Site work and new construction of an educational facility in Moscow, Idaho. Completed plans call for the construction of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

The Design-Build team shall have a current Public Works contactor license in the State of Idaho in addition to a Design Professional licensed in the State of Idaho to submit a proposal on this project. The Franklin H. Pitkin Nursery, the state nursery ofIdaho since 1909, grows 500,000 seedlings each year for reforestation, windbreaks, wildlife habitat and Christmas tree production. The Pitkin Nursery provides hands-on training in commercial production and research to meet the planting needs of Idahoans and the University ofIdaho Experimental Forest. As the only commercial-scale university research nursery in the western United States, and the only program that provides a seedling-to-log education experience, the Pitkin Nursery is critical to western forestry needs. More than 1,200 customers are annually served throughout Idaho and the western United States. Sixty-eight different plant species are grown each year including conifers, shrubs, deciduous trees, and forbs. New modern greenhouse technology is needed to replace aging infrastructure that will enhance student education, expand training to private and agency nursery professionals, maintain industry-relevant research, and meet growing demand for seedlings Idaho. This Request for Qualifications is for all required site work, structure, irrigation booms, heating/electrical and related equipment for the labor and installation of two gutter-connected greenhouses with a 100,000 seedling capacity per unit to optimize research trials and help to meet growing demand for quality seedlings in the region. The University ofIdaho has requested the Semiautomated Cravo(R) "A-Frame" Retractable Roof Greenhouses with internal retractable blackout curtains to optimize growing conditions be used as the Basis of Design
