5.AR. Consider/Approve Extension of RFQ 2024-03-052 Professional Services for Construction Description: Priority #2: Optimize Facility, Safety & Security, and Infrastructure In parallel with construction and renovation projects, a multitude of services are performed by licensed professionals to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal building regulations.   With the volume of capital improvement projects steadily increasing throughout the District, it is anticipated that the dollars spent on these services, will increase as well.  A formal process was proactively conducted, ensuring contracts are established with firms that have demonstrated core qualifications at competitive rates. Award of these contracts will ensure that the District is receiving the best value for these services from the most qualified firms on capital improvement projects. As governed in Texas Government Code §2254.004, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued on March 27, 2024 to solicit Qualification Statements from firms to perform various services, as detailed and attached.  Eighteen (18) Qualification Statements were received in step one of this process, which were evaluated and ranked based on their submission.  District Administration determined that based on the number and variety of projects to be assigned, the District would be best served by selecting multiple firms to form a pool of qualified and competent firms that will be assigned projects based on each firm’s qualifications, competence, capabilities, design and programming approach. Extension #2 of 4. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approves the extension of RFQ 2024-03-052 and the pool of firms to provide professional services for construction and renovation projects and to authorize the Superintendent or her designee to execute purchases and/or contracts in the best interest of the District.
