Construction Management Services at Manhattan Psychiatric Center and Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center - Term Contract

The Office of General Services, Design and Construction (OGS D&C) is seeking proposals to enter into a contract to provide construction management services as outlined in the scope of services. OGS D&C intends to award one (1) contract with an initial value approximately $4,600,000.00 for the duration of three (3) years with two (2) one-year optional renewals. The State will utilize a “Best Value” selection process to ensure optimum quality, cost, and efficiency among responsive and responsible firms. For purposes of this Request for Proposals (RFP), the term “Owner” refers to OGS D&C.

The Construction Manager (CM) shall act as an adviser to OGS D&C during the Design Phase of various projects, and as the partner of OGS D&C in a collaborative relationship with OGS D&C staff during the Design and Construction Phases to review the documents, organize and direct the timely completion of various projects and assure compliance with the contract documents.

A Project Labor Agreement (PLA) may be contemplated for individual projects. If determined prudent and economically viable, the selected CM will be a signatory agent of the PLA. Failure to agree to be a signatory to the PLA will result in a non-responsive proposal. Upon execution of a PLA, the selected CM shall provide OGS a PLA Monitoring Plan, including how they will ensure vendors’ compliance to PLA provisions and steps taken to resolve PLA disagreements.

Services will include, but not be limited to design/constructability review including code review, field check, cost projections and review, value engineering, bid package review, Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, claims analysis and construction management services including code and project safety inspections, and administrative duties. Special consideration shall be placed on managing several concurrently active projects, each project with multi-prime contracts (Wicks Law compliant), project planning including work sequencing and coordination of activities to minimize impacts from the facility’s high-level security controls and due to the confined nature of the site. The CM will also provide staffing on the project to assist D&C personnel in organizing and directing the completion of the project to achieve occupancy on or before the specified date.
