The State of Minnesota's Real Estate and Construction Services (RECS) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for architectural and civil engineering services to conduct a comprehensive study and pre-design project at the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Red Wing (MCF-Red Wing) located in Goodhue County. The specific scope involves evaluating and developing repair strategies for multiple facility components, including the tunnel roof, greenhouse office building envelope, LaSalle entrance sidewalk, retaining walls, French drains, and concrete stairwells in Buildings #6 and #10. Key deliverables include a detailed assessment of required services and estimated repair costs for these infrastructure elements. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for June 11, 2024, with proposals due on June 25, 2024. The evaluation criteria will focus on assigned key personnel, relevant qualifications, work experience, approach and methodology, unique qualifications, and the fee proposal. The anticipated contract term is from July 8, 2024, to July 7, 2026, with a potential extension option for an additional three years. Respondents must submit comprehensive documentation, including a fee proposal, qualifications proposal, workforce certification, and various required exhibits.

The State of Minnesota offers potential preference opportunities for Targeted Group (TG) and Economically Disadvantaged (ED) businesses, which may receive a 12% preference in the evaluation process. Veteran-owned small businesses may also be eligible for similar preferential treatment. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the project involves professional services for a state correctional facility infrastructure study and pre-design. Respondents must be registered as either a bidder or supplier to participate in the solicitation. The State reserves the right to cancel the procurement if deemed in its best interest. Prospective consultants must provide a Certificate of Insurance, Affidavit of Non-Collusion, and Workforce Certificate, and disclose any foreign outsourcing arrangements. The project (RECS Project #78RW0050) requires comprehensive expertise in architectural and civil engineering, with a focus on facility repair and infrastructure assessment for a correctional facility environment.
