2026 003 construction manager at risk services

Spalding County, Georgia issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking qualified General Contractors to provide Construction Manager at Risk services for facade stabilization, demolition, and renovation work at 117 and 119 East Solomon Street in Griffin, Georgia. The project encompasses three primary phases: facade stabilization of the historic front building facade at 117 E. Solomon Street (including limited destructive survey to support design documentation); demolition services for the remainder of the building with shoring and stabilization of masonry demising walls to protect adjacent structures at 113 and 119 E. Solomon Street, along with interior debris removal from the first and second floors; and preconstruction services to assist the design team in budgeting for rebuilding and future renovation phases. The County reserves the right to retain the selected General Contractor for preconstruction services with recommendations to encourage quality and efficiency, with the ultimate goal of completing new building construction at 117 E. Solomon to allow the existing 119 Annex offices to remain operational during renovation. Qualified proposers must submit comprehensive responses limited to 35 pages, including company information, personnel qualifications with organizational charts and resumes, relevant project experience (three to five comparable projects), and pricing in the required Bid Form format. Evaluation criteria include the firm's relevant project experience, qualifications of key project personnel, demonstrated ability to manage comparable projects, pricing competitiveness, and the proposer's ability to guide design toward budget maintenance and value engineering. A mandatory site walk and pre-proposal meeting was scheduled for July 31, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with questions due by August 11, 2025, at 4:00 PM; the RFP response deadline was August 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, requiring five hard copies and one electronic copy submission. General Contractor selection was anticipated by August 26, 2025, with an anticipated project start date of September 2025 contingent upon permit receipt and material procurement.

The RFP documentation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond, nor does it identify disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the available documentation. The contract will be based on the AIA A133 form with General Conditions A201-2017, and proposers must submit pricing submissions including budget estimates and fees as percentages of hard construction costs for both facade stabilization and demolition phases, along with separate change order fees. The project budget will be determined by the Owner and design team working with the selected General Contractor following the RFP process, indicating no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation materials. However, it is critical to note that Spalding County issued a cancellation notice dated July 25, 2025, for this solicitation (Cancellation 2025-003), and the documentation does not specify whether the work will be re-solicited or pursued through alternative procurement methods, effectively rendering this original opportunity unavailable to prospective bidders.
