Facilities Architectural Services

Pursuant to California Government Code sections 53060 and 4525, et seq., the San Diego Unified School District ("District") is soliciting written statements of qualifications from qualified firms and persons to provide architectural services in connection with construction and major repair and modernization projects at various active K-12 school and child development center sites. Primarily, the services will support the Facilities Planning and Construction Division's bond programs. District capital improvements are funded by three General Obligation bond measures--Propositions S and Z and Measure YY. The District currently has over 130,000 students attending classes at 226 sites comprised of K-12 District and Charter schools, making it the second largest school district in California and one of the largest urban school districts in the United States. The District is planning to award several as-needed contracts covering a period of three years with up to a two-year extension. These contracts may comprise multiple projects and will be authorized by individual task order. Projects range in scope from minor repair and renovation to building replacement and new construction. Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from small businesses, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, and disabled veteran-owned businesses are encouraged. The District also seeks to promote employment and business opportunities for local residents and firms on all contracts as such opportunities may occur and to the extent legally possible. Services may include, but not be limited to, program assessment, design task force, schematic design, design development, construction documents, regulatory review administration, bid administration, construction administration, and project close-out. Design professional services offered pursuant to a design professional contract, or any amendment thereto, entered into on or after January 1, 2007, with a public agency, incorporate by reference the provisions of Civil Code section 2782.8.
