Elizabeth Vaughan Elementary School Architectural & Engineering Services for Construction Administration And Project Completion

Prince William County Public Schools is soliciting proposals under RFP S-LD-27009 for architectural and engineering services to complete the Elizabeth Vaughan Elementary School Additions and Renovation Project in Woodbridge, Virginia. Questions are due November 5, 2026, and proposals are due November 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET through the Bonfire portal. No pre-proposal conference will be held.

The A/E firm will take over an active construction project and provide construction administration, professional interpretation of the Construction Documents, design modifications and revisions when PWCS authorizes them, project closeout, and warranty-phase services. The warranty phase runs 11 months. The project is an occupied elementary school renovation and expansion covering structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, civil/site, stormwater, and technology work, with LEED Silver sustainability improvements. Construction is underway, with approximately 75 percent of construction administration services remaining. The successful offeror must hold all required Virginia professional licenses and certifications and comply with PWCS design standards, educational specifications, and construction procedures.

Pricing will be negotiated after selection. Compensation will use hourly rates by discipline, reimbursable expenses, and a maximum fee for each phase of services, as detailed in Schedule 1 of the resulting contract. The total contract amount and project budget will be set during negotiations.

Evaluation criteria are firm experience and qualifications (45 points), management and project team composition (35 points), and project approach and understanding (20 points). The RFP places particular emphasis on K-12 facilities experience, occupied school renovations, phased construction, and construction administration. PWCS will conduct informal interviews with two or more top-ranked offerors, with oral presentations as a possible component, before negotiating with the highest-ranked firm. Award is anticipated in January 2027.
