Nebo School District, located in Utah County, Utah, is issuing a Request for Proposals for Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) services for the Spanish Fork Jr High School Rebuild project. The project encompasses the construction of a new two-story, approximately 165,000-square-foot junior high school facility designed to accommodate approximately 1,200 students in grades 8-9, the demolition of the existing school building, and completion of all sitework including landscaping, athletic fields, and tennis courts at 600 South 820 East, Spanish Fork, Utah. The Construction Manager will provide both preconstruction services and construction phase work as a single integrated project, with preconstruction services including project scheduling, cost estimation, constructability reviews, and subcommittee bidding, followed by construction phase work commencing with a Notice to Proceed. Construction is anticipated to commence November 1, 2026, with substantial completion required by June 30, 2028, and final completion by August 1, 2028, while demolition of the existing building is anticipated to begin June 1, 2028, with completion by July 31, 2028. Prospective Construction Managers must conduct site visits and become familiar with existing conditions prior to submission, with all proposals due electronically through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) website by April 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM MDT. Evaluation criteria include compliance with RFP instructions, preconstruction management experience, competence and personnel qualifications, quality of past school construction projects, CM/GC experience, financial integrity, references, and fees/costs, with a maximum of 115 possible evaluation points. All prospective Construction Managers must be properly licensed in the State of Utah and registered with the Status Verification System (E-Verify) to verify employee work eligibility, and award of the contract is anticipated within 90 days of the proposal closing date.

The RFP does not identify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting organizational types from responding. However, there are no identified incumbent vendors or current contractors referenced in the procurement documents. The Construction Manager must maintain Preconstruction Services fees as a lump sum amount, with total contract pricing including the subcontractor sum, self-performed work costs, bond premiums calculated as a percentage of the $66,000,000 construction cost estimate, a fixed General Condition Reimbursement amount, and a Construction Manager's Fee expressed as a percentage of or fixed amount for the subcontractor sum. The Construction Manager may be required to provide a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) at 85% construction document completion, which may be converted to a Lump Sum Price at the District's option, with payment and performance bonds required in the full amount of preconstruction services fees and the GMP. Liquidated damages apply for late completion, ranging from $250 per day for delays of 1-15 days to $3,000 per day for delays exceeding 46 days, plus an additional $1,000 per day for failure to timely complete punch list items, with five percent retainage required per Utah Code and released upon Substantial Completion. The total estimated project cost is $66,000,000, representing the construction budget baseline for pricing and bond premium calculations.
