Project Number - PW26480024 The City of Phoenix is seeking a qualified Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) to provide preconstruction services and complete construction services for the Police Crime Lab Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Building Automation System (BAS) Controls project. The selected CMAR will work as a team with the designer of record and City staff to ensure an efficient design approach for the project. The project site is located at 621 W. Washington Street. The estimated construction cost is $10 million. A Small Business Enterprise goal will be established prior to the start of construction. For questions, contact Kandi Kawolsky, Contracts Specialist at 602-256-4108. Email all questions to: kandi.kawolsky@phoenix.gov Reference RFx 6000001540 in your email subject line The Phoenix Police Department Crime Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility responsible for analysis of on average over 75,000 items of evidence each year from crime scenes in the city of Phoenix. To analyze this evidence, the employees rely on technology and safety controls. The evidence they handle daily is required to be prepared and analyzed appropriately not only to ensure it does not become contaminated by the employee, but also to ensure the employee is not endangered by the item of evidence. For example, many of the items analyzed are biohazardous material containing blood or other bodily fluids. Other items may be chemicals and drugs, such as fentanyl which can be very dangerous if the analyst is exposed due to failing protective equipment and safety controls. To safely complete the job duties of the analysts in the Crime Lab, the building is required to have proper control of airflows within the laboratories themselves, as well as in the fume hoods and biosafety cabinets used during the preparation and analysis of crime scene evidence. In addition, the Crime Lab possesses millions of dollars of high-tech equipment, which is used to analyze the evidence. Repairs of the current heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system and the building automation system, require the construction firm chosen to have experience with highly technical laboratory functions and building design. The purpose of this project is to repair and replace equipment in the crime lab to ensure the building has proper control of airflows within the laboratories, as well as in the fume hoods and biosafety cabinets used during preparation and analysis of crime scene evidence. The construction will be phased to allow the lab to continue to operate during construction. As such, careful planning with the laboratory staff will be required to schedule phasing and utility shutdowns with minimal impacts. Erection of temporary construction barriers and use of HEPAfiltered negative air machines is expected. The preferred contractor will have experience within the last seven years as the primary contractor in the construction or renovation of public safety facilities and/or laboratory facilities that exceed $3 million in total construction costs. The Construction Manager at Risk will begin with the firm in an agency support role for preconstruction services. The CMAR will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract. The CMAR will be responsible for construction means and methods, and will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors to perform the work using the City's subcontractor selection process. The GMP must be submitted in MAG or CSI format or it will not be accepted.
