California State University, Chico is seeking the services of a qualified firm to provide inspection services for the major capital project described below. Duties shall be consistent with the requirements of the 2022 California Building Code and as described herein. Final sequencing and schedule will be coordinated with Chico State and the Contractor. Note: The Firm selected to provide Materials Testing Services for the project will not be selected to provide Construction Inspector Services on that same project. The intent is that, for each project, one firm will provide IOR, and a separate firm will provide materials testing lab (MTL) services, which typically includes providing special inspectors. The IOR, when not otherwise in demand, will be expected to perform special inspections to minimize unnecessary doubling up on coverage. The California State University, Chico, Human Identification Laboratory project consists of one building which will serve as a new forensic and teaching lab facility on campus. The building is steel construction, two stories tall and 28,600 GSF total. Building exterior features include thin brick, metal panels, and glazing.
