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

Kennesaw State University is soliciting statements of qualifications from professional consultants for Project No. 555-27-058 to modernize its Design, Construction Standards, and Technical Specifications. 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civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and utility infrastructure, with a specific focus on updating outdated IT, audiovisual, electronic access control, and life safety systems.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 firms are first ranked based on team qualifications, experience, and proposed methodology, with each factor weighted at 50 percent. The highest-ranked firm will then be invited to negotiate a base fee, which is estimated to fall between 2,500,000 and 3,250,000 dollars. Interested firms must submit a PDF qualifications package not exceeding 40 pages by October 15, 2026, via a designated file transfer website. Mandatory submission requirements include a notarized certification form, a certificate of insurance and minority status, a project team composition form, a proposer's disclosure statement, and a contractor affidavit certifying compliance with the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act.
