L. Form of Contract Form of contract: The draft Contract for Consulting Services 2018 is available at the RFP website. Design phases: The above contract defines Basic Design Services as the sum total of the following phases of design: 1) Feasibility Approval; 2) Scope Approval; 3) Final Cost Estimate Approval; 4) Quality Control Approval; and 5) Procurement. Approval of each phase is predicated on the receipt of the relevant Phase Report, which will include, but not be limited to, the minimum list of mutually agreed-upon deliverables as recorded in contract Exhibits G.2 to G.6. Deliverables: These deliverables can be condensed into two categories design documents and contract documents, and each category includes several classes of deliverables. Contract Exhibit G.1, included as Attachment summarizes the expectations for percent complete of general categories and classes of deliverables. SPECIAL ATTENTION MUST BE PAID TO THE PERCENT COMPLETE EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL PHASES OF BASIC DESIGN SERVICES. The summary of percents complete may reflect the expectations of project delivery methods other than more traditional consultant agreement formats. This is intentional, particularly the need for accelerated design outputs and early engineering involvement and deliverables. However, a contractor is not party to this agreement. Rather, construction-based input to project design is accomplished through constructability reporting that is a required deliverable. M. Effective Period of Proposals Proposals are expected to be effective for not be less than 150 days from the proposal date. N. Statement of Qualifications The District utilizes a Statement of Qualifications submittal process to qualify professional service firms before contracting for their services, and qualification as per the SOQ process will be required for firms with whom the district contracts as a result of this RFP selection process. O. Proposal Reservations Notwithstanding any other provisions of this RFP, the District reserves the right to award this contract to the Respondents that best meet the requirements of the RFP, and not necessarily to the lowest cost Respondent. Further, the District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, to award in whole or part, and to waive minor, immaterial defects in proposals. Page 7 of 28
