Bringing stability and care engineering solutions to your most important institutional structures.
Institutional buildings are the foundations of our communities and include facilities such as schools, hospitals, museums, cultural centers, airports, and courthouses. With the varying use and appearance of these buildings, the design and materials used can be very diverse. BLE’s multidisciplinary team has the experience and expertise necessary to support institutional clients from the early planning stages through design and construction.
Our Comprehensive List of Institutional Engineering Solutions
Our expert knowledge makes us a reliable partner for campus planning. BLE has vast institutional experience in new construction and renovation projects including campus housing, stadiums, parking garages, administrative buildings, and state-of-the-art medical complexes. Whether you are planning a single building expansion or an entirely new campus, BLE’s engineering solutions has the capability to take on small and large-scale projects.
Similar to infrastructure projects, funding for institutional projects often involve multiple parties. While the funding could be solely private or public, it may also involve a Public-Private Partnership. This type of joint venture allows for shared use and shared cost, ultimately benefiting the common community.
When working with government-owned institutional entities, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity Contracts are common. Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity Contracts are awarded to a qualified vendor when the GSA is unable to determine, above a specified minimum, the precise quantities of supplies or services the government will require during the contract period. BLE has been awarded many IDCs and has extensive expertise with working on public projects within these stringent qualifying standards.
