2024-098 University at Buffalo Facilities Design Standards

The University at Buffalo is seeking qualified consultants to develop comprehensive standards for the design and construction of its physical facilities, including documentation, materials, quality, sustainability, maintenance, grounds, and utility standards. These standards will be prepared in various formats to serve the needs of university staff, external professionals, stakeholders, and the community. Interested firms must submit a Letter of Interest, Qualification Statement, Consultant Questionnaire, and any other required documentation by March 20, 2024, with electronic submissions directed to Marty Spence, Senior Buyer for Design and Construction. The project is expected to commence around August 2024 and conclude by December 2025, with the work primarily performed across the university’s North, South, and Downtown campuses in Erie County, New York. This procurement is not set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses but includes specific subcontracting goals: 14% for minority-owned, 16% for women-owned, and 6% for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The contract is managed under the NAICS code 541310 and is part of the SUNY system’s procurement activities. The contract’s terms and conditions, along with detailed submission requirements, are outlined in the attached RFQ. The project emphasizes collaboration with diverse business entities and aims to establish standardized, sustainable practices for the university’s facilities development over the specified timeline.
