The School Board intends to procure a CMAR firm to perform Construction Management at Risk functions and to be responsible for all scheduling and coordination along with assuming responsibility for the successful, timely, and economical completion of the construction project. The CMAR entity must consist of, or contract with, licensed professionals for the specific fields or areas of construction to be performed, as required by Florida Statutes. The CMAR firm after having been selected and commissioned for preconstruction services will be required to offer a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the actual construction; in which case, the CMAR entity must secure appropriate surety bonds pursuant to Chapter 255.05 F.S. and must hold construction subcontracts. The selected firm will negotiate a CM at-Risk Agreement with the School Board that will include pre-construction services and construction of the project. The ranking and selection process will be based on criteria including, but not limited to, the firm’s workload, qualifications for the task, experience with similar projects and performance on previous assignments. The selected firm will be expected to provide construction turnkey activities for this project resulting in a finished, fully usable facility that satisfies all project requirements and contract terms. The CMAR, as the sole responsible source for total project compliance and construction-related performance, will hold all trade contractors and trade supplier contracts. The selected firm will be required to use State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF), Florida Building Code, Florida Plumbing Code, Florida Mechanical Code, Florida Accessibility Code, NFPA 70 NEC, Florida Fire Prevention Code, and MCSD design standards.
