The City of Flagstaff, Arizona is requesting Statements of Qualifications for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) services on the Fanning Wash Diversion Project, with SOQs due September 18, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. and questions due by September 9, 2026. Selection is qualifications-based under A.R.S. 34-603, and the contractor must self-perform at least 45% of the work per Arizona Revised Statutes 34-605(G)(2).
The project involves approximately 3,000 linear feet of new 72-inch storm drain infrastructure along E.

The scope includes a new diversion inlet and outlet structure, storm drain conveyance improvements, potential channel modifications, localized roadway impacts, and utility coordination. The CMAR contractor will provide two-phase services: a Design Phase during which it reviews construction documents at 60%, 90%, and 100% completion stages, develops cost models, and prepares Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposals; and a Construction Phase performing the actual construction work.
The initial project budget is approximately $4.5 million. The project is currently at 60% design completion, with final design anticipated in Season 2026/2027 and construction completion targeted for Season 2028. City Council design-phase approval is anticipated in October/November 2026, GMP approval in April 2027, and notice to proceed for construction in April 2027.

Up to five contractors may be invited for interviews at the City's discretion. The City will negotiate separately with the highest-ranked contractor for both the Design Phase Services Agreement and the Construction Phase Services Agreement. Submissions must be made electronically through OpenGov at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/flagstaffaz; hard copies are not accepted.
