The project is currently proceeding through the bidding phase. Following review of the original bid process and consultation with District legal counsel, the District determined that additional clarification regarding project phasing and sequencing should be incorporated into the bid documents to provide clearer direction to bidders. As a result, a request to cancel the bids was submitted to the Board of Trustees for consideration on May 26.
The revised bid documents were issued to the pre-qualified bidders on May 29. An optional site walk took place on June 2. Bids from the three prequalified were received on June 16. The Campus Project Team concluded the re-bidding process after three bids were received by the allotted deadline. Horizons Construction was selected as the lowest cost, most responsive and responsible general contractor. A Board Agenda Item was presented to the Board of Trustees on July 28. With the Board’s approval, the District is in the process of executing the firm’s contract. The Notice to Proceed with Construction will be issued to the contractor on August 17 followed by mobilization activities. Site perimeter fencing will be set in place along with the contractor’s trailer in the laydown area by the warehouse. Site demolition will follow along with grading activities. The project is estimated to last nine months.
