Measure P Subcommittee 06/02/2026

The City of San Rafael Measure P Subcommittee convened on June 2, 2026, to discuss updates on the progressive design-build process for a community center project funded by Measure P. The subcommittee reviewed the timeline for issuing the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), scheduled for June 15, 2026, with nine interested design-build teams expected to participate. The process includes mandatory pre-RFQ meetings, evaluation of qualifications and financial proposals, shortlisting, and interviews, with a final recommendation anticipated by the August 31 subcommittee meeting. The subcommittee emphasized the importance of design excellence and community engagement in the selection criteria. Additionally, an update was provided on the development of a project labor agreement (PLA) modeled after Marin County's PLA to ensure a skilled workforce and smooth project execution. Community input from a recent survey was also reviewed to guide design priorities, highlighting preferences for nature-inspired, open, and airy spaces, with arts and creative programs as top priorities. The meeting included discussions on procurement procedures, contract templates, and the integration of community feedback into the design process.
