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 Procurement of Design-Build Services for a new IT building, with Project Number 214-1001 MCS-2025. The RFQ solicits responses from qualified firms to provide comprehensive design-build services, including preconstruction, cost estimation, materials/equipment procurement, and construction for an approximately 16,000 square foot facility consisting of offices, server room, and warehouse storage. The project timeline indicates RFQ distribution on July 13, 2025, with a response deadline of July 28, 2025 at 2 pm. Respondents are required to submit three sets of hardcopy documents and one electronic submittal, with a short list of three firms to be determined and ranked by August 4, 2025, and a potential contract award anticipated at the Board of Education's meeting on August 11, 2025.

The RFQ encourages proposals from historically underutilized businesses (HUBs), minority- and women-owned businesses, and prioritizes resident firms in North Carolina. The selection process will evaluate submissions based on a scoring rubric with points allocated to 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 costs will be associated with the qualifications submission, and the Board will not be liable for preparation or transmittal expenses. The project may be subject to a performance and payment bond, with final agreement terms to be negotiated by Moore County Schools.
