Proposing firms must provide in-house architectural capabilities and offer civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering services, with all key personnel registered in North Dakota and familiar with LEED certification. The procurement will be evaluated using a 100-point scale, with 80 points allocated to the technical proposal (40 points for scope of work strategy and 40 points for experience and qualifications) and 20 points for the cost proposal. Design work is scheduled to begin on November 12, 2025, with 120 calendar days allowed for completing the conceptual (35%) plans and renderings. The solicitation closes on October 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time, with an anticipated contract start date of November 12, 2025.
