Inquiries/ District Responses
Before the solicitation inquiry deadline of April 17th, 2024, the District received inquiries regarding this
solicitation. The District’s response to each question follows in bold font.
1. In the RFQ on page 9, the evaluation of Qualifications includes scoring criteria for conceptual
designs, however in the separate attachments provided via the link on page 2 of the RFQ, it gives
a completely different evaluation form with substantially different scoring criteria that does not
include Conceptual designs. Could you clarify which evaluation form we should refer to?
Updated Scoring Criteria on the RFQ to match Attachment 3 – Draft Ranking Form:
1. Firm Location & Reputation = 5 points
2. Architect’s In-House Team = 10 points
3. Project Engineers & Consultants = 10 points

2. A Prelim program was included in the separate attachments via the link on page 2 of the RFQ
indicating the request for designs. Would you be able to clarify if we are to prepare conceptual
designs to be submitted with our proposal?
Conceptual designs will be presented as part of the interview process, and are not expected
as part of the written qualification response.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged and in force.
