The successful firm is also expected to provide the District assistance in developing the full scope of the District’s construction program and Project.
The scope of the Project is not yet fully determined. Proposing firms are expected to evaluate the District’s facilities immediately and assist in developing the Project program and pre-bond planning.
However, Attachment “D” provides a brief description of what the District envisions for the Project at this time. The District expects to pay for the Project through voted bonds that will be placed on the ballot at a future election.
The District expects that it will use a Construction Manager-Constructor for this Project. The District reserves the right, however, to modify the form of delivery method prior to the execution of an agreement between the selected architect and District based on the proposals submitted. Unless the District modifies the project delivery method, the form of agreement between the selected bidder and the District will be as set forth in Attachment “A,” hereto, which is premised on AIA Document B133
– 2019 Edition. For the purpose of this RFP, the terms “proposal” and “bid” shall be treated as one and the same.
The District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to make any award that it considers to be in the best interest of the District.
