The District is an extremely high performing district in a very active, supportive, and educated community. Currently more than 5,100 students are served in three comprehensive high schools and two alternative programs. In addition, the Adult and Community Education courses attract hundreds of community members each year. Briefly stated, the District is seeking experienced and proven design professionals to provide planning, programming and design services on an as-needed basis for projects. This RFQ defines the architectural services sought and generally outlines the District's requirements. The District intends to select multiple pools, based on project size, of qualified firms for future consideration to provide architectural services for certain future projects. The District will maintain three (3) pools of qualified architectural firm applicants. The District intends to select three (3) pools of architectural firms that would be pre-qualified for selection of specific projects. The first pool shall qualify architectural firms for projects in excess of Fifty Million dollars ($50,000,000) in estimated construction value. The second pool shall be pre-qualified for projects with an estimated construction value between Five Million dollars ($5,000,000) and Fifty Million dollars ($50,000,000). The third pool shall be pre-qualified for projects with an estimated construction value under Five Million dollars ($5,000,000). Requests for recertification may be sent every two (2) years. Firms who do not reply to the request for recertification may be deleted from the pools of prequalified firms, at the sole discretion of the District. Additional firms may be added to the pools, at the District's sole discretion, as the District determines the need for additional services. Any firm selected based on this RFQ process must be capable of providing full architectural services through the design and construction phases of any and all selected projects. The architect will also prepare budgets for selected projects and meet, as needed, with District staff and consultants, school and neighborhood organizations, and upper-level District administrators. The submittals and any other supporting materials submitted to the District in response to this RFQ will not be returned and will become the District's property unless portions of the material are designated as proprietary at the time of submittal and are specifically requested to be returned. Vague designations and/or blanket statements regarding entire pages or documents are insufficient and will not bind the District to protect the designated matter from disclosure. Pursuant to Michaelis, Montanari, & Johnson v. Superior Court (2006) 38 Cal.4th 1065, submittals shall be held confidential by the District and shall not be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act until after either: (1) the District and the successful respondent have completed negotiations and entered into an agreement, or (2) the District has rejected all respondents. Furthermore, the District will have no liability to the respondent or any other party as a result of any public disclosure of any submittal or supporting material. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
