The City of Lakewood ("City") Public Works Department is seeking qualified consultant firms (herein after referred to as "CONSULTANT") to assist the City's staff by providing consulting services during the construction of the Palms Park Community Center Improvements Project. The project includes Federal and State Grant funding sources to supplement local funding. The City is finalizing the project plans and specifications and anticipates advertising the project for construction this upcoming fall (2025), following a pre-qualification process to be led by CONSULTANT. In general, the CONSULTANT scope of services would be in the following categories during the construction of the project: A. Project Management; B. Construction Management and Inspection; C. Construction Material Testing and Inspection; D. Labor Compliance Services. The purpose of this RFP is to obtain proposals from firms interested in working as the CONSULTANT with the City of Lakewood, Public Works Department on the Palms Park Community Center Improvements project. Subject to City Council approval, the City also anticipates future additional building remodel and renovation projects of a similar nature and funding sources within the next three years. Specific consulting services for such additional projects are not included in the scope of services of this RFP. However, Proposals submitted in response to this RFP will be considered statements of qualification (SOQ) for these anticipated future similar projects and the City may utilize the SOQ for future work assignments. Certain labor categories under this project may be subject to prevailing wages as identified in the State of California Labor Code commencing in Section 1770 et. seq. These labor categories when employed for any work on or in the execution of a "Public Works" project require payment of prevailing wages. This public works construction project is also funded in whole or in part with federal funds. Accordingly, federal labor standards provisions including prevailing wage requirements of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA) will be enforced. In the event of a conflict between Federal and State prevailing wage rates, the higher of the two will prevail. The Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, apply to contractors and subcontractors performing on federally funded or assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works. Davis-Bacon Act and Related Act contractors and subcontractors must pay their laborers and mechanics employed under the contract no less than the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits for corresponding work on similar projects in the area. The Davis-Bacon Act directs the Department of Labor to determine such locally prevailing wage rates. The Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage provisions apply to the Related Acts, under which federal agencies assist construction projects through grants, loans, loan guarantees, and insurance.
