It is the City's desire to hire a construction firm with previous experience in constructing indoor athletic facilities. The City is seeking a CMAR with at least 10 years of proven experience in similar projects. Only construction firms demonstrating the experience, capabilities, and availability of qualified staff to provide CMAR services for the Eastside Gym at PARC project will be considered. The City intends to enter into a preconstruction services contract with the selected CMAR firm pursuant to the information contained in this Request for Proposals (RFP). The CMAR firm (which may be referred to within this RFP as "Respondent", "Proposer", or "Construction Firm") will be responsible for collaborating closely with members of the project team, including the Owner, Owner's Project Manager, Design Team, and other consultants contracted by the Owner to deliver a project that meets the specified budget, schedule, and quality requirements. The selected CMAR firm will assist the Owner and its Design Team with cost estimating, value engineering, constructability review throughout the design phase, and development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Upon approval of the GMP, the CMAR shall proceed to implement and construct the improvements per the approved construction drawings and specifications. Successful respondents will clearly demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the project's objectives and exhibit highly qualified abilities to achieve these objectives. The City reserves the right to request subsequent interviews as part of the evaluation process. All questions or concerns shall be submitted via the question submission feature on the City's Supplier Portal. A non-mandatory onsite pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for March 12, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Location: 425 Pennsylvania Ave, Savannah, GA., 31404. This conference will allow construction firms to discuss the scope of services and resolve any questions pertaining to this event prior to submission of their proposal response. PROJECT DISCUSSION A. Project Type: The City intends this project to be completed as a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) project. The intention is for the selected CMAR firm to assist the Owner and its Design Team with cost estimating, value engineering, and constructability review during the design phase, and then upon approval of a Guaranteed Maximum Price, shall build the Eastside Gym at PARC project. B. Project Budget: The established construction budget for the project is $4,270,000. This budget represents the total cost limitation for the project, including all preconstruction and construction fees, labor, materials, equipment, general conditions, a 10% Owner's Contingency, and other miscellaneous project costs. The CMAR is expected to collaborate with the Owner and Design Team to fully vet and manage the project within this budget, ensuring that the total project cost does not exceed the established amount. Any costs beyond this budget will require prior approval from the Owner. C. Contract: The CMAR contract shall be independent of any other consultant contract entered into by the City, such as the architectural design contract. The contract will be based on actual cost of initial services and at a later time a fixed fee, not to exceed a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for construction services. Development of the GMP is based on open book, competitive bids solicited from qualified subcontractors and vendors. All savings, including unused contingency, will be retained by the Owner. If the CMAR fails to negotiate an acceptable GMP, the City can directly utilize the design package to solicit a competitive bid(s) for completion of the entire project. D. Schedule: It is anticipated that the total project schedule, from start of design to completion of construction and closeout, will be approximately twenty-eight (28) months. This includes: Activity Date Conceptual Design November 2024 - March 2025 Schematic Design March - May 2025 Design Development May - July 2025 CMAR Contract Award June 2025 Construction Documents "For Permitting & Pricing" July - September 2025 Permitting and Final Construction Documents October - December 2025 GMP Approval January 2026 Construction January 2026 - January 2027 Installation of FF&E and Closeout January - February 2027 The project is planned so that the CMAR will join the project team during design development which will fall approximately 6 months from the start of the project. Note: The projected schedule provided should be used as a working guide for planning purposes. The City reserves the right to adjust this timetable as required during the course of the project. E. Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP): The CMAR will be responsible for updating estimated construction costs throughout the design process. Upon completion of the design phase, the CMAR will submit their base bid (GMP) along with any bid alternates. Upon receipt of the CMAR's GMP pricing, the Owner may choose to negotiate with the CMAR to make final adjustments to the Project scope and construction documents to reconcile the Project scope and GMP pricing. The GMP will be presented to City Council for final approval as an amendment to the original Agreement.
