APA 2026-04 EAGLE MOUNTAIN K-6 CAMPUS

SCOPE OF WORK – DESIGN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Project ID: 26-EM-K6DES Revised August 26, 2026 Site: Approximately 8 acres within the Oquirrh Wood Ranch development, Eagle Mountain, Utah County, Utah.

The legal description, preliminary plat, site plan, ALTA survey and geotechnical materials are posted to Bonfire.

BACKGROUND

In February 2026, the Utah State Charter School Board approved Utah Charter Academies (UCA) to add a campus in Eagle Mountain, Utah. American Preparatory Academy – Eagle Mountain is planned to open in the fall of 2028 as a K-6 campus housing 630 students.

UCA has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated June 2, 2026, as amended, with Oquirrh Wood Ranch, LLC for the acquisition of approximately eight (8) acres of land. Acquisition of the parcel closed on August 25, 2026.

Construction of the roadway and other horizontal improvements serving the parcel is a post-closing obligation of the seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, with an outside completion deadline of March 30, 2027. The design team must coordinate site and civil design with those seller-performed improvements.

The design, acquisition, construction, equipping and furnishing of the campus is being financed in part with the proceeds of Charter School Revenue Bonds, Series 2026, issued by the Utah Charter School Finance Authority.

PROJECT PROGRAM

The Eagle Mountain campus will be a two-story building of approximately 62,324 gross square feet, including:

Twenty-one (21) classrooms — three (3) classrooms for each grade, K through 6 Gymnasium Multipurpose room Music room Breakout classrooms for small-group instruction Administrative offices Security office Secure tech closet / comms room Tech office Special education spaces Staff workroom and break rooms Playground Parking, site circulation, and separated bus and parent drop-off

DESIGN BASIS — ADAPTATION OF UCA PROTOTYPE

The campus will utilize UCA's most recent two-story elementary school prototype design. The selected design professional is expected to adapt UCA's existing prototype to the Eagle Mountain site, code environment and jurisdictional requirements, rather than originate an entirely new building design. UCA will make its prototype documentation available to the selected firm.

Respondents should address in their Statement of Qualifications their experience adapting a client's existing prototype design to a new site, and their approach to preserving prototype consistency while resolving site-specific conditions.

SCALE-UP AND PHASING REQUIREMENT

UCA has developed a facility "scale-up" design approach that includes phases keyed to enrollment demand. The design must accommodate a reduced initial buildout — for example one (1) or two (2) classrooms per grade instead of the full three (3) per grade — with later expansion to the full configuration, without requiring redesign or replacement of core structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or life-safety systems.

The design must clearly identify the phase lines, the systems capacity reserved for future phases, and the incremental work required to complete each subsequent phase.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

The design professional shall perform all services necessary to design the project and to support its construction through Certificate of Occupancy, including but not limited to:

Programming validation and site analysis Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documents Full engineering design and consultant coordination: civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, landscape, low-voltage and technology, and acoustics as required Site and civil design, including grading, utilities, stormwater, parking and circulation, coordinated with the seller-performed horizontal improvements described above Entitlements and permitting with Eagle Mountain City, including site plan review and approval, and coordination with all applicable reviewing agencies Coordination with Utah State Board of Education requirements applicable to obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy for a public charter school facility Coordination with the project surveyor (Ensign Engineering), the geotechnical engineer, the title company, and UCA's owner's representative Cost estimating and budget reconciliation at the conclusion of each design phase, with design-to-budget recommendations where estimates exceed the construction budget Support to UCA's competitive CM/GC procurement, anticipated summer 2027, including preparation of bid documents, responses to bidder RFIs, addenda, and support of guaranteed maximum price development Construction administration, including submittal and RFI review, site observation, punch list, and closeout, through Certificate of Occupancy Record documents and warranty-phase support

CONSTRUCTION BUDGET

The design must be developed to be constructible within the construction budget established for the Eagle Mountain campus in UCA's Series 2026 bond financing:

These figures are preliminary and subject to change. UCA will execute a guaranteed maximum price contract for construction. If bids exceed the amount of bond proceeds allocated to the project, the scope will be adjusted accordingly, and the design professional will be expected to support that scope adjustment.

PROJECT SCHEDULE

The following milestone dates govern:

The design professional shall ensure all design objectives are met by the milestone dates above, and shall assist UCA in obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy from the Utah State Board of Education at completion of the project.

BOND FINANCING SUPPORT — CERTIFICATE OF CONSULTING ENGINEER

UCA's bond indenture requires certificates executed by a "Consulting Engineer," defined as an engineer affiliated with the architect or contractor for the bond-financed project. The selected design professional must have on staff, or under subconsultant agreement, at least one professional engineer licensed in the State of Utah who is able and willing to execute such certificates promptly upon UCA's request, including a certificate stating the estimated completion date of the Eagle Mountain campus.

Respondents must identify this individual by name and license number in their Statement of Qualifications.

PRE-SUBMITTAL MEETING

No pre-submittal or site meeting will be held for this solicitation. The parcel is undeveloped and is not yet served by public roadway. Site documents, including the preliminary plat, site plan, survey and geotechnical materials, are posted to Bonfire. All questions must be submitted through Bonfire by the Question / RFI Deadline stated in the RFSQ.

STANDARD OF CARE AND WARRANTY

The design professional shall perform its services consistent with the professional skill and care ordinarily provided by architects practicing in the same or similar locality under the same or similar circumstances, and as expeditiously as is consistent with such professional skill and care and the orderly progress of the project.

Any warranties required of the design professional shall exclude work completed prior to the work covered by this contract, and shall exclude the seller-performed horizontal improvements described above.
