Description
Oregon State University issued a competitive RFP to retain a commissioning agent for the Collaborative Innovation Complex (CIC), a ~150,000 sf research and computing facility on the Corvallis campus. The selected firm will provide design‑phase and construction‑phase commissioning, including testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) of HVAC, building automation, power, fire protection, lab utilities, security, data‑center, and other building systems, develop commissioning plans, perform functional testing, produce reports, and train OSU personnel. The scope originally included an irrigation audit, which was removed via Addendum 2. Proposals were limited to firms already in OSU’s 2019‑2023 Professional Consultant Reserve; non‑reserve firms could apply for entry. The solicitation featured a mandatory pre‑proposal conference (Feb 24 2023, 9:00 AM PT), a bid deadline of March 14 2023, and evaluation criteria totaling 100 points (with a heavy emphasis on key personnel and sustainability experience). The contract award was announced in a Notice of Intent to Award on April 7 2023, naming Systems West Engineers, Inc. as the intended contractor.
