The District seeks to establish a pool of qualified architectural services companies for planning, design, funding, approval, construction, construction administration, commissioning, and close-out of public school facilities. For individual projects, the District may select one or more firms from the pool to submit proposals and may contract with selected firms for architectural, engineering, construction administration, and related services. The solicitation describes a request for qualifications for school projects in California, not a grant program.
