Engineering Services for Seismic Rehabilitation

The Lincoln County School District in Oregon is seeking engineering services for the Yaquina View Elementary School Phase 2 Seismic Rehabilitation project through a Request for Proposals (RFP). The procurement is specifically focused on conducting a comprehensive seismic evaluation and rehabilitation of a school building constructed in the 1960s, with the primary objective of achieving an "Immediate Occupancy" classification. Qualified engineering firms are required to be licensed to practice in Oregon and must demonstrate expertise in seismic rehabilitation design. The proposal evaluation will assess firms based on criteria including firm capabilities, project team composition, experience with the Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program, performance history, and project approach, with a total possible score of 100 points. Key project dates include an optional pre-proposal conference on July 22, 2025, proposal submissions due on July 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM, and potential interviews with the selection committee on August 5, 2025. The project timeline anticipates construction starting on June 15, 2026, with completion expected by September 1, 2026.

The district has a strong commitment to increasing opportunities for Emerging Small Businesses and Minority and Women-Owned Businesses, encouraging proposers to utilize these types of enterprises in their project teams. The Seismic Rehabilitation Grant provides funding of $2,493,860 for design and construction, with compensation structured as a "not-to-exceed" amount covering services and reimbursable expenses. Specific maximum compensation amounts are defined for different design phases, including pre-design, schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, and construction administration. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears designed to be competitive and inclusive, with particular emphasis on supporting diverse and smaller business participation. The project represents a significant investment in educational infrastructure resilience, focusing on seismic safety improvements for a mid-20th century school facility.
