City of Greenville #26-3970

Architectural-Engineering Services for City Hall Renovation

The City of Greenville Purchasing Division in South Carolina is the government buyer for this award, specifically for architectural-engineering services related to the City Hall renovation project. The solicitation is identified as RFP No. 26-3970. The awarded services include comprehensive architectural and engineering design services for the renovation of City Hall, including replacement of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems, interior upfit, exterior envelope upgrades, and limited scope work in the basement level. The project scope also contemplates green building practices, potential LEED or Green Globes certification, and a comprehensive post-construction maintenance plan consisting of O&M submittals, budget attachments, and warranty documents. The City will provide geotechnical, survey, material testing, and environmental services separately. The building is expected to be vacated during construction, and no phased construction is planned. The Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) will be selected separately and will handle cost modeling and estimates; the design team is not responsible for third-party estimating. No specific OEMs or vendors are mentioned in the document. The period of performance anticipates design services to begin shortly after design team selection, with project completion expected by the fourth quarter of 2028. Unique contract requirements include the absence of available feasibility studies, record drawings, or building tours prior to proposal submission, and a significant burden on offerors to verify site conditions independently.
