ECU JoynerStarbucksRelocation-29139-CB.pdf

This is a project description document for East Carolina University (ECU) in North Carolina detailing the relocation of the Joyner Starbucks facility. The project involves relocating the existing Starbucks operation within the Joyner Library building to a new location to improve accessibility and operational efficiency. The scope of work encompasses site preparation, construction, equipment installation, and system integration necessary to establish the new Starbucks service area. The project requires coordination with ECU facilities management and adherence to university standards for food service operations. Specific timelines for project completion, bidding procedures, and contractor qualifications are outlined to ensure successful execution of the relocation while maintaining minimal disruption to library operations and student services.

The project funding is sourced through ECU's capital improvement budget, with costs allocated from the university's facilities and operations funds. The contract will be awarded to the qualified bidder whose proposal best meets the university's criteria for cost, experience, and project management capability. Contractors must demonstrate experience with similar higher education food service relocations and maintain appropriate licensing and insurance requirements. The project timeline includes specific milestones for design approval, construction phases, equipment installation, and final commissioning prior to reopening the relocated facility for student and university community use.
