DCS-016 - Day Reporting Center & Field Office Columbus, Georgia

The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), on behalf of the Georgia Department of Community Supervision (DCS), is seeking a qualified firm to provide construction management-at-risk (CMaR) services for Project DCS-016, a Day Reporting Center and Field Office located in Columbus, Georgia. The project encompasses the design and construction management of a new approximately 12,000-gross-square-foot field office facility incorporating three core design pillars: functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability. The facility will include specialized operational spaces such as a receptionist area, ballistic-protected interview rooms, a drug testing laboratory, training classrooms, security systems, and outdoor fencing with controlled gate access. Qualified respondents must hold a current Georgia General Contractor's License, maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum coverage limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, plus $5,000,000 commercial umbrella coverage, demonstrate sufficient bonding capacity, maintain a current ratio of 1.0 or higher, and possess a Worker's Compensation Experience Modification Rating of 1.2 or less. The procurement follows a two-step process with Statements of Qualifications due October 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM, finalist firms announced by October 28, 2025, a mandatory remote pre-proposal site visit on November 6, 2025, at 1:00 PM, fee proposals due November 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and finalist interviews scheduled for November 18, 2025. The project timeline includes design commencement in December 2025 with completion by March 2026, construction start in March 2026, material completion in March 2027, and facility occupancy targeted for May 2027. Selection criteria weight Qualifications/Interview Scores (100 points) equally with Fee Proposal Scores (100 points), with the highest combined total score determining the selected firm.

The procurement encourages participation by minority-owned, woman-owned, and small business enterprises, and Georgia-based firms receive reciprocal preference in the evaluation process. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are specified in the procurement documents. The preliminary Stated Cost Limitation for construction is estimated at $5,000,000, with the final amount subject to revision based on programmatic requirements and funding availability. The selected firm will be required to execute the GSFIC Construction Management Agreement without modification as a condition of contract award. Caliber 1 Construction, Inc. has been identified as the highest-ranked firm through the Selection Committee's evaluation of initial qualifications, indicating the procurement process has progressed beyond the initial solicitation phase.
