Request For Qualifications and Proposal (Building Demolition)
Competitive Negotiation with Subcontractors
Turner JV, Architect, Engineer, and Owner to assist with preconstruction services to advance the
design and estimate to a point where the GMP Value for that contractor's category of work can be
established and validated and that fits within the overall project budget; and if successful,
* Phase 2) Competitive Negotiation Subcontractor will provide the balance of the Preconstruction
Services through the development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price and during completion of
Construction Documents.
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.
