Centennial Elementary School Seismic Retrofit

The Scio School District is seeking professional engineering services for a seismic rehabilitation project at Centennial Elementary School, located at 38875 NW 1st Ave, Scio, Oregon. The project involves retrofitting the original classroom wing, a 20,400 square foot single-story building constructed in 1966 and classified as an unreinforced masonry (URM) structure. The primary objective is to rehabilitate the building to meet an "Immediate Occupancy" performance standard according to ASCE 41-17 guidelines. Interested engineering firms must submit proposals by September 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a mandatory site visit and pre-proposal conference scheduled for September 3, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Evaluation criteria will include firm capabilities, project team experience, familiarity with the Oregon Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program, performance record, project approach, and local project understanding. The district will use a scoring process with weighted categories and may conduct finalist interviews. The procurement method will be either Design-Bid-Build or CM/GC, with the project anticipated to start construction in June 2026 and be completed by September 2026.

The project is funded through a Seismic Rehabilitation Grant from the Infrastructure Finance Authority: Business Oregon, with a total award of $2,443,300. Compensation will be based on a negotiated "not-to-exceed" amount, with maximum amounts allocated for individual design phases including pre-design, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, and construction administration. The RFP documents can be obtained by contacting Kim Roth at Rothk@sciok12.org or by calling 503.394.3261, with documents available for pickup on August 27, 2025, at 38729 NW Cherry Street, Scio, OR 97374.
