By way of this Request for Proposals (“RFP”), the Manhattan Beach Unified School District (“District”) seeks proposals from lease-leaseback contractors (“Contractor” or “Firm”) to provide preconstruction services and lease-leaseback construction services for the District’s Bond Measure RLS Projects (“Projects”). The purpose of this RFP is to obtain information that will enable the District to select a lease-leaseback Contractor using the “best value” competitive procurement process under Education Code section 17400 et seq., that can assist the District with both preconstruction services and construction services. The “best value” competitive procurement process is an evaluation process whereby a Firm is selected by the District on the basis of objective criteria for evaluating the qualifications of Firms, with the selected Firm representing the best combination of price and qualifications. Each Contractor responding to this RFP should be prepared and qualified to provide the preconstruction services and lease-leaseback construction services described in this RFP to the District in an expeditious and timely manner and on relatively short notice so as to enable the District to meet critical time deadlines and schedules.
