UF - 394 - PK Yonge Phase II Projet
NOTICE TO CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS:
The University of Florida Board of Trustees announces that CM-At-Risk services will be required for the project listed below:
Project: UF-394, PK Yonge Phase II (Gainesville, FL)
The project consists of a three phase plan to replace the aging buildings on the PK Yonge campus. It includes the completion of design from documents created during an earlier completed phase that compiles the master plan/programming of the entire site. It also includes the demolition of buildings 513, & 517, along with construction of a new 2 story 75,000 GSF middle & high school. The project will include all infrastructure to support the new facility.
The total project budget is $20 million, including site improvements, underground utilities, fees, surveys & tests, total building comissioning, furnishings & equipment, and contingencies. Construction shall be “fast-tracked” to start immediately after design. (Gold) LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council is mandatory.
The contract for construction management services will consist of two phases, pre-construction and construction. Pre-construction services will begin at the design development stage (or the last completed stage) and will include production of cost studies and estimates; value engineering; analysis of the design documents for constructability, coordination, detailing, materials, and systems; development and maintenance of the construction schedule; production of detailed jobsite management plans; development of strategies for the procurement of trade contracts; development of waste management strategies; and development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal based on 60/100% Construction Documents. If the GMP proposal is accepted and executed, the construction phase will be implemented. In this phase, the construction manager becomes the single point of responsibility for performance of the construction of the project and shall publicly bid trade contracts. Failure to negotiate an acceptable fixed fee for phase one of the contract, or failure to arrive at an acceptable GMP budget within the time provided in the agreement, may result in the termination of the construction manager's contract.
Applicants will be evaluated on the basis of their past performance, experience, personnel, references, bonding capacity, workload, and responses to questions posed both in the shortlist and interview phases. The Selection Committee may reject all proposals and stop the selection process at any time.
At the time of application, the applicant must be licensed to practice as a general contractor in the State of Florida and, if the applicant is a corporation, must be chartered by the Florida Department of State to operate in Florida. The selected applicant will also be required to provide insurance coverage for General Liability, Automotive Liability, Workers’ Compensation, and Builder’s Risk.
Applicants desiring to provide construction management services for the project shall submit a proposal only after thoroughly reviewing the facilities program, Project Fact Sheet, and other background information. The proposal shall be prepared as specified in the CMQS Instructions and shall include:

As required by Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, an applicant may not submit a proposal for this project if it is on the convicted vendor list for a public entity crime committed within the past 36 months. The selected construction manager must warrant that it will neither utilize the services of, nor contract with, any supplier, subcontractor, or consultant in excess of $15,000.00 in connection with this project for a period of 36 months from the date of their being placed on the convicted vendor list.
