Centennial School District 28J in Portland, Oregon is requesting proposals for structural engineering services to support seismic rehabilitation of Parklane Elementary School, with proposals due July 10, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. PT. The project is funded through a $2.5 million Oregon Seismic Rehabilitation Grant for K-12 Facilities with an assumed construction budget of $1.77 million. The District encourages participation by minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses, though no hard set-asides are stated.

The scope encompasses comprehensive design and construction administration services for seismic rehabilitation of a portion of the facility, including project assessment, preliminary design, schematic design development through construction documents, construction phase administration, and post-construction closeout. Design documents must be completed and ready for permit by February 28, 2027, with construction scheduled from May 15, 2027 through September 1, 2027. The consultant must maintain professional liability insurance with limits of $2 million per claim and $3 million annual aggregate, comprehensive general liability coverage of $2 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, and commercial automobile liability of $1.5 million combined single limit.

The contract term is three years with renewal options available, not to exceed five years total. Compensation will be determined through fee negotiations following selection, structured as either a fixed lump-sum fee or hourly rates not to exceed an established cap, plus reimbursable expenses at 1.1 times actual costs for pre-authorized travel, mileage, and reproduction.

Evaluation emphasizes project leadership (15 points), experience with Oregon seismic rehabilitation K-12 projects (10 points), key personnel and staffing (10 points), cost control and budget adherence (10 points), and project scheduling capability (10 points), among other criteria totaling 80 possible points. A non-mandatory virtual pre-proposal conference is scheduled for June 23, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. via Zoom. The Notice of Intent to Award is anticipated for the week of July 27, 2026, with contract execution by August 10, 2026 and project start date of August 10, 2026.
