Scope

This request for proposals is for commissioning services for the design and construction of the $25,000,000 Automotive Building at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College’s (RCCC) North Campus in Salisbury, NC. The project is envisioned to include the design and construction of one (1) new building.

This new building will house Classrooms, Labs, Offices, and Support Spaces necessary to support the growth of automotive programs allowing them to support the local automotive industry's workforce needs with state-of-the-art educational opportunities located on North Campus adjacent to the planned Technology Building. The plan calls for existing Automotive programs to relocate into spaces configured to support the latest in automotive technologies. Space Program includes expansion space to allow for expected increased enrollment resulting from dual enrollment with Rowan-Salisbury Schools planned CTE High School, new auto-body and paint booth capabilities, and a new Heavy Diesel Technology program. The building is envisioned to be a 45,000-square-foot, single-story building with high bay spaces with large access doors, adequate power, cooling, ventilation, and compressed air to facilitate the frequent upgrade of the evolving automotive industry. The building is planned to be located on an undeveloped parcel on North Campus in Salisbury, NC. It is envisioned to be a pre-engineered metal building with a front facade enhanced with metal and brick to integrate into the design aesthetic of North Campus. It will be a high-performing building. The project assumes the extension of all utilities (power, data, water, sewer) to the site from the Technology Building. It will have a large concrete paved working yard, and an associated 30-vehicle fenced storage area. This estimate assumes Planning funding in FY 2025 and Construction Funding in FY 2026.

Specific goals for the project are addressed in the Automotive Building Owners Project Requirements dated August 26, 2024 (Attachment A) and the Commissioning Agent Services Scope of Work dated 7/27/2022 (Attachment B). The scope of work for this selection will include providing commissioning services starting with conceptual design, schematic, design development, construction documents, construction administration, and project close-out. The project will be designed and administered under State Construction Office requirements.
