About this file
This is a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Fee Proposal Form for the City of Bowling Green, Kentucky's Riverfront Park Phase II project, issued under RFP 2026-54 pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statutes 45A.183. The solicitation requests qualified firms to provide preconstruction and construction phase services for this public capital improvement project. Preconstruction services are estimated to have a duration of 2-3 months and include cost estimating, constructability review, value engineering, schedule development, subcontractor bid packaging, long-lead procurement planning, risk identification, and permitting coordination. Construction phase services encompass general conditions and CMAR fee components. The total project budget is $10,000,000, with the Cost of Work estimated in the range of $7,500,000-$8,500,000 subject to GMP negotiation at approximately 90% construction documents.
Fee proposals consist of three components: a lump sum preconstruction services fee, a lump sum for general conditions covering the full construction duration, and a CMAR fee expressed as a percentage of the Cost of Work. Fee proposals are not evaluated or scored as part of the qualitative selection process but serve as the starting point for post-selection negotiation with the top-ranked firm. Respondents must submit Exhibit 2 supporting schedules detailing personnel rate breakdowns for preconstruction services and itemized monthly general conditions costs. The City reserves the right to reject any proposed GMP that exceeds the project budget and to terminate the preconstruction agreement if a mutually acceptable GMP cannot be reached. Following GMP execution, all trade packages shall be competitively bid, with any savings below the GMP reverting to the Owner. The City retains open-book audit rights to all project costs, subcontractor bids, and contingency draws throughout construction and at closeout. CMAR contingency is not proposed in this RFP but will be negotiated during GMP development.
