Specifications include, but are not limited to: • Evaluate existing buildings’ structural and mechanical systems to determine capabilities and design capacities to support the proposed new roof systems and to comply with current plumbing codes. • Design roof replacement scope, budget and timeline to meet projected MN State Building Code updates scheduled to be required after March 31, 2020. • Assist the campus in evaluating construction-phasing options that minimize the disruption of the academic schedule. Clearly communicate design and cost ramifications of the schedule’s impact to allow the campus a complete understanding of the design and schedule decisions. • Investigate life cycle costs during the design process. Life cycle cost considerations include but are not limited to: energy efficiency; sustainability; and the maintainability of design, materials, and equipment. • Meet schedule deadlines, provide accurate cost estimating, and design buildings for ease of constructability. Quality control and complete, accurate and fully coordinated Contract Documents are an important element of the selected Design Team's services. • Prepare all Construction Documents using computer aided design and drafting technology in an electronic data exchange file format acceptable to the Owner. All drawings and specifications shall conform to Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Facilities Design Standards and adhere to all applicable building, life safety, and energy codes. • The successful vendor shall utilize the Owner's web-based enterprise project management system (EPMS), called e-Builder. This software includes real time Internet visibility of the Project status, coordination, reporting, and a central location for all Project information. The functionality of this software may include, but is not limited to the processing of: Plan Reviews, contracts, Purchase Orders, Change Orders, Invoices, Applications for Payment, and Requests for Information, Submittals and document management related to the Project. Minnesota State will provide and manage a log-in license for the vendor's designated Project representative(s) at no cost to the vendor. Minnesota State will provide initial software training to the vendor's designated Project representative(s) at no cost to the vendor. Except for licenses and initial training, Minnesota State assumes no responsibility for any real or potential costs associated with the use of this software by the vendor.
