Any prospective Proposer found to be not prequalified as a result of the Proposer's answers to this Prequalification Questionnaire will receive written response from the University Facility explaining the Facility's decision. If the Proposer can refute some of the facts upon which the decision was based, the Proposer can request a hearing at the Facility to appeal the decision. The appeal shall state the basis of the appeal and must be submitted in writing within three (3) working days of receipt of notification and must request a hearing or a written response from University. The decision of the Facility is final and not appealable within the University of California.

The Design Build contract will require the successful Proposer to provide both design and construction services. The entity that provides these services is the Proposer, but the actual structure of the entity is up to each Proposer. The Proposer may, as an example, be a construction company with a design firm as a subcontractor or it may be a joint venture between a construction company and a design firm. In such cases, each member of the Proposer shall submit project experience as required below and such design firms shall comply with the laws of the State of California, applicable to such firms. However, all information required herein shall be submitted within the following parameters:

I. GENERAL

A. Objective

The University's primary objective is to utilize the Design-Build approach and bring the best available integrated design and construction experience to this project. The Design-Build delivery process requires the prequalification of a responsible contractor possessing a Class “B” California General Building Contractor’s License and a responsible architectural firm working together as a “Design-Build (DB) team.”

B. Project Description

The Voigt Parking Structure will be located on University of California, San Diego’s (University) Main Campus at the corner of Voigt Drive and Engineer Lane. The project will be constructed on an existing vegetated slope.

Facilities Design & Construction (FD&C) will prepare a Detailed Project Program (DPP) which will be issued through a Request for Proposals (RFP) to prequalified Design-Build (DB) teams (Proposers). The DPP will include the program, budget, schedule, construction requirements, approved site boundary, and other design guidelines.

The campus will require 900 spaces to be provided for the established budget. DB teams will be required to construct the structure within a portion of the valley and provide enhanced public realm space around and adjacent to the site and on a vegetated roof of the structure. The RFP will indicate points awarded for different criteria and will create incentives for the DB teams vying for selection to provide as creative a solution as economically feasible.

The project elements are:

• Project Delivery: Design-Build
• Anticipated Stipulated Price between $30,000,000 - $36,000,000
• A site of approximately 4 acres
• A multi-level parking structure size containing a minimum of 900 spaces
• Landscaped roof to activate the public realm and maintain and enhance pedestrian links and activities adjacent to the structure
• Photovoltaics on the roof
• Construction of new access points
• Improvements to Voigt Drive to accommodate the increased traffic and entrances to the structure
• Extension and relocation of selective campus utilities
• Environmentally sensitive land mitigations
• Storm water management

Construction is to start directly after the IS/MND (Mitigated Negative Declaration) is approved by the UC Office of President and other agency permits are given. This construction start date is anticipated in September 2017.

C. Project Timing

The Project will proceed in phases:

Phase 1:SCHEMATIC THROUGH DESIGN DEVELOPMENT DOCUMENTS

Phase 2:CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

Phase 3:CONSTRUCTION

The Project will commence with a Notice to Proceed (NTP) for Phase 1 upon selection and award of the Contract. The anticipated Contract Time is TWENTY-TWO (22) months from the NTP of Phase 1 to project completion. The Contract Time will include completion of the (Phase 1) Schematic through Design Development Documents, (Phase 2) Construction Documents, and (Phase 3) Construction of the project.

D. Prequalification Process

The Design-Build delivery process requires the prequalification of a responsible contractor and design firm working together as a “Design-Build team.” The University will review the Design-Build teams’ Prequalification Questionnaires and up to five (5) of the top Design-Build teams will be invited to participate in an oral interview.

The three (3) Design-Build teams who receive the highest amount of points after the interviews, based on the established rating system, will be considered the “best qualified” teams and designated as the only teams eligible to participate in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process. These Design-Build teams will be issued RFP documents and will be invited to submit a proposal to design and construct the Project. Additional information and details regarding proposal preparation, submittal and the University’s evaluation and award process will be provided to the prequalified Design-Build teams in the RFP and at a mandatory pre-proposal conference. The three (3) prequalified proposers will submit proposals that will be evaluated based on a scoring system to be published in the RFP

The successful Design-Build team will be responsible for completing schematic design, design development, construction documents, and related work required to construct the project. Each member of the Design-Build team shall comply with the applicable laws and codes of the State of California. The Design-Builder shall hold all required licenses and be the financially responsible entity for bonding and insurance as a mandatory prerequisite for qualification.

The purpose of the Prequalification Questionnaire is to provide the University with sufficient information to determine if a Design-Build team is both experienced and responsible.

1. Questionnaire

Any prospective Design-Build team failing to do so may be deemed non-responsive with respect to the prequalification process for this project.
