The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), on behalf of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and Georgia Southwestern State University, is seeking construction management at-risk services for a project to replace the existing Natural Sciences Laboratory at Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus, Georgia. The project involves approximately 23,000 GSF of new construction to replace aging instructional, office, and research space. The procurement process includes a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to shortlist qualified firms, followed by a Request for Fee Proposal (RFP) from the shortlisted firms. Key evaluation criteria include the firm's stability, relevant experience, and suitability for the project. Important dates include an RFQ submittal deadline of August 2, 2024, and an RFP fee proposal submittal deadline of August 26, 2024. The contract will be awarded to the firm with the highest total score based on qualifications, interview, and fee proposal.

GSFIC encourages participation by minority-owned, woman-owned, and small business enterprises. The contract will utilize the GSFIC Construction Management Agreement, but no incumbent vendors or budget range information is provided in the materials. Prospective contractors must meet minimum qualifications related to bonding capacity, insurance requirements, licensing, and financial stability.
