The Office of the Illinois State Treasurer ("Treasurer") is issuing this Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") to professional firms to provide architectural and engineering design services ("Services") for an underground access area connected to an office building located at One East Old State Capitol Plaza, Springfield, Illinois ("Building"). Professional firms that submit their qualifications ("Respondents") must submit their qualifications. The Treasurer is seeking firms whose combination of experience and expertise will ensure professional, timely, and cost-effective services. The Treasurer intends to select the best suited, responsible, and responsive Respondent ("Contractor") for this project. The successful Respondent shall enter into a contract with the Treasurer ("Agreement") for an initial term of ten (10) months. Upon expiration of this term, the Treasurer may elect to extend the Agreement for a period agreed upon by the parties. BACKGROUND In late 2019, the Treasurer acquired the Building and has since transitioned most of its Springfield operations there. The basement of the Building is connected to a small underground access area ("Access Area"), which is then connected to an underground tunnel leading underneath Sixth Street into a parking garage underneath the Old State Capitol in Springfield. Water continues to leak into the Access Area, causing continuing damage. As a result, the Access Area requires repair as well as sufficient waterproofing to prevent future damage. The Treasurer owns a portion of the Access Area, and leases the remainder Access Area from the City of Springfield, and the Treasurer has agreed to conduct all repairs outlined herein ("Project"). A map of the Access Area is included within Exhibit C. Exhibit C is a preliminary assessment of the Access Area. For the reasons outlined within Exhibit B, the Chief Procurement Officer for the Treasurer ("CPO") has determined it is it is in the best interest of the Treasurer that Hanson Professional Services, Inc. ("Hanson") be authorized to submit a response to this RFQ. Respondents must be an architect/engineering firm prequalified with the Illinois Capital Development Board ("CDB"). This will be a prevailing wage project covered by a project labor agreement pursuant to the Project Labor Agreements
