The San Diego Unified School District is commissioning a Whole‑Site Modernization of the Elevate Charter School using a lease‑leaseback delivery method. Soltek Pacific Construction is the general contractor and is issuing an invitation to subcontractors for the extensive renovation of a 60,000 sq ft former office building into a K‑8 charter school, including demolition, structural upgrades, MEP replacement, interior finishes, site work, and specialty proprietary systems. The project is valued at approximately $46 million and will span roughly two years. Bidders must submit paper‑style line‑item bids via SmartBid.net, attend a non‑mandatory pre‑bid walk on March 19, and may attend off‑site walks on March 25. RFIs close early April, and final bid submissions are due mid‑April.
• Scope covers full demolition, new structural framing, shot‑crete, new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire‑alarm, access‑control, synthetic turf field, and extensive interior finishes.
• Multiple trade categories are listed (e.g., concrete, electrical, HVAC, drywall, flooring, carpentry, fire protection, landscaping, and proprietary equipment).
• Mandatory licensing (CSLB) and pre‑qualification (District by 3 Apr, Soltek by 10 Apr) are required; MEP subcontractors must maintain annual pre‑qualification.
