Los Banos RSOQ No. 1521

City of Los Banos Fire Station No. 4 and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Project

The City of Los Banos is the government buyer for this award, specifically for the design-build of Fire Station #4. The contract involves design-build entities (DBEs) submitting qualifications and proposals for the project. The awarded construction GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) is $13 million. The contract requires DBEs to have liability insurance with a minimum policy limit of $5,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate, and $10,000,000 in excess liability from a California admitted company with a Best Rating of A:VII or better. The project includes design and construction services with a design duration estimated at four months, though the city may consider a slightly longer timeframe. The contract emphasizes safety performance with an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) evaluated over a 5-year average. The project location is Los Banos, California. The city will shortlist two successful DBEs to proceed to the Request for Proposal (RFP) phase, where they must provide an all-in GMP for design and construction. Bridging documents will be provided only to DBEs selected for the RFP stage. The city prefers project experience submissions to focus on overall similarity to the project rather than larger project value, favoring essential services projects. The DBE organizational chart should list only key personnel identified in the resumes section. The city confirms that a properly licensed General Contractor can act as the DBE if contracting with a licensed Design Architect and Architect of Record. The city will provide a stipend only to two successful pre-qualified proposers who submit responsive proposals in the RFP phase. No specific OEMs or vendors are mentioned in the document.
