NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE CM/CONTRACTORS The University of California, San Diego, intends to award a Contract for pre-construction services with a University Option for Construction for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Addition and Renovation project. The University desires to retain a contractor through competitively bidding the Project, to provide Pre- Construction Services during the Project construction document period and to act as a general contractor to construct the Project as the construction documents are completed. The Option Sum bid by the CM/Contractor shall represent all costs for CM/Contractor's Base Fee, General Conditions Work, and all other costs to construct the Project as a general contractor. The CM/Contractor, after authorization by the University, will competitively bid the various Bid Packages representing the Construction Work required to complete the Project. 3. PREQUALIFICATION OF PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS The University has determined that the CM/Contractors who submit bids to University on this Project must be prequalified.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK The proposed project for the University of California, San Diego s Computer Science & Engineering Department is a combination of new and renovated instructional, meeting, and circulation spaces to the existing CSE building. The work associated with this project involves approximately 9,800 Overall Gross Square Feet (OGSF) of combined addition and renovation, of which 5,600 is Assignable Square Feet (ASF). The proposed ground level one-story addition will add approximately 4,200 OGSF of new space, primarily a multi-use space and conference rooms. A new staircase will connect the ground level to the basement level UCSD 10/14/03 Page 1 of 7 GENERAL INFORMATION FOR
where approximately 5,600 GSF of existing space will be renovated. The main entry and adjacent exterior patio area will also be improved. The design of the project is at the beginning of the Design Development phase. The successful CM/Contractor will be responsible for Construction Management services during the preconstruction phase. The CM/Contractor will provide pre-construction services including construction cost analysis, availability of various materials and labor, construction feasibility of various building materials, systems and equipment, construction document review and coordination, developing the scope of bid packages, constructability review and development of the construction schedule including a recommended schedule of purchase of long lead items. The CM/Contractor will develop the bid packages for subcontractors/suppliers/vendors/etc., prequalify and review subcontractor bids, procure subcontracts for the work by use of competitive bidding procedures which comply with all governmental and Regental requirements and, contract directly for all of the bid work. The University will have no direct relationship with subcontractors.

At the time the Level I Prequalification Questionnaire is submitted, the Joint Venture entity itself must demonstrate its ability to obtain adequate bonding and insurance. It is not sufficient that some or all of the individual members of the Joint Venture entity can obtain bonding and insurance. At the time the Level I prequalification questionnaire is submitted, the Joint Venture entity itself must demonstrate previous construction experience as set forth above. Joint Venture teams newly-formed to pursue this prequalification opportunity are not eligible for Level I prequalification.

Level II Prequalification The above criteria has been established to determine Level I prequalification status for prospective CM/Contractors. Firms which successfully achieve Level I status will be advanced to Level II analysis. Level II Interviews This second phase of prequalification will involve submission of specific Level II submittal requirements and an interview with the principals of the CM/Contractor, and the proposed Project Team. By submittal of the Level I prequalification questionnaire, the prospective CM/Contractor commits to providing the staff named in that submittal to the project. At the time of bid, the CM/Contractor will be required to confirm the assignment of staff to the project. Substitution of project staff named in the Level I Prequalification Questionnaire may result in the bid being considered non-responsive. Only CM/Contractors which successfully achieve Level I AND Level II prequalification status will be considered fully-prequalified for successful and timely performance of the work required by this project. The contract, if awarded, will be issued to the fully-prequalified CM/Contractor submitting the lowest responsive bid for this project. The University reserves the right to terminate the Agreement for professional services of the CM/Contractor at completion of Phase 1 of the contract, Pre-Construction Services. Should the University elect to do so, the University reserves the right to publicly bid the project for a traditional lump sum contract. UCSD 10/14/03 Page 7 of 7 GENERAL INFORMATION FOR
