development (DD) phases, before preparing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) budget based on the Construction Documents (CDs). SD and DD will not be considered complete until the design is approved by the Developer and the Project meets the budget mandates. If Schematic Design completion aligns with CHFA application submittal, the SD deliverables and Cost Estimate may be used for the application. Otherwise, the Design Team and GC will need to provide additional design and cost estimate materials specifically to meet the application deadlines and requirements 2. Cost Modeling Implementing an integrated process to prepare project cost estimates based on agreed upon scope of work is desired. Assisting HC and the Design Team with design analysis and value engineering to maximize efficient use of budget is also expected. 3. Construction Scheduling Prepare a detailed schedule of construction activities including any necessary phasing and a comprehensive draw schedule. 4. Bid Process General administration of bid process including: Midtown on the Max Request For Proposals Page 3 of 16
