ADVERTISEMENT FOR DESIGN BUILDER PREQUALIFICATION

Subject to conditions prescribed by the University of California, Irvine Medical Center (“UCIMC”), responses to the University’s prequalification documents for a Design Build contract are sought from proposers for the following project:

B63 Energy Efficiency Retrofit,
Project No. 997605

PREQUALIFICATION OF PROSPECTIVE PROPOSERS: The University’s primary objective in utilizing the design build approach is to bring the best available integrated design and construction experience to this project. The University has determined that proposers who submit proposals on this project must be prequalified. Prequalified proposers will be required to have the following California contractor’s license:

C-10 - Electrical Contractor &

C-20 - Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and
Air Conditioning Contractor

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: UCIMC is soliciting proposals from qualified Design Build (DB) teams for the execution of the Building 63 Energy Efficiency Retrofit project. This project will be delivered as an energy brief design-build (EBDB) project. The DB team should anticipate participating in the full project timeline, with responsibilities to include compiling a complete project design package that meets the performance parameters outlined for each energy efficiency measure. The energy efficiency measures include chiller replacement, installation of a dedicated HVAC system, interior/exterior lighting improvements, retro-commissioning, new variable speed motors, and controls upgrade.

PROCEDURES: The prequalification process will result in the selection of finalists who will be prequalified and will be issued proposal documents for this Project. The prequalified proposers will submit price and technical proposals. The technical proposals will be scored according to an established scoring system. The price will be divided by the score to determine a price per technical point. The prequalified proposer submitting the lowest price per technical point will be the apparent low proposer for the Project.

After receipt of the prequalification documents, the University will review and determine a preliminary point score for each submittal. Requests for clarifying information and additional data will be made at this time, if required. After receipt and review of the clarifications and additional data each prequalification submittal will receive a final point score.

Scoring of proposers will be determined by the application of an established rating system, requirements of which are contained in the Prequalification Questionnaire.

A proposer who receives 70 or more points out of a possible 100 points based on the established rating system will be invited to participate in the Request for Proposal step

Proposers will be notified whether or not they have been prequalified after the University evaluates the prequalification submittals.
