About this opportunity
UCLA is seeking an Executive Design Professional through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Decarbonization Implementation Projects Study (Project 908073.01), targeting a comprehensive design strategy to reduce campus scope 1 emissions by 90 percent from the 2019 baseline. The procurement covers full design services for implementing multiple distinct decarbonization projects across the UCLA campus, with the goal of achieving sustainability through infrastructure modifications. Proposers must submit comprehensive qualifications demonstrating expertise in sustainable design, energy infrastructure transformation, and compliance with University of California Policy on Sustainable Practices. The selection committee will evaluate submissions using a Selection Criteria form (Attachment A), with specific emphasis on design capabilities and strategic approach to emissions reduction. The complete RFQ packet will be available on June 26, 2025, at http://www.uclaplanroom.com, with responses due by 10:00 a.m. on July 24, 2025. Respondents must create a login to access project documents and follow specific upload instructions to ensure submission validity.
The procurement appears to have an equal opportunity focus, with the university committed to ensuring fair access to contracts for all qualified firms, potentially requiring evidence of Equal Employment Opportunity policies. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the RFQ suggests a competitive selection process open to qualified design professionals with demonstrable expertise in sustainable campus infrastructure projects. The construction cost remains undetermined and will depend on project scope and phasing, with implementation contingent upon funding availability and approval from the University of California Board of Regents. The project must meet California Energy Code (Title 24) standards and achieve a minimum LEED Gold Rating, indicating a high bar for technical and environmental performance. Final selection is subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review, and the university reserves the right to defer negotiations for services beyond pre-design studies until the completion of the initial phase.
Opportunity text
ADVERTISEMENT FOR EXECUTIVE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL UCLA requests a written response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select an Executive Design Professional for the proposed campus Decarbonization Implementation Projects Study (Project 908073.01). UCLA conducted a study of campus energy infrastructure and developed a strategy for a 90 percent reduction in scope 1 emissions from fossil fuel gas use in campus energy systems from the 2019 baseline. The study, completed in 2024, outlined several scenarios for decarbonization. The recommended scenario includes the implementation of several distinct projects that, in aggregate, would achieve the desired emissions reduction. The construction cost for the project has not yet been determined and is dependent on the scope of the projects and phasing. The work may be executed in several incremental projects. The implementation of the project is dependent upon the availability of funding. The design shall comply with the University of California Policy on Sustainable Practices to achieve a minimum LEED Gold Rating. The final selection and appointment of the design professional for the proposed project are contingent upon project approval by the University of California Board of Regents or their delegated authority and per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project is subject to review and approval by the UC Board of Regents or their delegated authority. The selection committee will base its review of the Executive Design Professional's submitted proposals and selection on the Selection Criteria form (Attachment A). This RFQ is for full design services; however, the University reserves the right to defer negotiations concerning services other than pre-design studies until the completion of the pre-design phase. The design shall comply with the University of California Policy on Sustainable Practices (download from the UCLA Planroom project file ¿Documents¿ tab). The project must meet the California Energy Code (Title 24) energy efficiency standards and apply sustainability principles to the renovated building's systems, components, and portions of the renovated building. The complete RFQ packet will be available at, http://www.uclaplanroom.com on Thursday, June 26, 2025. Responses to the RFQ are due by or before 10:00 a.m. on July 24, 2025. To download the packet, you must create a login and password. Registration instructions are available at https://www.uclaplanroom.com/help/account.register. Once in the UCLA Planroom, click the "RFQ" tab and search for the project to download. Within the project "RFQ Document" tab, download (1) RFQ, (2) the Planroom RFQ-Upload Instructions, and (3) Appendix C and D Instructions. Failure to comply could result in your submission being overlooked. Every effort will be made to ensure that all persons have equal access to contracts and other business opportunities with the University within the limits imposed by law or University policy. Each Candidate Firm may be required to show evidence of its Equal Employment Opportunity policy. Peter E.
