#1753 Richard & Maurine Neuberger Center (RMNC) Speech & Hearing Remodel & Relocation

Portland State University is soliciting proposals for the remodel and relocation of the Speech and Hearing Sciences department to the fourth floor of the Richard and Maurine Neuberger Center in Portland, Oregon. The project involves the build-out of 13,335 square feet, converting existing open-office layouts into specialized enclosed environments, including faculty and staff offices, dry research labs, classrooms, a public reception area, specialized viewing rooms, and student study spaces with a kitchenette. Due to the precise operational needs of clinical and research programs, the contractor must implement high-performance acoustic isolation and sound-attenuation assemblies throughout the space. The procurement process is governed by Oregon Administrative Rules and requires bidders to be licensed by the State of Oregon and the Construction Contractors Board. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bonfire portal by November 5, 2026, and are limited to 20 pages. Award selection is based on a cumulative point system, with a focus on responsiveness and professional competence. The successful contractor will be required to provide performance and payment bonds, adhere to prevailing wage rates, and comply with OSHA and Oregon safety standards. Work is expected to commence within ten calendar days following the execution of the agreement and insurance approval.
