RFSQ PM-CM for CM@R Project, Western Powerline Trail Phases 6 & 7

The Town of Gilbert is requesting statements of qualifications for Project Management/Construction Management services on the Western Powerline Trail Phases 6 & 7 project under the Construction Manager at Risk delivery method, with SOQs due October 6, 2026 at 12 p.m. Arizona Local Time. The Town will select three to five qualified firms and award one contract.

The scope encompasses PM/CM oversight for design and construction of approximately 3 miles of the Regional Western Powerline Multi-Use Path corridor, extending from the east side of Lindsay Road to the east side of Recker Road, featuring a 10–12 inch paved multi-use pathway with landscaping and lighting. The project is governed by ARS Section 34-601 et seq.

The combined program budget is approximately $8.412 million for PR1349 and $12.513 million for PR1350, including internal and external costs. The Town requires that design services and PM/CM services be performed by different firms with no common ownership — a constraint that eliminates design-build and integrated delivery teams from consideration.

Evaluation criteria total 100 points: project understanding and management approach (25 points), proposed project manager qualifications (25 points), past performance verification references (15 points), PM/CM firm experience and capability (10 points), schedule and cost control ability (10 points), proposed project staff qualifications (10 points), and quality control ability (5 points). SOQs must not exceed one cover page plus twelve pages at 11-point minimum font and must acknowledge all addenda to avoid disqualification. Key personnel identified in the SOQ cannot be replaced without prior written Town approval.

A pre-submittal conference is scheduled for September 15, 2026 at 11 a.m. Arizona Local Time via Microsoft Teams (attendance recommended but not mandatory). Questions are due September 22, 2026 at 5 p.m. Arizona Local Time. Submissions will be received electronically via the Town of Gilbert's e-builder platform.
