Design Services: Shineman& Swetman Water Infiltration

The State University of New York at Oswego is requesting qualifications for design services related to water infiltration mitigation at two campus buildings — Shineman (a 5-story STEM facility) and Swetman (a 2-story gymnasium) — under RFQ 100326, with qualifications due January 5, 2026. Addendum 1 has been issued and must be acknowledged with submission. MWBE and SDVOB participation goals apply: 16% MBE, 14% WBE, and 6% SDVOB.

The scope encompasses a design study to assess water infiltration, evaluate drainage systems, analyze existing mechanical and electrical components, and develop remediation recommendations with rough order of magnitude costs. The consultant will conduct site visits, field verification, and structural analysis, then provide a recommended scope and project schedule. Full design services include Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documents phases with construction cost estimates at each stage, construction administration, submittal and RFI processing, and closeout document review. A facility tour and review of existing drawings may be arranged by contacting Richard Merritt at 315-312-2208.

The estimated construction budget is approximately $650,000; the basic design fee will be negotiated following selection. The contract is structured as a Lump Sum agreement. Contract award is anticipated in March 2026, with construction completion projected for February 2027. The selected consultant must provide Certificates of Insurance with liability limits of no less than $2 million per claim and maintain Workers' Compensation and Disability Benefits coverage. No cost proposals are requested at this stage. Submissions must include a Subconsultant Staffing List with MWBE and SDVOB status, an EEO policy statement, and required compliance certifications. Qualifications must be submitted in three paper copies (one with original signatures) and one electronic copy on flash drive to SUNY Oswego Purchasing Office, 402 Culkin Hall, Oswego, NY 13126. No pre-bid meeting is scheduled.
