DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Minneapolis, Minnesota is seeking architectural and engineering services for Phase 1 of an infrastructure improvements project. The work will extend chilled water infrastructure and connect existing facilities to the agency’s system, including associated in-building mechanical modifications.
The project will also coordinate civil and site restoration, limited electrical and duct bank improvements, new OIT and fiber infrastructure, and traffic and parking requirements within the excavation limits. The design must include building-side work needed to make the district chilled water connections fully functional rather than ending at the point of entry.
Required services include supplemental programming and pred design, security evaluation and planning, and furniture, furnishings, and equipment design. Basic services cover schematic design, design development, construction documents, and procurement and construction administration. Questions are due by September 14, 2026, and a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 10, 2026.
