L09162 Construct Metal Building

The State University of New York at Oneonta is requesting qualifications from design firms or teams for design and construction administration of an approximately 3,200 square-foot metal building, with qualifications due October 20, 2026 at 4:00 PM EST. SUNY Oneonta has established MWBE participation goals of 30% overall (16% MBE, 14% WBE) and a 6% SDVOB goal.

The scope includes site design with survey, foundation and structural design, MEP systems, and construction administration. The building will be a heated and insulated finished shell with basic MEP components including a toilet room, designed to accommodate future interior fit-out. Deliverables span schematic phase with cost estimate, construction drawings, pre-bid submission with construction cost estimate, and bid assistance and contract administration.

The construction budget is $300,000; design fees are to be negotiated with the selected consultant after award. No cost proposals should be submitted with qualifications. The anticipated design award is late 2026, with construction award anticipated in summer 2027 and completion expected in spring 2028.

Applicants must provide subconsultant staffing lists documenting MWBE and SDVOB participation and submit certifications regarding sexual harassment prevention policies, gender-based violence workplace policies, and state finance law compliance. Required insurance includes general liability of at least $2,000,000 per claim, workers' compensation coverage, and disability benefits coverage. No pre-bid meeting is scheduled. Submissions in PDF format go to FacilitiesContractAdmin@oneonta.edu. No identical or substantially similar contract has been awarded within the past five years.
