RFP #2026-001 Harmony Elementary School Renovations/Modifications

The Pickens County School District is seeking a professional Construction Manager/Contractor at Risk (CM/C) firm through Request for Proposal #2026-001 to manage renovations and modifications at Harmony Elementary School, located at 550 Harmony School Rd., Jasper, GA 30143. This procurement involves engaging a qualified construction management firm to oversee the project under a construction management/contractor at risk delivery format, which typically requires the selected firm to assume responsibility for both management and construction execution. The primary deliverable is the successful completion of renovations and modifications to the elementary school facility, with key objectives including effective project management, quality control, and adherence to budget and schedule constraints. Required qualifications for interested firms would typically include demonstrated experience in school construction projects, CM/C delivery experience, and professional licensing appropriate to Georgia construction standards, though specific qualification details should be verified in the full RFP document. The proposal deadline is April 30, 2026, with the RFP posted on March 18, 2026; additional information and the complete RFP can be accessed through the Pickens County School District webpage at https://www.pickens.k12.ga.us/page/request-for-proposals-open-bids.

The RFP documentation does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, incumbent vendors, or explicit budget ranges based on the information provided. Interested firms should consult the complete RFP document available on the school district's website for detailed information regarding any small business or minority-owned enterprise preferences, evaluation criteria, insurance and bonding requirements, and the estimated project budget or construction cost range. The lack of specified restrictions suggests this opportunity may be open to qualified firms regardless of size or ownership classification, though Georgia-specific licensing and bonding requirements would typically apply. Firms should verify whether prevailing wage requirements or Davis-Bacon Act provisions apply to this school construction project, as such requirements are common in public education facility projects. Prospective bidders should contact the school district directly through the provided website or RFP documentation for clarification on any undefined terms, budget parameters, or technical specifications prior to proposal submission.
