RFQ # SOFA-26-005 - Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Fee Proposal/Request for Proposal (RFP) for Architect/Engineering Services - Step # 1

Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana is soliciting architectural and engineering services for the Terre Haute Health Sciences Renovation Capital Project under solicitation number SOFA-26-005. The project involves the renovation and co-location of the medical lab technology, surgical technology, and medical imaging programs, moving them from deteriorating areas of a 1967 building into a newer section constructed in 2002. The goal is to convert general classrooms into state-of-the-art lab spaces across approximately 12,554 gross square feet. The anticipated total project budget is 3,000,000 dollars, which covers design, construction, commissioning, and contingency costs. The project will utilize a Design-Bid-Build delivery method and must comply with Ivy Tech system standards, Indiana law, and federal requirements including HUD EDI funding, NEPA environmental reviews, BABA compliance, and Davis-Bacon wage determinations. The selection process is a multi-step, qualifications-based approach where firms are first shortlisted based on a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and then evaluated via a Request for Proposal (RFP) and personal interview. Key evaluation criteria include the project team's experience, representative projects from the last five years, schedule management, and physical location. The professional services agreement is based on the AIA Document B101-2017, with payments made monthly within 30 days of invoice receipt. Selected firms must provide a sealed fee proposal consisting of lump sum fixed fees and not-to-exceed reimbursable amounts. Mandatory submission requirements include a non-collusion certificate and a supplier diversity information form, with all digital responses submitted via the Workday Strategic Sourcing portal by the October 5, 2026, deadline.
