TCSG-359C-Cx Jack Hill Conference Center - Savannah Technical College

The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC), on behalf of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG), is seeking a Commissioning Agent (CxA) for the Jack Hill Conference Center project at Savannah Technical College's Rincon campus. This one-step qualification-based procurement will procure comprehensive building commissioning services for a new one-story, approximately 20,000 square foot conference center with multiple assembly spaces, a catering kitchen, and supporting facilities. The commissioning services will be conducted in two phases, initially developing the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) and reviewing the Design Professional's Basis of Design (BOD). Proposals are due on June 3rd, 2025, with construction scheduled to begin in August 2025 and a projected 12-month duration. Evaluation criteria will focus on the firm's stability, experience, qualifications, and project suitability, with firms required to demonstrate relevant commissioning experience across mechanical, HVAC controls, plumbing, electrical, and building envelope systems. Key deliverables include comprehensive system verification and performance assessments using the Owner's Project Management Program (E-Builder). Firms must meet minimum qualifications, including current liability insurance and no existing contracting debarments.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will incorporate the Energy Efficiency & Sustainable Construction Act requirements and aims to achieve Georgia Peach certification. The preliminary Stated Cost Limitation (SCL) for the project is $9,561,000, with the delivery method being construction manager at-risk (CM/GC). No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The project will utilize a comprehensive commissioning checklist that covers detailed verification processes for various systems, including potential renewable energy systems and HVAC controls. Notable technical considerations include a yet-to-be-determined approach to Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems. Interested firms will need to demonstrate expertise in complex building systems commissioning and familiarity with sustainable construction practices specific to educational facility development.
