The Dormitory Authority State of New York (DASNY) is seeking proposals from Construction Management firms to provide construction management services during the design, bid, and construction phase and for the administration of general conditions for the University at Buffalo Ellicott Welcome Center Project located at the University at Buffalo North Campus, Ellicott Welcome Center, 376 Red Jacket Quad, Buffalo, New York 14261 (the "Project") using a Construction Manager-Build (CM-Build) project delivery method. A CM-Build project delivery method is similar to a Construction Manager-at-Risk project delivery method, in that the Construction Manager is involved during the design phase of the project, procures the construction phase trade contracts, and manages the construction phase of the project. However, in a CM-Build delivery method, a Guaranteed Maximum Price is not provided prior to bidding the trade packages, rather a Maximum Contract Price ("MCP") is established after the Construction Manager procures the trade packages. The CM-Build Contractor (hereinafter referred to as the "Construction Manager" or "CM") is a Construction Manager who will contract with DASNY to submit an MCP. The estimated construction value for this Project is $12 Million. The Project is anticipated to include the renovation of approximately 24,000 sf of existing interior space and exterior plaza space at the Ellicott Complex. The renovation will enhance the facade, exterior space, and interior wayfinding experience at the South side of the Fargo Quad to create a proper gateway from the academic spine into the residential Ellicott Complex. On the exterior, the Project will consist of construction of a new canopy, exterior stairs to the plaza level, and enclosing a portion of the plaza level for circulation and gathering spaces. On the interior, the Project will add a defined circulation path through the first level, onto the plaza level and will feature new Campus Living office space, various lounge areas, and a small marketplace.
