- Description
- PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT --OFFICE MODERNIZATION The University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), which is operated under Prime Contract DE-AC03-76SF00098 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), intends to subcontract for professional Architect-Engineering (AE) services for a proposed office modernization project. Construction cost for the project is currently estimated in the $300,000 to $500,000 range. The proposed office modernization project may target several key LBNL buildings on its main site or in local off-site leased space. The proposed project will yield an office configuration that increases occupancy density; improves quality; and provides greater occupant interaction, collaboration, and satisfaction. The proposed project will concentrate first on large blocks of space (approximately 7,000 gsf per block) containing mainly administrative functions. The project includes conceptual design of alternative layouts; reduction in the number of enclosed offices and individual cubicles; consolidation of file rooms, copy rooms, and other shared space; and provision for common gathering areas, e.g. coffee bars, conversation areas, etc. This is not a request for quotation. It is an announcement for subcontracting opportunities with the University of California, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Interested firms are encouraged to submit qualifications as indicated below. SCOPE OF SERVICES: The work includes, but is not limited to, professional architectural and engineering services. ? Architectural and engineering design. ? Construction cost estimating. ? Attendance at meetings scheduled for design reviews or coordination, including a meeting with Laboratory Management to present the merits of the modernization plan.
