UCLA Health requests a written response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select up to four Executive Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) Engineering firms to design a series of projects identified in the UCLA Health Facilities Equipment Replacement Master Plan (Project # CP1680). UCLA Health is anticipating the need for multiple individual building infrastructure equipment replacement projects within various University-owned Acute Care (OSHPD 1), Ambulatory Care (OSHPD 3), and other non-OSHPD facilities at the UCLA Westwood, Santa Monica Health, and West Valley campuses, and other OSHPD 1, OSHPD 3, and/or non-OSHPD UCLA Health facilities. The buildings included in this RFQ, but not limited to, are as follows:

A. Westwood
a) Acute Care (OSHPD 1) - Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (RRUMC)
b) Ambulatory Care (OSHPD 3) - Peter Morton Medical Building (MP200), Wendy and Leonard Goldberg Medical Building (MP300), and Edie and Lew Wasserman Building
B. Santa Monica
a) Acute Care (OSHPD 1) - Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center (SMUMC)
b) Ambulatory Care (OSHPD 3) - Santa Monica Medical Office Building (SMMOB)
C. West Valley

b) Ambulatory Care (OSHPD 3) - MRI Center, Advanced Wound Care Center, and Acute Surgery Center
D. Other Non-OSHPD Health Owned Buildings

Projects initiated under this RFQ will be funded between January 2026 and December 2029, located in one of the above-listed buildings and other buildings of UCLA Health facilities. They will have project scopes that include the replacement of facility infrastructure equipment. UCLA Health reserves the right to assign projects based on the best alignment of each MEP Engineering firm's qualifications, relevant experience, and available staffing to support each specific proposed project scope and scheduling requirements. The construction cost for this series of infrastructure equipment replacement projects has not yet been determined and will be defined by the scope of work and phasing requirements for each project. Each project scope of work may be executed through several phased and separate incremental projects. The anticipated project cost range may be between approximately $500K-$10M per individual project, with an expected total cost for the entire master plan scope of work being between $5M-$50M per fiscal year.

The University may select up to four Executive MEP Engineer(s) based on qualifications submitted in response to this RFQ. UCLA will select the Executive MEP Engineer(s) based on qualifications in response to this RFQ. Candidate firms may submit for one project site (Group A, Group B, Group C, or Group D) or multiple sites. Candidates do not need to submit separate sets of booklets if submitting for multiple sites. Candidates may use the same submittal for all sites, provided the Health Campus of interest is correctly identified in the cover letter, and all submittal requirements are met.

The selection committee will base its review of the Executive MEP Engineers' submitted proposals and selection on the identified Selection Criteria (Attachment A). The University may select one or more firms for each Health campus and/or individual Health campus building.

The final selection and appointment of the Executive MEP Engineer is contingent upon project approval by the UC Board of Regents or their delegated authority. This RFQ is for complete design services. However, the University reserves the right to defer negotiations for services other than pre-design studies until the completion of the pre-design phase.

The selection committee will base its review of the Executive MEP Engineer's submitted proposals and selection on the identified Selection Criteria (Attachment A). This RFQ is for full design services comprising essential MEP engineering, architecture, and infrastructure design and planning. The services include schematic design, design development, construction documents, cost estimates, assistance during the bid/award phases, construction administration, record-keeping, and project closeout.

Description of Work
ADVERTISEMENT FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT

UCLA requests a written response to this Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the purpose of selecting a Landscape Architect for the proposed UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden Amphitheater Renovation (Project No.907130.01). The botanical garden is in the southeast portion of the main campus at 707 Tiverton Drive, just south of the La Kretz Pavilion and Botany Building. It is a 7.5-acre public garden, outdoor classroom, and research facility that promotes botanical knowledge by curating collections that highlight biogeography, conservation, and natural history. The Garden aims to foster environmental and cultural appreciation of plants and their connection to society through education, research, and public outreach. The beautiful setting fosters health and tranquility for the community.

This RFQ is to acquire a consultant team consisting of a prime Landscape Architect and their sub-consultants to renovate the amphitheater.

Renovations will include both site and program improvements. The amphitheater is used for both teaching and events. Upgrades include improving ADA access to the site, increasing seating capacity, installing poured concrete with wood seat tops and seat backs, enhancing drainage, providing electrical for lighting and outlets, constructing DG walkways and retaining walls, a stage, and addressing acoustic considerations.

Construction costs are estimated at 1.6 million, and the scope may be prioritized or phased to align with available funds. The project's implementation depends on funding availability.

The final selection and appointment of the architect for the proposed project are contingent upon approval of the project by the University of California Board of Regents or its designated authority, and in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The selection committee will base its review of the Landscape Architect's submitted proposals and selection on the identified Selection Criteria (Attachment A). This RFQ is for full design services; however, the University reserves the right to defer negotiations concerning services other than pre-design studies until the completion of the pre-design phase.

The design shall comply with the University of California Policy on Sustainable Practices concerning green building design and energy efficiency. The project must meet the California Energy Code (Title 24) energy efficiency standards and incorporate sustainability principles into the renovated building's systems, components, and portions. The design shall comply with the University of California Policy on Sustainable Practices to achieve a minimum LEEDTM Gold Rating.

The complete RFQ packet will be available at http://www.uclaplanroom.com on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. Responses to the RFQ are due by or before 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
