The Central Point School District is seeking professional design services for a seismic rehabilitation project at Patrick Elementary School through a Request for Proposals (RFP 24-01). Located at 1500 2nd Avenue in Gold Hill, Oregon, within Jackson County, the project involves architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical design services for retrofitting a 1956 building and a 1960 gymnasium, totaling approximately 17,900 square feet. The primary objective is to meet Oregon Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program requirements through comprehensive structural assessment and retrofit design. Proposal evaluation will focus on the firm's experience with education facility renovations, seismic rehabilitation expertise, and capacity to complete design work within the project timeline. Key dates include a mandatory pre-bid meeting on April 24, 2024, with proposals due by May 15, 2024. The District plans to use a Construction Manager/General Contractor procurement method, with an anticipated design notice to proceed on June 5, 2024, and targeted substantial completion by August 22, 2025. Proposing firms must demonstrate technical competence, relevant project experience, and ability to deliver comprehensive design documentation for the seismic retrofit. The District has explicitly committed to increasing opportunities for Emerging Small Businesses, Minority-Owned Businesses, and Women-Owned Businesses on this project. While specific set-aside percentages are not detailed, the RFP indicates a preference for diverse business participation. The contract will be awarded based on a not-to-exceed amount for design services, with final compensation to be negotiated with the most qualified proposer. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and no specific budget range is explicitly stated. The procurement will utilize a qualifications-based selection process, focusing on the design firm's technical capabilities, past performance, and understanding of seismic rehabilitation requirements for educational facilities. Interested firms will need to thoroughly review the full RFP document, demonstrating their ability to provide comprehensive design services that meet the District's seismic retrofit objectives while maintaining the architectural and functional integrity of the existing school buildings.
