Facility Utilization and Master Plan Emergency Services

The government authority in Buffalo, New York is seeking a comprehensive programming and space utilization analysis of its campus to evaluate the feasibility of co-locating public safety functions. This study aims to balance current facility demands with future requirements through a high-level planning lens, ensuring that the integration of new services does not negatively impact existing operations. The agency needs to ensure that police and emergency response training classrooms are not disrupted without a replacement plan in place. The scope of work covers the potential integration of a 24/7 E-911 and Next Generation 911 center, as well as a potential public safety training academy facility. The selected vendor must develop functional and architectural narratives describing each functional area, responsibilities, activities, access, equipment, and square footage. The study must explore multiple development scenarios, analyzing the ripple effect of each to ensure that solving one space problem on site does not create another. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of the work to be conducted offsite. The authority is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for this project, and bidders must submit all questions no later than June 17, 2026.
