This is Addendum #1 to a Request for Proposal issued by the Minnesota Department of Administration's Real Estate and Construction Services (RECS) for pre-design architectural services related to the expansion of Minnesota Correctional Facility-Faribault. The addendum revises key RFP dates and identifies mandatory meeting attendees. Questions must be submitted by August 12, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CT (revised from August 17), with answers to be provided by August 19, 2026 by 3:00 p.m. CT (revised from August 17). RFP responses are due August 31, 2026 by 12:00 Noon CT. A mandatory meeting was held on August 10, 2026, attended by twelve firms: DLR Group, Rider Levett Buchnall, Wold Architects & Engineers, HDR, Ericksen Ellison & Associates, Klein McCarthy Architects, Venture, IMEG, TWP Architects, JLG Architects, Auromira Architects, and BKV Group. The contract term runs from September 10, 2026 through September 9, 2028, with an option for three-year extensions at the state's discretion.

The addendum directs respondents to access supporting documents, including a consolidation study completed by TWP Architects and floor plan drawings, through a shared file link. These documents are essential for developing comprehensive pre-design proposals that address expansion options for the K building segregation unit or construction of a new building to increase campus capacity. The pre-design scope encompasses multiple facility components and requires deliverables including a pre-design report and construction cost estimate due by June 1, 2027 to meet bonding session deadlines. Evaluation criteria are weighted toward key personnel and specialists (20 points), work samples demonstrating qualifications (20 points), approach and methodology (20 points), unique qualifications (10 points), and fee proposal (30 points).
