UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS CAMPUS
The University of California, Davis campus requests the submission of written statements of qualifications
by Thursday, December 6, 2012, 4:00 p.m. for consideration to provide full architectural and
engineering programming and design for the School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) Administrative
Complex Project.
Estimated construction cost is $15.5 million. Programming will commence in early January 2013.
Schematic Design will commence in Spring 2013 with Design Development and Construction Document
phases to follow thereafter. Construction is estimated to begin in summer 2014. The Project will be a
Construction Manager at Risk contract delivery method. A partial programming document has been
created, and will be given to the successful firm to complete programming and begin designing. The
design team shall include an architect as the prime consultant (Design Professional) with sub-consultants
for mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, LEED consultation, and cost estimating.
This Project will construct a new approximately 29,000 gsf stand-alone building for the SVM
administrative and support programs, and the relocation of the Scrubs Café. The new building will be
located in the Arboretum West District located near the southeast entrance of the Health Sciences District
(HSD) off of Garrod Drive.
The Project consists of the following:
1. Construction of a new 20,000 gsf stand-alone administrative building for the SVM. The building
will be configured and programmed to support the needs of the following SVM divisions: School
of Veterinary Medicine Executive Office, Academic and Student Programs, Academic Personnel
and Staff Administration, Fiscal Administration, Research and Graduate Education, Development,
and Information Technology.
2. The building will also accommodate the relocation of the Scrubs Café, approximately 9000 gsf
food service facility, from its current location in the Medical Sciences 1B building.
3. The Project includes demolition of Surge IV (current Vet Med Dean’s Office).
4. A separate Project will include relocation of the roadway into the HSD district that will be
completed as part of the Putah Creek Lodge Parking Lot Expansion project.
The University is seeking a design team that will form a creative partnership with the campus and the
eventual Construction Manager (Contractor) to create an efficient program, and design for the facility
while remaining sensitive to meeting stringent schedule and budget goals. Relevant qualifications shall
include extensive and proven experience in designing similar buildings with construction costs in excess
of $8 million, preferably in a University environment. Firms must demonstrate their history in meeting
project budgets and schedules, and their ability to provide effective and experienced support during the
construction administration phase.
The School of Veterinary Medicine Administrative Complex Project is funded by campus funds.
