South Dakota State University is soliciting Statements of Interest from firms capable of providing professional architectural and engineering design services for the project referenced above. The project encompasses program verification, planning, design, construction documentation, bidding, and construction administration. The scope of the building modifications will include renovations to meet the needs of the West River Extension Services program (WRAC), as well as upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems; laboratory spaces; office areas; interior finishes; storage facilities; and the building foundation. Originally constructed in 2002 as a First Western Bank and later acquired by SDSU for use as the West River Extension Office, the building currently relies on eighteen residential HVAC units distributed across multiple mechanical rooms. While some units have been replaced, many are nearing the end of their useful life. The HVAC system requires modernization and upgrades to create a mechanical system that meets current commercial building code and ASHRAE standards. A central heating, air conditioning, and air handling system needs to be installed to ensure operational efficiency, adequate interior environmental control, maintainability, and longevity. Firms interested in providing professional services for this project should send a Statement of Interest that outlines their qualifications and experience demonstrating expertise related to this project. Statements of Interest should include at a minimum: - Specialized expertise, capabilities, and experience in this type of work or similar facilities; technical competence as demonstrated by the team's capabilities, and the proposed approach and methodology. (30%) - Resources available to perform the work, including any specialized services. (15%) - Record of past performance, including price and cost data from previous projects, quality of work, ability to meet schedules, cost control, and contract administration. (20%) - Ability and project history in handling special project constraints. (20%) - Proposed project management techniques. (5%) - Availability to project locale. (5%) - Familiarity with project locale. (5%) A technical review committee will score and select based on the criteria shown. The committee respectfully requests that Statements of Interest be limited to twenty pages or less.
