StanCOG Policy Board Chamber and Office Renovation Design Services

Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG) seeks a design team to turn a former bank teller area into a public Policy Board chamber and improve nearby offices. - Government buyer: Stanislaus Council of Governments (StanCOG), Project Delivery department; the solicitation identifies the Manager of Engineering as the project contact. The project site is StanCOG’s occupied office building in Modesto, California. - Requested services: Prime-consultant architectural and engineering services from programming and existing-condition checks through design, permitting and bid support, construction administration, closeout, and warranty support. The chamber is intended for a 16-member board, staff, and the public. - Required team expertise: Architecture, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire protection, civil, accessibility, and independent cost estimating. Audiovisual and IT work is outside this scope, but the design team must coordinate with StanCOG’s separate provider. - Notable requirements: Provide at least two chamber concepts, plan construction phasing for an occupied building where meetings continue, and prepare independent cost estimates at schematic design, design development, and construction-document milestones. Estimates must use California prevailing-wage assumptions and account for phased, occupied-building construction. Permit- and bid-issue documents must be signed and stamped; electronic deliverables must include PDF and editable native files. Work is authorized phase by phase as funding is confirmed, and no phase is guaranteed. - OEMs and vendors: Trane and Carrier are named in existing-condition materials for equipment already at the site; they are not identified as new purchases. No architectural consultant, reseller, or supplier is named as the selected vendor. Prior-study references also list 11 TV monitors, kitchen appliances, and three fire-extinguisher cabinets, but these are not stated as requested purchases in the current design-services scope. - Budget and term: No total project budget or fixed overall performance duration is stated. The prior study’s construction estimate is background information, not a stated budget for this professional-services contract.

Description

Stanislaus Council of Governments seeks a qualified architectural firm to design the conversion of the former teller area at 1407 I Street, Modesto, into a Policy Board meeting chamber, with associated improvements to surrounding offices. The prime consultant will provide services through programming, existing-condition verification, code analysis, schematic and detailed design, phasing, permitting and bid support, construction administration, closeout, and warranty. The work must be priced across all phases, but phases will be authorized individually as funding is confirmed and none is guaranteed. The project has no established total budget, and the solicitation requires independent cost estimates prepared at design milestones.
