RFP 26-0007 Architectural Consultant Services- Education Specification

Beaverton School District 48j is soliciting proposals under RFP 26-0007 to establish a Master Contract for Architectural Consultant Services. The primary objective is to update the District's Elementary School Education Specifications through education planning, research, stakeholder engagement, and consulting. While the initial focus is on elementary schools, the District may issue additional task orders for middle and high school specifications, as well as facility utilization and capacity studies. The contract begins upon execution and runs through June 30, with the possibility of up to five additional one-year renewals. The selection process occurs in two stages. In the first stage, proposers are evaluated on their approach, experience, and team composition to create a shortlist of three firms. These finalists are then ranked based on interviews, fee proposals, and references. Proposers must submit a maximum of 20 pages and include several mandatory certifications, including non-collusion and independent contractor affidavits. The District maintains an aspirational goal of 15% participation from DMWESBSDVBE firms and requires strict adherence to various civil rights and labor laws, including the ADA and Oregon workers' compensation laws. Contract administration involves a 30-day payment term following the acceptance of itemized invoices submitted via email. The District reserves the right to terminate the contract for convenience with 30 days' notice. Final acceptance of all deliverables occurs at the District's facility, where work is inspected for quality and conformity to specifications. Proposers are required to identify a Project Manager and any subconsultants, ensuring they have relevant K-12 project experience.
