Renovation & Painting Project

We are seeking a General Construction Contractor to be our Project Construction Manager at Risk. The Project is to be performed pursuant to the AIA A133-2019 Standard Form of Agreement with payment based on the cost of work, plus a fee and with a guaranteed maximum price. The successful proposer (the Construction Manager at Risk (CM)) shall serve as the general construction contractor and construction manager for the Project.

The Project will include interior and exterior painting, at seven (7) schools, as our budget permits, and may include replacing some flooring, ceilings and lighting and other similar/related work.

The services will consist of cost estimating, constructability analysis and scheduling and phasing of the renovation and painting. The CM will assist the School District and the project Architect in finalizing the phasing and scheduling of the work, and cost estimating and value engineering of the Project.

The CM will begin by performing pre-construction services with the Project Team. Services will include conceptual and detailed budgeting and estimating, constructability reviews, evaluation of alternative materials and equipment and systems for performance of the work. The CM will work with the School District to finalize the scheduling of the work. As design proceeds, the CM will also conduct a review of the plans and specifications for completeness and cost effectiveness of the details and materials shown for the work. [...] On completion of the plans and specifications, or at an earlier date if mutually agreed upon, the CM will develop the GMP for the Project. Provided that the GMP is equal to or less than the School District's approved budget, the contract amount (GMP) will be established and construction may proceed. The contract will be for the cost of the work plus a fee, with a guaranteed maximum amount.
