REQUEST FOR INFORMATION | R-27018 PERMANENT MODULAR BUIILDINGS

The Los Angeles Unified School District is issuing Request for Information R-27018 to gather market data on pre-engineered and prefabricated permanent modular buildings. The primary objective is to establish a minimum performance standard and guide specification for future design-build procurements to improve cost predictability and shorten project delivery timelines. The scope focuses on single-story and two-story classroom buildings for grades TK-12, including Universal Pre-Kindergarten classrooms, as well as associated support spaces such as restrooms, teacher workrooms, and administrative areas. Interested parties may propose volumetric modular, panelized, pre-engineered steel, kit-of-parts, or hybrid systems. All proposed systems must comply with the current California Building Code and the Field Act, and they must either hold or be pursuing Division of the State Architect Pre-Checked approval. Technical requirements include adherence to Title 24 Part 6, CALGreen, ADA Standards, and ANSI/ASA S12.60 for classroom acoustics. Respondents must provide detailed information via Ariba Discovery, including a questionnaire, performance response matrix, and evidence of DSA PC approval. Submissions are due by December 28, 2026, and must include a narrative response not exceeding twenty pages, along with technical drawings and photographs of completed California K-12 installations. This RFI is strictly for planning and market research purposes and does not constitute a contract, a request for proposal, or a promise to issue a future solicitation. No evaluation, ranking, or selection will occur during this phase. Respondents are required to disclose their firm's legal details, licensing, bonding capacity, and experience with prevailing wage requirements and project labor agreements. All responses are subject to the California Public Records Act unless specifically marked as proprietary or trade secrets.
