Specifications include, but are not limited to: relocate researchers from the Institute of Translational Neuroscience (ITN) from the Wallin Medical Biosciences building (WMBB) to the Molecular and Cellular Biology Building (MCB). The program includes open lab benches, lab support spaces, and offices arranged to fit within the existing rooms and available spaces on MCB 5th Floor. Remodeling is anticipated, but not limited to, walls, doors and building infrastructure systems necessary to support the lab support spaces. MCB has an existing smoke control system, any design modifications to the mechanical system will require confirmation of compliance of the smoke control system by the engineer on record. The University will also be purchasing new lab equipment as part of this relocation, in combination with the existing equipment to be relocated with anticipated modifications necessary to support the new location of the equipment. The Predesign report provided is a preliminary assessment of the clients program, space requirements, identified constraints and suggested design opportunities that outline the goals and intentions of the University of Minnesota client. It is the University's intention to move forward with the mechanical alternate (alternate 1) for air valve replacement noted in the Predesign report. The CMaR Respondent’s scope of services will include live cost modeling/estimating, schedule and material procurement management, construction feasibility reviews, project phasing management and more. The Rep will be required to generate a Schematic Design (SD) estimate immediately upon award based on updated/provided SD information from the design team. The selected Respondent will provide a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) at the completion of the Design Development (DD) Package. The selected CMaR Responent will assist in seeking opportunities to expedite design/construction which may include early material procurement and suggestion of Construction Document packages. Materials cannot be procured until after the issuance of the DD package unless authorized otherwise by CPM. The Project may include the following Alternates: Alternate 1: Replace Air Valves within Project Boundary - replace all supply, general exhaust and fume hood exhaust air valves within the project boundary, or those serving the open labs that include a project boundary. (See page 30-31 for extent of valves within project boundary). NOTE: Alternate 1 is currently included in the Cost of the Work. Alternate 2: Replace Laboratory Valves Outside of the Project Boundary: Replace all supply, general exhaust and fume hood exhaust air valves associated with the remaining open lab area and associated support spaces. This would include all valves outside of the project boundary, but within the control areas of the lab spaces. NOTE: Alternate 2 is NOT included in the Cost of the Work and will be considered/priced out by the selected Respondent at a later date. The selected Respondent is to manage (with CPM) the construction management documentation process through either Bluebeam or a Respondent support program that provides CPM visibility for the duration of the project. Preference will be given to Respondent teams with experience working on lab relocations or similar. This project is not tax exempt. Alliiance / Dunham is the Architect/Engineer of Record for the Project.
