2026-11-03

1 . Utilities Inventory and Assessment • Conduct a comprehensive existing conditions assessment supported by quantitative analysis , including but not limited to : o Utilization metrics o Infrastructure capacity and documented system conditions . o Existing system constraints and development capacity analysis o Establish documented baseline metrics o Clearly document data sources , assumptions , methodologies , and analytical tools used . o Leverage existing data , reports , and studies to evaluate each system ’ s ownership , physical condition , capacity , reliability , serviceability , and functional constraints . 2 . Stakeholder Engagement and Operational Analysis • Facilitate broad engagement with plan stakeholders including ( but not limited to ): o Sustainability o Campus Operations departments ( Plant Operations , Landscape & Grounds , Building Services , Emergency Management , etc .) o Event & Venue Management ( EVM ) o University Information Technology Services o Planning Design & Construction ( Campus Planning , Design & Construction , Real Estate ) o Environmental Health & Safety • Lead structured conversations around opportunities and constraints related to campus landscape development . 3 . Needs Analysis • Analyze current and projected demand across campus locations . • Integrate findings from stakeholder interviews and engagement . • Analyze existing data , design standards and reports . 4 . Strategic Alignment and Prioritization • Evaluate existing and proposed projects to define a prioritization framework that reflects the goals outlined in the University Strategic Plan and alignment with the KSU Campus Master Plan . Evaluate opportunities to enhance the sustainability of the campus utilities in alignment with the KSU Sustainability Master Plan . 5 . Plan Development • The Consultant shall develop a data - driven , technically supported Utilities Plan that establishes measurable baselines , evaluates alternatives using defensible methodologies , and provides an adaptable decision - making framework for long - term implementation . o Develop programmatic and infrastructure demand forecasts using transparent , defensible assumptions . o Prepare multiple growth and funding scenarios ( e . g ., low , moderate , high growth ; constrained funding ; accelerated investment ). o Quantify projected impacts of each scenario on capital investment , infrastructure systems , and operational performance . o Provide sensitivity analyses to illustrate risk factors and key variables . o Recommend short -, medium -, and long - term design strategies that address prioritization of system upgrades to implement over time . o Include guidance on alternate strategies for development to accommodate evolving funding availability and programmatic needs . o Evaluate alternative development strategies using measurable criteria , including capital cost , life - cycle cost , operational efficiency , institutional impact , phasing feasibility , risk profile o Provide comparative matrices summarizing advantages , trade - offs , and quantified impacts of alternatives . o Develop a phased implementation framework that remains adaptable to evolving funding availability , institutional priorities , and programmatic changes . o Provide guidance on triggers or decision thresholds that initiate future phases .
