Construction Manager at Risk - Wilkinson Homes Apartments

The City of Concord, North Carolina Engineering Department is requesting qualifications for Construction Manager at Risk services for the Wilkinson Homes Apartments project, with statements of qualifications due October 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The scope spans preconstruction and construction phases for replacement of 46 public housing units on a 9-acre downtown site under the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, including bid package preparation and coordination, scheduling, cost control, value engineering, preconstruction services, and construction administration.

All work must comply with Davis-Bacon Wage Determinations and Federal Construction Contract Provisions. Construction is anticipated to conclude by the end of 2028 to early 2029. The project site will undergo phased demolition and replacement to prevent resident displacement; the remainder of the site must be minimally prepared for a future residential phase.

Selection criteria are weighted as follows: recent experience with similar projects in historic settings and demonstrated ability to incorporate client design preferences (35%); staff experience performing required work within budget with minimal change orders (25%); ability to meet established project schedules (20%); financial ability and adequacy of accounting systems to comply with HUD regulations (10%); and demonstrated ethical and professional standing with satisfactory performance on previous City contracts (10%). The City will negotiate a contract with the highest-rated firm and proceed to the second-rated firm if negotiations fail.

Design services have been selected from Neighboring Concepts and Timmons Group; survey and development plan review feedback have been completed and will be provided upon request. Firms must notify the City by email to dealj@concordnc.gov by 5:00 PM on September 21, 2026, to be added to the Notification of Interest list. Questions are due by 5:00 PM on September 23, 2026, directed to Engineering Director Jackie Deal. Qualifications submissions are limited to 20 pages and must be submitted via Microsoft One Drive.
