Rogue Community College District is seeking a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) to design and construct transportation technology training facilities across two campuses in Oregon: the Redwood Campus in Grants Pass and the Table Rock Campus in White City. The project involves building a new 14,000 square foot facility and renovating/expanding existing facilities to support transportation technology instruction and training. Key deliverables include spaces for inventory management, project storage, vehicle and equipment bays, lab preparation areas, faculty offices, student study areas, support staff offices, and technology infrastructure. The procurement will be conducted through an alternative CM/GC process exempt from competitive bidding under ORS 279C.335, with proposals evaluated based on a scored selection method rather than lowest price. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was held on January 24, 2025, and proposals are due on February 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM local time. Evaluation criteria will include factors such as the contractor's qualifications, approach to the project, previous experience, and proposed methodology for completing the transportation training center construction.

The project is funded through match-grant funding from the State of Oregon, with an estimated construction budget of approximately $13 million. This budget covers site preparations, infrastructure, parking, landscaping, irrigation, site improvements, preconstruction services, and the CM/GC fee, but excludes architectural and engineering fees, furniture, equipment, owner contingency, and other soft costs. The CM/GC's fee will be calculated as a percentage of the Estimated Cost of Work when establishing the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The anticipated project schedule shows construction starting in March 2027 with substantial completion expected in April 2027, and liquidated damages of $5,000 per day will be assessed for avoidable delays. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents were explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified construction management and general contracting firms. Three companies were represented at the pre-proposal meeting: S&B James, Vitus Construction, and Adroit Construction, indicating potential interest from regional construction firms in this opportunity.
