Request for Qualifications - Task Order Construction Agreement (TOCA)

The Board of Trustees of the California State University is seeking qualified general contractors to provide Design-Build, Collaborative Design-Build, and Construction Manager at Risk services for a portfolio of projects under a master enabling agreement. This Task Order-Construction Agreement (TO-CA) utilizes a two-phase delivery method: a design and preconstruction phase to develop a Lump Sum or Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, followed by a construction phase. The total maximum budgeted cost for all projects is $30,000,000, with no single project exceeding $7,000,000. The selection process is a two-step approach, beginning with a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify the four most qualified firms, followed by a Request for Proposals (RFP) to select the firm or firms best suited for the project. To be considered, respondents must be prequalified with the Trustees at least one day prior to the Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) due date, with a minimum prequalification rating of $10,000,000. The SOQ evaluation is based on a scoring system that prioritizes unique qualifications, local experience within 50 miles of the project, proficiency with LEAN tools and Integrated Project Management, and experience utilizing Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBEs). Mandatory requirements include the submission of a signed Skilled and Trained Workforce Agreement, a California Contractor License, and a CSU prequalification letter containing a Composite Safety Score. All projects are subject to prevailing wage rate laws and strict safety and insurance standards, including specific pollution liability requirements.
