The Tacoma School District is requesting qualifications from firms interested in providing Design/Build (D/B) services related to the TPS Clean Buildings Phase 2 Bundle project. The alternate Public Works contracting procedure authorized in RCW 39.10.300 through 39.10.330 will be utilized for this project. This project will utilize the Progressive Design/Build delivery method. Firms with previous design/build experience or experience using a similar alternative construction delivery format are encouraged to apply. During the project, the Design/Builder will receive direction from designated representatives in the Tacoma Public Schools (TPS) Planning & Construction Office and will work collaboratively as a member of a team to achieve project objectives. In addition to staff from the TPS Planning and Construction Office, the TPS team may include representatives from other District departments, the Design/Build Consultant (Parametrix) and other TPS consultants. The District desires to assess their current facilities and implement measures to increase the energy efficiency and performance of multiple facilities throughout the District. The Work is being driven by the State of Washington Clean Buildings Act and the Clean Buildings Performance Standards (WAC 194-50). The Design-Builder will be tasked with a full range of design and construction services to achieve this goal. The successful Design-Builder will work closely and collaboratively with the District's Project Manager, Planning and Construction staff and Maintenance and Operations staff. The Design-Builder will also be required to work in conjunction with local utilities, Puget Sound Energy and Tacoma Power.
