Description
The Los Angeles Unified School District is soliciting qualified contractors for the Sylvan Park Early Education Center Outdoor Classroom and Campus Upgrade. This bond‑funded, best‑value RFQ calls for a prime contractor with a California “B” General Building Contractor license to deliver a comprehensive renovation that includes playground reconfiguration, new HVAC, roofing, exterior paint, fire‑alarm upgrades, ADA‑compliant site improvements, and utility upgrades across the campus. The procurement follows a two‑step process: first, a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) scoring up to 1,000 points, then a price‑bid evaluation where the lowest bid‑to‑qualification ratio wins. The contract is lump‑sum, fixed‑price and estimated at roughly $4.4 million, with a required performance bond equal to the contract value.
• Scope: playground redesign, HVAC replacement, roof and exterior paint, fire‑alarm system, ADA‑compliant pathways, parking, doors, signage, restrooms, and drinking‑water station.
• License requirement: California B‑General Building Contractor license.
• Evaluation: 1,000‑point SOQ (experience, management, past performance, SBE/VBE usage, local‑worker goals, etc.) followed by best‑value price ratio; short‑list limited to seven bidders.
• Timeline: SOQ due May 19 2026, site walk June 1 2026 (mandatory for short‑listed), final priced bids due June 25 2026, award anticipated July 2026.
• Financials: Contract bond estimate $4,411,461; SBE/VBE participation goals (25% SBE, 5% VBE) and 50% local‑worker requirement.
