Request for Proposal

Pre-Design of Burnsville City Hall/Police and Maintenance Buildings

The City of Burnsville recently completed a space needs study for the City Hall/Police and Maintenance facilities. As a next step, the City is now seeking proposals from qualified architectural and design firms to perform a pre-design for these buildings. 

The selected firm will work with City of Burnsville staff and decision makers to identify needs and develop options that ensure a high efficiency workplace. Plan options must give flexibility to adapt to future needs, looking out at least 20 years. The consultant will analyze space requirements, identify the constraints and maximum opportunities of the existing sites, develop a Program and Schematic Design which describes all the rooms and spaces for the project, their sizes and specific features, cost estimating, and project phasing. It is essential that the analysis be conducted in a transparent manner and involve the operations staff to the appropriate degree.
