The University of Nebraska is seeking to engage a qualified Architect/Engineer (A/E) through an electronic Statement of Qualifications submission process for a significant Thermal Energy Storage (TES) project at UNMC. The project involves designing and overseeing the construction of a large-scale TES tank, estimated at approximately 3.5 million gallons, along with a pump house that will support future campus needs for chilled water, hot water, and power supplies. The total construction budget is estimated at $57 million, with an initial construction cost of around $42 million under a Construction Manager at Risk delivery method. The scope includes program development, design, cost estimation, permitting, and construction administration, with utilities integration into existing campus infrastructure and consideration of future utility feeds from Omaha Public Power District. The architectural design is yet to be determined but must align with the surrounding campus and neighborhood aesthetics. The project details are further outlined in the BOR-approved program statement dated August 8, 2024, and other related documents included in the RFQ. The RFQ emphasizes the importance of submitting responses electronically via the designated eBid system by August 30, 2024.

The contract will be managed by the Nebraska State Legislature Education Department (SLED) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with a primary contact for inquiries provided. This comprehensive approach aims to ensure the selection of a capable design team to deliver a facility that meets the university’s operational and aesthetic standards while adhering to budget and schedule constraints.

Full Description
The proposed project is to construct a new Thermal Energy Storage (TES) tank and associated pump house. Preliminary studies suggest an approximate tank volume of 3,500,000 gallons. The pump house will be sized to incorporate future campus capacity needs for chilled water, heating hot water, normal power, and emergency power. It is anticipated that additional feeds from Omaha Public Power District will need to be considered to power the TES and associated pump house. All utilities described above will be tied into the existing campus utility system, including ties to the adjacent East Utility Plant (EUP). The architecture of the tank and pump house is not yet determined. It will be important that the architecture aligns with adjacent campus and neighborhood facilities. The Scope of the work and preliminary schedule is more completely described in the BOR approved Program Statement dated August 8, 2024, and in other documents included in this RFQ.
