Public Safety Building Facility Condition Assessment

The University of California, Santa Barbara is soliciting proposals for a Facility Condition Assessment of its Public Safety Building in Goleta, California, under solicitation number 20260804014, with a submission deadline of August 21, 2026. The scope of work requires a comprehensive evaluation of the building’s existing conditions, including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and accessibility systems, with compliance reviews aligned to the California Code of Regulations, Americans with Disabilities Act, and UC Seismic Safety Policy. Deliverables include a detailed report with an executive summary, deficiency matrix, planning-level cost estimates, and photographic documentation—all focused on condition assessment and maintenance planning without design or construction scope. Proposals must be submitted as a single PDF via the UCSB Plan Room portal or on a thumb drive to the designated Contracting Services office, with all materials formatted in 8½ × 11” portrait orientation and organized into four mandatory tabs covering the Statement of Qualifications, relevant experience, key personnel resumes and organizational structure, and formal acceptance of the university’s Professional Services Agreement and Certificate of Insurance. Selection will be based on a qualitative trade-off approach prioritizing technical merit over cost, evaluating factors such as relevant project experience, professional ability, project team qualifications, subconsultant credentials, management capability, client responsiveness, and compliance with equal opportunity employment policies. Offerors must disclose any malpractice claims, litigation history with the Regents of the University of California, and provide an EEO policy statement to avoid disqualification. Insurance requirements mandate $1 million per claim and $2 million aggregate in professional liability coverage, $1 million per occurrence in general liability, and state-compliant workers’ compensation. No pricing, CLINs, or contract value are specified in the solicitation, as this is a qualifications-based procurement. The selected firm will be expected to perform work on-site at the Public Safety Building, and the contract will be executed under the university’s standard Professional Services Agreement with no deviations permitted. All communications and questions should be directed to Ed Schmittgen, and all physical submissions must be addressed to Greg Moore at the UCSB Campus address in Goleta.
