DW-26-05-RFQ Constructability Review and Cost Estimating Services

The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) is seeking to establish a Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) to prequalify consultants for constructability review and cost estimating services across its construction and renovation projects. The solicitation, identified as DW-26-05-RFQ, is open to proposers who may apply for one or both service areas, with a submission deadline of September 2, 2026. The estimated total contract value is $7.5 million, serving as the combined funding ceiling for all task orders issued under this IDIQ agreement, which has a minimum three-year base period and may be extended up to five years. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the District’s online vendor portal, with strict adherence to required Exhibits, including a narrative proposal, fee structure, service schedule, key personnel listings, subcontractor details, and a Community Economic Development (CED) utilization plan. Evaluation is based on a numerical scoring system totaling 850 points, prioritizing project staff experience at 500 points, project experience at 300 points, and CED and Local Small Equity Disadvantaged Vendor (LSEDV) participation at 50 points. The process is a trade-off evaluation, not LPTA, with awards determined by highest technical scores and multiple contractors may be selected. Proposers must comply with extensive documentation requirements, including attachments covering individual resumes, performance history, affirmations of socioeconomic status such as Small Business, Emerging Business, Local Business, and Disabled Veteran-Owned Business status with supporting certifications, and mandatory certifications covering conflict of interest, non-collusion, non-discrimination, confidentiality, and Levine Act compliance. Key personnel substitutions require prior written approval from the District, and any organizational conflicts of interest must be fully disclosed and monitored throughout contract performance. Subconsultants are subject to the same compliance obligations as prime contractors, including insurance requirements and disclosures of past disciplinary actions or sanctions. Performance occurs at LACCD campus locations across the district, with deliverables including cost estimates in editable Excel format and constructability review comments using Bluebeam, all aligned with California building codes, prevailing wage laws, and adherence to the Amended Project Labor Agreement. Invoices must follow a District-issued template and are payable within 30 days of receipt, though no electronic invoicing system is specified. No specific packaging, marking, or FOB terms apply, as the contract governs professional services rather than physical delivery. All submissions and compliance documentation must be provided electronically
