About this opportunity
Sarasota County is requesting professional services for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the Northeast Jail Addition at the downtown Sarasota Correctional Campus, with proposals due July 30, 2026.

Pre-construction phase services include design review with cost-reducing alternatives, coordination with the design team, market analysis for long-lead items, and submission of early or phased GMP proposals. Construction phase services, if accepted, will be turn-key delivery including general contracting and subcontracting all work components, project administration, scheduling, site and safety logistics, and quality control in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. The County may directly purchase select project components. Design services and commissioning are subject to separate solicitations and contracts.
The project is subject to Sarasota County's sustainability and green building resolutions, Florida Model Jail Standards, and Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission standards. Insurance requirements include Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability of $1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate, Business Automobile Liability of $1 million combined single limit, and Umbrella/Excess Liability of $2 million; during construction phase, the CM must maintain Builder's Risk insurance for the full Guaranteed Maximum Price plus change orders.
Evaluation criteria include ability of professional personnel, past performance and experience, approach, and workload analysis.

Proposals submit through OpenGov Procurement.
