Board authorizes expanded RFQ to prequalify engineering services including civil, structural and geotechnical
Summary
Trustees approved issuing a Request for Qualifications to create a prequalified pool for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and building envelope engineering and directed adding civil, structural and geotechnical services to the solicitation.
Administration recommended using an RFQ to establish a prequalified pool of engineering firms to speed procurement for emergencies such as chiller failures. Interim Superintendent Dr. Alicia Noyola explained the RFQ process: collect qualifications, solicit proposals from the qualified pool when a need arises, select the most qualified, negotiate a contract and then use services as needed.
Board President Marcos J. Garcia IV asked that the solicitation be expanded to include civil, structural and geotechnical engineering to "have all bases covered," and trustees approved the motion to proceed with the edited RFQ language. Trustee Nancy Vallejo asked for clarification on the process and Dr. Noyola described how firms will be shortlisted and engaged on an as‑needed basis.
