NDSU - UPSO Suite 150 Remodel

North Dakota State University is soliciting bids under Invitation for Bid SRC000494 for the remodel of the University Police & Safety Office Suite 150, with a mandatory site visit on November 17, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Central Time and bids due November 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time.

The scope covers all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, permits, and incidentals for a partial first-floor interior remodel of an auxiliary enterprises facility at 1523 12th Avenue North, Fargo, plus exterior modifications including an exterior ramp with railing. Trades include selective demolition, framing, drywall, doors, glazing, flooring, painting, casework, countertops, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical and low-voltage work. The electrical scope includes provisions for owner-supplied wall-mounted televisions and kitchen appliances, dedicated appliance circuits, emergency lighting, and an SOS button. Two alternates are priced separately: replacing an existing window with a bronze storefront window with operating awning sash, and removing an abandoned air handling unit with a catwalk railing extension.

Required milestones are notice to proceed upon award, substantial completion of interior work by March 5, 2027, final completion of interior work by March 12, 2027, and final completion of exterior work by May 14, 2027.

The cost proposal form requires separate pricing for demolition, construction, mechanical and plumbing, electrical and low-voltage, and general conditions including supervision, permits, overhead, and profit, along with both alternates. Bid costs must be comprehensive, covering equipment, materials, permits, testing, startup, disposal, freight, and subcontractors, and any omitted cost necessary to complete the project must be provided at no additional cost. Bidders must examine existing conditions, verify quantities and dimensions before submission, and raise discrepancies with NDSU before the bid due date.
