J-439-CXA GHC - Lakeview Nursing & Dental Hygiene Renovation

The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), on behalf of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, is seeking qualified firms to provide building commissioning services for the Lakeview Nursing and Dental Hygiene Renovation project at Georgia Highlands College in Rome, Georgia. The project involves renovating approximately 27,166 gross square feet of the Lakeview Building to create nursing and dental hygiene simulation labs, skills labs, and a public-facing dental hygiene clinic. Commissioning services will cover mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and building envelope systems across design, construction, and warranty phases. The procurement will follow a one-step qualifications-based selection process, with firms evaluated on three key criteria: stability (25%), experience and qualifications (45%), and suitability (30%). Statements of Qualifications are due February 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with all questions required to be submitted by January 30, 2025. The commissioning services are anticipated to commence during the first quarter of 2025, with the project utilizing a construction manager at-risk (CM/GC) delivery method.

The project requires compliance with the Energy Efficiency & Sustainable Construction Act of 2008 and must achieve Georgia Peach certification. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified commissioning firms that can demonstrate the required expertise and capabilities. The preliminary Stated Cost Limitation (SCL) for construction is estimated at $8,300,000, though this may be subject to revision based on programmatic requirements or funding availability. The highest-ranked firm will enter into contract negotiations for a GSFIC Building Commissioning Services Agreement. The project aims to completely relocate nursing and dental hygiene programs from Heritage Hall to the Floyd Campus, creating enhanced educational facilities with state-of-the-art simulation and clinical spaces. Potential respondents should carefully review the Request for Qualifications (RFQ No. J-439-CxA) to ensure full understanding of the project requirements and evaluation process.
