RFP - Construction Inspection Services

California State University, Chico is seeking the services of a qualified firm to provide inspection services for the major capital project described below. Duties shall be consistent with the requirements of the 2019 California Building Code and as described herein. Final sequencing and schedule will be coordinated with CSU, Chico and the Contractor. Note: the Firm selected to provide Materials Testing Services for the project will not be selected to provide Construction Inspector Services on that same project. The intent is that, for each project, one firm will provide the IOR and a separate firm will provide the materials testing lab (MTL) services, which typically includes providing special inspectors. The IOR, when not otherwise in demand, will be expected to perform special inspections to minimize unnecessary doubling up on coverage. The California State University, Chico, Behavioral and Social Sciences Building project consists of one building which will serve as a new academic building on campus. The building is steel construction, three stories tall and 95,000 GSF total. Building exterior features include thin brick, aluminum composite metal panels, cast in place concrete, and glazing. The occupied floors are predominantly comprised of classrooms, offices, conference rooms, special instruction rooms, and open collaborative student spaces. Construction is Type II-A, fully sprinklered. The building contains mixed A-2, A-3, F-1, and B occupancies and is a Risk Category III. The project is using the CSU Collaborative Design Build (CDB) process having Turner Construction as the selected DB contractor. The building construction cost is estimated at $76 million dollars and is to be constructed to LEED "Silver", minimum. Construction will begin September 2022 with anticipated completion May of 2024. Should any work under this contract be performed by workers in the classifications covered by prevailing wage laws, they shall be paid not less than the prevailing wage for the craft or work they perform as determined by the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE). The prevailing wage obligation applies to working partners, sole proprietors or owner/operators as well as employees of the service provider and its subcontractors. Technical questions or questions regarding RFP submission should be directed to Michael McNairn, Procurement & Contract Services, Email: mjmcnairn@csuchico.edu.
