Site work and new construction of a water / sewer project in Perry, Georgia. Completed plans call for the construction of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Project is best described as the design, permitting, and construction of a new 2.5 MGD wastewater treatment facility, along with associated office space and site development, using the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) procurement method. The City has engaged an Engineer of Record through this RFQP for the required permitting, design, and construction phase services for the Project. The City now intends to engage a CMAR firm, contingent upon project funding, for Pre-Construction and Construction Phase services in order to construct the project on a fixed budget and an aggressive schedule. For violation of this provision, the City reserves the right to reject the proposal of the offending proposer. The total budget for program management, EOR services, and preconstruction and construction CMAR services for the proposed facility is currently $50,000,000. CMAR Contract will be executed on or about December 16, 2022. Project milestones to be delivered by the CMAR Firm include: Completion of Preconstruction Phase Services of September 30, 2023. Substantial completion of September 30, 2025 Final completion of December 31, 2025, including commissioning, startup and testing. Deadline for Submission of Questions: September 28, 2022 Issues Response to Questions by: October 3, 2022 All questions or comments should be directed to the Owner Contact as follows: Matt Taylor, PE GWES 733 Carroll Street, Perry, Georgia 3 - Project Approach Provide a conceptual description (12 page limit) of the CMAR Firm's approach for managing and performing its services during the Project's preconstruction and construction phases. It should address the following items: o Discuss how a collaborative relationship with the Owner and Design Engineer would be established during preconstruction-phase development, scheduling, cost estimating and risk management. o Communications (with owner and design engineer) o Discuss how the design and construction processes will interface (including how constructability issues, construction document packaging, value engineering and risk issues will be addressed). o Identify the work elements critical to the Project's success and how these components will be addressed . o Describe the process for developing the GMP or fixed-price proposal at 60-90% design completion (defined by the owner and including the approach to establishing contingency) and for developing early-out equipment and/or construction package GMPs. o Identify and discuss key Project risk factors and the approach for mitigation. Include Preliminary Risk Register in Appendix C. o Provide a narrative on the approach to Project safety. o Provide a narrative on the approach to delivering a quality project. o Discuss the Project schedule and identify the specific approach to meeting the schedule. Include a Preliminary Schedule in Appendix B. o Adherence to the GMP or fixed price during the construction phase o Preconstruction phase: CMAR Firm will provide preconstruction services (as described in Attachment B, Scope of CMAR Services) to support the Owner's chosen Design Engineer in developing the design. During this phase, the design engineer will advance the design to the level of completion necessary to define the project and will provide construction-ready documents prior to the initiation of the construction-phase services. When the engineering firm's design reaches 90% completion, the CMAR Firm will present a construction schedule and an open-book guaranteed maximum price (GMP) or fixed price proposal to the Owner in accordance with the CMAR contract, which includes the cost of the work through commissioning and start-up, general conditions pricing, overhead and profit either as a percent (%) mark up, and a negotiated contractor contingency. When the Owner and CMAR Firm have agreed on the construction price, the construction-phase services are authorized and initiated. (If the Owner and the CMAR Firm are unable to agree on a price for construction-phase services, the Owner reserves the right to terminate the existing CMAR Contract and begin negotiations with another CMAR firm, or direct the Design Engineer to complete the design and prepare construction documents for public bidding of the Project.) o Construction phase: If the owner and CMAR firm agree on a price for construction-phase services, the CMAR Firm will procure all subcontractors and vendors, and will be responsible for the Project's construction, startup, commissioning, operator training, performance testing, and warranty services as agreed to in the CMAR Contract. This RFP is subject to revision after the date of issuance via written addenda. Any such addenda will be transmitted to the list of potential Proposers maintained by the Owner and or its Representative. It is each Proposer's responsibility, to obtain all RFP addenda prior to submitting its proposal.
