About this opportunity
The City of San Antonio, Texas is seeking to procure a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the renovation and expansion of the existing Carver Branch Library. The project has a construction budget of approximately $8.4 million and involves the renovation and expansion of the 11,758 SF library facility located in San Antonio. The CMAR will provide preconstruction services during the design process, including cost modeling, scheduling, constructability reviews, and value engineering recommendations. The CMAR will then serve as the principal general contractor, assuming the risk of delivering the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price. Key objectives of the project are to create attractive, user-friendly spaces that respond to the needs of the library users and enhance the existing facility. Respondents will be evaluated on their experience, project approach, regional experience, and compliance with the City's Small Business Economic Development Advocacy (SBEDA) program requirements. A non-mandatory site visit is scheduled for January 12, 2024, and the RFQ responses are due by February 9, 2024.
The City of San Antonio is subject to the SBEDA program and will establish appropriate subcontracting goals for the project. Respondents must also comply with certain state law requirements, such as not boycotting Israel, certain energy companies, or discriminating against the firearms industry. The City is open to the possibility of early release packages and is interested in improving the current design schedule. The City will shortlist up to five CMAR firms based on the RFQ responses, and those firms will then be invited to participate in the second phase of the procurement process through a Request for Proposals.
Opportunity text
This project will consist of the renovation and expansion of the existing 11,758 SF Carver Branch Library, located at 3350 E. Commerce, SA TX 78220. The construction budget is approximately 8.4 million dollars. The Carver Branch Library was designed by Norcell D. Haywood, the first licensed African-American architect in San Antonio, and a prominent community professional. The original library was constructed in 1973, and was renovated in 1994 and again in 2006. A parking lot expansion and outdoor playscapes were added in 2012. The goal for the current building renovation is to create attractive, user-friendly spaces that respond to the needs of the library users. This improved facility will enhance existing areas of the library and introduce new resources to serve the community.
The CMAR will provide preconstruction services throughout the design process of the Project, the renovation and addition to the Carver Library. The CMAR will serve as the principal general contractor for construction of the Project. The CMAR will assume the risk of delivering the Project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price.
During the pre-construction period, which includes design development, construction documents preparation, procurement and permitting, the CMAR will work with the Public Works Department to provide construction cost modeling of the Project, including but not limited to, updates at major milestones of design; scheduling of all aspects of the Project, including City tasks and outside agencies; constructability reviews; cost trend log updates; and cost savings/value engineering recommendations. The CMAR will support the City in establishing a final construction budget for the Project. The CMAR and Design Consultant will then work collaboratively throughout the remaining design and preconstruction period to ensure that the Project remains within the budget and will regularly report back to the Public Works Department.
The CMAR will be responsible for quality control and the Public Works Department team will be responsible for quality control oversight.
