Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR) - Altavista Combined Schools Renovation Project

Campbell County Public Schools is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from construction managers for the Altavista Combined Schools Renovation Project in Altavista, Virginia under a Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR) delivery method, with SOQs due September 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time through eVA and in physical format to Campbell County Management Services at 47 Courthouse Lane, Suite 3, Rustburg, Virginia 24588.

Respondents must hold a valid Virginia Class A Contractor License, demonstrate bonding capacity exceeding $37.5 million, certify debarment status, and show no prior contract failures. The estimated construction value is approximately $38 million, with the guaranteed maximum price to be negotiated upon completion of the design phase.

The scope encompasses replacement of the existing two-pipe HVAC system with a new four-pipe system, upgrades to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and sprinkler systems, security enhancements at the front entrance and office areas, athletic facility improvements including both gyms and locker rooms, additional laboratories for Career and Technical Education (CTE) and exploratory programs, and general interior upgrades to classrooms including painting and flooring.

Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: project performance on similar-sized projects and regional expertise (40%), personnel qualifications and experience (30%), organizational structure and financial data (15%), and safety performance (15%). Campbell County emphasizes past performance on similar-sized projects, regional expertise, and demonstrated collaborative approaches.

Not more than 10 percent of construction work, as measured by cost, may be performed by the construction manager with its own forces. Construction managers are encouraged to seek minority and small business participants, though no specific project requirement exists. RRMM architects serves as the design professional. The County Board of Supervisors approved the CMAR method on July 21, 2026. Selected construction managers will advance to a subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP).
