Description:
The Morton Mandan Public Library is seeking a qualified architectural/engineering firm to design and administer construction of a 2,736‑sq‑ft “Tourism Makerspace Hub” on the second‑floor freight‑house wing of its facility.

This is a single‑award, negotiated contract funded by a state Destination Development Grant. • Full‑service design scope: pre‑design, architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, acoustic, cost estimating, bid support, construction administration, and post‑construction close‑out. • Mandatory deliverables include flexible, ADA‑compliant makerspace layouts (fabrication lab, digital lab, podcast studio, kitchen, classrooms, etc.) and sustainability/energy‑efficiency recommendations. • Required partnership with Mandan High School CTE students for hands‑on learning, safety training, and potential curriculum materials.

Budget Estimate (AI):

$50,000 – $100,000

The solicitation does not disclose a fee ceiling. For a 2,736 sq ft public‑library makerspace renovation, typical construction costs in North Dakota range from $180‑$250 per sq ft, yielding a total construction budget of roughly $500‑$700 k. Design and engineering fees usually run 5‑10 % of construction cost, plus additional fees for specialized programming and educational collaboration. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the A/E contract is $50,000‑$100,000, depending on the firm’s fee structure, scope depth, and sustainability ambitions.
