MVRSD-CM at Risk Services

The Martha's Vineyard Regional School District is conducting a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Construction Management at Risk Services for the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School building project. This procurement is being executed under M.G.L. c. 149A as a two-phase solicitation process in Dukes County, Massachusetts. The primary objective is to select a Construction Manager who will provide comprehensive services beginning immediately during the Schematic Design phase, including design review, logistics planning, constructability analysis, and developing a Schematic Design estimate. Key deliverables include a detailed project estimate and comprehensive design review documentation. The RFQ requires interested firms to contact CHA Consulting, Inc., to obtain documentation and complete a CM at Risk RFQ Interest Form. A non-mandatory Informational Meeting is scheduled for September 24, 2025, at 3:30 PM, with proposal submissions due by 4:00 PM on October 3, 2025, to be submitted via sealed envelope to the School Business Administrator. The initial Schematic Design phase services will be performed for a fixed fee not exceeding $30,000.

The procurement appears open to qualified construction management firms without specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions. The total estimated project cost is $270,000,000, with subsequent Construction Management at Risk fees to be negotiated after Schematic Design approval and subject to voter funding approval. The Martha's Vineyard Regional High School Building Committee reserves the right to reject any proposals and award the contract through the two-phase solicitation process based on their best interests. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement suggests a comprehensive review of technical capabilities, design understanding, and project management expertise will be critical. Interested firms should be prepared for potential negotiations of subsequent project phases, with the initial phase capped at a $30,000 fixed fee. The project represents a significant infrastructure investment for the Martha's Vineyard Regional School District, indicating a substantial commitment to educational facility improvements.
