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.
