Demolition, site work, renovation and addition to an educational facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. Completed plans call for the addition of a educational facility; for the demolition of a educational facility; for site work for a educational facility; and for the renovation of a educational facility.

The University of Utah is seeking qualified firms/individuals for programming, planning and design of a new building expansion. The project is an addition to the existing CVRTI building #500, located at 95 Connor Road Salt Lake City, Utah 84112. The building was constructed in 1939 and underwent two previous building additions in 1983 and 1993. The additional floor area will capture 8,642 gross sq. ft. providing a flexible state-of-the-art research facility while promoting collaboration between students and faculty. The addition is proposed as an infill to the courtyard located between the south and west wings as well as the southeast side of the building footprint. The design will increase collaboration between students and faculty, enhancing the CVRTI research vision. The attached CVRTI feasibility study provides additional information of project site constraints, vision and parameters. Total project budget for the proposed "infill" concept is $5,546,753. Construction costs are estimated at $4,139,964. Q & A deadline: Dec 08, 2020 6:00:00 PM EST The project milestone schedule and recently completed feasibility study are provided as part of the SFC request as attachments in Exhibit A and Exhibit C. A 1993 geotech report is provided for information only as Exhibit B. An updated Geotech will be required for the project. The A/E team will be required to use the existing University standard platforms, Unifier and PlanGrid, for project accounting, project documentation, code review, and construction administration. The A/E team is responsible for all licensing fees for PlanGrid. The proposing teams are encouraged to identify schedule opportunities it believes are feasible to attain the University's project delivery goals. The A/E is expected to prepare options requiring a decision from the owner in an A-3 format outlining the pros and cons of different options in terms of budget scope and schedule in a side by side fashion. Unique Project Risk Factors : Project budget is fixed. Coordinating construction schedule with special events occurring in/around the building and on the campus at the University of Utah. There is limited access, staging area and minimal parking at the proposed site. Underground utilities located near the proposed infill including water, sewer, and electrical lines Potential seismic and/or Hazmat issues given the age of the existing structure, structural compatibility with existing structures and anticipated vibration criteria Integration of all existing building systems with new structure. Slope of site could pose challenges or opportunities. Project Delivery Goals: The goal of this project is to provide an addition that will provide a flexible state of the art research environment for faculty, undergraduate and graduate students while promoting collaboration amongst student researchers and faculty. This approach requires a team that is willing to "think outside the box" in order to drive innovation, quality, cost and schedule. The architectural character of the CVRTI shall be maintained and preserved within in the historical setting of Fort Douglas. The new addition shall maintain the harmony of the existing complex. The project shall follow the DFCM high performance building standard process and meet the requirements thereof.
