RFQ No. 1012-26-075 Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Services - Attachment K - 1 - Exceptions Form.xlsx

This is an Exceptions Form attachment to a Request for Qualifications issued by GoTriangle, a regional public transportation authority in North Carolina, for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Services related to the expansion, renovation, and modernization of the Nelson Road Bus Operations and Maintenance Facility. The project, which emerged from GoTriangle's 2022 Regional Fleet & Facility Study, encompasses design and construction services for a facility expansion anticipated to support the organization's fleet and service expansion needs over a 40+ year service life. The planning-level project budget is approximately $35.2 million in 2022 dollars, with regional transit capital plans reflecting approximately $40 million in 2023 dollars, inclusive of design, construction, and contingency costs.

The project is supported by federal funding sources through the Federal Transit Administration, including grants for low- and no-emission vehicles and electric charging infrastructure, with additional discretionary funding opportunities under consideration. GoTriangle has initiated environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act and anticipates a Categorical Exclusion determination from the FTA. The Exceptions Form serves as a mechanism for bidders to document any exceptions or deviations from the standard terms and conditions outlined in the RFQ, allowing qualified firms to propose modifications or conditions to their proposed CMAR services delivery while maintaining compliance with the procurement requirements established under North Carolina General Statute 143-129.
