BACKGROUND

The District is located in Alameda County and serves over 4,600 students in the city of

Newark with one comprehensive high school, a continuation high school, one middle school

and six elementary schools. Briefly stated, the District is seeking experienced and proven

firms to provide program and construction management services for District’s Measure O

Bond Program and projects thereunder. This RFQ/P defines the services sought and

generally outlines the District’s requirements.

II. SCOPE OF SERVICES

Any firm selected based on this RFQ/P process must be capable of providing full program and

construction management services through all phases of any and all selected projects under

the Measure O Bond Program in accordance with District’s form of Agreement for Program

and Construction Management Services (“Agreement”), attached hereto as APPENDIX A.

It is vital that the selected firm(s) have the ability to work cooperatively and effectively with

the District’s Board of Education (“Board”), the Superintendent, District staff, the various

school site planning committees, and the community. The District places great emphasis on

facilitation and communication with all of its stakeholders. The firm(s) retained by the District

will be part of the District team and will be expected to operate in a team environment.

III. LIMITATIONS

The District reserves the right to contract with any person or entity responding to this RFQ/P.

The District makes no representation that participation in the RFQ/P process will lead to an

award of contract or any consideration whatsoever. The District shall in no event be

responsible for the cost of preparing a response to this RFQ/P.

The Submittals and any other supporting materials submitted to the District in response to

this RFQ/P, will not be returned and will become the property of the District unless portions

of the material are designated as proprietary at the time of the Submittal and are specifically

requested to be returned. Vague designations and/or blanket statements regarding entire

pages or documents are insufficient and will not bind the District to protect the designated

matter from disclosure. Pursuant to Michaelis, Montanari, & Johnson v. Superior Court (2006)

38 Cal.4th 1065, Submittals shall be held confidential by the District and shall not be subject

to disclosure under the California Public Records Act until after either: (1) the District and the

successful Respondent have completed negotiations and entered into an agreement, or (2)

the District has rejected all Submittals. Furthermore, the District will have no liability to the

Respondent or other party as a result of any public disclosure of any Submittal.

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 in any consideration

leading to the award of the contract. The District hereby affirmatively ensures that

employee, representative, agent, or consultant representing such a person or entity, shall
