{HARRISBURG} — The City of Harrisburg took a major step forward on its rebuilding of the Broad Street Market brick building on Tuesday, with the release of our public solicitation for Construction Management Services.
The City is looking to hire a construction management firm to oversee the rebuild of the Broad Street Market brick building, which was partially destroyed in a fire July 10, 2023. The public can view the bid opportunity here.
After hiring a construction manager, the selected firm will have a hand in bringing in its own architect, who will be responsible for adhering to guidelines set forth by virtue of the Broad Street Market being on the National Registry of Historic Places. The selected firm will also provide pre-construction and construction management services for the project as detailed in the Scope of Services.
