ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES-CAPS CAREER FACILITY

Cache County School District is seeking qualified architectural firms and their consultant teams to provide professional design services for a new standalone Career and Technical Education (CTE) facility at 723 W. 1400 N., Logan, Utah, purpose-built to support its CAPS program and profession-based learning initiatives. The facility is intended to be professional, industry-oriented, flexible, and distinct from traditional classroom buildings, requiring a collaborative programming phase involving CTE leadership, CAPS instructors, industry partners, and District staff. The selected firm will deliver full-service architectural services including schematic design, design development, construction documents, multi-discipline coordination, BIM/Revit modeling, digital clash detection, code compliance analysis for accessibility and energy standards, and construction administration with site presence, RFI and submittal response, pay application review, and punch list support. The solicitation, identified as CCSD-SOQ063026, was posted on June 10, 2026, with responses due by June 30, 2026, and is a qualifications-based procurement under NAICS Code 541310, to be submitted electronically via the U3P Bonfire portal with a strict 25-page limit excluding cover pages, resumes, and required forms. All submissions must be in bookmarked, searchable PDF format, with prohibited file types including zipped, video, or encrypted files. Firms must be properly licensed to practice architecture in Utah, with engineering consultants similarly licensed, and must maintain professional liability/errors and omissions coverage and worker’s compensation insurance or self-insurer status as required by Utah law. The proposing team must detail proposed key personnel including a project manager, lead designer, educational programming lead, lead engineers, and construction administration lead, with demonstrated experience in K-12 CTE or CAPS environments, and provide a preliminary project schedule. Evaluation focuses on technical merit across nine weighted factors, including relevant experience (20 points), key personnel qualifications (15 points), programming approach (15 points), project understanding (10 points), budget management (10 points), past performance (10 points), team coordination and BIM proficiency (10 points), construction administration (5 points), and references (5 points), with proposals scored from 0 to 5 based on completeness and quality. Cost is evaluated using a formula that awards points inversely proportional to proposed price, with the lowest bid receiving full cost points. The estimated project cost is $10
