Non Technical Summary
Due to hiring of much needed faculty, post doctoral fellows, and graduate students the University is maxed out on office space and laboratory space, as well as functional greenhouse space. Two new programs critically need expanded space. One of these new programs is the plant pathology program. This program includes developing statewide research and extension programs that are geared towards formulating fact-based diagnosis and identification of vegetable and small fruit diseases as well as providing accurate recommendations of management strategies to improve the livelihood of Missouri residents. The current satellite Extension facility is poorly suited to accommodate the needs of the clientele in the boot heel area of Missouri. This extension office serves a large number of the underserved population in this area. The existing facility only allows enough space for office work and a very small computer lab located in a converted garage. A new facility is needed with the appropriate type of spaces, rather than having to continually rent spaces from local churches and schools to implement programs.

What was accomplished under these goals? Accomplishments under Objective 1: Design of the new Dickinson Research Center began in August 2017. The consultant contract for design was awarded to PGAV Architects in the amount of $310,575.00. The design process was completed in March 2018 and bids for a General Contractor to construct the new facility were solicited in April 2019. After receiving bids from five qualified general contractors on May 23, 2019, a construction contract was awarded on December 11, 2019 for $4,535,223.00 to lowest responsible, responsive bidder, Curtis-Manes-Schulte, Inc. This contract included the demolition of the existing structure that was damaged by a fire and the new construction of a 7,185 sq. ft. facility that included laboratory space, growing rooms, and classroom space. Construction of the new facility was substantially completed in September 2021. On December 5, 2016, Lincoln University contracted with Patterhn-Ives, LLC as a consultant to design a new 6,765 sq. ft. office facility. The design phase was completed in June 2019 and bids were solicited for the construction of the new office space. Three qualified general contractors submitted bids for this project including Boulder Construction, LLC; Zoellner Construction Co Inc.; and Evrard Company, Inc. Boulder Construction was determined to be the lowest responsible, responsive bidder and was awarded a contract totaling $2,149,000.00 for the construction of the facility. Construction of the facility was subsequently completed in July 2021 for a total of $2,479,801.53 after appropriate change orders.

Target Audience:Faculty, students, public Changes/Problems:Delay with the Dickinson Research Facility project is a result of the fire. Due to no initial settlement agreement with the insurance company, plans and specifications had to be prepared to reconstruct the facility back to existing conditions. Once the bids came in higher than expected by the insurance company, they finally agreed to a settlement amount. It is unfortunate that it took so long to come to this realization. However, we are under design for a new facility. The insurance delay also created a postponement by University staff of soliciting a request for qualifications for the consultant to design the new extension facility in Sikeston, MO. Once a recommendation was reached though after going through the Request for Qualifications and interview process, NIFA received the request during the DC administration transition in December 2016/January 2017. This resulted in a delay in approval to proceed with design until the award letter of April 2017. However, this project is moving along now.

What was accomplished under these goals? For the period of 9/1/16 to 8/31/17, the following goals were accomplished: 1) The design of the addition onto Dickinson Research Center was completed in May 2015. The project was advertised for competitive bids and the bids were received on July 14, 2015. As a reminder, on July 16, 2015, Dickinson Research Center caught on fire and there was substantial damage. The University actively tried negotiating with the insurance company on the value of the damage and whether the existing facility should be razed and reconstructed or whether to rebuild. The University did not agree with the assessment and value of damage as provided by the insurance company, especially relative to the structural integrity of the building, roof damage, and plumbing/electrical damage. The University was authorized to use the same architect/engineer who had designed the expansion to prepare plans and specifications to reconstruct the facility. These plans are completed and the University solicited bids for the reconstruction. Bids were received on September 29, 2016. The bids came in higher than anticipated for the insurance company. The University began to then negotiate once again with the insurance company that with the large amount of cost to rebuild, it was desirable to raze the facility and start over. After a seven month dialogue with the insurance company, both sides finally agreed to a settlement amount in April 2017. As a result, the University entered into a third contract with the same architect/engineer to prepare plans and specifications to raze the existing structure and design a whole new facility. All of the insurance proceeds as well as the funds from this grant earmarked for this project provide the construction budget of $3.2M for the new facility. Schematic design began in June 2017. As of 8/31/17, 60% of schematic design phase was completed. The project will bid for construction costs in March/April 2018. 2) The University advertised for the qualification statements from architects and engineers for the design of the new Extension facility in Sikeston, MO. Ten companies submitted their proposals on August 4, 2016. The Consultant Selection Committee short-listed to five firms and conducted the interviews on 9/15/16. A request for approval of the recommended consultant was approved by the University's Board of Curators in November 2016 and the approval request to NIFA was sent to them in December 2016. NIFA approved the consultant 4/20/17. A kick-off meeting for the project occurred in May 2017 and approximately 80% of schematic design is completed. The project will bid for construction costs in March/April 2018.
