Background and Purpose

King and Queen County Board of Supervisors (“KQBS”) has initiated the planning and design phases of a new elementary school to be constructed adjacent to King and Queen High School at 17024 The Trail, King and Queen Court House, VA, 23085. Grimm + Parker Architects has been selected as the

Architect/Engineer of Record. KQBS has also selected Skanska USA Building Inc. as their Owner’s

Representative. Design work is underway. The successful CMaR will be expected to provide preconstruction phase services to include cost estimating, scheduling, logistics planning, and constructability review services.

The size of the building is approximately 64,565 square feet. It is the intent for the school system to be able to occupy the building in Fall 2028.

The Owner anticipates using phased Guaranteed Maximum Prices (GMPs), including an Early Site

Package, Long-Lead Procurement Package, and Building Construction Package, to facilitate an accelerated schedule. The selected CMaR will collaborate with the Owner and the A/E during preconstruction to develop and refine the final sequencing, procurement strategy, schedule, and phased

GMP approach. The following milestone project schedule is anticipated:

Schematic Design: February 2026 – September 2026

Design Development: September 2026 – December 2026

90% CD Package: March 2027

Early Site Package (GMP #1): January – May 2027

Building Construction Start: June 2027

Substantial Completion: October 2028
