RSU 53/MSAD 53 wishes to procure architectural/engineering services for a proposed school construction project. The selected firm(s) will work closely with RSU 53/MSAD 53 and the Maine Department of Education to analyze existing District facilities to identify options for addressing the needs of Manson Park Elementary School (#8 on the State’s 2017-2018 Major Capital School Construction Approved List). The evaluation may also include space and needs analysis of additional buildings within the District for a potential comprehensive district-wide solution. The project team will be asked to perform evaluation(s) of potential building sites and develop a strong concept design with required related documents to be submitted to the State Board of Education for Concept Design and Site Approvals. Following a successful Concept Approval by the State Board and a successful local referendum vote, the School District will consider a second professional services contract to include but not be limited to design development, preparation of bid documents, and construction administration. The selected firm or firms may be required to coordinate this work or additional work with other consultants contracted by the Owner.
