Construction Manager - General Contractor for Multiple Projects at UMC of El Paso

Project Description: The objective of this Request for Proposals is to select a Construction Manager / General Contractor (“CM/GC”) using the Construction Manager-at-Risk delivery method on behalf of El Paso County Hospital District d/b/a University Medical Center of El Paso (“Owner”).
The selected CM/GC shall provide early and ongoing preconstruction services in support of Owner’s bond-funded capital program, including but not limited to cost estimating, constructability review, phasing and logistics analysis, schedule development, procurement planning, and coordination with the design team.
Owner intends to engage the CM/GC during the early planning and design phases to support progressive cost control, schedule validation, and risk management. The CM/GC will collaborate with Owner and the design team to develop multiple project-specific Guaranteed Maximum Prices (“GMPs”) as designs advance. GMPs may be established on a phased, packaged, or project-by-project basis, subject to Owner approval.
Subject to successful alignment of scope, schedule, budget, GMP terms, and agreement on contractual conditions, Owner may elect to negotiate and execute construction phase services using a modified AIA A133 Construction Manager-at-Risk form of agreement. Nothing in this RFP obligates Owner to authorize construction services or execute any Guaranteed Maximum Price.
Projects anticipated under this CM/GC engagement are located on the University Medical Center of El Paso campus and are part of Owner’s voter-approved bond program. The anticipated scope includes a series of clinical renovations and expansions, infrastructure upgrades, and medical equipment replacements to be delivered over multiple years. The specific scope, sequencing, and timing of individual projects may evolve and will be determined by Owner.
Construction activities will occur within and adjacent to occupied healthcare facilities. The CM/GC will be expected to support planning and execution strategies that maintain continuous operations, patient and staff access, and continuity of care. Coordination of phasing, infection prevention and control measures, interim life safety measures, and operational impacts shall be addressed in detail during preconstruction and construction activities in accordance with Owner requirements.
