Design-Build Tenant Improvement Project for 140 Marine View Ave

The Santa Fe Irrigation District is soliciting proposals for Owner's Representative and bridging-document services for a design-build tenant improvement project at 140 Marine View Avenue, Solana Beach, California, with proposals due September 18, 2026 and a pre-proposal meeting on September 10 at 10:00 a.m. at the project site.

The scope covers approximately 10,000 square feet of the 16,000-square-foot building for District administrative and customer-service functions. Services include confirming space programming, developing Owner's Project Requirements, assisting with Design-Builder procurement, design validation, GMP evaluation, construction-phase management, and closeout coordination. The work spans an anticipated 6 to 8 months through late summer or early fall 2027. Minimum qualifications require at least five years of experience providing owner's representative, project management, or construction-management services for commercial or institutional tenant improvement projects; familiarity with public agency procurement requirements; and assigned key personnel with comparable project experience.

The estimated construction budget for tenant improvements ranges from $2 million to $3 million, exclusive of Owner's Representative fees, permitting, and furniture and equipment. Proposers must submit detailed cost proposals with hourly rates, reimbursable expenses, and fee assumptions on a provided format.

Evaluation is weighted as follows: firm and key personnel qualifications (30 percent), understanding of project scope and approach (20 percent), relevant experience of assigned Owner's Representative or project manager (20 percent), references and past performance (15 percent), and fee proposal and value (15 percent). Award will be based on best overall value rather than lowest cost alone. Questions are due by noon on September 14, 2026. The anticipated Board recommendation for contract award is October 15, 2026. Selected consultants must sign the District's Standard Professional Services Agreement and provide required insurance documentation within seven calendar days of selection.
