Summary: The Chicago Consulting Studio (“CCS”) has successfully completed the scope of the base contract and authorized extensions and increases on-schedule and within budget. There is a need for continued program/development management services for the project through the next six months until a construction management team is on board to manage the Central Campus redevelopment. This proposed amendment engages the services of the existing professional service firms. The team includes CCS and Cotter Consulting for strategic program/development management for the Central Campus Health Center and Market Rate development. The Bureau believes continuation with this team as the County’s program/development manager will be an efficient means to ensure a successful launch of the implementation phases of the overall Campus redevelopment.
This contract was awarded as a Comparable Government Procurement pursuant to Section 31-140 of the Procurement Code. Chicago Consultants Studio, Inc. was previously awarded a contract by the Illinois Medical District Commission through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process.
