Fire Station Construction Manager

The City of Metter, Georgia is seeking proposals from qualified Construction Manager at Risk (CM) firms to manage the demolition of the existing City of Metter Fire Station and the construction of a new Fire Station facility. The total project budget is $4.5 million. Proposals are due by July 16, 2024, at 10:00 am at Metter City Hall. A mandatory pre-proposal conference will be held on May 28, 2024 at 10:00 am. Interviews with the top-ranked firms will be conducted on July 30, 2024, and a recommendation for Council approval is expected on August 13, 2024. The selected CM will be required to provide a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and Guaranteed Delivery Date (GDD) for the project and will be responsible for completing the project within the GMP. If the final cost is less than the GMP, any savings will belong to the City of Metter. The CM will also be required to provide performance and payment bonds, and the individual trade contracts will be between the CM and the trade contractors, subject to the City's approval.

The City of Metter reserves the right to negotiate the CM's fee proposal and to reject any or all proposals received. The City is not obligated to enter into a "joint venture" agreement and strongly recommends that a single incorporated firm serve as the Construction Management firm, with any remaining firms acting as consultants. The City reserves the right to negotiate adjustments to any and all elements of the proposals prior to award. The contract will be awarded to the firm that best meets the qualifications outlined in the RFP, which include expertise, resources, and personnel experience in project planning, cost management, project control, pre-construction and construction techniques, value-engineering analysis, scheduling, and quality assurance throughout the planning and construction phases of the project.
