UCLA Non-Project Specific | Building Information Modeling Consultant

ADVERTISEMENT FOR BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING CONSULTANT

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), requests a written response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select a consultant to provide Building Information Modeling (BIM) services, including organizing, updating, and consolidating 3D Revit models using the Autodesk Construction Cloud; collaborating with Architect, Engineer, and Contractor (AEC) teams to manage live project updates; providing on-going Revit model management; developing, managing and enforcing BIM standards; and providing ongoing BIM consultation and training to ensure compliance and best practices for various non-specific UCLA Health projects for new or existing buildings and locations.

The selected consultant will perform work under a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with the
University, with authorizations for specific assignments from the Medical Center executed as necessary over the term of the agreement, which may be up to five years. The scope of services will vary according to the specific requirements of each assigned task, with appropriate fees negotiated per UCLA policy at the time of each authorization.

The selected consultant will demonstrate a proven ability in BIM management for complex healthcare facilities or similar environments; experience collaborating in multi-stakeholder environments, ensuring seamless integration across project teams; proficiency in Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, Construction Cloud, and point cloud processing tools; strong knowledge of BIM standards and experience implementing them; ability to provide consulting and training services; and communication and technology management capabilities.

The requested work may be executed in several individual projects, and the scope of services will vary according to the specific requirements of each project or assigned task, with appropriate fees negotiated in accordance with UCLA policy at the time of each authorization. The consultant can anticipate aggregate fees ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000 over the term of the PSA, with an option to extend the fee limit by an additional $1,000,000 should the contract duration be extended. However, the selection of any consultant for this project does not guarantee that the fees for that value will be expended.

The final selection and appointment of the Building Information Modeling Consultant is contingent upon project approval by the University of California Board of Regents or their delegated authority.  The selection committee will base their review of the Building Information Modeling Consultant¿s submitted proposal and selection on the Selection Criteria form (Attachment A).
