Summary :
On May 29, 2024 the Douglas County School District (DCSD) Construction Department issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to all twenty-six (26) DCSD pre-qualified architects for Legacy Campus Phase II. The RFQ included two phases; Phase 1 for an initial Concept Design, and Phase 2 for the complete design and construction administration of Legacy Campus Phase II. Submittals were received from six (6) firms and reviewed by staff which resulted in three (3) firms being shortlisted and interviewed. The interview panel consisted of the Assistant Superintendent, Chief Operations Officer, Director of the DCSD Legacy Campus, Director of Construction, Director of Operations & Maintenance, and Construction Department staff. On November 19, 2024 the Board of Education approved the panel’s selection of Hollis + Miller for this project. The 2024 Bond also includes Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) at the Legacy Campus, including the roof, parking lot, and mechanical infrastructure. To maximize the efficiency, avoid possible conflicts in designs and construction schedules of the Phase II and CIP projects, and minimize the architect fee, staff selected Hollis + Miller for this project. Architectural and engineering design and construction administration services are required for this project. Therefore, an Architect Agreement was issued to Hollis + Miller for $778,200 (9.3% of the construction costs), which includes reimbursable expenses. The fee for the contracted services has been verified and is within industry standards. This project and fee were included in the 2024 Bond planning budgets and these funds will be utilized for this award.
