Massachusetts Contract for Study Services (Revised 3/11) at Attachment C, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Contract for Final Design and Construction Administration Services (Revised 5/12) at Attachment E, and on the Supplier Diversity Office (formerly SOMWBA) website: http://www.mass.gov/sdo. Applications from MBE and WBE firms as prime consultant are encouraged. Applicants that are themselves MBE or WBE certified will be required to bring a reasonable amount of participation by a firm(s) that holds the certification which is not held by the applicant to the project. Proposed MBE/WBE participation plans that include solely MBE or solely WBE participation, or have only nominal participation by one or the other to meet the combined goal, will not be considered responsive. Applicants are strongly encouraged to utilize multiple disciplines and firms to meet the MBE/WBE goal. Consultants to the prime can team within their disciplines in order to meet the MBE/WBE goal, but must state this relationship on the organizational chart (Section 6 of the application form). APPROPRIATION LANGUAGE: Chapter 258 of 2008, Section 2, “. . . for additional classroom space at Quinsigamond Community College . . .” GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK: The selected Designer will prepare a certifiable study for the second of two phases of capital investment at Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) funded by the Higher Education Bond Bill of 2008. The first phase, a 35,800 GSF Science and Technology Building, is currently in design and expected to be occupied in the spring of 2016. The architectural program for the new building is anticipated to focus on increasing the College’s stock of instructional space. A preliminary program meeting the target construction budget will be proposed for evaluation in the study by an update to the 2006 Chan Krieger Master Plan performed by NBBJ and transmitted to the selected Designer prior to the initial project meeting. Key design objectives for the project include: State of the Art Design for College Instruction Instructional space provided by the project will be highly flexible, appropriately sized and equipped and incorporate the most current and best educational practices to maximize flexibility to address rapidly evolving instructional programs, technologies and approaches, including break-out, shared, and informal gathering space. Sustainable, High-performance Building and Landscape Design The design of the new Classroom Building will achieve the highest feasible energy efficiency and will consider geothermal, solar and other renewable energy sources. Civil and landscape design will emphasize water conservation, integrated storm water management, and low-maintenance ecologically appropriate planting design. Universal Architectural and Landscape Design The project will extend the College’s recent efforts to integrate architecture, site and landscape at QCC into a single, universally accessible design. Both the architectural and the landscape design of the project will provide internal and external pathways that avoid segregation of user groups and reliance on any of the “special” accommodations (furnishings, ramps, and signage) often encouraged by Code, and, wherever possible, exceed Code requirements.

Project Background Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) is located at 670 West Boylston St., Worcester, MA. It was established in 1963 to provide access to higher education to residents of Central Massachusetts. Since the early 60s, enrollment has grown from 300 to over 13,000 full and part-time day, weekend, and evening students served. QCC offers 70 associate degree and certificate career options in Business, Health Care, Technology, Liberal Arts, and Human Services. The College also offers a wide variety of non-credit courses, workshops, and seminars through its Division of Continuing Education at its downtown College at CitySquare campus. In addition, over 300 noncredit and nearly 150 credit courses are offered online. The College also has program locations at the Senior Center in Worcester (Hotel/Rest. Mgt.), Blackstone Valley Regional Technical High School in Upton (Automotive Technology), and at 5 Optical Drive on the grounds of the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center. The College employs 850 full and part-time faculty, administration, and staff. In September 2014, QCC will open a state-of-the-art 72,409 SF Healthcare and Workforce Development Center at 18-20 Franklin Street in Worcester with space for an estimated 1,500 students. The facility will provide real-world medical facility settings equipped with video technology for five nursing programs and Radiologic Technology, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy, Medical Assisting, and Surgical Technology programs. The College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). Membership in the Association indicates that an institution has been stringently evaluated and found to meet high standards agreed upon by qualified educators. The Site Topography provides both distinctive physical character and unique development and circulation challenges at QCC. The fifty acre campus is on a hillside that rises 104 feet from the main entrance on West Boylston Street to the Burncoat Street entrance on the east in a series of terraces and “trays” that contain most of the College’s 1,558 surface parking spaces.
