This is a Fee Proposal Exhibit B for a Commissioning services Request for Proposals issued by the State of Minnesota for the Mechanical Systems Analysis Improvement Project at the Minnesota State Retirement (MSR) Building located at 60 Empire Drive, Saint Paul, MN 55103. The project, identified as RECS Project No. 62SP0011, seeks commissioning of the HVAC system to conduct a performance assessment of existing building equipment and systems and provide recommendations for improvement. The scope of basic services includes HVAC System Evaluation, Building Envelope Evaluation, and preparation of a Final Commissioning Report. Proposing firms must submit complete fee information on Exhibit B, including all-inclusive fees for primary consultants with separate submission required for each subconsultant. The document does not specify response dates, site visits, bidders' meetings, or award timelines.

The fee proposal structure requires consultants to provide a total compensation amount broken into Professional Fees for Basic Services and Total Reimbursable Expenses, with all costs expressed as percentages of total fees. Reimbursable expenses are limited to specific items including printing, plans, predesign and report documents, electronic file delivery, postage, and long-distance telephone calls; most of these expenses must be included in the basic services fee rather than charged separately. Subconsultant markups are prohibited. All deliverables, including electronic files in dwg, doc, xls, and pdf formats, must be provided to the State's Project Manager, the user facility/agency, and the Facilities Management Division as specified.
