This document is a technical exhibit prepared for the State of Minnesota's Request for Proposals (RFP) regarding the RECS Project #78SH0060, which seeks qualified mechanical engineering consultants to conduct a comprehensive pre-design study for the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Shakopee (MCF-Shakopee) campus in Shakopee, Minnesota. The project involves evaluating the replacement of existing boiler and heating systems with Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) technology across multiple buildings. The MCF-Shakopee campus comprises two main facility groups: a heating plant serving seven buildings constructed in 1984 with a combined square footage of 131,582 square feet and equipped with two existing heating boilers and two existing domestic water systems, and an industry building serving four buildings constructed in 1992 with a combined square footage of 74,955 square feet, also equipped with two existing heating boilers and two existing domestic water systems. The specific exhibit presented (Exhibit A4) appears to be an architectural or engineering drawing illustrating the layout and configuration of these facilities, with total measured areas spanning approximately 72,934 square feet for the primary heating plant infrastructure and additional support buildings.

The pre-design study aims to determine the most feasible and cost-effective approach to reducing long-term utility costs, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, and meeting statutory sustainability requirements including B3, SB2030, and applicable provisions of the 2023 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and 2025 OBBBA. Addendum #1 has been posted and includes meeting attendees, questions and answers, and supporting documentation for prospective bidders. The RFP document itself contains additional details regarding scope requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission procedures for interested mechanical engineering consultants.
