III. DESIGN-BUILD PROCUREMENT PROCESS

Pursuant to Education Code section 17250.62, procurement of a Design/Builder will follow

two (2) phases:

1. Prequalification – First, by this RFQ, the District will prequalify respondents using a

standard template request for statements of qualifications. The significant factors the

District reasonably expects to consider in evaluating qualifications are identified in

Section VIII, below.

2. Design-Build Proposals – Second, the District will issue an RFP, inviting only

prequalified respondents to submit competitive sealed proposals for the Project. The

District will use a best value selection method for evaluating proposals. The

procedure for final selection will be as follows:

a. The District will evaluate responsive proposals using only the criteria and

selection procedures specifically identified in the RFP.

b. The District may, at its discretion, request proposal revisions and hold

discussions and negotiations with responsive proposers. The RFP will define

applicable procedures to ensure that discussions or negotiations are

conducted in good faith.

c. The District will rank responsive proposers based on a determination of value

provided but shall not be required to rank more than three (3) proposers.

d. The District will award the contract, if at all, to the responsible Design/Builder

whose proposal is determined by the District to be the best value.

Any person or entity that has performed or is performing services for District relating to the

solicitation of this design-build project will not be eligible to submit a proposal as a

design-build entity or to join a design-build team.

IV. FULL OPPORTUNITY

No Respondent will be discriminated against on the basis of race, religious creed, color,

national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, reproductive health

decision-making, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender

identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or veteran or military status of any

person in any consideration leading to the award of the contract. District also affirmatively

ensures that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (“DBE”), Small Local Business Enterprises

(“SLBE”), Small Emerging Local Business Enterprises (“SELBE”), and Disabled Veterans

Business Enterprises (“DVBE”) shall be afforded full opportunity to respond to this RFQ.

V. LIMITATIONS

This RFQ is neither a formal request for bids, nor an offer by the District to contract with

any party responding to this RFQ. The District reserves the right to add additional

prequalified respondents for consideration after distribution of this RFQ, if it is found to be in

the best interest of the District. All decisions concerning selection of the Design/Builder will

be made in the best interests of the District. The issuing of a subsequent RFP and awarding

of the contract pursuant to the subsequent RFP, if at all, is at the sole discretion of the

District.

inspection. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law.

shall contact through any means or engage in any discussion regarding this RFQ, the

evaluation or selection process/or the award of the contract with any member of the

District, Governing Board, selection members, or any member of the Citizens’ Oversight

Committee. Any such contact shall be grounds for the disqualification of the respondent

submitting a SOQ.

VII. STANDARD TEMPLATE FOR STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS

Attached hereto as APPENDIX B is the District’s design-build prequalification template.

Respondent must complete the prequalification template, certify its answers under penalty

of perjury, and attach all information requested therein. The completed, certified

prequalification template, together with all attachments, constitutes respondent’s SOQ.

Each SOQ must be certified under penalty of perjury. If any information provided by a

respondent becomes inaccurate, the respondent must immediately notify the District and

provide updated, accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.

VIII. EVALUATION

The District will evaluate all timely submitted SOQs. Each SOQ must be complete.

Incomplete SOQs will be considered nonresponsive and grounds for disqualification. The

District retains the sole discretion to determine issues of compliance and to determine

whether a respondent is responsive and qualified.

Significant factors the District reasonably expects to consider in evaluating qualifications are

as follows:

● All required licenses and registration to design and construct the Project, with no

recent revocations or suspensions;

● Established performance history, including an absence of criminal or civil violations or

significant disputes;

● Capacity to obtain required bonds and insurance for the Project;

references identified in SOQs.

After completing its evaluation, the District will notify respondents selected for

prequalification.

waive irregularities and omissions in the information contained in any SOQ, and to make all

final determinations. The District further reserves the right to suspend or rescind

prequalification at any time based on subsequently learned information.

proposals from or to contract with any firm not participating in this process. The District

shall in no event be responsible for the cost of preparing any SOQ or other response to this

RFQ.
