INTRODUCTION

Center Joint Unified School District (District) invites interested Design-Build Entities to submit a Statement of

Qualifications (“SOQ”) for the purpose of pre-qualifying proposers for design and construction of the new Sierra

Vista Elementary School (Project) in Roseville, California. The District intends to use the Progressive or

Collaborative style of design-build.

This Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) is the first of a two-step process to select a Design-Build Entity for the

Project. First, all interested Design-Build Entities (“Respondents”) must submit an SOQ on the form and in the

format provided by the District. After the SOQs have been evaluated, the District will select/short-list up to five of the

highest rated Respondents to receive a Request for Proposals (“RFP”). Second, the District will evaluate the

Proposals submitted in response to the RFP to identify the successful Design-Build Entity to whom the design-build

contract for the Project will be awarded based on a determination of which Proposal provides the Best Value to the

District for the Project. Only Respondents that are short-listed, including but not limited to the requirements

for use of a skilled and trained workforce pursuant to Public Contract Code sections 2600 to 2602, will be

eligible to submit a proposal in response to the RFP. A more detailed description of the selection process is set

forth in Section VII below.

The District reserves the right to find any SOQ that is incomplete or otherwise fails to respond to all requirements

of this RFQ non-responsive, and to give it no further consideration. The District also reserves the right to request

clarification and/or additional information from any Respondent.

Except as provided, communication with the District or any Center Joint Unified School District’s Board member or

employee, with regard to the substance of the RFQ or any SOQ is prohibited.

Neither this RFQ nor the identification of qualified Respondents for any purpose creates any obligation whatsoever,

either express or implied, for the District to award any contract. Neither this RFQ nor the identification of qualified

Respondents pursuant hereto will apply to, or operate to deem a Respondent qualified for any other District project,

contract or other purpose.

II.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A new Elementary School for 800 students is required for Center Joint Unified School District . The District desires

to use the Design-Build approach for this Project. The Goals of the Project are (1) to achieve a design which can be

quickly approved by DSA to allow early application to the State Allocation Board and Office of Public School

Construction for State Facility Plan funding and (2) to achieve high quality but economical facilities. The District’s

Educational Specifications anticipate flexible learning spaces to support student education.

The school will be built on a new 12 acre site served by existing streets on two sides. The site is located at the

corner of Vista Grande Blvd. and Silver Spruce Drive, and the parcel number is APN 499-010-095-000. The school

will include TK to 6th grade classrooms and specialty learning spaces, a multi-purpose building for indoor play and

lunch service with a warming kitchen, and support spaces for administration, counseling, faculty break room, and

PE equipment storage. The expected cost of design and construction is $65,000,000.00 for the 800-student school.

A map showing the location is attached as Exhibit A.

Statements of Qualifications are desired from teams of General Contractors, Architects of Record and

Subconsultants comprising, forming, contracting with or otherwise participating in a Design-Build Entity in relation to

the Project necessary to design the site including Civil Engineer and Landscape Architect. Although expeditious

completion of design and DSA approval is desired, The District does have a preference for single story or two story

site-built facilities but is open to considering modular, or prefabricated construction options.
