Part I - Introduction Wayne State University ("WSU") invites Construction Managers ("Responders"), to submit Statements of Qualifications ("SOQ") in accordance with the requirements of this Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") for Construction Management Services for the Law School Classroom Building. Your company is invited to participate in the RFQ process to provide full design services for the New Wayne State University Law School Classroom Building. For nearly one hundred years, Wayne Law has developed topflight legal minds who have profoundly impacted Detroit, the state of Michigan, and beyond. As Wayne Law approaches its centennial, its momentum is stronger than at any time in its history. In just the last seven years the law school has risen spectacularly in the national rankings, from No. 100 to No. 55. Pathbreaking new programs are expanding its reach, serving Detroit in previously unconceived ways, and catapulting the school to national recognition. Due to the dramatic success of new undergraduate and graduate programs, the total enrollment is expected to double within five to ten years. WSU now has a unique and powerful opportunity to build a new, world-class facility in Detroit that will propel Wayne Law, accommodate the school's expected growth, and enhance its ability to serve students, faculty, and the community. The new building will replace an outmoded and far smaller classroom building from 1966. It will contain classroom, lecture, student and faculty support, and collaboration spaces and will link what now feel like disparate separate buildings in the law complex into a coherent whole. The owner aims to execute this project as efficiently as possible. The project will utilize Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) principles and incorporate LEAN design, engineering, and construction techniques to achieve efficient design and construction processes. The total Construction Cost Limitation is $33,000,000. Procurement of a Design Professional is currently ongoing, and close coordination is expected between the Design Professional and the CM. This is a two-step procurement. Upon review and evaluation of the SOQs received, WSU will select a shortlist of qualified Respondents who will receive the Request for Proposal ("RFP"). Respondents who were not shortlisted will be notified. The RFP will contain additional information about the project. The University will consider partnerships or joint ventures between local and national/international firms, to the extent the team can provide additional expertise, value, ideas, or similar benefits to the project. Part II - CM Services Overview The Owner intends to retain the Construction Manager for all phases of design and construction. Although the full CM scope and contract will be provided within the RFP, the scope is generally summarized below.
