Construction Manager at Risk Services for WHS HVAC replacement

The Barrow County School System is seeking a Construction Manager at Risk (CM/C) for an HVAC replacement project at Woodland High School in Georgia. This procurement involves comprehensive services for a $7.5 million project that will replace HVAC units, controls, and required building systems. The selected CM/C will be responsible for project planning, cost management, scheduling, and quality assurance during pre-construction and construction phases. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 20, 2024, with proposals due on December 12, 2024, at 2:00 PM. The CM/C will be required to provide a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and Guaranteed Delivery Date (GDD), and will be financially "at risk" for completing the project within the specified budget. The firm must provide performance, material, and labor payment bonds equal to 100% of the GMP, with individual trade contracts to be established between the CM/C and trade contractors, subject to Barrow County School System approval.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract was ultimately awarded to Pennant Construction for $262,500.00, as confirmed in the Notice of Award document dated December 17, 2024. The School System reserves the right to suspend or terminate the project at any time, and any cost savings under the GMP will belong to the school system. The procurement process allows for electronic protest submissions to doas.protests@doas.ga.gov following standard Georgia state procurement guidelines. No specific details were provided about integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technologies. The total project budget of $7.5 million suggests significant scope for a comprehensive HVAC replacement initiative at Woodland High School, with potential for complex mechanical systems upgrades and related construction work.
