Introduction: Subject to conditions prescribed by the University of California, Santa Barbara (“University”), prequalification documents for a Design-Build contract are sought from prospective proposers for the Santa Cruz Island Reserve Container Homes Build Out project. The University’s primary objective in utilizing the design-build approach is to bring the best available integrated design and construction experience to this project. The University has determined that proposers who submit proposals on this project must be prequalified.

The container homes have been placed and will serve as staff accommodations at the University’s field station site on Santa Cruz Island.  Contractor shall provide build out of the container homes, as specified in the University Construction Documents.  Trade work includes electrical, plumbing, drywall and other trades necessary for build out of the container homes, tie-in to utilities, and fit out of the two (2), two-bedroom, two-bathroom, insulated, factory-fabricated container residences. The contractor’s personnel will travel to Santa Cruz Island via boat and then travel overland to the construction site. The successful Contractor will be provided limited access to field station dorms, which include a kitchen (food not provided), bathrooms and sleeping accommodations at no cost to Contractor.  The bridging documents developed by the University-hired design professional have been used in the formulation of a cost estimate to establish a projected range for the estimated construction cost relative to the University’s project goals.   The successful proposer will be contracted to complete the final design and construct the build out based on the design criteria described within the Request for Proposals that will be issued by the University to prequalified contractors.

The successful design-build contractor will be contracted to design and construct the project based on the design criteria described within the Request for Proposals (“RFP”) that will be issued by the University to prequalified contractors.
