KSU - Project No. 555-27-058 ¿Design, Construction Standards, and Technical Specifications Update¿

Kennesaw State University is soliciting statements of qualifications for professional consultant services to modernize its Design and Construction Standards and Technical Specifications under Project No. 555-27-058. The primary objective is to transition the university from a document-based library to a web-based SharePoint platform, ensuring alignment with the Campus Master Plan and Sustainability Master Plan. The scope of work involves a comprehensive evaluation and update of standards across multiple disciplines, including architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection, with a specific focus on updating outdated IT infrastructure, audiovisual systems, electronic access control, and life safety systems. Deliverables include CSI MasterFormat-based technical specifications, a governance framework for a living standards platform, and detailed administrative procedures for version control and document management. The selection process is a two-step approach where the highest-ranked firm based on qualifications and methodology will be invited to negotiate fees. The estimated base fee for the project is between 2,500,000 and 3,250,000 dollars. Evaluation criteria are split equally between team qualifications and experience and the proposed work plan and methodology. Interested firms must submit a qualifications package not exceeding 40 pages by October 15, 2026, via a designated electronic portal. Required submission documents include a notarized certification form, a certificate of insurance and minority status, a project team composition form, a proposer's disclosure statement, and a mandatory E-Verify contractor affidavit. All work must comply with ADAAG accessibility guidelines and other applicable state and federal codes.
