I. Introduction

Wake County is one of the fastest growing counties in the United States. With its economic

opportunities, high quality of life, and numerous educational institutions, Wake County

attracts people from across the country and around the globe, increasing the population by

66 people per day. This signiﬁcant population growth has increased the demand on local

public health and safety infrastructure, speciﬁcally increasing the demand for medicolegal

examination services.

Wake County expects to continue to experience signiﬁcant population growth over the next

30 years. In response, Wake County has updated its infrastructure plan to include a

medical examiner facility.

II. Project Overview

The medical examiner facility needs to address a 30-year growth projection for

administrative, morgue, examination, and building support functions to the year 2060.

Initial studies recommend a dedicated medical examiner facility on a parcel of land

approximately 5-6 acres with a building that is between 23,000 and 30,000 square feet. The

purpose-built facility will include office and meeting space, collaboration space, laboratory

area, wellness and support space, emergency power, and other programmatic areas. The

site development will include secure staff parking, circulation drive, mass casualty truck

area, sallyport delivery zone, and other improvements that are required for the speciﬁc

location. See concept site plan below.

III. Project Funding

The construction costs estimated for this project including site development, building

construction, furniture, ﬁxtures, equipment, and signage is approximately $43 million. The

funding for this project has been identiﬁed in the County’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)

budget process.

Land acquisition for the medical examiner facility is in process and site evaluations are

considered part of this Project’s scope of work.

IV. Project Timeline

Below is a preliminary timeline of the medical examiner facility program.

V. Request

Wake County Government hereby requests qualiﬁcation packages from architectural and

engineering consultant ﬁrms to provide all architectural and engineering services required

to satisfactorily complete all phases of Project within the time limitations as negotiated at

time of award. The architect shall take the lead project management role of the design

team. In addition to building and site design, services will include community outreach,

landscape design, and interior design (modular workstations, furniture, signage, ﬁnishes,

etc.), and building systems design (plumbing, mechanical, electrical, ﬁre protection, and

structured cabling). In addition, ﬁrms may choose to retain specialized expertise to advise

on the design and construction of this project.
