About this opportunity

Lake County Schools District is conducting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ #24-1003-Q-AR942) to select a Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) for the Eustis High School Addition project located in Tavares, Florida. The procurement seeks a single qualified vendor through the Consultant's Competitive Negotiations Act (F.S. 287.055) to manage the construction of an approximately 600-student addition to Eustis High School. The project will include senior high classrooms, science labs, ESE rooms, a weight room, technology and industrial labs, administrative office space, and outdoor areas. Respondents must be licensed in Florida as a Certified General Contractor or Certified Building Contractor and be registered with the Florida Department of State. The evaluation will consider factors such as personnel qualifications, past performance, current workload, time and budget requirements, and local vendor participation, with a total possible score of 100 points. Key procurement dates include a pre-proposal meeting on October 14, 2024, questions deadline of October 16, 2024, proposal due date of November 8, 2024, initial screening on December 4, 2024, a site visit for short-listed vendors on December 6, 2024, and oral presentations on February 3, 2025.

The procurement includes location-based scoring that awards points based on the proximity of the bidder's office to Lake County Schools' district office, with up to 5 points available for firms located within Lake County. Firms must demonstrate their office has been established for at least one year and staffed with a full-time employee. The project is funded at $40,480,000 in the 2024-2025 Capital Improvements Plan, with a cost breakdown of $2,000,000 for design services, $35,480,000 for construction, and $3,000,000 for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E). The evaluation process included scoring nine construction firms, with Wharton-Smith, Inc. receiving the highest score of 89.8 points, followed by Charles Perry Partners Inc. with 86.8 points and WELBRO Building Corporation with 86.3 points. Ultimately, Charles Perry Partners, Inc. was recommended for award despite having the lowest score, suggesting additional factors beyond point scoring influenced the committee's decision. The procurement emphasizes equal opportunity in education and employment and requires vendors to complete various legal certifications regarding potential conflicts of interest and debarment status.
