Bradley County Schools is soliciting proposals from General Contractors to provide Construction Management Services for a new, twelve classroom addition at Bradley Central High School in Cleveland, TN.

The delivery method is Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), which includes both a preconstruction phase and a construction phase. Bradley County Schools (hereafter referred to as "BCS") is soliciting proposals from General Contractors to provide Construction Management Services for a new, twelve classroom addition (the "Project") in Cleveland, TN. The intent of this solicitation is to identify, qualify, and evaluate general contractors (the "Respondents") to bring on board the Project team as construction documents are finalized and permits are secured. The delivery method for this project is commonly known as "Construction Manager at Risk" (CMAR). CMAR consists of a preconstruction phase and a construction phase. Preconstruction responsibilities would commence upon selection and would include a thorough value engineering and constructability review. With fee and general conditions set in this proposal, our goal is to move forward through an open book process to a negotiated GMP with allowances for the construction services. During the preconstruction phase, the Construction Manager ("CM") will collaborate with the Architect on the design, constructability, cost, and schedule of the Project, and develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal to construct the Project. Upon BCS's acceptance of the GMP, BCS will issue a notice to proceed to the CM for the construction phase. If BCS and the CM do not agree upon a GMP, additional Value Analysis shall occur amongst the CM, Architect, and BCS. If these further Value Analysis efforts do not provide an agreeable GMP, BCS will not proceed with the construction phase of the Project with the selected CM. The Bradley County High School Science Wing project includes a new, twelve classroom addition that will also serve as a FEMA storm shelter. The classrooms include science classrooms as well as physical science, biology, and chemistry laboratories. The project also includes a connector to the existing building along with associated minor renovations, a concourse and other functions, and associated site work. The intended period of construction is twelve to fourteen months. This project is funded in part by a federal grant and will require additional pay application review as well as require Davis Bacon Wage compliance. During the project, the CM will work closely with the Architect and school personnel to ensure schedule constrains are met and the safety of students is always maintained as a top priority. The form of agreement between the Owner and CM will be an AIA A133-2019 - Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Constructor and AIA 195 Amendment for GMP with AIA A201 General Conditions. The contract will be administered by Cope Architecture. Additionally, Bradley County Schools has a designated representative. The project will include liquidated damages as determined for the period of performance established at the time of the GMP. The CM is required to post a bond of 10% of the value of the services to be provided plus the value of the work to be managed (TCA 62-6-129). RFP responses must be valid for 30 days from submittal. Upon evaluation, the architect and Owner's Representatives will make recommendation to the Bradley County School Board. The school board must approve award to proceed with the contract. Only materials provided in conjunction with this RFP by the architect will be considered provisions of the RFP.
