Integrated Digital Enterprise Accelerator Lab (IDEAL)

The New Mexico State University (NMSU) is soliciting professional architectural and engineering services to design and construct the Integrated Digital Enterprise Accelerator Lab (IDEAL). The project will be delivered using a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) approach, requiring full‑service design from programming through close‑out, coordination of a micro‑grid with solar, battery storage, and EV charging, and phased construction delivery. The effort includes extensive coordination with university stakeholders, value‑engineering, cost estimating, and construction administration. • Full architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire‑protection, and specialty consulting services across all design phases (SD, DD, CD). • Delivery method: CMAR with early contractor involvement, overlapping design‑construction phases, and guaranteed maximum price (GMP) development. • Project milestones: Site visit 5/26/2026, questions due 5/29/2026, addenda deadline 6/11/2026, proposal submission 6/18/2026; design contract award July 2026, construction award Fall 2026, substation completion 15 May 2028, close‑out 1 June 2028. • Preference points for New Mexico resident or veteran‑owned firms; mandatory compliance with NMSU’s standard terms, insurance, and data‑security requirements.
