Rationale: This is to award contracts to 8 separate firms successful responders to RFP404 for “On-Call Architectural Services” for the School Facilities Management Department” issued by the City Purchasing Dept. and opened on September 19, 2019.

RFP404 was a competitive request for qualifications and hourly rates that had 18 responders. All responses were scored by the staff of School Facilities on a Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) basis and after interviews and other due diligence was completed the following 8 (eight) firms have been selected for engagement in a twenty four month contract (with option to renew for 12 additional months):

1. Eisenbach & Ruhnke Engineering, PC,
2. Fuller & D'Angelo Architects & Planners,
3. KG&D Architects, PC
4. Barile Galagher & Associates
5. CPL Architects and Engineers
6. H2M architects & Engineers
7. Mamasi Architecture
8. PS&S Engineering PC, Landscape

Due to their bulk and sensitive nature, the back-up, such as the RFP, selection rating forms and responses are available for viewing in the School Facilities Dept.

These eight firms shall be asked to further compete for engagement on specific projects, typically capital improvement projects. The scope of work and the fees for each project will be presented to the Board for approval prior to the start of work. Every project will have its own budget and schedule but will be covered by this single contract.

The $1 million dollar price mentioned above is merely an upper limit for expenditure under this agreement and will not be encumbered. These funds, up to this limit will be encumbered and assigned to specific projects as the needs arise.

This arrangement benefits the District in that contracts for the numerous projects anticipated will not be required.
Funding: None at this time. Capital Bond Funds to be assigned as tasks are assigned.
