CONTRACT AWARD
The Project is to be performed pursuant to the AIA A133-2019 Standard Form of
Agreement, with payment based on the cost of work, plus a fee and with a
guaranteed maximum price (GMP). The successful proposer shall serve as the
Contractor and Construction Manager at Risk (CM) for the Project. Award of this

School District to award this contract to one Contractor, under one contract.
Proposals will be opened by the Office of the Director of Construction of the School
District after 2 p.m., Thursday July 2, 2026. Proposals will be distributed to an
Evaluation Committee who will meet to discuss and evaluate in order to make a
recommendation on the award.
INTERVIEW AND SELECTION
At the discretion of the Evaluation Committee, the proposer receiving the highest
score shall be interviewed by the Evaluation Committee. After the interview process,
the Evaluation Committee will make a recommendation to the Superintendent of the
School District on the award of the contract.
PROPOSED PROJECT SCHEDULE
It is the intent of the School District to award the contract for the Project within 45
(forty-five) days after the opening of the proposals. After being awarded the contract
and as part of the preconstruction services, the CM will work with the School District
and the Architect to provide scheduling input and advice in finalizing the construction
schedule.
PROJECT APPROACH
The Project Team will consist of the School District's representative, the Project
Architect and any other consultants of the School District, and the construction team
of the CM, and the CM's subcontractors, all working together in a cooperative
"partnering" manner.
The CM will begin by performing pre-construction services with the Project Team.
Services will include conceptual and detailed budgeting and estimating,
constructability reviews, evaluation of alternative materials and equipment and
systems for performance of the work. The CM will work with the School District to
finalize the scheduling of the work. As design proceeds, the CM will also conduct a
review of the plans and specifications for completeness and cost effectiveness of
the details and materials shown for the work. Input from this review, with
suggestions for improvement, will be provided to the School District and the Project
Architect. On completion of the plans and specifications, or at an earlier date if
mutually agreed upon, the CM will develop the GMP for the Project. Provided that
the GMP is equal to or less than the School District's approved budget, the contract
amount (GMP) will be established and construction may proceed. The contract will
be for the cost of the work plus a fee, with a guaranteed maximum amount. The
contract will provide that all Construction Manager estimates, cost analyses,
schedules, phasing plans and post-proposal pre-construction documents, and
subcontractor and material supplier quotations will be available to the School District
JROTC Competition Rifle Range Page 3 of 12

and other members of the Project Team as the School District or School District's
Representative may direct.
If the initial proposed GMP is greater than the School District's budget, the GMP will
not be finalized until it is equal to or less than the School District's budget or adjusted
budget. During the post-proposal pre-construction period, the CM will cooperate
with the Project Team in determining the areas where costs are greater than the
School District's budget. The CM will work with the Project Team in developing
suggestions for changes to materials, building systems and/or scope needed to
bring the estimates into compliance with the School District's budget.
Proposers should show in their response their unique capabilities and experience
that bring value to the process.
INSURANCE
If awarded the contract, the CM is required to have the following insurance coverage:
A. Workers Comp Statutory
B. General Liability $1,000,000
(Property Damage and Personal Injury)
C. Automobile Liability $1,000,000
(Property Damage and Personal Injury) Combined Single Limit
D. Excess Liability Umbrella $5,000,000
Over Primary Coverage
E. Builder's Risk 100% of the Contract
Amount (GMP)

with A. M. Best Policy Holders Rating of "A" or better and with a financial size

level of quality of services to the owners, and proposer's ability to meet budget
and scheduling requirements, the proposer's response to project needs
during pre-construction and construction, and reference letters attesting to
the proposer's performance. Proposers should address scheduling, as
completion of the Project in a timely manner is a concern.

stated as a percentage of total construction costs. The costs for any and all
estimating and pre-construction services performed during the development

An itemized estimate of proposed general requirements costs for the Project,
using the list attached to this RFP as Schedule 'A'. The list is intended as a
guide only. Some items will not be required for the Project, while there may
be others that are required that are not shown on the list. If an item will be
used on the Project and it will be included in the trade packages, please
indicate that on the line for that item. During the development of the GMP,
this estimate of general requirements costs will be used in the proposer's
estimate, unless the proposer can show to the School District's satisfaction
that scope of the Project or Project conditions have changed sufficiently to
warrant revision to the general requirements cost estimate submitted with
their proposal.
Evaluation will take into consideration both the proposed fee as well as the
proposed general requirement costs.
