A&E Services, Act of Nature Roof Damages-Ft Meade Bldg 68

The South Dakota Department of the Military is seeking Statements of Interest (SOI) from qualified Architecture/Engineering (A/E) firms to provide professional services for a roof replacement project at Fort Meade Building 68. The project involves replacing approximately 30,000 square feet of roofing, which includes four flat roof sections and a barrel roof section that recently sustained storm damage. The selected firm will be responsible for site investigative work, design development, and bidding services, with specific deliverables including construction plans and specifications detailing the full removal of existing roofing systems and installation of a new fully adhered EPDM roofing system. Evaluation of submissions will be conducted by a technical review committee using ten criteria totaling 100 points, with the highest weightings given to availability to the project locale (20 points) and familiarity with the project facility (20 points). Interested firms must submit an electronic copy via email to Cullen.Jorgensen@state.sd.us or Mark.Koepke@state.sd.us no later than 4:00 PM Mountain Time on July 23, 2025, with submissions limited to 20 pages or less.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The estimated construction cost for the project is $872,000, though this is subject to change based on available funding. The project timeline indicates that the selected A/E firm should have the project designed and ready for bid advertisement no later than January 2026. Additional services such as construction administration and inspection will be negotiated separately if the project proceeds to the construction phase. The SOI document suggests that firms will be evaluated on multiple factors including project approach, team expertise, project management techniques, quality assurance processes, and past performance. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement appears to be open to qualified A/E firms with experience in roofing replacement and storm damage restoration for military facilities.
