PBC Alert 13-008 The Public Building Commission of Chicago has determined that it is in the best interests of the Commission to enter into design-build contracts for the Chicago Public Schools Summer critical renovation projects (Projects). Design-build will provide for material savings of time and cost and the type and size of the Projects are suitable to the design-build procurement method. Design-build entities will be able to define and provide comprehensive scope and performance criteria for the Projects. The PBC therefore intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) pursuant to the requirements of the Public Building Commission Act (50 ILCS 20 et. seq.) (Act) for design-build renovations at multiple sites. The Commission intends to select multiple design-build entities pursuant to this solicitation. All information regarding the Projects and the RFP submittal requirements, evaluation criteria and selection process will be posted on the PBC’s website at https://pbcchicago.com/content/working/opening_display.asp?BID_ID=430 and published as required by the Act.
