REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS / INTERVIEW – CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE ARKANSAS STATE CAPITOL HVAC RENOVATIONS
The Arkansas Secretary of State (SOS) is soliciting responses from qualified Construction Management firms for the HVAC renovation project in the North half of the Arkansas State Capitol.
Project Description:
Twenty plus years ago the Secretary of State completed a much-needed HVAC upgrade for the South half of the State Capitol. This project in 2003 included the construction of a below grade mechanical room located south of the West entry to the Capitol to house 2 large air handlers to replace smaller air handlers and individual fan coil units scattered throughout all 5 floors in the south half of the building. The short-term plan was to then complete the HVAC upgrades to the North half of the building. However, funding has not been available for this 2nd phase of HVAC upgrades until now.
The Secretary of State has just completed the construction of the North Mechanical Basement located just North of the West entry to the Capitol. The penetration through the existing foundation walls has been completed in preparation of routing supply and return ductwork from the air handlers in the mechanical basement to the 5 floors throughout the north half of the capitol.
There is approximately 40,000sf of heated and cooled space in the north half of the building. The existing HVAC system is comprised of various hot water & chilled water air handlers, above ceiling fan coils and floor mounted fan coil units scattered throughout the building.
This project will entail selective demolition and put back to facilitate the replacement of equipment, ductwork, chilled / hot water piping and associated electrical service to the HVAC equipment.
The estimated cost of construction is 8.5 – 9 million, with construction starting in August of 2025, and completed by August of 2026.
