Construction Project Management Services for the Franklin County Career and Technical Education and Emergency Services Center

Franklin County, Virginia is requesting proposals for construction project management services for a new Career and Technical Education and Emergency Services Center, with sealed proposals due October 16, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The scope spans preconstruction and construction phases, including architect/engineer selection assistance, design document review, budget and schedule management, regulatory coordination, bid preparation and evaluation, and full on-site construction management with daily reporting and quality oversight; building commissioning services may be added at the Owner's discretion.

Offerors must demonstrate documented experience with at least five public middle or high school projects completed in Virginia within the last five years, with preference for facilities incorporating Career and Technical Education spaces. This is a qualification-heavy evaluation.

The current project budget is estimated at $50 to $75 million, though the project schedule is not yet determined. The contract term extends through completion of the facility and associated construction projects, with an option to continue for other related projects. Pricing and fee structure are not specified in the RFP; selection will be based on qualifications and experience, with price considered but not as the sole determining factor.

Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: Responsiveness/Responsible Determination (20 points), Qualifications and Experience (45 points), Availability (25 points), and References (10 points). Proposals shall include six hard copies and one electronic copy with a table of contents cross-referencing RFP requirements. The County reserves the right to conduct oral presentations, request additional information, and cancel or reject proposals at any time prior to award. Proposals must be submitted to Franklin County Government Center, 1255 Franklin Street, Suite 111, Rocky Mount, Virginia 24151.
