Dane County Elections Center / Clerks Office Facility Remodel - CXP

Dane County is seeking a Commissioning Provider (CxP) for the Elections Center / Clerks Office Facility Remodel project located at the former Ale Asylum facility at 2002 Pankratz Street in Madison, Wisconsin. The procurement involves professional commissioning services for a 45,000 square foot building renovation, with approximately 30,000 square feet designated as warehouse space. The selected Commissioning Provider will function as an independent third-party consultant responsible for system start-up, functional performance testing, project closeout, and training activities. Key deliverables include comprehensive systems verification, performance testing, and supporting the design team from Wold Architects and Engineers throughout the construction phase. The proposal submission deadline is August 28, 2025, with the project currently in the design phase and preparation for competitive bidding for a General Contractor. The CxP will work closely with Dane County Public Works and collaborate with the design team to ensure proper system integration across office, warehouse, storage, printing, life safety, lighting, controls, and security systems.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, the project will proceed through a competitive bidding process with construction and commissioning phases contingent upon final budget authority. The project involves converting an existing 2011-built facility into a centralized Elections Center, which suggests potential opportunities for local or regional vendors. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documentation. The contract will require the Commissioning Provider to have expertise in systems verification, functional performance testing, and comprehensive project closeout support. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed, the substantial scope of renovating a 45,000 square foot facility suggests a significant potential contract value. The project's complexity and requirement for specialized commissioning services indicate that respondents will need demonstrated experience in comprehensive facility systems integration and performance testing.
