This Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) is the first of a two-step process to select a Design-Builder for the Project. First, all interested design-builders (“Respondents”) must submit an SOQ on the form and in the format provided by the District. After the SOQs have been evaluated, the District will select/short-list between three and five of the highest rated Respondents, to receive a Request for Proposals (“RFP”). Second, the District will evaluate the Proposals submitted in response to the RFP to identify the successful Design-Builder to whom the design-build contract for the Project will be awarded based on a determination of which Proposal provides the best value to the District for the Project. A more detailed description of the selection process is set forth in Section VIII below.
