Design-Build Services for Bell Tower and Plaza

Hagerstown Community College is soliciting proposals for design-build services to complete a bell tower and plaza on its campus. The project requires qualified design professionals and contractors to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to ensure the project is legally occupied and fully functional. The selection process is based on a cumulative point system, where the highest-scoring firm may be invited for interviews and reference checks. Proposals must be submitted electronically by November 20, 2026, and must adhere to a strict twenty-page limit, excluding specific exempt items like the front cover and requested appendices. The contractor must be licensed by the State of Oregon and comply with prevailing wage laws, ADA standards, and OSHA safety requirements. Key deliverables include the completed construction as specified in the project drawings, audiovisual system block diagrams, and a detailed work schedule. The contract requires the provision of performance and payment bonds within 20 days of award. Additionally, the contractor must adhere to strict packaging and labeling standards, including TIA/EIA-606-A and UL969 compliance for labeling materials, and ensure all fire-rated components remain clearly labeled upon delivery. Evaluation will prioritize responsiveness and the ability to provide a dedicated Project Manager, Superintendent, and Project Executive.
