Statements of Qualifications are due on August 14, 2024, and Fee Proposals are due on September 9, 2024. A pre-proposal site visit for finalist firms is scheduled for August 26, 2024. The preliminary construction cost limitation for the project is $5,400,000, and the Design-Builder will be required to use the Owner's project management software, e-Builder, for contract administration. The Owner is seeking firms with relevant experience in design-build projects of similar size, function, and complexity, as well as demonstrated capabilities in areas such as schedule management, cost control, procurement, and quality assurance.

Small and minority business participation is encouraged, and the selected firm must comply with the State's requirements for worker's compensation, insurance, and licensing. The contract value has not been explicitly stated, but the preliminary construction cost limitation for the project is $5,400,000. There are no incumbent vendors or current contractors mentioned, and the procurement is open to all qualified firms.
