REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) No. 23-2455

General Contract/Construction Manager (GC/CM) Services - Louisa May Alcott & Samantha Smith Elementary Schools - Modernization or Rebuild & Enlarge

RESPONSE DUE: JULY 25, 2023 @ 2:00 P.M. PST

The Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is accepting proposals from general contracting firms to 
provide GC/CM services.

Project Description: The project consists of the on-site replacement of an existing elementary 
school at Louisa May Alcott (Alcott) and Samantha Smith (Smith) Elementary School sites, and 
associated site support spaces, parking, utilities, storm water detention. There are two phases of 
construction for this project which includes construction at two existing elementary schools. The 
first phase of construction is the Alcott Core Expansion with Mahlum Architects as the architect of 
record. For the subsequent phase(s), LWSD is in the process of selecting an architect who will be                                                                                                                providing a prototypical design for both new Alcott and Smith.

The Alcott Core Expansion project is currently funded. The Alcott and Smith Modernization or 
Rebuild & Enlarge Projects are funded through 50% schematic design.  Subsequent design phase and 
construction on the Alcott and Smith Modernization or Rebuild & Enlarge Projects are not currently                                                                                                                    funded, and this scope is contingent upon pending future funding. LWSD anticipates that the project                                                                                                              will be authorized on a phased basis, as funding is confirmed and received.
