Competitive Negotiation with Subcontractors
1.12. If the first phase is not successful at establishing and maintaining an acceptable GMP, Walsh Turner JV and
the Owner may elect not to move forward with the second preconstruction phase and the Competitive
Negotiation Subcontractor will only be reimbursed for the first phase of the Preconstruction Services.
1.13. Upon the successful completion of the preconstruction phase, the Walsh Turner JV will request the Owner's
approval to proceed to the construction phase. Subject to vendor performance, ongoing need and
authorization, and adequate funding, such approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
1.14. It is the intent of the Owner and Walsh Turner JV to enter into competitive negotiation, as authorized by KRS
45A.085, for a final Guaranteed Maximum Price, at or below the established GMP, for construction at the
conclusion of the Preconstruction Assistance phase with the selected Competitive Negotiation Subcontractor.
It is likely that the scope of the packages included within this RFQ/P will be segregated into multiple, defined
scopes of work, which will be further defined throughout the Preconstruction Assistance period.
The Owner reserves the right to require the rejection of all proposals, the rejection of any proposal that does
not meet mandatory requirements, or the cancelation of this RFP according to the best interests of the
University.
Offeror(s) selected to participate in negotiations may be given an opportunity to submit a Best and Final
Offer to the Walsh Turner JV. All information-received prior to the cut-off time will be considered part of the
offeror's Best and Final Offer.
Minor technicalities or irregularities in proposals may be waived, providing such action is in the best interest
of the Owner. Such waiver shall in no way modify the RFP requirements or excuse the offeror from full
compliance with the RFP specifications and other contract requirements if the offeror is awarded the
contract.
2. Scope of Services
2.1. The Competitive Negotiation Subcontractor shall provide Preconstruction Assistance, Preconstruction,
Construction, Commissioning and Close-out services for the project. These services are to be provided in a
most efficient manner utilizing lean construction methodology (BIM, prefabrication, modularization, etc.). The
subcontractor determined to be the best value to the project will be considered for award.

developing lean construction approaches, design and constructability reviews, systems analysis, value
management, prefabrication planning, material procurement planning, budget development, detailed cost
estimates/projections, schedule development, early submittals, cash flow and manpower projections, site
logistics, special studies and commissioning criteria. While a majority of this will be focused prior to
construction, it is expected that these same principles will be applied during construction with any change
work. Final GMP submission. The final GMP will be developed from a combination of Design Development
documents and Construction documents, which are planned to be issued during the fourth quarter of 2026.
The Competitive Negotiation firm(s) shall submit updated company backlog reports on a quarterly basis
(minimum) and provide notification to Walsh Turner JV when any new projects are awarded after engagement
in the University of Kentucky HealthCare Expand Patient Care Facility Project.
2.3. Walsh Turner JV reserves the right to terminate the agreement at any point prior to completion of the project
should the subcontractor fail to maintain project budget, fail to maintain project schedule, be non-responsive to
the project team, etc. Upon termination the subcontractor will be paid for actual work authorized by Walsh

not limited to: lean scheduling, onsite coordination, participation in routine progress meetings, installation,
