Fall 2008 update and projected projects

Update and projected projects
Updates generally are posted following our monthly Governing Board meeting when official awards are made. These
meetings are the fourth Tuesday of each month except December when it is the second Tuesday of the month.
End of January updates in glowing fireplace ORANGE
End of February updates in PURPLE
Listed below are the larger general funded and bond funded project awards and projects that we
anticipate may be approved by our Governing Board in the next four to six months. Also shown
are projected bids and requests for proposals (RFP’s). Colleges must develop and submit education
specs for their major new construction and remodeling projects prior to Board action, and this
activity is initiated by the colleges. Following Board approval, RFP’s will be issued for design teams
and for the larger projects, CMARs.
Projects awarded to consultants under Annual Services agreements or to contractors under Job Order
Contracting purchase orders are not listed.
Our capital development policy requires that we have operating money available to open and support
new facilities before we can start any portion of the project, including the original project approval
by our Board, consultant or CMAR selection.
RFP’s and other bid or proposal opportunities are listed on the Purchasing website:
https://business.maricopa.edu/purchasing/for-vendors#bidopportunities
Vendor registration for all of our bids and proposals can be obtained at

If you have general questions about our projects, program or the District, please send me an e-mail
at: arlen.solochek@domail.maricopa.edu. Our department website is

Project managers are listed for each project and can be contacted by e-mail for specific updates or
information. We may not have much more information (size, cost, content or timing) than what is
listed below until the colleges submit a first draft of their education specs.
Thanks for your continued interest and supporting our bond and capital programs.

Upcoming Projects:
Please do not contact colleges directly for any of the following projects. In fairness to everyone
who may propose on our projects, neither we nor the college should provide individual
consultant or contractor tours or meetings for a specific project in advance of the RFP being
issued. The colleges will refer you to our project manager anyway. Please honor this request
so that we will know that you really will be listening later on to what we want. Thanks in
advance for your cooperation!
