Department of Transportation Central Office Facility Design and Construction Request for Proposals (Stage 1 & 2)

Since the construction of the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) Central Office Building in 1957, many building modifications have been made as a result of life safety upgrades, advancements in technology, and changes in Mn/DOTs operation and service roles. Mn/DOTs needs continue to change. In 1989, Mn/DOT selected a team of consultants in program development, architecture, interior architecture, human factors, technical performance, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, landscape architecture and occupational health to assist them in developing programmatic space needs and standards for a new Central Office Facility. In addition to the consultant team, an advisory board, made up of individuals representing corporations, reviewed the study and provided assistance in the study development. The results of this study are the programmatic space needs and building performance standards for a new Mn/DOT Central Office Facility which formed the basis for this Request for Proposal (RFP). The facility will include general office space, conference center, cafeteria, childcare center, wellness center, loading dock, enclosed parking, and building maintenance shop space.
