Project Description Cleveland State University (CSU) is soliciting responses to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select a design firm to develop plans for the Science Research Building Renovation and Expansion Phase 2. This project builds upon the FY2021-22 biennium request to expand and renovate the existing Science Research building on Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland. The overarching goal of this project is to create an innovative new space to expand CSU’s Engaged Learning initiatives with a “one-stop” shop for Cleveland area workforce solutions, talent development, and connections to CSU’s faculty and centers of excellence, expand critical teaching and research as needed, and make essential building renovations. CSU anticipates approximately 30,000 SQF of the new building footprint to be allocated toward the Centers of Excellence. The program will also expand the combined wet laboratory instructional and research space. The Centers of Excellence is a “one-stop” shop for CSU students’ overall talent needs to ensure workforce optimization and expansion. CSU’s new Talent Solutions Institute will provide that and more – a connecting nerve center to the vast power of CSU’s Colleges, faculty, and staff, with an underlying structure that could quickly, effectively, and efficiently route a partner to the right talent and expertise. This broader cooperative education structure and operating modality will provide creative space to connect employers with students, faculty, and staff experts on the future of work, emerging workforce needs, and specific skill set training required at the bachelor and graduate degree levels. The new institute would also be the centerpiece of the new CSU Engaged Learning Promise; any first-year student attending CSU is guaranteed a co-op or internship in Northeast Ohio. The institute will be a clearinghouse for paid and unpaid co-ops, faculty-supervised research projects, job opportunities, scholarships, and employer connectivity. Students will be treated as members of the CSUSI talent pool. B. Scope of Services CSU would like the design team to develop a comprehensive program and conceptual design for the efficient and effective use of the space and within its financial resources. Upon completion of these endeavors, the design team will be responsible for comprehensive design services for the project, including schematic design, design development, construction documents, construction administration, and warranty management. During the project’s initial phase, the selected consultant shall work with CSU to develop a comprehensive program plan and cost estimate for the area in red on the map below. mailto:e.cranford@csuohio.edu mailto:m.westerman@csuohio.edu mailto:e.cranford@csuohio.edu mailto:m.westerman@csuohio.edu http://ofcc.ohio.gov/ Request for Qualifications (Architect / Engineer) continued F110-02-2022-MAR Publish Date: 5/30/2023 Page 2 of 5 Preliminary timeline First advertisement of RFQ 5/25/23 Last day for RFQ questions to be submitted 6/13/23 Statement of Qualifications due 2:00 PM 6/16/23 Short-listed firms notified 6/23/23 On-campus interviews/ RFP 6/30/23 Materials Due 7/6/23 Controlling Board Approval 8/7/23 Project kick-off meeting 9/11/23 100% CD’s 9/11/24 Construction Complete 3/11/26 Refer to the Ohio Facilities Construction Manual for additional information about the type and extent of services required for each.
