Renovation of an educational facility in Snoqualmie, Washington. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

DCYF - Echo Glen Children's Center Upper Campus Boiler Replacement - Department of Children Youth & Families. See Public Files for complete solicitation information. Description of Facility - DCYF - Echo Glen Children's Center Upper Campus Boiler Replacement Phase 1 Echo Glen Children's Center (EGCC) in Snoqualmie is a medium/maximum security facility built in the mid 1960's with a few tenant improvements since initial installation. EGCC consists of 47 buildings located on a 65-acre site. Currently the Commissary, Administration, Health & Social Services, Infirmary, Library, and Recreation buildings are all heated by a central plant hot water system, consisting of (2) 240 BHP gas fire tube boilers and system pumps located in the Commissary Building basement mechanical room. Piping is distributed to each building via utilidors or crawl spaces. A central plant tank mounted heat exchanger provides domestic hot water to seven (7) buildings. An 80-ton air cooled chiller located outside the Commissary Building provides chilled water to the Commissary, Administration, Health & Social Services, and Infirmary buildings with pumps located in the Commissary basement mechanical room. Chilled water piping is routed parallel to the heating water piping. Additionally, there is a 25 BPH steam boiler that serves cooking equipment in the kitchen. The central plant provides heating only to the Library and Recreation Buildings. Hot and chilled water is provided to the Commissary, Administration, Health & Social Services, and Infirmary Buildings serving constant volume air handling units with preheat and cooling coils and downstream duct mounted zone heating coils. Air is distributed through a ducted air system via risers to the crawlspace where it is then branched off to individual floor diffusers. Controls were recently upgraded with Alerton DDC controls. Scope of Work This Request for Qualifications is for the purpose of selecting an Architectural/Engineering Consulting Team for design and construction services for the Echo Glen Children's Center Upper Campus Boiler Replacement project located at 33010 SE 99th Street, Snoqualmie, WA. This scope of work includes schematic design, design development, construction documents, permitting, bidding, construction administration and project closeout. A pre-design study and associate cost estimates was completed to assist in securing funding for this project. Four (4) options were presented and DCYF selected the fourth option. o Option 1: Replace Gas-Fired Boilers / Chiller include Variable Air Volume (VAV) Air Handling Units (AHU) o Option 2: Heat Pump (HP) Central Plant with Variable Air Volume (VAV) Air Handling Units (AHU) o Option 3: Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) / Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) with Boiler o Option 4: Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) / Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) with Heat Pump(HP) This facility operates 24/7 making if difficult to fully shutdown systems for an extended period. Since the central plant is being removed and the buildings will operate independently, the system can be installed in each building to ease the impact for down time. A suggested phasing plan is: Phase 1 - Electrical Health & Social Services Building: Address / modify electrical distribution panels Demo existing air handlers and hydronic equipment Install new VRF & DOAS systems & connect new units to existing DDC control system. Connect new equipment to existing electrical distribution panels Phase 2 - Administration Building: Demo existing air handlers and hydronic equipment Install new VRF and DOAS systems and connect new units to existing DDC control system. Connect new equipment to existing or new electrical distribution panel Phase 3 - Infirmary Building: Demo existing air handlers and hydronic equipment Install new VRF and DOAS systems and connect new units to existing DDC control system. Connect new equipment to existing or new electrical distribution panel Phase 4 - Commissary Building: Demo existing air handlers and hydronic equipment Install new VRF and DOAS systems and connect new units to existing DDC control system Connect new equipment to existing or new electrical distribution panel Demo existing chiller, hydronic boilers, and domestic water boiler Install air to water heat pump and connect to existing DDC control system Connect new hydronic hot water piping to existing system serving Library and Recreation Buildings Connect new equipment to existing or new electrical distribution panel The Maximum Allowable Construction Cost (MACC) for this project is $5.33 million. The project received Legislative approval for Pre-Design Services in the 2025-2027 biennium. Project Goals o Provide a higher efficient system with a more effective life cycle cost o Building performance targets ventilation, temperature control, energy use and water use o Improved temperature control and zoning capacities with flexibility for future changes o Buildings will operate independently so a system failure will impact only one building o Plan to shift away from natural gas use and toward electric heat-pump based systems o Meets the intent of the WSEC and the State desire for electrification and reducing greenhouse gas emissions 10% Minority Owned Business certified by the Washington State Office of Minority and Women Business Enterprises 6%, Women Owned Business certified by the Washington State Office of Minority and Women Business Enterprises 5% Veteran Owned Business certified by the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs 5% Washington Small Businesses self-identified in the Washington Electronic Business Solution Agreement(s) Executed Late November 2025 September 18, 2025 - Informational Meeting • October 1, 2025 – Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) Due by 2pm • October 16, 2025 – Short listed firms selected • October 21, 2025 – Short listed firms notified • October 30, 2025 – In-person Interviews of top shortlisted firms • November 11, 2025 – Final firm selected • November 25, 2025 – Consultant Agreement executed • November 2025 – Process Starts This project needs to reach substantial completion by June 30, 2027.
