CMAR for 911 Call Center Project.pdf

This is a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) project specification document for a 911 Call Center facility in North Carolina. The project involves the design and construction of a new approximately 18,000-square-foot facility intended to support future operational growth and accommodate up to 30 employees. The facility will include a large training room designated to host regional public safety training to enhance coordination across agencies. The building design prioritizes resilience and safety as core principles, engineered to withstand identified risks and equipped with redundancies to ensure uninterrupted 911 operations during emergencies. The scope encompasses architectural and engineering services through the construction manager at risk delivery method, which requires the selected firm to provide preconstruction services, cost estimation, and constructability review prior to final construction phase initiation.

The document establishes the framework for a CMAR engagement structure where the construction manager will work collaboratively with the design team and owner to develop the project scope, schedule, and budget during the preconstruction phase before transitioning to construction oversight. Key considerations include the facility's critical infrastructure designation requiring specialized coordination with public safety entities, compliance with emergency preparedness standards, and redundant systems design to maintain 911 center operations. Funding sources and specific budget parameters should be detailed in the contract award documents, with the project anticipated to provide significant regional benefits through enhanced training capabilities and improved emergency response infrastructure.
