Background Information:
In May 2017, San Marcos residents approved bonds to fund Police Department renovations for approximately $5.5 million. The project consists of renovating the existing 911 center, adding security and perimeter fencing, renovating the parking and improving drainage, replacing existing HVAC equipment, and creating new offices within the police station.
On October 11, 2018, the City received ten (10) Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from various Texas architectural and engineering firms. All SOQs were evaluated by a City-staffed evaluation committee including the City’s third party project manager, Jacobs Project Management Company. Following initial evaluations, interviews were conducted with the top three (3) shortlisted firms. As a result, the evaluation committee selected KGA Architecture, located in Dallas, Texas, as the most highly qualified firm based on demonstrated competence and qualifications. The City has negotiated a fair and reasonable price with KGA Architecture in the amount of $459,000 for architectural/engineering services for the Police Department renovations.
Prior to start of design for this project, KGA Architecture, will conduct a site and building needs assessment to investigate, assess, and report the condition of the existing site, building, and building systems. The assessment will be used to establish the basis of design and baseline cost estimates for the proposed improvements to the site, the building expansion/remodel, potential improvements to the HVAC system, and upgrades to the Information Technology infrastructure and dispatch/911 technology.
