1 – INTRODUCTION
Vista Unified School District (“District”) is requesting qualifications and proposals from qualified
General Contractors (“Contractor”) to provide general contracting services for construction of the
Rancho Buena Vista High School Track and Field Replacement project. These projects will not
be funded by the Measure-LL Bond. Contractors may be considered pre-qualified for other district
projects based on the submission of these proposals.
The selected construction management firm (“Construction Manager”) will review construction
plans in detail to confirm the ability to construct projects within the schedules and provide
baseline schedules/budgets as the District established in this request for proposal. The
Construction Manager will be responsible for identifying all drawing and specification changes,
additions, clarifications, and bid packaging which will be required prior to bid to ensure that
these established schedules and budgets will be achieved, with minimal change orders during
construction.
The Contractor will conduct bidding processes for the individual Contracts required to construct
these complete projects (in accordance with the Public Contract Code), administration oversight
& coordination between their subcontractors, architect, owner, LOR, IOR & any other agencies
required for design approval and final certification of the project (i.e. DSA, DEH, SDG&E, City of
Vista, VID, etc.), during project construction through project closeout and the end of the warranty
period.
The Contractor will perform all offsite and agency coordination activities for these projects on
behalf of the District, including but not limited to: (1) establishment and coordination of all wet and
dry utility services to the on-site tie-ins, and (2) coordination of site grading, perimeter road
improvements, and utility provisions of the developers providing these sites to the District.
The Contractor will ensure a smooth completion and start-up of the constructed facilities and all
associated systems and equipment sufficiently in advance of the required completion dates to
ensure school staff move-in and training on the facilities prior to the start of school classes.
The Contractor will ensure prompt warranty responses from their sub-contractors throughout
the first year of occupancy (warranty period).
VUSD will compare and evaluate all qualifying general contracting proposals and select a firm or
combination of multiple firms that best meets the needs of the District, based on the following
factors:
