REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS/PROPOSALS

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SERVICES

MEASURE Y BOND PROGRAM

 NOVEMBER 18, 2020 (ISSUED)

The Oakland Unified School District (“District”) is requesting qualified persons, firms, partnerships, corporations, associations, or professional organizations to perform the planning, coordination and program management services through the completion of the District’s Measure J and commencement of Measure Y Bond Programs. Services may include any or all of the following: planning, coordination, and program management; and; District staff augmentation for program management services. Responders submitting proposals shall identify the precise experience level with capital program management.  The District may also consider retaining more than one firm.

The District educates approximately 36,000 students at eighty-three (83) school sites located in the City of Oakland; in addition there are 13,300 students in Oakland public charter schools with 33 charter schools in District authorized facilities.  Voters within the District have overwhelmingly supported the modernization and reconstruction of the District’s schools.  The District is about to commence the capital program as a part of the Measure Y Bond (“Measure Y Program”) passed in November 2020 and has ongoing need for assistance with the planning, pre-design, design and construction phases of work on major renovation/reconstruction of its elementary and secondary schools. Attached to this Request for Qualifications/Proposals (“RFQ/P”) is the District’s authorized expenditure plan (“Spending Plan”) that highlights the timing, delivery and size of Measure Y Program projects. Due to the timing and complexity of the projects slated to start construction in 2021, responder’s experience and proficiency in major capital program transition planning is critical.

Responders should also take cognizance that District Projects are constructed using Design-Bid-Build, Lease Leaseback and Design Build delivery methods as well as traditional design, bid, build. During the initial stages of preparing for a capital construction project, District Program/Construction Management consultants and facilities staff consider factors to determine which method of project delivery will best match the District’s overall construction objectives, including: Project size; Project duration; Staff capacity and specific construction experience; ability to meet the District’s mandatory local business objectives; available funding sources, and; a construction method’s influence on project planning, design and phasing.  Responder’s experience with each delivery method is expected.

Respondents to this RFP should mail or deliver five (5) bound copies, one (1) unbound wet-signed original and one (1) PDF version on a flash drive of their Proposal, as further described herein, to:

 Oakland Unified School District
