This is a Notice to Contractors and Request for Qualifications issued by The Trustees of The California State University for construction manager at risk services on the Admin Building Demolition Project at California State University, Los Angeles. The project involves demolishing the entire Admin Building complex from the top of the 1st floor slab to the penthouse while maintaining active basement and loading dock operations on the South side, along with abatement of all hazardous materials based on specifications from Citadel Environmental Services. The selection process utilizes a two-step approach: respondents submit Statements of Qualifications that will be reviewed by a technical committee to select no more than five finalists, who will then submit proposals in response to a Request for Proposals. Construction Manager at Risk services are divided into two phases with separate contracts issued for each: Design/Preconstruction Services Phase and Construction Phase. Design services will be performed by a separate CSU-prequalified licensed architect. The Statements of Qualifications are due by October 5, 2026, with RFQ documents available on or after August 31, 2026 through the PlanetBids Public Solicitation Portal. Respondents must be prequalified with the Trustees no less than ten business days prior to SOQ submission.

The budgeted direct construction cost for this project is $9,000,000.00. Contractor license requirements include License A or B, C-21 and C-22 licenses, and Hazmat Certification. The Trustees offer a five percent bid advantage to firms certified as "Small Business" by the Department of General Services, Office of Small Business and DVBE Services. Additionally, three percent Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation is required for all contracts. This is a public works project subject to prevailing wage rate laws, requiring all respondents, proposers, and all tiers of subcontractors to register with the Department of Industrial Relations and maintain current registration per Labor Code section 1725.5. Points of contact for information include Nato Flores at nflore90@calstatela.edu or 323-681-1645, and Pedro Diaz at pdiaz@calstatela.edu or 323-343-6930.
