1.0 PURPOSE

The County of Rockingham, (the County) a political subdivision of the State of Virginia is seeking design-

build proposals from the firms determined qualified by the Board of Supervisors at its meeting on October

22, 2025 to serve as the Design-Builder for the construction of a new County Administration Building to

be located in the County’s Tech Park, Innovation Village at Rockingham. The new building will be

constructed next to the current SRI Building located at 140 Research Dr, Harrisonburg VA 22802. The

qualified contractors as determined by the Board of Supervisors are Harman Construction, KBS Inc., Lantz

Construction, Nielsen Builders Inc., and Warfel Construction.

2.0 BACKGROUND

Rockingham County is in the center of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Nestled between the

Blue Ridge Mountains on the east and the Alleghenies on the west, the County is located along the

Interstate 81 corridor and only a two-hour drive to Washington, DC. Rockingham County is the third

largest county in Virginia and encompasses the Harrisonburg-Rockingham metropolitan area.

The Rockingham County Administration Building is currently located at 20 E Gay Street, Harrisonburg VA

22802. It houses the County Administration, Fire and Rescue, Commissioner of Revenue, Treasurer,

Technology, Human Resources, Finance, Court Services, Registrar, Public Works, Engineering and

Community Development departments. All departments are planned to be moved to the Innovation

Village at Rockingham except for Court Services.

The County Administration Building serves as the central hub for all county operations. Whether voters,

citizens, or business owners, nearly everyone in the community interacts with this facility for various

needs. As such, the functionality of the parking lot and the internal flow between departments is critical.

To support this, the County has conducted a space needs study to guide the Design-Build Contractor in

determining the appropriate locations and square footage requirements for each department and

shared space. A Design-Build approach was selected to provide the contractor with maximum creative

flexibility in developing an efficient layout that optimizes traffic flow while staying within the property’s

spatial constraints.

A mandatory pre-proposal meeting will be held at 140 Research Dr, Harrisonburg VA 22802 on Friday,

November 21, 2025 at 10:30am.
