Additionally, the design scope must include comprehensive civil and site drawings for exterior improvements, featuring outdoor rinsing stations with dedicated utility connections, a new perimeter security fence, site grading with heavy-use gravel surfacing, and a permanent outdoor break area pavilion.

Following the successful delivery and approval of the final 100% design-bid-build package, the A/E firm shall transition to providing comprehensive Construction Administration (CA) services to support the government throughout the construction phase.

During this construction phase, the designer shall act as the government's technical representative to oversee the General Contractor's (GC) execution of the work. The A/E's CA responsibilities shall include reviewing and approving contractor submittals, answering Requests for Information (RFIs), conducting periodic on-site quality assurance inspections to verify compliance with the approved design plans, and performing a final inspection to facilitate project commissioning and closeout.

This project is contingent upon receipt of State funds. Initial design funds are fully funded. These funds will support 100% design, through Construction Documents (CD).

Funding for Bidding, Construction Administration, and Closeout is budgeted from the 2025-2027 Biennium.
