REQUEST FOR STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS AND PROPOSALS

ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN SERVICES

The San Lorenzo Unified School District (“District”) is located in Alameda County, California.

Encompassing the unincorporated area of San Lorenzo, which boundaries include areas of San

Leandro and Hayward, the District serves grades K through 12 and offers adult education, child

development, and before-and-after-school childcare programs. Current enrollment is

approximately 8,000 students.

The District operates nine (9) elementary schools, three (3) middle schools, four (4) high

schools, and one (1) adult school. The District’s centralized administrative departments are

housed in the District Office located at 15510 Usher Street, San Lorenzo, CA. In the same

location are additional non-permanent buildings that house the Maintenance, Operations, and

Transportation, Facilities and Construction, and Child Nutrition departments.

The District requests Statements of Qualifications (“SOQ”) and proposals ("SOQ Proposal" or

"Proposal") and rates from qualified California licensed architectural firms (“Firm” or “Firms”)

specializing in the K-12 public educational sector to provide architectural and engineering

services for the planning of, modernization of and construction of school facilities within the

District’s boundaries. The full scope of services shall be stated in a separate contract agreement

(“Agreement”). A template of the contract the successful firm(s) will be expected to execute is

attached as Exhibit 4.

The purpose of this Request for Statement of Qualifications and Proposals (“RFQP”) is to

provide the District with a pool of pre-qualified architects and engineers for future projects, as

well as to select a Firm to provide services for the District's Arroyo High School Re-roofing

Project ("Project"). One Firm selected through this RFQP will provide services for the Project

and may also be added to the District's architect pool for additional architectural or engineering

services during the time of the Agreement with the District. Any other selected Firms may be

added to the District’s architect pool and assigned work on an as-needed basis during the term of

the applicable Agreement with the District. Any Firm selected based on this RFQP process must

be capable of providing full architectural or engineering services through the planning, design

and construction phase of any and all selected projects. The architect or engineer will also

prepare budgets for selected projects and meet, as needed, with District staff and consultants,

school and neighborhood organizations, and upper-level District administrators.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE RFQP

The RFQP is currently posted on the District’s website at www.slzusd.org Go to Departments ->

Business Services -> Purchasing -> Scroll to Current Bids. A soft copy of the RFQP can be

requested by emailing kenya.floyd@aecom.com with copy to bdanish@slzusd.org.

The RFQP is not a low-bid price competition. Instead, qualifications will be evaluated in

accordance with the District’s Evaluation Criteria listed in this RFQP and its present needs. The

District will first evaluate each Firm’s written Proposal in accordance with the Evaluation

Criteria. Following this evaluation, the District may select one or more firms for interviews, for

either of both the architect pool or the Project, at the District's sole discretion. In the event that a

Firm is interested in performing Work for the Project, in addition to being included in the

District's architect pool, then a proposed Fee Structure for the Project ("Project Fee Structure")

shall be provided, as further described below.

The District will evaluate each Firm, with interviews for the architect pool and/or Project to

occur at the District's discretion, and retain one or more Firms on terms mutually agreeable to the

Parties.

All such Firms must be recommended to the Superintendent and the Board of Education for final

approval prior to any contract award.

SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

SOQ Proposals will only be accepted by email. Proposals are due no later than 2PM on July

31, 2026, as determined by the clock designated by the District. Proposals submitted by fax or in

person will be considered non-responsive and will not be accepted. The District reserves the

right to overlook any technicalities and accept or reject any or all submittals based on the best

interest of the District. The District reserves the right to extend this deadline by providing a

written addendum to the RFQP.

Each Firm must submit one copy of its SOQ Proposal with all materials attached into one

PDF file by email to bdanish@slzusd.org and kenya.floyd@aecom.com.

Each Firm shall be solely responsible for ensuring that its SOQ Proposal is received by the

District prior to the deadline specified in this RFQP. The District may, but shall not be required

to, consider any SOQ Proposal received by the District after the submittal deadline specified in

this RFQP.

QUESTIONS REGARDING THE RFQP

Firms interested in making a submittal are directed not to make personal contact with the

Superintendent or members of the Board of Education. Any contact will constitute grounds for

disqualification of consideration. Questions about the RFQP, its content, proposal format or

any other questions deemed necessary to submit a qualified proposal must be submitted no

later than July 17, 2026 at 2PM, via email to: Kenya Floyd at kenya.floyd@aecom.com,
