RFP-Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R) Services

The Georgia Charter Educational Foundation is considering the services of a
Construction Professional Firm (CP/GC) for the construction of various projects
as (¿The ¿Projects¿). The CP/GC will assume responsibility for project
construction cost by issuing a guaranteed maximum price not later than 90%
through the design phase. The GMP will be a contractual obligation. CP/GC will
also develop an overall project schedule, which will be a contractual obligation. In
addition, CP/GC will be responsible for methods of construction, safety, and the
scheduling and coordination of the work of all construction and miscellaneous
contracts required for completion of the project within its predetermined budget
and schedule.
B. PROJECTOBJECTIVES
The CP/GC will function as a Construction Manager-At-Risk (CM@R). During
Pre-Construction, the CM@R will be responsible for pricing and value
engineering issues, along with issues of the facility¿s maintainability and
constructability. When design documents for the project have been developed in
sufficient detail (approximately 90% complete) the CM/GC will commit to a
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for all construction and site development.
The Owner reserves the right to request an alternative additive item for FF&E,

which we may ask to be included in the GMP. (The Owner will accept or reject
this item prior to finalizing the GMP.) Construction will commence with the release
of distinct work packages while the total design documents are being finalized.
The CM@R shall competitively select all construction subcontracts and other
work appropriate for competitive selection using cost, other factors, and including
owner input. The successful CM@R shall not be eligible to bid or enter into
contract or subcontract for any of the construction or other services of any nature
on the project without the specific approval of the Owner.
