Request For Proposals for Architectural & Engineering Design Services

Northwestern Michigan College is seeking a full‑service design team to renovate the 65‑year‑old Osterlin Building into a modern Student Services Hub. The scope includes architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, interior design, BIM modeling, FF&E specification, low‑voltage/telecom coordination, and all related documentation from schematic design through construction documents. The project must meet energy‑efficiency, ADA, and sustainability goals and support the consolidation of numerous student‑service departments. The design effort is expected to conclude by mid‑2027, followed by a 12‑month construction phase. • Comprehensive A/E services covering architecture, structural, MEP, interior design, BIM, and FF&E. • Coordination with a forthcoming Construction Manager‑At‑Risk (CMAR) and third‑party consultants (hazardous‑materials, site surveys). • Design must incorporate energy‑saving upgrades (new windows, insulated panels, LED lighting, geothermal‑compatible HVAC) and full ADA compliance.
