PREQUALIFICATION OF PROSPECTIVE ELECTRICAL SUBTRADE BIDDERS

Subject to conditions prescribed by PCL Construction Services, Inc (hereafter “CM/Contractor”), responses to the CM/Contractor’s prequalification documents for Construction contracts are sought from prospective subcontractor bidders (hereafter “subcontractors”) for the East Campus Student Housing project.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WORK: UCSB East Campus Student Housing project, located on the main UC Santa Barbara campus, is one of the two projects on the UCSB campus that will provide 3,500 new beds outlined in the University’s Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). The East Campus Student Housing project is envisioned as a new LEED Gold residential community, including a dinning component and a range of amenities. This project will provide approximately 1,687 beds integrated amongst the existing East Campus residential halls. These 1,687 beds include approximately 1,275 new beds to reach the 3,500 total new beds in conjunction with San Benito plus approximately 412 residence hall beds to replace the Santa Rosa residence hall being displaced by the project. Of the new beds, approximately 705 will be provided in traditional apartments similar to those in San Benito and the remaining approximately 570 will be in apartment suites, a more efficient floor plan that encourages social interactions to occur primarily outside of the units. The resident halls and apartment suites have a planned opening for the Fall 2028 quarter and the apartments have a planned opening for the Fall 2029 quarter. The new student apartments and residence hall style housing will be designed to house first year, transfer, and second year students in a vibrant community that attracts students to live on campus and satisfy the demand for student housing in an otherwise constrained and expensive local housing market.
