The Murrieta Valley Unified School District is soliciting prequalified contractors to provide preconstruction and construction services for various district projects in Murrieta, California, utilizing the Lease-Leaseback (LLB) delivery method.

Selection is based on a best value determination process consisting of a three-step evaluation.

A minimum of 160 points is required to proceed to potential interviews. Qualified contractors must adhere to strict regulatory standards, including Education Code sections 17406 and 17402, Division of the State Architect (DSA) approvals, and California prevailing wage requirements. Key contractual obligations include providing 100 percent performance and payment bonds from a California-authorized surety and maintaining comprehensive insurance. Contractors must certify compliance with drug-free workplace policies, CARB standards, and criminal background checks per Education Code section 45125.1. Additionally, the district has established a 3 percent annual DVBE participation goal.
