Qualification statements were due April 25 2024, and the Board issued an award‑recommendation on June 12 2024.
• Scope includes feasibility studies, new construction design, renovation/retrofit design, repair design, construction‑phase services, and project‑management support.
• Compensation is negotiated per project, using set percentages of the owner’s construction cost (15 % schematic, 20 % design development, 40 % construction documents, 5 % bidding, 5 % construction‑phase) plus an hourly rate of $150 for principal staff and reimbursable expenses.
• Awards are to three firms: David H. Melvin, Inc.; Pennoni Associates, Inc.; and Barkley Consulting Engineers, Inc., with a small‑business points preference but no set‑aside requirement.
