Description of Project
This project is summarized with the following facts to supplement information that was delineated in the original ad as Notice to Professional Consultants published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on 9.14.12:
1. This project pertains to the expansion of the main Campus Energy Plant building and equipment to prepare for new campus buildings to be constructed in or about the East Academic Core Area within the Loop Road.
2. The expansion of the building will be approximately 5,000 gross square feet of area, and include chilled water equipment to serve approximately 200,000 gross square feet for future buildings in the East Academic Core area.
3. The project also includes the master planning to define the location and size of the new chilled water piping from the CEP to the East Academic Core area.
4. The MEP consultant will be the lead consultant on this project, however other consultants such as architectural, civil and structural will be responsible to the MEP and their services will be included under the MEPs contract with the University.
5. The MEP consultant will be required to develop all contract documents for the project, including stamped and sealed documents to obtain approval from local code officials and the State Fire Marshal. At this point we are not sure if and when the University will proceed to actual construction of the project, however, the contract documents should be designed to allow the University to proceed immediately if so desired.
6. The project will include a new cooling tower(s), related piping insulation, rigging, chemical treatment and temperature control work both for the building and related site work.
7. The method of project delivery to construct the project will require the MEP consultant to administrate the project through the use of Public Open Bid methods.
8. The estimated cost of construction for the project is $7.5 million, with a total project budget of $8.0 million.
9. Included as part of the proposals submitted, the MEP Consultant should indicate the sub-consultants that would be utilized for this project.
10. Once Requests for Proposals are submitted to the University, the selection of the MEP consultant will be performed by a Selection Committee, who will recommend approval to FGCU administration. The composition of the Selection Committee has not been determined as yet.
11. Upon approval of the selected MEP consultant by administration, FGCU will negotiate a contract with said selected MEP consultant for the design of the project.
12. At such time as the University decides to proceed with construction, some portions of the construction of this project will include Owner Direct Purchases with the selected construction manager in order for FGCU to save related sales on larger pieces of equipment and/or materials.
13. Per a recent decision by the President of FGCU, this project will not be LEED certified.
