1.        INTRODUCTION
The Trustees of The California State University (Trustees) are requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from interested and qualified construction managers (Respondents) to provide construction management services with a guaranteed maximum price for the design and construction of the Project referenced above (Project).

The delivery method for this Project is commonly known as ¿Construction Manager at Risk¿ (CMAR). CMAR consists of a preconstruction phase and a construction phase with separate contracts for each phase. During the preconstruction phase, the CM will collaborate with the Architect on the design, constructability, cost and schedule of the Project and develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal to construct the Project. Upon the Trustees¿ acceptance of the GMP the Trustees will issue a contract to the CM for the construction phase. If the Trustees and the CM do not agree upon a GMP, the Trustees will not award the construction phase of the Project to the CM.

2.        PROJECT DESCRIPTION
California State University, San Bernardino has two campus locations, one located in San Bernardino, and one located in Palm Desert. The project is located at the Palm Desert campus; consists of approximately 36,500 GSF new standalone building, site improvements, utility extensions, parking lot, landscape improvements and the renovation of vacated existing spaces on campus (backfill) and shall be constructed in two phases, as summarized below.

Student Services Building #10 (Phase 1): Approximately 23,700 ASF/36,500 GSF, (square footage to be confirmed during program validation process) Student Services Building (#10) at the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus on a vacant site located east of the existing campus core. This new student-focused facility is currently programed to include an advising/tutor center, career center, library, group study rooms, cross-cultural/affinity centers, a campus bookstore, food services, student health center, a recreation and wellness center, University Police office(s), and multi-purpose rooms/classrooms to serve students and the community. Included in the building are storage and loading dock space required for campus operational needs. Project shall include infrastructure to service this facility as well as sitework and utilities infrastructure essential to the future development of the Palm Desert Campus. An estimated 248 new parking stalls will be constructed to serve the project, final count of new parking spaces shall be confirmed during the design phase. Base design shall be fully engineered design solar panel system, and shall meet current California building code, solar panels procurement method to be determined during the design phase.

Site Improvements-Landscape/Utilities (Phase 1): With a distance of approximately 500 feet between the project site and the existing campus core, significant sitework is required to provide a visual and physical connection between the two locations. Pedestrian circulation with adjacent shade structures and outdoor recreation areas are required. The current vehicular circulation will be re-designed to ensure pedestrian safety, emergency, service and public vehicle access. An open space adjacent to the building shall be designed for student and community events. A campus clock tower will be included in the area adjacent to the new building. Utility extensions/connections vary and are approximately 500-1,200 linear feet from the new building site.
