university UNION BUILDING FEASIBILITY STUDY University Project Number
22400  

The University’s standard RFP has been substantially modified.  Please read this RFP very closely .
 
All documents and addenda will be distributed at
http://www.bidsync.com/ .
 

Project Description:  
 

Project Description: The University of Utah is seeking a consultant team with extensive experience in higher

education visioning, planning, and facility design, with a strong focus on the needs of students. Particularly, we are looking for experience in the planning and design of modern, forward-looking University Student Union facilities.
 
The A. Ray Olpin University Union building was built in 1953, expanded in 1968, and has undergone numerous renovations in its 67-year history.  While it has served the University well, the building presents numerous challenges related to the age of the structure.  Additionally, it no longer meets the functional and space needs of our students, faculty and staff.
 
To date, the University has completed several studies which will inform the process ahead, as follows:
 

EXHIBIT A :  University of Utah Briefing Document, Spring 2018

EXHIBIT B :  A. Ray Olpin University Union Visioning Task Force Report, Spring 2019

EXHIBIT C :  A. Ray Olpin Union Elevator Modernization Study, April 2019
 
A preliminary seismic evaluation was also completed in 2018.  As with any building of this age, a significant investment in seismic upgrades will be required when the building is substantially renovated.
 
 The
EXHIBIT A: University of Utah Briefing Document suggests that the Union should be doubled in size in order to accommodate the University’s growing needs.  As part of this project, we hope to take an in-depth look at this recommendation, consider how the role of Student Union buildings may have changed over time as other campus buildings have added dining, study and gathering spaces, and determine the right and financially feasible size for this expanded facility.  
 

Project Delivery Goals: The goal of this project is to deliver an innovative, state-of-the art building with a forward-looking vision thru innovative programs, as well as utilization of innovative and sustainable building materials, products and processes.  This approach requires a team that is willing to “think outside the box” in order to drive innovation, quality, cost and schedule. 
 

FLCC :  The FLCC for this is not yet determined.
 

Feasibility Study Fee: The maximum amount that the Feasibility Study team will be contracted for the services described is
$150,000 – excluding reimbursable expenses.
