Vista Unified School District (VUSD) is requesting proposals from qualified firms to provide comprehensive construction management services for the design and construction of a variety of existing school site expansions and enhancements. Other district capital projects may also be awarded based on the submission of these proposals. These projects will be funded from the Measure LL General Obligation bond funding. The selected construction management firm ("Construction Manager") will review construction plans in detail to confirm the ability to construct projects within the schedules and provide baseline schedules/budgets as the District established in this request for proposal. The Construction Manager will be responsible for identifying all drawing and specification changes, additions, clarifications, and bid packaging which will be required prior to bid to ensure that these established schedules and budgets will be achieved, with minimal change orders during construction. The Construction Manager will conduct bidding processes for the individual Contracts required to construct these complete projects (in accordance with the Public Contract Code), provide administration oversight & coordination between their subcontractors, architect, owner, LOR, IOR & any other agencies required for design approval and final certification of the project (i.e. DSA, DEH, SDG&E, City of Vista, VID, etc.), during project construction through project closeout and the end of the warranty period. The Construction Manager will perform all offsite and agency coordination activities for these projects on behalf of the District, including but not limited to: (1) establishment and coordination of all wet and dry utility services to the on-site tie-ins, and (2) coordination of site grading, perimeter road improvements, and utility provisions of the developers providing these sites to the District. The Construction Manager will ensure a smooth completion and start-up of the constructed facilities and all associated systems and equipment sufficiently in advance of the required completion dates to ensure school staff move-in and training on the facilities prior to the start of school classes. The Construction Manager will ensure prompt warranty responses from their sub-contractors throughout the first year of occupancy (warranty period). The Method of Contractor Selection has not been determined at this time.
