Renovate Plant Science Building

The State University Construction Fund is seeking Statements of Qualifications from consultants to provide design and construction contract administration services for renovations to the Plant Science Building at the New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University.

This project is for phased renovation of the Plant Science Building, originally constructed in 1930. Design services will include programming of surge spaces beyond this building, schematic design for the entire building and surrounding site work, followed by construction documents and administration for the first phase of construction. Schematic phase services will also include a construction phasing plan. It is anticipated that the project will continue through subsequent design phases, and may include multiple bid packages, dependent on the initial analysis and availability of funding.

Unless otherwise specifically agreed to in writing by the Fund, services identified through the Schematic Phase shall be completed. Consultant will not be authorized to receive any compensation for phase services, other than those specifically or as may be further authorized by the Fund through a Phase Approval Letter.

Renovations will include hazardous materials abatement, reconfiguration of space, replacement of finishes, upgrades for ADA access, envelope upgrades for energy conservation, and replacement of mechanical, electrical, plumbing & fire protection systems. The building will be partially occupied during construction.

Submissions should articulate the design team's significant experience with phased renovations of collegiate and similar institutional science buildings, as well as a track record of managing complete design services for such projects in a thorough, cost-conscious and expeditious manner.

The estimated construction value is $60,000,000 - $69,000,000
