The Irvine Unified School District is establishing a consultant pool of 8 to 15 experienced firms to provide labor compliance monitoring and enforcement services for PK-12 school facility projects. These projects, which range in value from 25,000 to 25 million dollars, encompass new construction, modernizations, renovations, and expansions across 45 school sites. Selected firms will be responsible for ensuring conformance with State prevailing wage laws, conducting semi-monthly site interviews, tracking and reviewing certified payroll, reporting non-compliant contractors to the DIR, and assisting with bid document requirements. The District will utilize a two-step selection process where firms in the pool are later shortlisted, typically in groups of three to four, to submit fee proposals for specific projects via a separate Request for Proposal. Qualified firms must submit their qualifications by September 15, 2026, demonstrating specific experience with California PK-12 school facilities and providing references from similar districts. Compliance requirements include professional liability insurance of 1,000,000 dollars per occurrence and mandatory fingerprinting and criminal records checks per Education Code section 45125.1. The contract is governed by the laws of the State of California with venue in Orange County. Submissions are strictly limited to 15 double-sided pages, excluding specific attachments such as resumes and project data sheets, and must be delivered as both printed copies and a PDF on a flash drive.
