Public Safety Feasibility Facility Study and Hall Evaluation Services

The City of Eveleth, Minnesota, is seeking a vendor to conduct a public safety feasibility facility study and hall evaluation. The agency needs to assess its existing Police Department, Fire Department, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and City Hall facilities to determine current and future operational needs. This project aims to solve spatial, structural, and operational inefficiencies by evaluating existing site conditions, space utilization, circulation, security, building systems, and code compliance. The scope of work begins with a project initiation phase, including a kick-off meeting with leadership stakeholders from the police, fire, EMS, and EOC departments to confirm goals, schedule, and communication protocols. The selected vendor must perform space programming and operational analysis to address current needs and projected growth. Additionally, the agency requires the development of conceptual site and floor plan diagrams that explore options for maintaining standalone facilities as well as options for physically integrating or connecting the departments. The vendor must prepare high-level cost estimates for each concept, covering both construction and soft costs, and facilitate stakeholder engagement and coordination throughout the process. The agency notes that a future construction management service opportunity may become available after the completion of this feasibility study. Performance of all work must take place onsite in Eveleth, Minnesota. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. Bidders may submit their proposals digitally via email or through an online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget and has not disclosed a pre-determined funding limit or specific key dates in the initial solicitation details.
