Howell Science Building South Comprehensive Renovation (Phase 1)

East Carolina University is seeking the services of a qualified design firm to provide design services for the Howell Science Building South-Comprehensive Renovation phase 1. The project will eventually consist of three phases of renovation. This solicitation is for design services for the South tower, the North to South connector, and the animal lab. Services will include preparation of a comprehensive building program, cost model, design, existing equipment assessment, relocation planning, and construction sequencing for this renovation. The selected designer will work with the university's space planning department as well as user groups to determine programmatic needs as well as possible temporary laboratory space if needed during the renovation. The original 1969 complex consists of three separate towers with connectors for a total of approximately 127,794 square feet. The complex is composed of classrooms and offices, but it functions primarily as a laboratory building. The lab spaces are isolated and cannot sufficiently support open collaborative lab research. Howell's utility systems are near the end of their useful life. This project is intended to address deferred maintenance throughout including building systems, life safety, accessibility, code compliance and abatement. The construction must be completed in multiple phases as two of the towers will always be occupied during construction requiring continuous MEP and network service throughout the project. This project's renovation in the South tower will require sequencing/coordination to prevent adversely affecting occupancy in other areas. The selected firm may be retained for future phases of work at the University's sole discretion, provided additional phases begin within 6 months of construction completion. Interested firms should submit six (6) copies of a current SF330, a portfolio of relevant work and a letter of interest to the project manager, LL Everett, at the address below by February 7, 2022. Succinct proposals that convey the breadth of the team's qualifications will be very much appreciated and considered in the review process.
HUB vendors/contractors are encouraged to submit a bid for this project.
