Summary : On May 29, 2024 the Douglas County School District (DCSD) Construction Department issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to all twenty-six (26) DCSD pre-qualified architects for the new elementary school in Sterling Ranch. The RFQ included two phases; Phase 1 for an initial Concept Design, and Phase 2 for the complete design and construction administration of the new elementary school. Submittals were received from thirteen (13) firms and reviewed by staff which resulted in eight (8) firms being shortlisted and interviewed. The interview panel consisted of the Chief Operations Officer, an Executive Director of Schools, Director of Construction, Director of Operations & Maintenance, and Construction Department staff. The panel selected MOA Architecture for this project. Phase 1 of the project was awarded since the fee was less than the amount requiring Board of Education approval, and the Concept Design was completed on August 22, 2024. Phase 2 of the project, which requires Board of Education approval based on the fee amount, includes the remaining architectural and engineering design and construction administration services for the new Sterling Ranch elementary school in the 2024 Bond. These services are required for this project, therefore, an Architect Agreement was issued to MOA Architecture for $3,204,905 (7.1% of the construction costs), plus reimbursable expenses. The fee for the contracted services has been verified and is within industry standards. This project and fee were included in the 2024 Bond planning budgets and these funds will be utilized for this award.
