Project Description
The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign requests statements of qualifications from Professional Services Consultants interested in providing the Urbana-Champaign campus with architectural services on a retainer basis. The University has a target number of twelve (12) firms to be selected, but reserves the right to award more or fewer retainer contracts based on the qualifications of the submitting firms.
It is the intent of the University of Illinois to adhere to the aspirational goal delineated in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women and Persons with Disabilities Act 30 ILCS 575/4f(1)(c) to contract with minority-owned business enterprises (MBE), women-owned business enterprises (WBE), persons with disabilities-owned business enterprises (PBE) for not less than 20% of the total dollar amount of the award(s), and to contract with veteran and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB, SDVOSB) for not less than 3% of the total dollar value of the award(s).
Selected firms will be awarded an initial two-year agreement (beginning July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2023). Each agreement will have the option for one (1) two-year renewal (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025). The total term with the ability to renew will end at June 30, 2025. At each renewal, there will be an opportunity to make adjustments in the scheduled hourly rates.
Architectural Services required under this contract include, but are not limited to, feasibility studies, programming, program analysis, and remodeling projects. In addition, the ability to provide a full range of professional services under the contract is required including in-house rendering capabilities, cost modeling, preliminary design, construction documents, procurement (bidding) assistance, construction administration, construction observation, and post-construction services. The Professional Services Consultant should have access to consulting resources that provide diverse experience and expertise to include but not be limited to accessibility, instructional and research lab, instructional space, housing, food service, retail, roofing, envelope design, sustainability, systems building, signage, interior architecture, FF&E, elevator, IT, AV and sport/recreational type projects.
