L09162 Construct Metal Building

The State University of New York at Oneonta is soliciting qualifications from design firms or teams for the design and construction administration of a approximately 3,200 square foot metal building located west of campus for the Office of Facilities and Safety. The project scope encompasses site design including a survey, foundation and structural design, and MEP design for a heated and insulated finished shell featuring basic MEP components and a toilet room, specifically designed to accommodate a future interior fit-out. The anticipated timeline includes a design award in late 2026, a construction award in summer 2027, and project completion by spring 2028. While the construction budget is estimated at 300,000 dollars, design fees will be negotiated separately with the most qualified consultant. Qualified firms must submit their proposals in PDF format to the Assistant Director of Facilities Finance by October 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM EST. Submissions must focus on design team and personnel qualifications, project approach, and relevant experience from the last five years; cost proposals are strictly prohibited at this stage. The selection process emphasizes socioeconomic goals, with targets of 16 percent for Minority Business Enterprises, 14 percent for Women Business Enterprises, and 6 percent for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses. Awardees must comply with New York State laws regarding sexual harassment prevention, non-discrimination, and procurement lobbying, and must maintain liability insurance of at least 2,000,000 dollars per claim with the State University of New York named as an additional insured.
