Description
The Colton Joint Unified School District is establishing two pools of pre‑qualified lease‑leaseback contractors to deliver design‑review, cost estimating, scheduling, value‑engineering, and full construction services for 47 high‑priority school projects funded by Measures BB and G. Qualified firms must hold a California B‑class contractor license, be DIR‑registered, and demonstrate at least three lease‑leaseback projects meeting the $5‑M (for < $10 M pool) or $10‑M (for > $10 M pool) thresholds. The selection process consists of a pre‑qualification phase (SOQ due 4 Dec 2025) followed by interviews and subsequent project‑specific RFPs. Payments are made monthly on a progress‑payment basis, with a 5 % retention held until final close‑out.
• Scope includes pre‑construction services (design review, constructability, cost estimating, scheduling) and construction under a GMP with lease‑leaseback financing.
• Two contractor pools: Pool A for projects under $10 M, Pool B for projects over $10 M.
• Funding: approximately $450 M across 47 school facilities projects.
• Mandatory requirements: CA B‑license, 100 % performance & payment bonds, specific insurance limits, prevailing‑wage compliance, safety program, fingerprinting, and local‑business outreach plan.
