Location Details Site Address: 2101 14th Street City: Cloquet County: Carlton State/Province: MN Request Description Request Category Code: Architectural/Engineering Services (RFP/RFQ) Description: The Minnesota State Board of Trustees, on behalf of Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College hereafter referred to as the "Owner", is soliciting proposals from interested, qualified consultants, and intends to retain a professional consulting firm, hereafter referred to as the "A/E", to develop a new Comprehensive Facilities Plan and Utility Master Plan, hereafter referred to as the "CFP" and "UMP". This RFP is undertaken by Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College pursuant to the authority contained in provisions of Minnesota Statutes 136F.581 and other applicable laws. The Minnesota State Board of Trustees requires all colleges and universities within the system to maintain and regularly update their campus Comprehensive Facilities Plan (CFP) to ensure short, mid, and long-term planning of campus facilities. Campus development, siting of new buildings and structures, and renovation, repair and renewal of existing facilities shall be consistent with the most current Comprehensive Facilities Plan. With the current pressures placed upon higher education and its facilities, comprehensive facilities planning has become more critical than ever. The system's overarching goal for campus comprehensive facilities planning is to provide the campus a framework to align its financial, physical, and academic resources to best deliver higher education to its students. The colleges and universities of Minnesota State use their current Comprehensive Facilities Plans when: o Developing projects for a capital budget request o Evaluating and improving space utilization o Acquiring or selling real estate o Prioritizing repair and replacement needs, and o Identifying or removing obsolete space. The utility master planning process develops a road map to ensure that utility systems can reliably and efficiently serve the campus's current and future service needs. The process includes evaluating existing utility system conditions, understanding future service needs, evaluating options for meeting these future needs, and articulating an implementation plan that can guide capital investment projects. This process can help campuses: o determine the capability of existing utility systems to serve future needs o determine efficient and cost-effective ways to meet expected campus needs o determine the magnitude, cost, and timing of needed campus utility projects o develop institutional support for needed projects o create a capital investment plan for needed improvements to the campus utility infrastructure and build resilience to future events The scope of utility master planning efforts at Minnesota State colleges and universities will vary based on campus needs. Each Utility Master Plan will provide a broad overview of each service provided to the campus - including electrical power, heating, cooling, gas, domestic water, fire water, irrigation, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, compressed air, and standby/emergency generation systems. Additionally, each campus will identify systems that would benefit from an in-depth analysis.
