Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Clearwater is seeking a Construction Manager at Risk firm to join the project team for the City’s new S. Osceola Parking Garage project (22-0011-EN), located at the northeast corner of S. Osceola Ave. and Pierce Street. Clearwater’s Coachman Park is currently being developed into a premiere open space and corresponding event venue with seating for 9,000 people to attend live performances. This venue is expected to open at the end of June 2023. That project with additional plans to revitalize the downtown will increase the demand for public parking. To address increased demand, the City purchased property at the corner of Pierce St. and Osceola Avenue in late 2022 from Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church (Peace) with the intent of building a public parking garage in that location. The parcel abuts Osceola Avenue to the west, Pierce Street to the south, a vacated alley to the east and a Pinellas County owned parcel to the north. The chosen CMAR firm will join the project team near the 60% design phase, estimated to be in late summer 2023, to provide pre-construction phase services to the City under a purchase order for the negotiated pre-construction phase fees.
