West Campus Quad Design Services

The State University of New York at Oswego is requesting qualifications for design consulting services on the West Campus Quad renovation program study, with qualifications due June 9, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. SUNY has established contracting goals of 30 percent overall MWBE participation (15 percent MBE and 15 percent WBE) and 6 percent SDVOB participation.

The scope encompasses site analysis, stakeholder engagement through focus groups and surveys, three conceptual design frameworks with cost estimates, and a final report with findings and recommendations for the quad serving approximately 1,100 students in four residence halls. The quad, constructed in the late 1960s, has undergone no documented renovations. Submitting firms must identify subconsultant staffing and MWBE participation, provide proof of insurance with limits of at least $2 million per claim, and certify compliance with sexual harassment prevention policies, procurement lobbying restrictions, and non-discrimination requirements under New York State and Federal law.

The estimated construction budget for the quad renovation is $1.5 million; the basic design fee will be negotiated with the selected consultant. No cost proposals are submitted with qualifications; cost proposals will be requested only after consultant selection. The contract will be structured as a lump sum agreement incorporating SUNY's standard consultant contract terms.

The selection committee will rank proposals and create a short list of five firms based on qualifications, experience, approach, schedule availability, MWBE participation, and references. Anticipated contract award is August 2025, with the construction timeline to be determined pending the study's findings and recommendations. A facility tour and review of existing drawings can be arranged by contacting Richard Merritt, Purchase Associate, at 315-312-2208. Responses must be submitted in three paper copies (one with original signatures) and one electronic copy on flash drive to SUNY Oswego Purchasing Department, 402 Culkin Hall, Oswego, NY 13126.
