Carbon School District- Sally Mauro Remodel

Carbon School District is soliciting sealed proposals from Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) firms to provide preconstruction and construction phase services for the comprehensive remodel of Sally Mauro Elementary School, a 62,647 square-foot facility located at 20 2nd Avenue, Helper, Utah 84526. The project scope encompasses bringing the existing building into compliance with current life and safety codes, installing new fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems, re-roofing, upgrading seismic systems, replacing the existing sewer system, and upgrading mechanical and electrical systems. The work is designed to occur primarily during summer months to maintain building functionality during the school year, with final construction completion targeted for August 1, 2027. The CM/GC contract will be structured in two phases: Preconstruction Services with a lump sum fee, and Construction Phase Work with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Proposers must submit detailed pricing for preconstruction fees, construction management fees (as a percentage of GMP), bond costs, construction supervision costs (monthly rate), contractor change order markup percentages, and self-performed work markup percentages. Evaluation criteria are weighted across three categories: Past Performance (25 points), Strength of Contractor's Team and Statement of Qualifications (125 points), and Project Management Approach (90 points), for a total of 240 possible points. Critical deadlines include a mandatory pre-bid site visit on February 18, 2026 at 9:00 AM, a question submission deadline of February 19, 2026 at 4:00 PM directed to jacobr@kmaarchitects.com, and sealed proposal submissions due no later than 3:00 PM Mountain Time on February 23, 2026 to Jared Hansen, Maintenance Director at the Carbon School District offices (65 East 400 North, Price, Utah 84501), with electronic submissions accepted at berryman@carbonschools.org.

The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular classes of organizations, disadvantaged enterprises, or other vendor categories. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the procurement materials. A 5% proposal bond is required at the time of submission, and the District reserves the right to cancel the contract during or at the conclusion of preconstruction services, with compensation limited to work actually performed. Liquidated damages provisions establish financial penalties for late completion: $250 per day for days 1-15, $750 per day for days 16-30, and $1,500 per day for delays exceeding 30 days, plus an additional $1,500 per day for failure to complete punch list items. The preliminary architectural plans indicate the project was designed in accordance with the 2021 International Building Code with Type II B construction classification and includes coordination among multiple design professionals including KMA Architects Inc., Olsen & Peterson Engineering, Acute Engineering, and Resolut Group. Specific budget or award values are not disclosed in the solicitation materials provided; however, proposers should anticipate a substantial capital project given the facility size, scope of work, and compressed timeline for completion by August 1, 2027.
