Renovations and Modifications of Restrooms/Press box/Concession Stand

The White County Board of Education in Cleveland, Georgia has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking a Construction Professional (CP) to manage comprehensive renovations at Warrior Stadium on the White County High School campus. The project involves modifications to the concession stand, press box, and restrooms, including roof replacement, HVAC upgrades, flooring improvements, and restroom renovations. The procurement will utilize a Construction Manager at Risk (CM at Risk) delivery model, with a preliminary Stated Cost of Limitation (SCL) of $600,000. Key deadlines include written questions due by December 1, 2025, and proposal submissions due December 17, 2025, at 10:00 am EST. The selection process is qualification and fee-based, conducted in two steps: an initial pass/fail minimum qualifications review to identify two to five finalist firms, followed by negotiations with top-ranked firms. Minimum qualifications include valid Georgia contractor licensing, current bonding capacity, specific liability insurance limits, sufficient cash flow, and a Worker's Compensation Experience Modification Rate of 1.2 or less. The Owner anticipates finalizing CP selection on December 18, 2025, with construction expected to commence February 1, 2026, and conclude May 1, 2026.

Respondents must comply with E-Verify requirements and Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act provisions, with the project potentially subject to Davis-Bacon Labor Standards prevailing wage requirements. Contractors will need to maintain liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and $2,000,000 per accident ($10,000,000 aggregate) for property damage. The contract will utilize an Actual Cost plus Fixed or Percentage Fee structure, not to exceed a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Agreement, with all savings under the GMP, including unused contingency, returned to the Owner. The existing facilities will remain occupied during construction, requiring careful phasing of work. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the comprehensive qualification requirements suggest a competitive process focused on technical capability and financial stability. The final project budget will be determined by prioritization of work and available funding, with the preliminary cost limitation set at $600,000. The project requires careful coordination, as construction must be completed while the facility remains in use, adding complexity to the renovation efforts.
