NOTICE TO CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS

The Florida International University Board of Trustees announces that construction management services are required for the Project identified below:

 

PROJECT NAME & NUMBER:BT-868 Parking Garage Six (“Project”)

PROJECT LOCATION:Modesto A. Maidique Campus (MMC), Miami, Florida

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The University’s Department of Parking and Transportation plans to construct a new parking garage for approximately 2,000 cars on the MMC site currently designated as Parking Lot #1, located between SW 8th Street and SW 10th Street (University Drive - East Campus Circle) and between the 112th street campus entrance and the existing PG4 Garage.

The Project will be similar in design and construction to the existing PG5 “Market Station” which is located about 900 feet east of the proposed site. In addition to parking on upper floors, the ground floor of the project may include a bus station, retail space, classrooms, offices and support spaces. These spaces may be constructed as unfinished shell space, fully built out concurrently with the garage or, alternatively, the area may be initially constructed as parking with some provisions for future conversion into enclosed space.

The Project will involve construction of roadway improvements and access drives needed to facilitate traffic flow into, out of, and around the proposed garage. Adjacent features such as a traffic circle and a pedestrian bridge may also be incorporated into the Project.

The Project is planned to occur in at least two major phases and may require multiple Guaranteed Maximum Prices (GMPs). Preliminary site demolition work, underground utilities work, foundations and other underground work will start as a first phase prior to new above-ground work. Work on the creation of shell space or build-out of the shell space may occur as additional phases after the parking garage is substantially complete. Funding sources for shell space and build-out of the shell space and for a bridge and some road work elements are unknown at this time and their construction is contingent on funding. FIU reserves the right to retain separate construction management firms to manage the construction of the shell space and build-out of the shell space and to do other improvements within and adjacent to Parking Garage Six as separate projects.

The total building construction cost is currently estimated to be approximately $31,000,000. Construction Documents are expected to be completed in 2013 and all phases of construction must be completed in time for the start of the fall 2014 semester.
