On-Call Project Management and Technical Consulting Services for the Lavta Atlantis Facility Construction Project

The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) is seeking qualified firms to provide on-call project management and technical consulting services for the design-build construction of its Atlantis Operations and Maintenance Facility. The contract, solicited under number 20260702013, has a two-year base term with the possibility of one-year option extensions and requires proposers to demonstrate strong technical and managerial capabilities through a best-value selection process weighted heavily toward company qualifications (30 points) and key personnel experience (20 points), with cost effectiveness accounting for 20 points. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bonfire portal by 2:00 p.m. on August 14, 2026, and are limited to 70 pages excluding required forms and resumes. Services include pre-construction coordination such as design support, cost and schedule management, procurement assistance, and potential construction-phase functions like contract administration and stakeholder coordination—all performed in collaboration with LAVTA staff and a separately retained construction manager, without performing inspection, resident engineering, or direct construction management duties. The selected consultant must comply with a comprehensive set of federal and state regulations including FTA requirements, Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, Title VI civil rights protections, Section 504 and ADA accessibility standards, Buy America and Build America, Buy America mandates, EEO affirmative action obligations, and DBE participation goals with documented justification for shortfalls. Insurance requirements mandate $2 million per occurrence and $4 million aggregate commercial general liability coverage, workers’ compensation as required by law, and a waiver of subrogation in favor of LAVTA. All subconsultants require prior written approval, must be bound by the prime contract’s terms, and the consultant bears full responsibility for their performance. Key personnel cannot be substituted without LAVTA’s prior written consent, and any unauthorized change constitutes a material breach. Proposers must certify absence of organizational conflicts of interest, comply with the California Levine Act and lobbying disclosure rules, and provide fully completed financial statements and insurance certificates. All deliverables are governed by work directives issued as needed with no guaranteed minimum volume, and acceptance is contingent on adherence to FMVSS, FTA testing protocols, and federal compliance documentation. Submission must be in PDF format via the Bonfire portal, and hard copies will be rejected.
