Illinois State University is seeking professional architectural and engineering services from firms who have experience in the assessment, repair or replacement of a tensioned cable fabric roof system.
The Illinois State University Redbird Arena is an ISU campus sports venue. In addition to hosting competitive collegiate basketball and volleyball, Academic convocations and other community events use the Arena facility. The Arena is covered by a Cabledome structure clad with tensioned membrane panels of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coated fiberglass fabric, fiberglass insulation and PVC coated polyester liner/ceiling. The Cabledome consists of a non-triangulated cable and strut network anchored to a perimeter collar ring-beam. The Redbird Arena roof was the first Cabledome structure built in the United States. This facility has perimeter tensioned membrane skylights constructed of the same materials.
The University has been monitoring the condition of the roof since the building was built. Assessments were completed in 2003 and 2014. These assessments recommended plans be developed for the replacement of the roof. Therefore, the scope of this project includes the following:
1. Conduct a current condition assessment of the roof fabric and structure, including structural loading capabilities. This condition assessment will determine the remaining useful life of this roof system and when it needs to be replaced (i.e. calendar year)
2. Develop a plan for roof and skylight replacement, including contemporary materials and installation methodology as appropriate, subject to Illinois State University approval.
3. Develop a plan for any modifications and repairs to the structural system, including the collar ring-beam and cables, subject to Illinois State University approval.
4.Prepare a report outlining considerations and making recommendations how construction access may be approached.
5. Prepare a complete set of construction documents for bidding.
6. Answer all questions during ISU's public procurement process.
7. Provide construction administration services during repairs, or replacement.
Architecture and Engineering firms interested in submitting their qualifications should have demonstrated knowledge, experience, and expertise with facilities of this typology. The designers and any required sub-consultants will be responsible for developing a comprehensive construction budget and schedule for this project.
This advertisement is directed to the engineering support services needed to complete the design and construction documents for public bidding including construction documents, specifications, bid services and construction administration services. Needed services and brief scope of work include: Architectural, Roofing Specialists and Structural Engineering.
It is expected that a single team comprised of these disciplines will be assembled to provide the referenced services.
