Project Description
The seven-story, 246,000 SF building will house the School of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences, uniting the university’s Biology and Chemistry departments under one roof. Designed for 21st-century learning and innovation, the facility will have plenty of advanced research labs, IT spaces, collaboration zones, and a botanical greenhouse. Moody Nolan, the country’s largest African American-owned architecture firm, designed the Science Center as more than just an average university facility. The building will pursue LEED Gold certification and include sustainable features such as a green roof and greywater reclamation systems, aligning innovation with environmental responsibility. This transformational project stands not only as the largest state investment in the university’s history but as a lasting legacy of innovation, equity, and visionary leadership.
Procurement: Understanding Process
- Search for Bidders – Project teams review internet databases, owner recommendations and community partner lists for vendors who match upcoming bid packages.
- Outreach Event – Vendors who attend the Outreach Event have the opportunity to meet the Barton Malow team, learn more about the project and connect with potential partners.
- Register + Pre-qualify – All vendors interested in bidding on the project must both Register and Pre-qualify. Vendors must register for each project they are interested in bidding. Vendors pre-qualify their business only once – this step is not required for every project.
- Invitation to Bid – Registered and pre-qualified vendors will receive an invitation to bid on the project. This will be sent via email using the Barton Malow online bidding tool, BuildingConnected.
- Pre-bid Meeting – Invited bidders have the opportunity to attend a pre-bid meeting where they may ask further questions about the project, working with Barton Malow and the scope of work they have been invited to bid on.
- Bid Day – This is the day all bidders submit their bids for review. Bids must be submitted according to the process and procedures outlined in the materials received with the invitation to bid.
- Bid Evaluation – Bids received will be reviewed based on the project’s evaluation criteria. Bids are evaluated by the community engagement team, construction project team, the owner/client and a neutral compliance party (as applicable).
