General Information

1. Background and Intent

a. Knoxville's Community Development Corporation (“KCDC”) is the public housing authority for the City of Knoxville and for Knox County in Tennessee. KCDC’s affordable housing portfolio includes more than 26 properties with approximately 3,600 dwelling units. In addition to operating its public housing apartments, KCDC oversees approximately 4,097 Section 8 Vouchers and 76 Moderate Rehabilitation units.

Additionally, KCDC serves as the redevelopment agency for the City of Knoxville, managing redevelopment areas, TIFs, and PILOTs.

b. KCDC is soliciting proposals from qualified construction companies who desire to function as the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for both the construction of a new city playground/park along with several park pavilions and an adjacent 17,000+/- square foot, two story commercial building at KCDC’s most recent redevelopment project known as Transforming Western Heights (“Project”). KCDC is soliciting proposals from construction firms with recent, comparable experience as a Construction Manager at Risk (“CMAR”), working under a guaranteed maximum price (GMP), and that are skilled in construction of new mixed-use civic developments with a similar size, scope and complexity.

c. The Project is expected to be owned either by KCDC or a subsidiary of KCDC(“Owner”).

The Project will be capitalized with a variety of financial sources including new market tax credits which will require a specific ownership structure to facilitate the utilization of new market tax credits. KCDC will, however, serve as Project sponsor and developer.

d. This project consists of a preconstruction phase and a construction phase with separate notices to proceed for each phase. During the preconstruction phase, the CMAR will collaborate with the Owner, Owner’s Representative (TBD) and architect (Sanders Pace Architecture) on the design, constructability, cost and schedule of the project, and develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal to construct the project. Upon Owner’s acceptance of the GMP, Owner will issue a contract to the CMAR for the construction phase without additional public competition. If Owner and the CMAR do not agree upon a GMP, Owner will not award the construction phase of the project and will instead issue another solicitation for that phase. See paragraph 23 of this document for more details on Scope of Work.

e. The CMAR shall be incorporated within the project team, which shall consist of the

Owner, Sanders Pace Architects (the “Architects”), a to be determined (TBD) owner’s representative (“Owner’s Rep”) and other consultants as Owner may deem necessary or appropriate (“Project Team”).

The CMAR shall furnish the project team with construction expertise, cost estimating and scheduling during the design process and then manage all trades during the construction.

2. Commercial Building Overview

a. The Project will be located at 0 Reed Street, at the southeast corner of the intersection of Reed Street and West Oak Hill Avenue in Western Heights, Knoxville, Tennessee 37921. The site for the project is approximately 2.5 acres. The Project will include a two story, 17,000 gross square foot (GSF) multi-tenant building and associated parking along with a 1+/- acre playground and park area with a splash pad multiple pavilions / shade structures, and playground equipment. Provided with this solicitation are Schematic Design documents developed by the Architects.

b. During the preconstruction phase, Owner, working with the selected CMAR and Project

Team, desires to review the schematic and design development documents to determine what improvements can be made to design details to improve the construction cost efficiency of the Project; several key factors to be considered include but are not limited to: structural considerations, geotechnical considerations, MEP design, life safety design, vehicular and pedestrian access, maximum utility of the site area and design aesthetics.

The CMAR is expected to play an integral role in assisting the project team to evaluate the Project design documents and make recommendations to improve the overall cost efficiency of the project. The CMAR shall also provide preconstruction services as provided in the contract documents included with this solicitation.

c. The Owner anticipates a 4 or 5-month preconstruction/design phase and a construction start date in early second quarter of 2026.

d. For the purposes of this RFP, Owner is anticipating a total Construction Cost of approximately $16,000,000; with $9,000,000+/- for the building and $7,000,000+/- for the park/playground.

3. Bonds

The Construction Manager will provide both Payment and Performance bonds, each equal to 100% of the construction project’s cost, as a condition precedent to the award of the second phase of the contract.
