PROPOSAL CONTENT
The information provided herein is intended to assist Bidders with a proper response to this RFP. CMC believes that this RFP provides interested Bidders with sufficient information to submit proposals that meet minimum requirements. However, the RFP is not intended to limit a proposal’s content or to exclude any relevant or essential data. Bidders are encouraged to include additional information that will substantiate their service capabilities, product quality, and commitment to support your product or service. Any exceptions or alternate offerings to this request must be communicated. CMC reserves the sole right to determine what is considered to be “equivalent” or “equal”. CMC also reserves the right to request samples for testing and evaluation.
Additionally, CMC recognizes you as the expert in this industry and we appreciate ideas that may improve the design or implementation of our project. Please submit your bid to the specifications provided and include information or ideas you may have that CMC should consider to improve our project. Our selection committee will carefully review these ideas and we will contact you with questions.
Bidders shall submit the following specific information with their bid:
1. Each candidate shall prepare a fee proposal based on your proposed pre-construction and construction schedule milestones. Candidates MUST use and submit the workbook provided to submit the following electronically in Excel format:
a. FEE & TIME COMMITMENT TAB
i. Provide a Lump Sum Fee for Preconstruction Services (Reimbursable expenses are assumed to be included within the lump sum fee).
ii. Provide a Construction Services fee (OH&P) as a percentage of the Cost of the Work. At the point the Final GMP is established, the percentage fee will be calculated and converted to a lump sum Construction Service fee.
iii. Provide the Change Order Mark Up % for your firm.
iv. Provide the Change Order Mark Up % your firm will allow from subcontractors.
v. Provide your company’s Bonding Capacity
vi. Indicate the percentage of ‘contractor’s contingency’ your firm would include as part of a Final GMP assuming the Final GMP was executed at different phases of design (i.e. 100% DD or 100% CD).
vii. For each of your proposed team members, provide the amount of time they will be committed to this project, as a percentage of full-time, for each phase.
b. GENERAL CONDITIONS TAB
i. Every cell in this tab MUST be filled with a value as follows:
1. A lump sum dollar value calculated based on your proposed schedule.
2. “NO COST” representing there will be no cost for that item in completion of this project. Given the size and location of this project there will likely be a large number of line items for which “NO COST” is the correct input.
3. “COST OF THE WORK” representing that that item will not be a fixed cost, but rather a tabulated cost of the work. This option should be used very sparingly as the Owner desires to limit their risk exposure for costs that could arguably be calculated and fixed based on the durations established in your proposed schedule.
ii. For the bonding and insurance line items please assume a construction budget of $700k
c. CLARIFICATIONS & EXCLUSIONS
i. Provide any clarifications or exclusions to the fee proposal.
2. Schedule: We are asking each candidate to submit a proposed schedule they believe to be the best balance of economics, efficiency, and phasing. Preconstruction services will commence immediately upon selection through the completion of permit documents.
