RFQ - College Project Leadership Team Services

The Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD) has issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ) DW-26-01-RFQ to identify prequalified prime firms for College Project Leadership Team (CPLT) services. These services support the Build-LACCD Bond Capital Improvements Program across nine colleges, categorized into College Assignment A and College Assignment B. The primary objective is to establish a pool of qualified firms that will later be invited to participate in a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to secure contracts. The District intends to award one firm per college for a three-year base term, with two optional one-year extensions. Eligible firms must demonstrate at least ten years of continuous experience in project and construction management, specifically within California public education construction programs and involving Design-Build or Design-Bid-Build delivery methods. The evaluation process utilizes a pass/fail gate for minimum qualifications, followed by a weighted scoring system focusing on community development and engagement, sustainability, internship/mentorship program experience, and additional points for specific college assignments. While this RFQ stage does not solicit pricing, the subsequent RFP will involve compensation based on hourly rates fixed by the District. Applicants must adhere to strict ethical and legal standards, including the Build-LACCD Vendor Code of Conduct, the Levine Act regarding campaign contributions, and various non-discrimination and non-collusion declarations. Furthermore, the District emphasizes socioeconomic goals, including a 30% Local, Small, and Disabled Veteran-Owned (LSEB) business participation goal, and requires awarded firms to participate in the Bond Program's Internship Program. Statements of Qualifications must be submitted by 2:00 PM on August 25, 2026, and must include several mandatory certifications and disclosures.
