Request for Qualifications for Design-Build Services – Poe Hall – Renovation

The purpose of this Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) for Design-Build Services
is for North Carolina State University (“NC State”) to solicit responses in accordance with the requirements of this RFQ for the selection of a Design-Builder to join the project team for the upcoming Poe Hall – Renovation project.

Description:    

Built in 1970, Poe Hall is a seven-story, concrete frame, 150,982 GSF building in the North Precinct of Main Campus at NC State. In 2023, the presence of hazardous materials was detected in the building; subsequently, the building was vacated, with all occupants relocated to other buildings.

A separate project and Design-Builder will perform all hazardous material abatement and selective deconstruction work. At the end of abatement and selective deconstruction, all that will remain is an intact concrete frame that is ready for the work of this project to begin. The Design-Builder for this project will be expected to coordinate efforts with the Design-Builder of the abatement and selective deconstruction efforts.

This project will comprehensively renovate Poe Hall such that the College of Education may resume normal operations in the building as quickly as reasonably practicable, with NC State and the Design-Builder agreeing to a project schedule prior to execution of the Construction Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”).
