The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) is seeking a Program Management Services provider for its Bond Program through RFP No. 24-03, covering construction and development initiatives across nine college campuses funded by Propositions A and AA, and Measures J, CC, and LA. The procurement aims to select a qualified firm to provide comprehensive program management services, including integration management, scope management, quality assurance, risk management, and other critical functional areas for the district's bond-funded construction program. The successful proposer must provide six mandatory key positions, develop a comprehensive Program Management Plan, and demonstrate expertise in real property, student housing, and asset management. Evaluation will be based on technical qualifications, experience, approach, company culture, and claims history, with a scoring process involving a technical proposal review and interviews with short-listed proposers. Key dates include a mandatory pre-proposal conference on March 13, 2024, at West Los Angeles College, with proposal questions due by March 19, 2024, and final proposals due on April 15, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. The district anticipates awarding the contract on June 12, 2024, with an initial two-year term and potential annual renewals up to a maximum of five years.

The LACCD is committed to maximizing participation of Local, Small, Emerging, and Disabled-Veteran (LSEDV) owned businesses and requires the Program Manager to provide 20 paid internships for currently-enrolled District students. The RFP includes maximum compensation limitations of $97 million for Program Management Fees and $4 million for Reimbursable Expenses over the five-year term. Proposers must submit one paper original and seven paper copies, along with an electronic copy on CD, flash drive, or similar storage device. Strict communication protocols are in place, with all inquiries directed to Dorothea Mc Farline, the District Procurement Manager, and unauthorized communications potentially resulting in disqualification. The procurement follows a three-phase process involving technical proposal evaluations, interviews, and potential negotiations. Proposals must remain firm offers subject to LACCD acceptance and cannot be withdrawn for 120 calendar days following the submission deadline. The contract will support the district's $14.9 billion investment in facility improvements across its nine colleges, which serve approximately 230,000 students annually.
