DESCRIPTION

The Capital Improvement Project (CIP)

First 5 LA’s approach to the Project is to strengthen First 5 LA’s ability to effectively execute its 2020-2028 Strategic Plan. First 5 LA took steps to align its internal structure with its mission and strategy. Since the adoption of the CIP by the First 5 LA’s Board of Commissioners on July 12, 2018, the conceptual interior design has been updated to factor in the COVID – 19 impacts. This has been a collaborative effort between First 5 LA, Klawiter, MARRS, and IMEG with MARRS and IMEG providing a review of the interior design updates prepared by Klawiter.

The renovation work will be required to meet all parts of the current Title 24 California Building Code and other relevant planning, building, and environmental codes and regulations as enforced by the City of Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) and all other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over this Project. This is a prevailing wage project (see Article 11 in the Contract).

See Attachment A – Owner’s Program (Scope of Work) for the Owner’s Program (Scope of Work) for “Phase 1”.  The Scope of Work includes design criteria, basis of design, design development plans along with prescriptive specifications sometimes referred to herein as the Bridging Documents. This RFP – Phase 1, is PART 2 in the two-part procurement process for the Project. It incorporates the terms, definitions, and schedules set forth in the Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) released on January 25, 2021, and any Addenda issued thereto; however, to the extent that the RFP conflicts with the RFQ and any Addenda thereto, the RFP shall prevail and shall be considered an addendum to previously published information.  Offerors must submit their Proposals pursuant to the schedule set forth in this RFP.  This RFP is not an offer to enter into a contract but is merely a solicitation of entities interested in submitting a Proposal to the Owner for the Project.
