RFP FP-2024-08 North & Daugherty Halls Envelope

Eastern Oregon University (EOU) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) #FP-2024-08 for a design-build contract to replace the building envelopes of North and Daugherty Halls, two student dormitories located on the EOU campus in Union County, Oregon. The procurement seeks a comprehensive design-build team to provide programming, design, and construction services focused on replacing existing siding and windows with new exterior-insulated, water-managed cladding systems and thermally broken aluminum windows. The project aims to address widespread building envelope deterioration and water intrusion issues identified in a building enclosure condition assessment. Evaluation criteria will include the proposing team's experience, management approach, cost controls, and project execution capabilities. The procurement timeline includes a mandatory site visit on July 30, 2024, proposal submissions due by August 20, 2024, finalist presentations on October 7, 2024, and a planned contract execution by November 8, 2024. The selection process is qualifications-based, with CB Construction and Abbott Construction previously identified as short-listed finalists. The project requires a collaborative design-build team capable of comprehensive building envelope rehabilitation.

The total Design-Build Contract (DBC) budget is $2.5 million, to be expended over three fiscal years, with the project scheduled for final completion by September 11, 2026. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly noted in the available documentation. CB Construction has been identified as the apparent successful proposer in the Notice of Intent to Award. The procurement allows for proposer protests to be submitted by October 23, 2024, if any respondent believes they were improperly aggrieved by the award decision. The project will require detailed site investigations, programming, pre-design services, construction document development, permitting, construction administration, and construction activities. Proposing teams will need to demonstrate expertise in building envelope rehabilitation, with a focus on improving long-term performance and durability of student housing facilities. The contract will be executed through Eastern Oregon University's Facilities & Planning Department, with the project located in Umatilla County.
