RFP-2526-122 Architect Engineering Services 2026 Bond

The solicitation seeks written sealed proposals for Architect and Engineering services in support of the North Clackamas School District’s 2026 Bond Program, which, if approved by voters in November 2026, is projected to exceed $245 million in construction and related costs. The scope entails comprehensive design and construction administration services encompassing architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, security/IT, sustainability consulting, cost estimating, permitting, and contractor selection support. The work is to be performed primarily within Oregon at several District educational facilities, with a firm timeline targeting substantial project completion by December 2031 and final closeout by December 2032. Key deliverables include detailed drawings, specifications, reports, and construction documentation necessary for permitting and bidding, all adhering to a professional Standard of Care and compliance with applicable laws, codes, and energy efficiency funding mandates. Evaluation of proposals is based on a best-value trade-off approach, prioritizing team experience, project management methodology, subconsultant qualifications (including COBID/OMWBE status), design philosophy, firm track record, sustainability commitment, and references, with a weighted scoring system totaling 150 points. Award will not follow a lowest-price technically acceptable method but rather an integrated qualitative and quantitative assessment, including negotiation with top-ranked proposers. The contract imposes strict key personnel requirements, limiting substitutions without prior consent, and mandates flow-down of audit and compliance obligations to subconsultants, with a ten-year record retention for audit purposes. Payment requires electronic invoice submission to the designated District official, with no advanced pricing data or line-item costs disclosed in the solicitation documents. Proposals must adhere to detailed submission formats, including signed certifications and representations, with no allowance for electronic signatures, and must be received by the District by May 14, 2026. The package includes certifications ensuring non-discrimination, tax compliance, business integrity, and registration with Oregon state boards, reflecting the District’s commitment to legal and ethical contracting standards.
