Muscogee County School District is requesting proposals for a Construction Manager at Risk to remodel the gymnasium at St. Mary's Elementary School (4408 St. Mary's Road, Columbus, Georgia) into a JROTC competition-grade rifle range, with proposals due July 2, 2026, and a mandatory pre-proposal conference on June 10 at 10:30 a.m.

The scope encompasses all typical construction trades—mechanical, electrical, plumbing, demolition, painting, floor covering, finishes, ADA compliance, and local ordinance compliance—plus cost estimating, constructability analysis, scheduling, phasing, and value engineering services. The CM will serve as both contractor and construction manager under the AIA A133-2019 Standard Form of Agreement with payment based on cost of work plus a fee and a guaranteed maximum price. The CM's fee must be stated as a percentage of total construction costs and include all estimating and pre-construction services, personnel costs, and home-office overhead. Substantial completion must occur before May 1, 2027.

Evaluation criteria are stability (20%), relevant experience and qualifications (20%), quality of proposed management plan (15%), past performance (20%), and fee (25%). Proposers must submit an itemized estimate of general requirements costs using the provided schedule and an AIA A305 Contractor's Qualification Statement filed within six months. The successful proposer must provide 100% performance and payment bonds and proof of insurability, including workers' compensation coverage; general liability of $1 million; automobile liability of $1 million; excess liability umbrella of $5 million; and builder's risk insurance equal to 100% of the contract amount. All submissions require non-collusion affidavits and federal work authorization compliance documentation per O.C.G.A. 13-10-91. Attendance at the mandatory pre-proposal conference is required for proposal acceptance. Award is anticipated within 45 days of proposal opening. Proposals must remain valid for 45 days following opening.
