Bond RFP Contractor

Breckenridge Community Schools in Michigan is seeking a Construction Manager-Adviser (CMa) through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for an approximately $13,800,000 construction project. The procurement is focused on obtaining comprehensive construction management services across six critical project phases: Programming/Election, Pre-Construction, Design/Bidding, Construction, Post-Construction/Warranty, and potential additional components. Proposals are due by 4:00 p.m. on May 16, 2025, with the district planning to select a Construction Manager in June 2025 and commence work shortly thereafter. Evaluation criteria will include adherence to RFP requirements, relevant experience with K-12 facility construction, key staff qualifications, team compatibility, timeliness, responsiveness, and fee structure. The project is contingent upon a bond election scheduled for November 3, 2026, and the district will utilize a modified version of the AIA Document C132 - 2019 Edition as the contractual basis, maintaining flexibility to negotiate terms and potentially modify the project delivery method.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is explicitly tied to the success of the upcoming bond election, with no fees due if the election fails. The fee proposal is expected to be all-inclusive, covering professional fees, reimbursable expenses, on-site personnel costs, and general conditions items. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the district reserves the right to convert the procurement to a Construction Manager-Constructor approach if deemed necessary. The total project budget is approximately $13,800,000, with the selected Construction Manager expected to provide comprehensive management services across all project phases. The district maintains significant discretion in the selection process and contract negotiation, emphasizing the importance of demonstrating expertise in K-12 school facility construction and the ability to support the district's complex construction objectives.
