RFSQ CMAR: O'Neil Drive from Hubbard to Peart & Colorado from Cottonwood & Judi

The City of Casa Grande, Arizona is requesting qualifications for a Construction Manager at Risk to provide preconstruction and complete construction services for O'Neil Drive from Hubbard Street to N Peart Road and Colorado Street from Cottonwood Lane to Judi Drive, with submittals due May 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time.

The scope encompasses approximately 6,000 linear feet of collector street improvements across both segments, including two through lanes, striped medians, bike lanes, detached sidewalks, ADA compliance, driveway work, landscaping, street lighting, and improvements at Legacy Traditional School. The work is structured in two design phases: an initial 15% design evaluation of two different design configurations, followed by advancement to 100% design. The selected CMAR will provide preconstruction services, then negotiate a Guaranteed Maximum Price for construction services. Performance and payment bonds under Arizona Revised Statutes Section 34-222 are required prior to construction.

Evaluation is qualifications-based on a maximum 1,000-point scale across six categories: cover letter (70 points), capabilities of the project team (300 points), project understanding and approach (200 points), firm similar project experience and results (300 points), subcontractor selection plan (100 points), and required submittal forms (30 points). Statements of Qualifications are limited to six pages, with three required forms submitted separately. Submittals must be one original and two copies in a sealed envelope delivered to the Office of the City Clerk at 510 East Florence Boulevard, Casa Grande, Arizona 85122.

The selection committee will rank firms based on evaluation scores. The City will negotiate with the highest-ranked firm; if negotiations fail, the City may proceed with the second or third-ranked firm. No pre-submittal conference will be held. Inquiries must be directed to Owen Mills, PE Sr. Project Manager at Owen_Mills@casagrandeaz.gov, with inquiries due at least ten calendar days before the submittal deadline.
