The Board of Trustees of Eastern Illinois University requests submission of qualifications from interested engineers/architects to design the rehabilitation of a chiller and upgrade electrical service and distribution in McAfee Gym. McAfee is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and modifications must comply with the IHPA. The construction budget for this project is approximately $650,000 and will be provided by the Capital Development Board.

The successful design firm will consist of experienced and talented engineers knowledgeable in the design of chillers and high and medium voltage electrical systems. The University will use a structured process to select the design firm as well as oversee the design effort.

The University will begin evaluating submissions from interested design firms on October 7, 2002 with the intent to select a firm by November 4, 2002. Submit two copies of requested Statement of Qualifications to QBS Committee, Facilities Planning and Management, Eastern Illinois University, 600 E. Lincoln Ave., Charleston, IL 61920-3099.
