Durango School District 9-R, (Durango 9-R, the District), is pre-qualifying Architectural/Engineering (A/E) firms and inviting expressions of interest and Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from qualified firms interested in providing A/E services for projects over the anticipated four (4) year term of the District’s 2020 Bond Program, which was approved by the voters of the District in November 2020.
SOQs received in response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) will be used by the District to begin selection of design consultants whose teams will be deemed qualified to work with appropriate District technical and site staff to plan, document and administer construction contracts for single or multiple project packages over the duration of the Program, as well as a number of site improvement and specialty construction projects to be accomplished separately in the first three years. The District expects to complete major packages under Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) contracts, negotiated with pre qualified firms once Schematic Designs are completed; smaller packages will be competitively bid to pre qualified general or specialty suppliers/contractors. All work will be coordinated by the District’s Program Management Team (PMT) and a Program/Project Management consultant.
The largest portion of the work will be new construction and the renovation of one or more District sites, and will require a full range of design disciplines; however, there are a significant number of smaller packages that will be more effectively lead by a specialized design or engineering discipline.
