SLCC AAB 101 Office Remodel A&E services RFSQ

Salt Lake Community College is requesting qualifications for architectural and engineering services for the AAB 101 Office Remodel project at the Taylorsville Redwood Road Campus, with statement-of-qualifications submissions due July 30, 2026, and questions due July 23, 2026.

The scope involves reconfiguring an existing office suite to accommodate 45 to 50 staff members (an increase from 35) through a mix of open office space, hot-desking, hoteling space, breakout rooms, and small conference/collaboration rooms. The A/E scope includes architectural and engineering design, as-built verification, code approval coordination with Building Code Solutions and the State Fire Marshal, construction administration, and communication and risk management planning. Design is to begin immediately following contract award, with construction anticipated to commence in February 2027. Firms must be Utah-licensed; subconsultants must also meet state licensure requirements. Firms must demonstrate at least three past performance ratings from DFCM projects completed in the previous five years or provide equivalent non-DFCM references as the prime contractor.

The project budget is $120,000. The contract will be structured as a lump-sum fee divided into phases: Schematic Design (15%), Design Development (20%), Construction Documents (40%), Bidding (5%), and Construction Closeout/Warranty Period (20%).

Selection uses a Value Based Selection system with 200 total points: Strength of Team (80 points), Project Management Approach (120 points), and Project Specific Experience. SLCC will negotiate the final contract fee with the highest-ranked firm following selection by the evaluation committee, with provisions to negotiate with subsequent-ranked firms if necessary. Short-listing by the selection committee is anticipated by August 11, 2026, with finalists announced by August 12, 2026.

Submissions are due via the U3P electronic system. The Professional Services and Design Agreement forms will be required upon completion of negotiations and fee agreement. Other USHE member institutions may elect to purchase off the resulting contract through a Participating Addendum or direct contract with the awarded vendor.
