About this file

The document is a presentation for Colorado Mesa University's (CMU) Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a Campus Energy Infrastructure project, involving the university's procurement team and potential consultant partners. The university is seeking developers, architects, and engineers to expand the existing campus heating and cooling geo-exchange system, integrate it into campus facilities, and construct additional interconnected facilities in the planned Formation District. The project will be implemented in phases, with work packages released through Integrated Project Delivery (IPD-DBLS-RFP) method. Key dates include a pre-submittal conference on July 14, 2023, RFQ submissions due by July 31, 2023 at 11:00 am, interviews on August 14, 2023, and anticipated contract approval on August 25, 2023.

The project aims to maximize energy efficiency and financial incentives, with a focus on utilizing tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The scope includes initial design, construction budgeting, financial modeling, lifecycle planning, and tax credit analysis. Potential projects involve extending the geo-exchange central loop to multiple campus buildings, drilling new well fields, and connecting 17 existing buildings totaling 545,865 square feet to the central system. The university has allocated a Capital Construction Fund amount of $6,000,000 and plans to develop a five-story, 45,000 square foot mixed-use facility with retail on the first floor and housing on the upper floors. Future plans also include potential photovoltaic solar projects both on and off-site.
