Qualified proposers must demonstrate a minimum of five years of continuous construction experience with completion of at least two comparable projects within the last five years, bonding capacity for 100% Performance and Payment Bonds up to $1,936,600, current Oregon Construction Contractors Board registration, availability of key personnel throughout the project duration, and compliance with prevailing wage rates per ORS 279C.800-279C.870. The evaluation committee will assess proposals using an 100-point scoring system based on firm experience (15 points), CM/GC and related experience (15 points), key personnel experience (20 points), overall project understanding and approach (15 points), scheduling approach (5 points), cost control (15 points), fee (10 points), and references (5 points). Critical dates include a mandatory pre-proposal conference on March 13, 2026, at 11:00 AM with a voluntary site tour, a written questions deadline of March 19, 2026, at 4:00 PM PST with addenda issued March 20, 2026, proposal submission deadline of March 27, 2026, at 4:00 PM, interviews with the top three finalists on approximately March 30, 2026, and a Scio School Board approval recommendation scheduled for April 16, 2026, with design finalization and Guaranteed Maximum Price determination anticipated for February 2027 and construction scheduled from June through September 2027.
