RFP NO. 26-025 CMAR SERVICES FOR BILL MILLER/KALMON MALONE PARK AND CARVER GYM

The City of Albany, Procurement Division, 222 Pine Avenue, Suite 260, Albany, GA, 31701 will receive sealed proposals
from qualified individuals/firms, until 5:00 pm, December 03, 2025. The Bill Miller/Kalman Malone Park and Carver Gym
projects will be delivered through the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) method to expedite schedules and ensure
compliance with the Improving Neighborhood Outcomes in Disproportionally Impacted Communities (INODIC) grant
requirements. The CMAR will provide preconstruction services such as cost estimating, constructability reviews, value
engineering, and schedule optimization to align project design with available funding and compliance standards. Each
project has been awarded $2.2 million in INODIC grant funds, with a target expenditure date of August 31, 2026, allowing
time for final certifications and assurances before the grant closeout deadline of October 31, 2026. During construction,
the CMAR will serve as the general contractor under a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), managing procurement, quality
control, and scheduling to maintain efficiency and cost certainty. This approach enables early material procurement and
phased construction starts, reducing overall project duration. By combining both projects under a single CMAR framework,
the City of Albany will benefit from economies of scale, coordinated procurement, and consistent quality, ensuring timely,
cost-effective delivery in full compliance with INODIC and SPLOST funding requirements.
