Arizona Board of Regents ("ABOR"), for and on behalf of Northern Arizona University ("Owner" or "University"), requests interested contractors to submit, in writing, their qualifications to provide Mechanical and Controls services as a Northern Arizona University designated Job Order Contractor - NAU Project #11.160.241. This solicitation follows the methodology prescribed by Section 3-804 of the University Procurement Code. This Job Order Contract procurement is a two (2) step process. The first step is this Request For Qualifications ("RFQ"). The second step for shortlisted firms will be a Request For Proposal ("RFP"). Upon completion of the two-step procurement, the Owner intends to award multiple Job Order Contracts for the provision of Mechanical and Controls Services. Potential Offerors are advised that the Owner does not guarantee that any minimum amount of work will be authorized under any contract resulting from this solicitation. The submitting Offeror shall be responsible for furnishing all labor, materials, transportation and services required for Mechanical and Controls work on construction projects less than four million dollars ($4,000,000.00) in construction cost, to be done under Job Order Contracts on the Northern Arizona University Flagstaff campus and other Northern Arizona University sites located within the State, in accordance with plans and specifications to be issued on a project by project basis. Northern Arizona University is located on a volcanic plateau at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountains in Arizona. The 829-acre main campus is located in Flagstaff, Arizona, with another 143 undeveloped acres in the region. Additionally, in 2021, NAU was gifted the historic Hat Ranch, a 300-acre property outside of Williams. Flagstaff is a four-season city located at an elevation of 7,000 feet. Because the campus is at an elevation of 7000 feet, the climate is vigorous, with cold winters and mild summers. Diurnal temperature changes are considerable, resulting in average first and last occurrences of 32o F. in September and June. Temperature extremes range from -32o F. to 97o F., with average minimums in January of 14o F. The mountain campus includes approximately 170 buildings with over 6 million square feet, including buildings in the Arizona Normal School Historic District which exceeds 90 years of age.
