About this file
This document pertains to Questions #1 regarding RFP769-24-23-01-2307CS for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for a new residence hall project at the University of North Texas (UNT). The project will be constructed in multiple phases, with the initial phase constructing approximately 600 beds and a possible second phase of approximately 400 additional beds. The scope of services will include pre-construction and CMAR services, with substantial completion anticipated by March 2026. The document provides responses to various questions raised by potential respondents, clarifying the requirements and scope of the project.
The document indicates that a General Conditions and General Requirements Breakdown is not required with the proposal, as the matrix provided is to inform respondents on what is considered General Conditions, Fee, and Cost of Work at the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) stage. The document also confirms that the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan (HSP) is a criterion that counts towards the page limitation, and that CMAR services are required for Phase 1 only, with Phase 2 being a separate project if funding is available. Additionally, the document provides various clarifications on the project's construction budget, site location, building specifications, and work hours.
