REQUEST FOR STATEMENTS OF INTEREST

Date: January 12, 2026

RE: Binneweis Hall Renovations South Dakota State University Brookings, SD 57006

OSE# R0326—28X

South Dakota State University is soliciting Statements of Interest from firms capable of providing professional architectural and engineering design services for the project referenced above. The design services for this project encompass program verification, planning, design, construction documentation, bidding, and construction administration. The renovation will upgrade building systems to meet current building codes, industry standards, campus design standards, and the contemporary needs of our students. Programmatic space changes will focus on developing shared common spaces and small study spaces while maintaining high quality private living areas that meet both current and future resident demands. Bathroom facilities will be upgraded to meet the changing needs of students and regulatory requirements. Occupant health and comfort will also be addressed with upgrades to the building heating, air conditioning, and ventilation systems. Daylight and views will be prioritized in common spaces to create comfortable and welcoming interior spaces. Additional service space will be provided to accommodate vertical circulation and required mechanical equipment.

SDSU anticipates this project will be accomplished from January 2026 to August 2028. The university will consider closing the building while construction is in progress to facilitate construction, minimize cost, reduce potential construction activity conflicts, and promote a better student experience. The schedule of the project will be developed to allow for adequate time for furniture installation over the summer with a goal to re-occupy the facility in the fall semester of 2028. The University anticipates a design, bid, build delivery method for this project.

Firms interested in providing professional services for this project should send a Statement of Interest that outlines their qualifications and experience demonstrating expertise related to this project. Statements of Interest should include at a minimum:

• Specialized expertise, capabilities, and experience in this type of work or similar facilities;

technical competence as demonstrated by the team's capabilities, and the proposed approach and methodology. (30%)

• Resources available to perform the work, including any specialized services. (15%)
