Request for Pre-Qualification for Fleet Maintenance Building Refurbishment

The City of Carlsbad is initiating a two-step procurement process for the Fleet Maintenance Building Refurbishment Project, with an estimated cost of 6,302,000 dollars. The first phase consists of a pre-qualification process to identify capable contractors based on their staffing, client references, and experience with projects of similar size and complexity. Qualified contractors must hold active California Class A General Engineering and Class B General Building licenses, be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations, and demonstrate the ability to self-perform at least 25 percent of the work. Evaluation criteria include proficiency with Procore scheduling and lean construction pull planning. The project is divided into two construction phases: the first involves establishing temporary facilities, including tent structures and utility connections to maintain fleet operations, and the second focuses on the refurbishment of the building and associated site improvements. Operational continuity is critical, as access to the fuel island and operational areas must be maintained throughout construction. Statements of Qualifications are due by September 10, 2026, via the electronic bidding portal. Following pre-qualification, the final contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the City Council holding final award authority.
