  - The Architect is to coordinate architectural, structural, MEP, civil, geotechnical, landscape/site, interior-design, surveying, and other necessary specialty services, including soil investigation and updated surveys as required.
  - Design is to consider site and parking improvements and coordinate with Owner-retained consultants, cost estimates, value engineering, and cost control.
- **Notable requirements:** The selected Architect is intended to provide the full A/E scope. The procurement is seeking qualifications rather than pricing at this stage. No final construction budget or formal green-building certification is established.
