Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMR) for Construction of Multipurpose Rooms

Pflugerville Independent School District in Travis County, Texas is procuring a Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMR) firm through a one-step proposal process authorized by Texas Government Code Section 2269 to design and construct approximately 4,000 square feet of multipurpose room additions at Dessau Middle School and Pflugerville Middle School. The project scope encompasses full construction management and construction services with an anticipated construction start date of September 2026 and final completion by July 30, 2027, with all work to be completed within one calendar year from permit approval. Proposers must submit preconstruction fees as lump sum amounts and general conditions and construction management fees as percentages of construction costs, with evaluation based on contract price (25 points), reputation of services (15 points), quality of services and personnel (20 points), extent to which services meet district needs including Texas school district experience (20 points), past experience with Pflugerville ISD (10 points), construction manager financial stability and bonding capacity (5 points), and litigation history (5 points) for a total of 100 possible points. The proposal submission deadline is April 22, 2026 at 2:00 pm through the Euna/Bonfire portal, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference scheduled for March 25, 2026 at 9:00 am, a question submission deadline of April 7, 2026 at 12:00 pm CST with answers posted by April 9, 2026, and an anticipated award recommendation date of May 21, 2026. Required submissions include a Vendor Profile Form, State/Local/Federal Certifications Acknowledgement, Conflict of Interest Notice, HB 1295 Requirements notification, W-9 form, Bid Form, Proposal Questionnaire, and fee proposals for both campuses, with all proposers required to acknowledge vendor responsibility penalties and prevailing wage compliance obligations.

The procurement does not designate specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, though all contractors must comply with the District's adopted prevailing wage rates, which range from $9.24 to $33.55 per hour depending on trade classification, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation with waiver of subrogation, commercial general liability with minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence limits, automobile liability at $1,000,000 combined single limit, and umbrella coverage up to $5,000,000. Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price are required within five days of Guaranteed Maximum Price submission, and all covered employees must obtain criminal history record clearances through the Fingerprint-Based Applicant Clearinghouse of Texas. The preliminary total construction budget for all campuses is $5,500,000, with actual budget subject to adjustment based on alternate pricing, funding availability, and which campuses are ultimately awarded; the District will retain five percent of the total contract amount until all required warranties, testing documents, and punch-list items are completed and approved. The contract incorporates AIA Document A101-2017 and A201-2017 General Conditions, with liquidated damages assessed at $750 per project, per day for delays beyond the substantial completion date, and dispute resolution subject to mediation as a prerequisite to litigation in Texas state courts. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are identified in the procurement documents, and the selected CMR firm will work under the District's Construction Standards and Procedures Document and comply with all applicable state and federal regulations governing school construction projects.
