NOTICE TO PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS
Florida State University announces that Professional Services in the discipline of Architecture will be required for the project listed below:
Project No. FS - 263
Student Union Renovations
Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida
The project consists of the design of approximately 110,000 GSF of new space for the existing Student Union on the main campus of Florida State University Tallahassee, Florida. The development of this project will be completed in 2 parts. The first part will include an overall master plan of the entire student union project/site and the advanced programming/schematic design of the first 110,00GSF, located in the northwest sector of the existing Student Union complex. Once approved, the second part will include the design development/construction documents required for this scope of work. The new design will include Student Activities spaces, Student Lobby and Lounge spaces, Student Government spaces, Student Meeting spaces, Greek Life Spaces, Multi-purpose Ballroom spaces, support kitchen space, Retail and Dining spaces, Plazas/Roof top Plazas, and support areas. It is also envisioned that the new addition will contribute to a new North Woodward Campus entry and a new identity for the Student Union. All construction must work well with existing Union facilities and be constructed in an additive manner so subsequent construction phases can be easily added as funding becomes available. The selected design firm will be expected to provide master planning, advanced programming and coordination, design and construction documents, and construction administration, including BIM implementation. The project budget is approximately $52,500,000 with a construction budget of $42,000,000. Sustainable design/construction practices including LEED documentation will be required as part of basic services. The project delivery system will be construction management. Blanket professional liability insurance for this project in the amount of $2,000,000 must be provided as a part of Basic Services.
