Bridging Documents And Owner's Representative Services Design-Build Tenant Improvement Project For 140 Marine View Ave., Solana Beach CA

The Santa Fe Irrigation District is soliciting proposals for professional Owner's Representative services under Contract J-2600 to support a design-build tenant improvement project at 140 Marine View Ave. in Solana Beach, California. The project involves renovating approximately 10,000 square feet of a 16,000-square-foot office building to create administrative offices, a customer service counter, a training center, and a Board room. The scope includes HVAC and electrical modifications, IT infrastructure, site security upgrades, backup power, and ADA improvements. The selected consultant will act as the District's advocate throughout the project lifecycle, from developing Owner's Project Requirements and bridging documents to managing design validation, GMP negotiations, construction oversight, and final closeout. The District aims for full occupancy by late summer or early fall 2027, with the specific services expected to take approximately 6 to 8 months to complete. Proposals are due by September 18, 2026, and will be evaluated based on best overall value, with cost serving as one of several factors. The selected firm must provide a detailed fee proposal, including a cost breakdown and rate table, and must comply with California Public Contract Code and prevailing wage laws. Key responsibilities for the Owner's Representative include coordinating independent inspections and testing, managing the substantial completion punch list, and assisting in the procurement of the Design-Builder. Technical standards for the project include adherence to the Equipment Mechanical Code and Title 24 for air handling systems, as well as specific quality standards for installation materials and appliances. Selected consultants must be able to provide necessary insurance certificates and bonding within seven calendar days of notification.
