Gordon County Board of Commissioners is requesting qualifications and proposals for Construction Manager at Risk services to manage remaining 2012 and 2018 SPLOST construction projects, with proposals due August 18, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. EDT to the Purchasing Director at 201 North Wall Street, Calhoun, Georgia 30701.

The scope encompasses seven projects across two SPLOST cycles: construction of amenities at Brookshire Park, renovations to the Senior Center, a new Evidence Building and Morgue, renovations to the County Administration Building, construction of a Multiuse/Agricultural Facility, renovations to Salacoa Creek Park Facilities, and renovation of the E-911 Facility, Sugar Valley Fire Station, and Sugar Valley Community Center. Respondents must demonstrate expertise in project planning, cost management, project control, pre-construction and construction techniques, value-engineering analysis, scheduling, and quality assurance. All subcontractors must be licensed in Georgia, and the CM must obtain at least three bids for each work category.

The CM will be compensated with a fixed fee for pre-construction services and a percentage-based fee for construction services, with specific fee schedules provided for project costs ranging from $10,000 to $5,000,000. The selected CM must provide 100 percent performance and payment bonds and maintain comprehensive insurance including workers compensation, general liability of $2 million aggregate, automobile liability of $1 million combined single limits, and umbrella excess liability of $1 million. The CM will operate under a modified AIA A133-2009 contract with a Guaranteed Maximum Price and Guaranteed Delivery Date, with unused allowances and contingencies reverting to the County.

Evaluation criteria include staffing, experience, local subcontractor participation, project approach, Northwest Georgia experience, availability, financial stability, and cost. The evaluation process includes three phases: proposal evaluation, potential oral interviews, and fee negotiation. Respondents must comply with Georgia's E-Verify requirements and submit affidavits of non-collusion and financial compliance documentation. Questions are due in writing by 5:00 p.m. on August 13, 2021 to Carter Watkins Architects. Site visits can be arranged by appointment with the Purchasing Director. Proposals may not be withdrawn for 90 days after opening.
