RFQ for Project Management Services

The Gervais School District in Oregon is seeking project management services through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to support extensive school infrastructure improvements. The district will be implementing renovation and construction projects funded by a $28.13 million bond levy, a $6 million OCSIM matching grant, and a $250,000 CTE Revitalization Grant. Specific project scopes include comprehensive renovations across multiple school buildings, involving roof replacements, window replacements, HVAC and electrical system upgrades, and constructing a new building with classrooms, cafeteria, and science labs. A mandatory pre-proposal conference was held on June 12, 2024, with proposals due by June 24, 2024 at 12:00 PM. The evaluation criteria will assess proposers' work history, experience with Oregon K-12 projects, project scheduling and cost control capabilities, firm/team knowledge, references, key personnel qualifications, project leadership, and efforts towards equity in public contracting. The district may award one or multiple contracts to qualified firms based on these comprehensive evaluation criteria.

The RFQ does not specify any explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, indicating an open competitive process. Pricing information will be reviewed post-award and used as the basis for contract negotiations, with successful proposers required to provide various insurance coverages and comply with applicable laws and regulations. While no incumbent vendors are specifically identified, the project represents a significant investment in educational infrastructure totaling approximately $34.38 million across multiple funding sources. The successful project management firm(s) will be expected to integrate with existing school district operations and manage complex renovation and construction projects. Proposers will need to demonstrate substantial experience in educational facility management, strong project scheduling capabilities, and a proven track record of successful K-12 infrastructure improvements in Oregon. The contract terms will include the district's standard conditions, with the potential for comprehensive project management services spanning multiple school facilities and construction phases.
