RFP D/B - Energy Research + Sustainability Center

The State of California, acting through the Board of Trustees of The California State University, hereinafter called Trustees or BOT, on behalf of California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, hereinafter called University, is seeking proposals from previously short-listed Design-Builders (Proposers) to provide design and construction services for the project referenced above (Project). The Trustees will select a design-build team consisting of a general contractor and architect (Design-Builder) based on qualifications and proposed fees (a design competition is not utilized). Refer to RFP 1.03 for more information on the selection process. The delivery method for this Project is a modified form of the Trustees' Design-Build delivery method, called Collaborative Design-Build. This is a two-phased project delivery process: Phase 1-Design and Preconstruction Services, hereinafter referred to as Phase 1, and Phase 2-Design-Build Construction Services, hereinafter referred to as Phase 2. There will be a separate agreement for each phase. During Phase 1 the University will issue a design and preconstruction services agreement, under which the Design-Builder will: complete the programming; develop the schematic design; commit to a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) and schedule; start Design Development; confirm other criteria are appropriate; and obtain CSU Board of Trustees (BOT) approval. Upon receipt of both the BOT approval of the schematic design and the University's authorization to proceed, Design-Builder shall: continue with the design development; publish a set of the Design-Build Construction Documents; and establish and submit a GMP to the Trustees. During Phase 2, the University will issue a GMP collaborative design-build agreement incorporating: the Design-Build Contract Documents; updated criteria; direct construction cost budget; GMP; contingency; remaining design fees; site management fees; payment and performance bond premiums; overhead and profit; and schedule as agreed upon in Phase 1. The Trustees are not obligated to proceed with Phase 2 with the selected Design-Builder. The Design-Builder is not obligated to proceed with Phase 2 if it so determines that the budget is not adequate, or for other business reasons. Phase 1 work products and electronic files of the Design-Builder are the property of the Trustees. In the event Trustees and Design-Builder do not continue into Phase 2, these documents will be used by the University in any manner, including use as bridging documents for subsequent contracts. Description The project for the new Energy Research and Sustainability Center will provide a hub for interdisciplinarity and inclusive collaboration that supports climate action through energy systems research and teaching and justice driven sustainability initiatives. It is envisioned that the new-build will also serve as a welcoming place for campus and community partnerships, education, sustainability resources, and convening space for innovation to develop collaborative partnerships for human centered climate action and resilient practices. The ER+SC project will consist of new construction of (23,000 GSF) campus building supporting the new Energy Systems Engineering degree program and other campus academic programs related to clean energy, while also strategically collocating a new sustainability center. The new facility will also be supported by the Schatz Energy Research Center, academic program integration, and the Office of Sustainability. The project site for feasibility test fit is located just south of the existing Schatz Center building and on the north end of parking lot G14 with access from B Street. The project will require the demolition of the existing Jensen House which will be unoccupied/unused after the Children's Center staff and office space is relocated to the Trinity Annex Children's Center that is currently under construction.
