Norcross selects design firm for police administration building

Norcross has chosen an architectural services firm to design the renovation of the existing Norcross Branch Public Library at 6025 Buford Highway into a new police administration building.

The city received 22 proposals, 21 of which met the requirements laid out in the request for proposal. CROFT & Associates was the highest ranked firm with a proposed cost of $153,700. The design phase of the project is funded by the 2014 SPLOST program.

The 2017 SPLOST program currently includes $970,000 in funding toward this project, which includes design and a portion of construction.

This contract will include construction cost estimation, development of a comprehensive project manual of specifications and all construction documents needed for public bidding of the construction project. Design plans will include interior demolition, site renovations, erosion control, and tree protection/landscape design. Norcross has an established Green Building policy which will be reflected in the future design.
