RFQ R-26016 Electrical Engineering Services

The Los Angeles Unified School District is seeking qualified electrical engineering firms to participate in a new RFQ (RFP R-26016) for electrical engineering services, which will replace existing task order contracts set to expire on April 30, 2026. The solicitation, posted on October 20, 2025, invites firms to submit their qualifications by November 14, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for October 27, 2025. The RFQ emphasizes the importance of firms demonstrating extensive experience, including at least ten years of providing California-licensed electrical engineering design services for state-owned and educational facilities, and having completed at least three DSA-approved projects. Firms must also have at least one licensed electrical engineer with a decade of relevant experience. The process involves submitting detailed forms covering firm information, project experience, key personnel resumes, and compliance certifications, including ethics and business enterprise participation. The contract size ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, with the goal of establishing a qualified pool of firms to support architectural and engineering services for various district projects. The RFQ underscores the district's commitment to small, women, minority, veteran, and disabled veteran business enterprises, requiring firms to complete utilization forms for reporting and compliance. The selection process will evaluate firms based on their experience, qualifications, and adherence to district policies, with a tentative contract award expected by January 2026. The district retains rights to modify or reject proposals and emphasizes transparency through detailed submission guidelines and supporting documentation, including certifications and project experience forms, to ensure qualified and compliant firms are selected for future electrical engineering work across Los Angeles schools.
