ALL RESPONSES ARE DUE BY 2:00 p.m. ON March 11, 2025. It is the sole responsibility of the Respondents to ensure that the Proposal is submitted on time to the District. Any submittal received after that date and time will not be accepted and will be returned unopened. FAXED OR EMAILED RESPONSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. 

Each submittal must conform and be responsive to the requirements set forth in this RFQ.  The District reserves the right to waive any informalities or irregularities in received submittals. Further, the District reserves the right to reject any and all submittals and to negotiate contract terms with one or more respondent firms for one or more of the work items. The District retains the sole discretion to determine issues of compliance and to determine whether a respondent is responsive, responsible, and qualified.

We are no longer taking questions. Deadline was February 27, 2025. Please see responses below:

Question 1: Can you clarify the schedule for the projects? Will all projects start immediately and run concurrently? For example, will all campus modernizations have the same construction start date, or will they be staggered?

Response 1: The schedule and phasing have not been finalized or approved yet, but for now, you can assume that all modernization, new construction, and HVAC design phases will begin soon and run in parallel. The modernization construction may be staggered, but there will likely be some overlap. As of now, we anticipate construction on two sites in years 2/3 and two sites in years 3/4. New construction and modernization at Laurel Lower will likely take place in years 3-5. HVAC construction is expected to begin as soon as the plans are approved, with construction hopefully starting in year 2.

Question 2: May we include resumes for key personnel in an Appendix?

Response 2: Including resumes for key personnel in an Appendix is acceptable.

Question 3: Please confirm blank pages (Such as those on the back side of a page preceding a divider tab) will be excluded from the page count.

Response 3: Blank pages will be excluded from the page count.
