Site work and paving for a sidewalk / parking lot in Los Angeles, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

UCLA requests a written response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select one or two Executive Architect(s) for two separate projects with similar scopes of work for Parking Structure 3 South, Level 5 Waterproofing Installation (Project # 907097.01) and Parking Structure 9, Level 6 Waterproofing Installation (Project # 907095.01). The projects will include installing a top deck waterproofing system and program improvements. Parking Structure 3 (PS3) is located at 215 Charles E. Young Drive North, and Parking Structure 9 (PS9) is located at 675 Charles E. Young Drive South, on the main campus. PS3 South, constructed in 1963, is a 5-level rectangular structure separated into two segments by seismic joints. Overall plan dimensions of the building are approximately 186.5 feet by 366 feet in the north-south and east-west directions, respectively. PS9 is a 6-level structure with a rectangular shape and is separated into three segments by seismic joints. Overall plan dimensions of the building are approximately 186 feet by 546 feet in the north-south and east-west directions, respectively. Segments 1, 2, and 3 are 208 feet, 181 feet, and 156 feet in the east-west direction, respectively. The approximate year of construction was 1964. Structure upgrades include designing and installing a complete waterproofing system for PS3 South, Level 5, and PS9, Level 6. The program scope will consist of a parking plan study to determine if additional parking spaces can be added. Following the completion of this project, there will be a separate project to install photovoltaic panels on the parking structures. The waterproofing system's design must allow for the waterproofing of the vertical support elements supporting the new PV panel system. The construction costs for the projects have not yet been determined and are dependent upon phasing. The work may be executed in several incremental projects. It is anticipated to be $1 to $1.5 million for PS3 and $1 to $1.5 million for PS9, depending on the agreed-upon scope of work. The design shall comply with the University of California Policy on Sustainable Practices. The University may select one architectural firm to consult on both assignments or two architectural firms to consult on one of the two advertised assignments with the University. Each design Professional consultant selected will perform work under a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) negotiated with the University, with authorizations for assignment(s)s from UCLA Facilities Management. The scope of services may vary according to the specific requirements of each assigned task, with appropriate fees negotiated under UCLA policy at the time of each authorization. The final selection and appointment of the architect(s) for the proposed project are contingent upon project approval by the University of California Board of Regents or their delegated authority and per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The projects are subject to review and approval by the UC Board of Regents or their delegated authority. The selection committee will base their review of the Executive Architect's submitted proposals and selection on the Selection Criteria form (Attachment A). This RFQ is for full design services; however, the University reserves the right to defer negotiations concerning services other than pre-design studies until the completion of the pre-design phase. A screening committee will determine a shortlist of firms; further steps in the selection process will be at the selection committee's discretion. Every effort will be made to ensure that all persons have equal access to contracts and other business opportunities with the University within the limits imposed by law or University policy. Each Candidate Firm may be required to show evidence of its Equal Employment Opportunity policy.
