The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority is seeking architectural and engineering design services for the replacement of the ETFE roof at U. S. Bank Stadium, damaged by a hailstorm. The initial scope is for conceptual design, with full design services to be determined later. Proposals are due June 25, 2026. Key qualifications include experience with ETFE or similar roof systems, stadium design, and sustainable practices. Proposers must also demonstrate efforts to comply with minority and women-owned business enterprise goals.
Proposals are due June 25, 2026, 4:00 p. m. The timeline for design services completion will be negotiated with the selected proposer.
Payments to the architect will be made within thirty (30) days of the authority's receipt and approval of an application for payment. A five percent (5. 00%) retainage will be held for each design phase until completion.
The design services should ensure a 20-year lifespan for the roofing system. The architect is responsible for corrections to design documents due to negligent errors or omissions.
The authority will consider the proposer's commitment to good faith efforts to comply with plans for equitable opportunities for minority-owned business enterprises (MBE) and women-owned business enterprises (WBE).
Proposers must have significant experience in architectural design, engineering, and coordination of projects with ETFE roof systems or similar, a minimum of ten (10) years of design experience with stadiums/professional sports facilities, and demonstrated sustainable design experience.
If delays in design services are due to the architect's negligence and cause delays in construction, the architect shall be solely responsible for damages proximately caused by the negligent delay.
