Project Fact Sheet
Construction Manager Selection

Student Wellness Center, FS-261

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project consists of approximately 120,000 gsf of new construction, containing primarily student health spaces, classrooms and fitness spaces. Such spaces may include: exam and treatment rooms, clinic support spaces, dental exam rooms, eye exam rooms, central supply, sterilization rooms, laundry, fitness and therapy spaces, lockers, showers, offices, conference rooms, large and small classrooms, reception areas and waiting spaces. The site is the wedge shaped lot bounded on the northwest by Learning Way, on the south by Traditions Way, and on the east by the Woodward Street pedestrian mall. It is expected that this new facility will be located on the western portion of the site, which will require demolition of the three remaining buildings on site.

PROJECT BUDGET
The project budget is $47,500,000, of which the construction budget is approximately $37,000,000.

Selection of finalists for interviews will be made on the basis of construction manager qualifications, including experience and ability; past experience; bonding capacity; record-keeping/administrative ability, critical path scheduling expertise; cost estimating; cost control ability; quality control capability; and qualifications of the firm's personnel, staff and consultants.
