Renovation of a medical facility in Los Angeles, California. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a medical facility.

UCLA requests a written response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select an Executive Architect for multiple interior, seismic, building systems, wayfinding, and landscaping upgrade projects to the recently acquired Medical Office Buildings (MOB) located at 7301, 7325, and 7345 Medical Center Drive in West Hills, CA 91307. UCLA Health proposes to select an architect to plan several projects, including the structural improvements to all three Medical Office Buildings located directly adjacent to the UCLA West Valley Medical Center. The seismic and interior improvements to the MOBs will support the long-term operation and development of the UCLA West Valley Medical Center Campus. This selection is for projects initiated through 2029. Renovations will include both building and program improvements. Building upgrades include seismic improvements, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire-life safety work, and ADA-triggered scope. The space programs for the MOBs have yet to be defined and will commence over the next few years, however, it is anticipated to include, but not limited to patient service areas for Nuclear Medicine, Radiation Oncology, Ambulatory Surgery Center and Gastrointestinal Procedures with check-in and reception areas, exam rooms, consult rooms, procedure rooms, nurse stations, blood draw, private and shared offices, conference rooms, hoteling, ancillary support, and storage spaces. The complete list of projects is not yet defined. The selected Executive Design Professional will evaluate the seismic performance of the buildings and develop a comprehensive plan and design for the seismic retrofit programs, including interior, code-compliant structural and non-structural improvements, coordination with building systems, and phasing strategies to minimize disruption to ongoing operations. The University has not determined a delivery method for projects resulting from this study, but delivery methods may include either Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) or Design/Bid/Build. Please note that if Progressive Design/Build (PD/B) is selected as a future project delivery method, the Executive Architect and any consultants participating in the development of the project on behalf of the University will be precluded from participating as a member of any prospective Progressive Design-Build Team. The construction cost for each project has not yet been determined and is dependent upon phasing. The work may be executed in several incremental projects, and the construction value of each increment may be no more than $25M. The total of all incremental projects is anticipated to be $40M to $120M, depending on the agreed-upon scope of work. Responses to this RFQ should demonstrate familiarity and experience in the Healthcare master planning design and construction. The personnel proposed for this project must also demonstrate expertise in these areas. The selection committee will base its 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. The final selection and appointment of the architect 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 project is subject to review and approval by the UC Board of Regents or their delegated authority. 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. Question Deadline 07/22/2025 The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
