Two-Story Instructional Building Project

The Victor Valley Community College District is soliciting construction management services for the development of a new 43,000-square-foot, two-story instructional building on its Victorville, California campus, which includes the demolition of the existing Building 30, along with associated site improvements, utility infrastructure upgrades, and campus enhancements. The project is scheduled for a 350-day construction period beginning February 21, 2028, with substantial completion targeted for June 22, 2029, followed by a punchlist phase through August 17, 2029, and final occupancy on August 20, 2029, with DSA certification to be completed by October 12, 2029. The solicitation, issued under number 20260713028 and posted on July 14, 2026, requires responses no later than August 18, 2026, and is evaluated under a trade-off methodology that prioritizes technical merit over lowest price. The evaluation weighs the respondent’s skills and team capabilities at 35%, experience on similar projects at 25%, experience in higher education at 15%, proposed cost structure at 15%, and availability of personnel at 10%. The contract is structured as a fixed lump sum for basic services with hourly billing for additional services, though exact monetary values are not filled in, and pricing may be subject to negotiation post-evaluation. The Construction Manager must coordinate all phases—from design and bidding through construction and post-construction activities—ensuring compliance with CSI standards, DSA certification requirements, and District procedures, while also managing change orders, safety programs, and stakeholder communication. The Construction Manager is required to maintain minimum insurance coverage including workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, comprehensive general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability, and must verify contractors’ adherence to prevailing wage laws and safety standards, reporting any violations. The CM must not make unauthorized changes to the project scope and is held liable for any such actions to prevent organizational conflicts of interest. Proposals must include detailed documentation of relevant project experience limited to 15 pages, demonstrate prior success in higher education settings, and disclose any pending disputes, legal proceedings, or prior claims against professional liability insurance, with failure to disclose these potentially leading to disqualification. Respondents are expected to submit their proposals in the format outlined, with no formal UEI, CAGE,
