A&E Services, Binneweis Hall Renovations-SDSU

South Dakota State University is seeking Statements of Interest from architectural and engineering firms to provide professional design services for the Binneweis Hall Renovations project. The comprehensive scope includes program verification, planning, design, construction documentation, bidding, and construction administration. Key project objectives involve upgrading building systems to meet current building codes and campus design standards, developing shared common spaces and study areas, modernizing bathroom facilities, and improving heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The project aims to enhance occupant health and comfort while creating welcoming interior spaces with prioritized daylight and views. Statements of Interest must be submitted electronically by 3:00 PM on February 5th, 2026, to Project Manager Cory Coners at cory.coners@sdstate.edu. The technical review committee will evaluate submissions using a weighted criteria system: specialized expertise and technical competence (30%), available resources and specialized services (15%), past performance (20%), ability to handle project constraints (20%), project management techniques (5%), availability to project locale (5%), and familiarity with project locale (5%). The anticipated project timeline spans from January 2026 through August 2028, with construction potentially occurring during a building closure and furniture installation scheduled for summer 2028.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were mentioned in the procurement documents. The project will utilize a design, bid, build delivery method, with facility reoccupancy targeted for the fall semester of 2028. While the documents do not specify an exact budget or award value, the comprehensive renovation suggests a significant investment in upgrading the residential hall's infrastructure and student living spaces. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the provided materials. The project appears to be a comprehensive overhaul of Binneweis Hall, focusing on modernizing the facility to meet contemporary student needs and regulatory requirements. Firms interested in additional project information are encouraged to contact Cory Coners directly using the provided contact details. The submission is limited to twenty pages, though this is presented as a request rather than a strict requirement.
