Notes
The University of Kansas invites responses from qualified architectural and planning teams to refine and advance the master planning vision for the 101 year-old Watson Library, KU Libraries’ historic flagship facility on the Lawrence campus. As Watson Library enters its second century, we seek visionary collaborators to help realize a bold transformation from a traditional academic research library to a dynamic center of intellectual engagement, campus and community partnership, and scholarly creation.
Please start your review of the Watson Library Master Plan by first reading the RFQ Scope of Work (SOW) in the Attachments tab. The RFQ SOW provides high-level details about our evaluation, including the evaluation criteria. Next, you should read the RFP Instructions, which are also located in the Attachments section.
After you review those materials, prepare your submission by working through each tab from left-to-right here in ION WAVE. Most responses to this RFP will be addressed in the Attributes tab. Any requested documentation should be uploaded in the Response Attachments tab.
Please Note: All required (i.e. red-starred) fields must be completed to submit a bid successfully.
Questions about the commodity, requirements, or the evaluation process itself should be directed to the assigned Procurement Officer identified in the Bid Contact Info area in this tab.
Thank you for your interest in participating in this evaluation, and good luck!
