Limited Design Services for the Keefe Auditorium

The City of Nashua is seeking proposals from qualified architectural firms to provide limited design services for the Keefe Auditorium. The selected firm will be responsible for studying and developing a sufficient level of design to inform the City and its potential preferred developer of the necessary components required to make the Keefe Auditorium a fully functioning facility. The scope of work includes developing three alternatives for the Keefe Auditorium: keeping it as is with minimal upgrades, upgrading it to host traveling companies of performers, and keeping only the façade and constructing a new theater. The firm will also provide renderings of possible exterior designs and a cost estimate for a conceptual project budget. • The project requires the firm to have experience in architectural design and project management. • The firm must be able to provide a team with the necessary skills and expertise to complete the project. • The firm will be required to submit a proposal that includes a qualifications statement, references, and a cost proposal. • The City of Nashua reserves the right to reject any and all proposals and to negotiate any change or amendment in any proposal. • The contract will be awarded based on a competitive selection of proposals received, and the City may choose to interview the top three respondents following ranking or immediately select a vendor from the proposals submitted.
