Introduction: You work for a small to medium sized construction company. You have just received notice of an opportunity to compete for a small construction contract to be let by the South by Southwest Consolidated School District (SSCSD). The school district has just completed a new 4A high school and requires a sports and equipment storage building that can be used to store sports related equipment items such as soccer goals, track hurdles, and football blocking and tackling aids. Additionally, the storage building will be used to store mechanical equipment that is used to maintain the athletic fields to include large lawnmowers, field striping machines and weed eaters. The school district has requested a proposal from your firm and others to design and build the storage building. This document constitutes the formal Request for Proposal.

Client Background: Your prospective client, the SSCSD is located in the Texas Hill Country. The recent influx of new residents has dramatically increased the number of high school aged students in the district and the forecast is that the number of students will continue to grow over the next 10 years.

To address the current and anticipated needs, the SSCSD has just completed construction of a new high school that is slated to open its doors in time for the beginning of the school year next fall. In addition to the new high school, the SSCSD operates one additional high school, three middle schools and seven elementary schools. The goal of the SSCSD is to provide an outstanding and well-rounded education to all of the students in the district, and to create bright futures for every student and the community it serves.
