1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Statement of Procurement Purpose

The State of Tennessee, Department of General Services, State of Tennessee Real Estate Asset

Management (“STREAM”), hereinafter referred to as the “State,” has issued this Request for

Proposals (“RFP”), to define minimum contract requirements; solicit responses; detail response

requirements; and, outline the State’s process for evaluating responses and selecting a Construction

Manager/General Contractor (“CM/GC”), to provide the needed services.

1.2. Project Description

The State is seeking to hire a CM/GC who can effectively partner with the State on the construction

of the Emergency Operations Center building and all associated work. The essential facility will be

composed of new construction to include partial demolition and tie-in of existing structure. Work

also includes construction of a new 300+ space parking garage, and all related site work. The new

Emergency Operations Center will include administrative space, break-out and conferencing rooms,

and an auditorium. The project is located at the Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ) at 3041 Sidco Drive,

Nashville, TN. The project is being developed to replace the existing TEMA Emergency Operations

Center and support spaces located in the basement level of building 102, which no longer

adequately supports the modern-day requirements of TEMA.

Additional information can be found in the Project Program, and the Program Verification

documents (refer to RFP Section 1.3. for instructions on how to request documents).

The State intends to secure a contract for CM/GC services. The CM/GC shall provide consulting,

scheduling, and estimating/cost control services during the design phase of the Project, and shall be

the general contractor during construction, holding the trade contracts and providing the

management and construction services during the construction phase. The CM/GC shall

competitively procure and contract with the trade contractors and assume the responsibility and the

risk of construction delivery within the specified cost and schedule terms, after providing a

Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the scope(s) of work for the project identified on the RFP

cover page of the Project Specific Documents.

1.3. Current Project Status

Design Phase upon the award of a contract as a result of this procurement.

1.5. Additional Project Related Considerations

All respondents should be able to demonstrate in their response to this RFP their experience or

knowledge of the following:

Project delivery within the secured boundaries of a correctional facility requiring increased safety and

security protocols.

Project delivery on an active military base requiring certain security clearances or protocols.

There are no additional project-related considerations for this RFP.

Scope of Services (attached as RFP Attachment 6.6., Pro Forma Contract, Attachment C, CM/GC Scope

of Services and Deliverables):

GMP Target - $199,050,000.00

It is imperative to the State that the cost of construction for the Project does not exceed the GMP

Target.

The CM/GC services for the Project will be procured based on the CM/GC providing a Contract

Controlled Insurance Program (CCIP) program and Subcontractor Default Insurance (SDI). The

CM/GC is to include in RFP Attachment 6.3, Section E, a rate for a CCIP, in the amounts of insurance

coverage required by the Pro Forma General Conditions. The CM/GC shall also include in RFP

Attachment 6.3, Section E, a rate for SDI in addition to the rate for a Performance and Materials

Payment Bond, as required by the Pro Forma General Conditions. If a potential CM/GC Respondent is

unable to provide one, or both of these programs, they shall notify the State during the Questions &

Comments period noted in RFP Section 2.1. Failure to provide rates for these programs may result in

disqualification of the response.
