SUNY Stony Brook is soliciting qualifications from design consultants to provide full architectural and engineering design services for a Nursing Simulation Center in Stony Brook, New York under RFQ 26/27-017MC, with qualifications due September 23, 2026 and questions due September 1, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. The procurement establishes contracting goals of 16% MBE, 14% WBE, and 3% SDVOB participation.

The scope encompasses complete architectural, structural, MEP, fire protection, medical gas/vacuum, lighting, acoustical, IT/AV, security, code compliance, accessibility, and stakeholder coordination services necessary to produce bid-ready construction documents. Design services span five phases: Program, Schematic Design, Design Manual, Construction Documents, and Bid Documents and Bid Phase Services, followed by Construction Administration. The project requires field observations at not less than twice monthly, submittal review within 15 working days, and post-construction inspections. The prime consultant team must demonstrate direct experience in medical and nursing education facility design and engage a qualified AV/IT subconsultant with specific experience in healthcare and simulation laboratory design. The facility will be located in an occupied academic building requiring comprehensive phasing to maintain continuous operations throughout construction.

The estimated program budget is $20 million, inclusive of all design fees, construction costs, and equipment. Pricing shall be submitted as a single, fixed, all-inclusive amount covering all labor, supervision, coordination, travel, and administrative costs. Design duration is estimated at 12 months, with an anticipated 18-month construction period following design completion. No identical or substantially similar contract has been awarded within the past five years. Vendors must register through the Jaggaer web-based supplier portal to access bid documents.
