SECTION 01 - INTRODUCTION

A. INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to Education Code section 17250.10 et seq. the Baldwin Park Unified School

District Board of Education has approved the use of design-build construction delivery

method to perform comprehensive evaluations and assessments of its existing facilities and

equipment to determine if: any noncompliant plumbing fixtures and appliances that fail to

meet water efficiency standards need replacement; and if there is any other work that is

eligible for funding under the California Schools Healthy Air, Plumbing, and Efficiency

Program (CalSHAPE) Agreement No. 22R3PA1472 program that can be performed by the

District (collectively, “Assessment Plan”). The Assessment Plan shall be performed in

accordance and in compliance with all applicable funding guidelines under AB-841 and the

CalSHAPE program. Based on the Contractor’s Assessment Plan, it shall prepare a

detailed implementation plan of all required work that is eligible for CalSHAPE funding

(“Implementation Work”) for the District’s review and written approval. Once the District has

agreed to the Contractor’s scope of the Implementation Work, the Contractor shall provide

and furnish any and all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and utility and transportation

services necessary to perform complete the approved Implementation Work in a

workmanlike manner. All services and related work to prepare the Assessment Plan and

perform the Implementation Work shall be referred to collectively as the “Project.”

The Baldwin Park Unified School District (“District”) has established a procedure to

prequalify design-build entities using this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in order to

prequalify, or develop a shortlist of, design-build entities in accordance with Education Code

section 17250.25 (b) whose proposals shall be evaluated for final selection under a separate

Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The documents required pursuant to this RFQ must

be completed by the “design-build entity” and all applicable members of the “design-build

team” (as these terms are defined in Education Code section 17250.15), verified under oath.

All required information and documents to be submitted in accordance with this RFQ shall

be the design-build entity’s Statement of Qualifications (“SOQ”). Design-build entities must

submit a complete SOQ containing all information and documents requested for review and

consideration by the District.

The District will award a contract to the design-build entity that provides the “best

value” (as defined in Education Code section 17250.15) to the District using the criteria set

forth in this RFQ and a subsequent RFP to be issued by the District. Once a design-build

entity is successfully prequalified and shortlisted in accordance with this RFQ, it will be invited

to submit a proposal to the District in response to a RFP that will be issued by the District for

the Project. The District reserves its right to conduct interviews with the design-build entities

that provide the highest best value as determined by the District.

Pursuant to Education Code section 17250.25, procurement of a design-build entity

will follow two (2) phases:

1. Prequalification: Use this RFQ to create a shortlist of design-build entities for

the RFP. Only those short-listed design-build entities will receive invitations to

submit a response to the RFP documents.

2. Selection of Design-Build Entity: Use of a RFP describing the Project for a

competitive procurement by the District to select the design-build entity.

a. The numerical score from this RFQ will not carry over to the RFP scoring

criteria.

b. The RFP selection will use a “best value” approach for the selection of

the design-build entity.

All documents provided in response to this RFQ that are not otherwise a public record

under the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of

Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code) shall not be open to public inspection.

B. REQUEST FOR STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS FROM DESIGN-BUILD

ENTITIES

Notice is hereby given that the Baldwin Park Unified School District (“District”) requires

all design-build entities wishing to submit a proposal for the Project must be prequalified by the

District prior to submitting a proposal. It is mandatory that all design-build entities who desire to

submit a proposal fully complete the prequalification questionnaire in Attachment “A”, provide all

materials requested herein, and be approved by the District to be on the final prequalified list. No

proposal will be accepted from a design-build entity that has failed to comply with these

requirements and be listed on the District’s final prequalified list.

Answers to all questions contained in this RFQ, with accompanying notes and

supplemental information, are required. The District will use these documents as the basis of

rating each design-build entity. The District reserves the right to check other sources available.

The District’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria as set forth in this RFQ. The

District reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind any scoring in this RFQ

based on subsequently learned information.

Each SOQ must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated on the forms

included in this RFQ by members of the design-build team as noted. If any information provided

by a design-build entity becomes inaccurate, the design-build entity or any member of the design-

build team must immediately notify the District and provide updated accurate information in

writing, under penalty of perjury. RFQ documents can be found at the District website at:

https://www.bpusd.net/apps/pages/bids

The District reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and omissions in the information

contained in any submitted SOQ, the prequalification process, and to make all final

determinations.

Design-build entities shall submit all fully completed SOQ’s to:

Juanita Brake, Director of Purchasing and Warehouse

Baldwin Park Unified School District

3699 N. Holly Avenue

Baldwin Park, CA 91706

The District may refuse to grant prequalification where the requested information and

materials are not provided, or where a SOQ is not timely or fully submitted to the District by the

deadline.

C. DISTRICT NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPARATION COSTS

All costs incurred in the preparation, submission and/or presentation of design-build

entities responding to this RFQ or any subsequent request for proposal including, but not limited,

to proposal materials, travel expenses to attend any pre-conferences, presentations, interviews,

and negotiation sessions, shall be the sole responsibility of the design-build entity and will not be

reimbursed by the District. The District shall not pay for any costs incurred as a result of termination

of this RFQ. By submitting a SOQ, the design-build entity agrees and acknowledges that it will not

be entitled to any payment or costs for any work or services without entering into a written design-

build contract approved and ratified by the District’s governing Board of Education.
