1. ARCHITECT SERVICES, PROFESSIONAL This Request for Proposals provides the prospective professional service contractor (Professional) with information to enable preparation of a professional services proposal for Hall of Justice, Repair / Replace Retaining Wall Railings, Waterproof Ramp and Repair Building Entrance, Lansing, Michigan. The service to be completed should encompass as a minimum the following phase(s) from the Department of Technology, Management and Budget's (DTMB's) Sample Standard Contract for Professional Services: Phase - 100 Study 500 Final Design Phase 100 and 500 design services to correct water infiltration issues in the Hall of Justice east ramp, along with repairs to the east main building entrance, the North and South colonnade entrances and to the dock retaining walls and the dock stormwater hatch. The concrete foundations and ramp ceiling decks are failing in the east ramp causing deterioration of the ceiling system. The pavers leading to the main entrance are set in a sand bed above the ramp and the water is not draining causing leaks into the ramp and causing the pavers to heave which leads to trip hazards. Also, several of the pavers are in poor shape and deteriorating due to winter salting and water damage. The area has known rainwater main drain and general drainage issues that needs to be corrected too. Alternative options to the current paver system should be considered during design that might require less maintenance and provided improved durability to the walkways. Several areas have been closed off to keep pedestrians out of the paver areas due to trip hazards. The project also calls for repairs or replacement of the retaining walls and railings due to freeze thaws during Michigan winters that is causing the concrete to fail at the base of the posts making them unstable. The retaining wall concrete is crumbling and failing to the ground creating a safety hazard for pedestrians and vehicles.
