CAP RFP - 41CAP2501 MARIN COUNTY JUVENILE HALL ACCESSIBILITY UPDATES

The County of Marin is soliciting proposals from qualified design firms to provide comprehensive accessibility design services, construction documents, and construction support for the Marin County Juvenile Hall Accessibility Update project. The project aims to rectify accessibility compliance deficiencies throughout the Juvenile Hall facility, covering all interior and exterior spaces used by residents, staff, and visitors. Key focus areas include accessible paths of travel, restrooms, showers, drinking fountains, raised platforms, doors and hardware, fixed furniture, lighting controls, and signage. A California Certified Access Specialist (CASp) is required on the project team to ensure adherence to relevant standards during design and construction phases. Close coordination with the County Probation Department is a critical component of service delivery. Proposals must adhere to a structured evaluation framework assessing understanding of project scope, capacity to perform work including subconsultants, relevant project experience, quality assurance processes, and references. The selection is based on a best-value trade-off where technical merit and interview performance have precedence over cost alone. The contract includes mandatory background checks for key meetings, strict insurance requirements, and certifications against contractor debarment. Deliverables include detailed accessibility compliance reports, design drawings in AutoCAD, cost estimates, specifications, and certification letters. Compliance with 2022 California Building Code Section 11B, 2010 ADA Standards, and Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA standards for digital content is required. Work will be performed on-site at the Juvenile Hall in San Rafael, and all intellectual property rights for work products will belong to the County. The contract pricing details are not populated, and funding is contingent on annual appropriations. Proposal submissions are due by June 5, 2026, with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting set for May 15, 2026. The solicitation process, documentation submissions, and evaluation criteria are designed to ensure a high-quality, fully compliant accessibility update to the facility.
