This file comprises a Request for Qualification (RFQ) and related contract documents for design-build services issued by the City of Dallas, specifically for roof replacement and water infiltration mitigation projects at the Bath House Cultural Center (BHCC) and South Dallas Cultural Center (SDCC). The City of Dallas, through its Office of Bond and Construction Management, is soliciting Qualification Statements from registered City of Dallas vendors to provide architectural, engineering, and construction services for these two facilities. The design-build contract requires the selected contractor to perform both design services and all construction work necessary to render the projects fully operational and functionally usable. The contract documents specify requirements for design schedules, preliminary and detailed design phases, and construction supervision, with all design services and construction work to be completed within established contract timeframes and a fixed Project Construction Budget. The contractor must submit comprehensive design packages including preliminary drawings, specifications for all systems, material descriptions, and detailed as-built documentation upon completion.
