UCLA requests a written response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select an Executive Architect for the UCLA Research Park Master Plan Study, Project Number 948547. The proposed project would develop an adaptive reuse master plan and demising plan supporting a multi-tenant biomedical and scientific research occupancy in addition to developing construction documentation, and assisting the University in securing Agency review approvals of projects related to the building core and common area development. The Executive Architect will also develop preliminary space programs for the California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy at UCLA and the UCLA Center for Quantum Science and Engineering, including projections for future growth, and develop test fit options that the University will use to procure services for the subsequent Tenant Improvement projects. The test fit options and demising plans will consider phased construction of the core/common areas and phased construction of the subsequent Tenant Improvements. The selected Executive Architect will also develop standards for building improvements that will govern future Tenant Improvement projects for which services will be solicited through one or more future RFQs.
