Seismic Rehabilitation

The Lincoln County School District is seeking a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) for the seismic rehabilitation of Yaquina View Elementary School in Oregon. The procurement involves comprehensive structural modifications to meet "Life Safety" requirements as defined in ASCE 41-17, which includes adding shear walls, drag elements, and out-of-plane framing to improve the school's lateral system components. Proposals are due by 1:00 PM on January 3, 2023, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference held on December 19, 2022. The selected CM/GC will be responsible for pre-construction services and delivering a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the entire project scope, which includes detailed cost estimating, scheduling, constructability reviews, value engineering, and competitive bidding of trade packages. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the CM/GC's technical expertise, proposed approach to project management, and ability to meet the complex structural rehabilitation requirements. The construction is targeted for completion between June and September 2023, with a total construction budget not exceeding $2,054,590.

The procurement appears to have specific requirements for local and diverse business participation, with the CM/GC expected to make good faith efforts to provide opportunities for local, minority, women-owned, and emerging small businesses through competitive bidding procedures. The final contract award is subject to approval by the Lincoln County School District Board. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the project requires integration with existing school infrastructure and will demand specialized seismic engineering and construction expertise. The contract structure includes a Preconstruction Fee, a fixed CM/GC Fee percentage, and a Fixed Cost for General Conditions Work. Both the Owner and CM/GC will maintain contingency amounts, and the CM/GC will be required to maintain detailed accounting records subject to Owner audit. The project emphasizes transparent, competitive procurement processes and seeks to maximize local economic engagement while ensuring critical infrastructure improvements.
