Architectural And Engineering Services

The Marysville Joint Unified School District is soliciting qualification packages from architectural and engineering firms to establish a pool of qualified professionals for various construction projects and repairs over a five-year term. The scope of services encompasses the full project lifecycle, including schematic design, design development, preparation of construction documents, bidding and negotiation assistance, and construction phase administration. Selected firms will be responsible for creating detailed drawings and specifications for architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and site work, while ensuring all designs comply with applicable laws, building codes, and governmental agency approvals. Key deliverables include approved design documents, cost estimates, and site observations conducted at least every other week to monitor work quality and progress. Evaluation of firms will be based on a trade-off of qualitative and cost-related factors, including the specific project team's strengths, the firm's professional reputation, and their knowledge of California school construction and modernization practices. Proposals must be submitted physically by August 26, 2026, consisting of one original and four copies. Strict ethical guidelines are in place, prohibiting unauthorized contact with district officials and requiring compliance with California Government Code regarding conflicts of interest. While basic services are defined, optional additional services such as environmental studies and interior design are available via separate agreements. The contract requires mandatory professional liability, workers compensation, and automobile insurance, and prohibits the specification of toxic substances like asbestos or PCBs in any design.
