Mason Consolidated Schools Architectural Services

Paragraph 1:

This state and local contracting opportunity is for architectural services related to the Mason Consolidated Schools 2025 Bond Program in Erie, Michigan. The school district is seeking an architect to provide a range of services, including pre-design, schematic design, design development, construction document preparation, and construction administration. The selected architect will work in coordination with a Construction Manager-at-Risk on the renovation and construction projects funded by the bond program. The district expects the construction cost to be approximately $11 million and will select the architect based on criteria such as relevant experience, qualifications of key staff, ability to meet schedules, responsiveness, and the fee proposal. Proposals are due by March 29, 2024, and the district plans to select an architect by April 3, 2024 to begin work on April 22, 2024.

Paragraph 2:

The solicitation documents do not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The district will not necessarily select the lowest cost proposal, but will evaluate proposals based on the criteria outlined in the RFP. The incumbent architect or any current contractors are not identified. The RFP indicates the district will use a Construction Manager-at-Risk/Constructor delivery method, though the district reserves the right to modify the project delivery. The budget for the architectural services is not explicitly stated, but will be based on the agreed-upon scope of work and services provided.
