Q3 2026 Project Update

September

The project entered the bidding phase for general contractor selection in late July as District Purchasing released the bid documents via electronic portal on PlanetBids on July 22. A mandatory site walk was held on July 28 at which 26 interested firms were in attendance. Addendum No. 1 was later issued on August 10 to extend the bid deadline from August 12 to August 31 to allow interested firms to review and respond to additional site reports prior to submitting their final bids. Addendum No. 2 also was issued on August 28, containing responses to all prevously submitted requests for information (RFIs) and, as such, the bid deadline was extended by three days, shifting the date to September 3.

The project received 15 bids from interested general contracting firms by the September 3 deadline. The Campus Project Team is reviewing the bids to select the most responsible, responsive, and lowest-cost general contractor to deliver the project. A Board Agenda Item is expected to be presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration of the selected firm at the first meeting in October. Additional Board Agenda Items are also expected to be presented to the Board of Trustees for Laboratory of Record and Inspector of Record selection in October. The Notice to Proceed with Construction is now planned for issuance in early November to the selected firm.
