Specifications include, but are not limited to: The successful Proposer will reserve the right to enter into an agreement to supply the Rhode Island Convention Center Authority with engineering, consulting and management services for the renovations of the 5th floor meeting and ballroom spaces and toilet rooms at the Rhode Island Convention Center as outlined in this document. The successful firm may be assigned further projects in the AMP and the RI Convention Center. The existing finishes and lighting, etc. in the meeting and ballroom spaces are original to the construction in the early 1990’s. They are considered too dark, outdated, and worn. The intent of the project is to modernize the spaces to meet current trends and to anticipate future needs of the facility. The toilet rooms off the public areas and some meeting rooms are worn and need minor refreshing as part of the project. The public/pre-function areas are NOT part of the project. Back of house areas are NOT part of the project at this time, except any MEP work required to support the renovations. The attached (Exhibit B) graphic reflects the areas that are part of the scope of the project. The approximate net square footage of the proposed scope is 41,000 sqft. The scope is to provide preconstruction and construction phase services including condition assessment, design, bidding, contract administration and on-site quality control. A Construction Manager at Risk shall be used for the work. The Owner has engaged an Owner’s Project Manager (Hill International) to represent the Owner during the Project.
