RFQ Design-Build Services for IT Building.pdf

The document is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Moore County Board of Education for Design-Build services to construct a new IT building, with Project Number 214-1001 MCS-2025. The RFQ solicits responses from qualified architectural, engineering, and construction firms to provide comprehensive design-build services for a new approximately 16,000 square foot IT facility, including preconstruction, cost estimation, materials/equipment procurement, and construction services. The RFQ distribution date is July 13, 2025, with a response deadline of July 28, 2025 at 2 pm, and anticipates selecting a short list of three firms for interview, with a contract award expected at the Board of Education's August 11, 2025 meeting.

The RFQ encourages proposals from historically underutilized businesses (HUBs), minority-, and women-owned businesses, with a strong preference for North Carolina resident firms. The selection process will use a scoring rubric evaluating firm's strength and capacity (20 points), team competence and experience (25 points), similar design-build experience (20 points), key personnel qualifications (20 points), and overall submission quality (15 points). No cost proposals are to be submitted, and the Board will not be liable for proposal preparation costs. The project requires the Design-Builder to work closely with school administration, demonstrate experience with relevant authorities, and integrate efficient traffic, civil, and stormwater design, programming, and life cycle cost analysis.
