Lloyd George Sealy Library in Haaren Hall at John Jay College New York, NY

The Dormitory Authority State of New York (DASNY) is seeking Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking a responsive Statement of Qualifications (“SOQ”) from qualified Architecture and Engineering firms capable of providing Architectural and Engineering Services for the Haaren Hall Library Renovation located at CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice, The Lloyd George Sealy Library (the “Project”).

DASNY is requesting proposals for Architectural and Engineering Services to develop a design, produce construction documents, and provide administrative services during bidding and construction for the renovation of the Lloyd George Sealy Library in Haaren Hall. A feasibility study (attached) was undertaken in 2017 which updated the existing library to provide collaborative learning spaces with access to technology and a variety of study spaces. Because the existing Library entrance is located behind the 10th Avenue Lobby escalators at the cellar level, the study relocated the library entrance to the New Building to provide a highly visible and accessible entrance. This study is to be the starting point for the Pre-design program confirmation phase. Revisions and updates to this study are anticipated.

Design will include construction documents for interior demolition, environmental hazard removals, new structure where required, swing space with construction phasing, new partitions, ceilings, lighting, finishes, fixtures, electric, plumbing, HVAC, FA/FP, furniture, equipment, casework, plus information technology, audio visual and security systems.

DASNY contributes to the economic development of New York State by assisting and supporting Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) through its procurement process. As part of this EOI, and consistent with New York State Executive Law 15-A and Article 3 of the New York State Veteran Services Law, DASNY encourages all firms to consider submitting proposals that utilize partnerships, joint ventures or other similar arrangements with a New York State certified MWBE/SDVOB firm on this contract. For technical assistance identifying certified MWBE firms contact Empire State Development at www.esd.ny.gov or visit DASNY’s MWBE Registry at www.dasny.org. For NYS Certified SDVOB firms contact www.ogs.ny.gov/veterans.
