Science & Engineering Building Repairs
The University of North Florida – Board of Trustees, a public body corporate, announces that Professional Services in the discipline of forensic Architecture and Engineering plus design services for envelope remedial work is required for the existing Science and Engineering Building (Bldg. 50) – University of North Florida, Jacksonville, FL.
The scope of work will include the use and evaluation of previously prepared analyses of the building envelope to determine the cause(s) of water infiltration. This building is approximately 139,000GSF building on three floors and was built in 2003. The intent is for the consultant to build upon the information and analyses previously prepared to present options, prepare construction documents and develop a phasing plan to implement the remedial work.
The University of North Florida also intends to engage the services of a CM firm to participate in the strategy planning, costing the work and then later to provide the necessary pre-construction services. After the university selects a remediation option, the design professional will prepare construction documents for the corrective work and provide construction administrative services.
