ADVERTISEMENT FOR EXECUTIVE ARCHITECT

In response to this Request for Qualifications ("RFQ"), UCLA requests submission of written statements of qualifications for the purpose of selecting an Executive Architect for the Pritzker Hall Renovation and Improvement projects (Project No.907136), located at 502 Portola Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095. Pritzker Hall, a 126,005 gsf building comprising eight stories (plus a penthouse) and three below-grade levels, was completed in 1967 and underwent a seismic mitigation and program improvement renovation in 2021.

Responses to this RFQ should demonstrate familiarity and experience in the design, planning, and programming of campus higher education and research buildings that involve renovations, clinical and academic research programs, wet and dry laboratories, and vivaria.

UCLA Capital Programs is anticipating the need to design and construct a series of renovation and infrastructure improvement projects for the Department of Psychology within Pritzker Hall over the next several years. The projects will be assigned as necessary over the term of the agreement, which may be up to three years. The construction costs for these projects have not yet been determined; however, each project may range from $3 million to $10 million and will be defined by its scope of work and phasing requirements. During each project, the entire scope of work may be executed through several phased, incremental projects.

Each proposed project design shall comply with the University of California Policy on Sustainable Practices concerning green building design and energy efficiency.  Each proposed project must meet the California Energy Code (Title 24) energy efficiency standards and apply sustainability principles to the renovated building's systems, components, and portions of the renovated building.  Designs shall comply with the University of California Policy on Sustainable Practices to achieve a minimum LEEDTM Gold Rating.

The implementation of the selected renovation and related projects will depend on funding availability. The final selection and appointment of the executive architect are contingent upon project approval by the University of California Board of Regents or their delegated authority, and on compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

This solicitation is intended to award a Professional Services Agreement (¿PSA¿) and a series of Executive Design Professional Agreements ("EDPA¿), insurance limits, forms, and endorsements for each proposed project, as addressed in section II.D of this RFQ. Additional information related to University of California contract templates can also be found online at https://facilitiesmanual.ucop.edu/design-contract-templates. Please review the terms carefully and thoroughly, as the University will not pursue any significant changes to the standard agreements.

The selection committee will base its review of the Executive Architect's submitted proposals and selection on the identified Selection Criteria (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 complete RFQ packet will be available at http://www.uclaplanroom.com on Monday, May 4, 2026.  Responses to the RFQ are due by or before 10:00 a.m. on  Tuesday, May 26, 2026. To download the packet, you must create a login and password.  Registration instructions are available at https://www.uclaplanroom.com/help/account.register.  Once in the UCLA Planroom, click the "RFQ" tab and search for the project to download.  Within the project "RFQ Document" tab, download (1) RFQ, (2) the Planroom RFQ-Upload Instructions, and (3) Appendix C and D Instructions. Failure to comply could result in your submission being overlooked.

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.
