A government authority in Michigan is seeking qualified firms to provide architectural and engineering services for the development of a new Administration Building. The selected vendor will deliver comprehensive design, engineering, and construction-phase services, with a focus on integrating the new facility with existing infrastructure.

Key responsibilities include ensuring secure, convenient, and accessible pedestrian connectivity between buildings. This may involve solutions such as an enclosed walkway, tunnel, or shared lobby to achieve seamless integration. The scope also calls for the review and validation of prior programming work, including space requirements, adjacency diagrams, and functional specifications. Vendors will be expected to conduct thorough site analysis, addressing issues related to site constraints, utilities, traffic patterns, and incorporation with the adjacent parking garage.

The project requires the creation of detailed design documents, including plans, elevations, sections, renderings, and 3D models. There will be close coordination with IT, security, and access-control teams to ensure the integration of structured cabling, access control, surveillance, and digital infrastructure. Additionally, the design should prioritize sustainability, energy efficiency, resilience, and adaptability.
