Florida A&M University, on behalf of its Board of Trustees, announces that Construction Management services will be required for the project listed above.
PROJECT LOCATION: Located on Florida A&M University’s campus, the project consists of site development, renovation, and addition to Diamond and McGuinn dormitory halls. Project will be approximately 72,511 GSF housing the new FAMU Center for Access and Student Success.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed facility will house the new FAMU Center for Access and Student Success. This multipurpose building will house recruitment, admissions, financial aid, registrar, student accounts, Center for Disability Access and Resources, Undergraduate Student Success Center, computer labs, study space, student meeting space, police substation, and possibly auxiliary space and veteran’s services.
The project time frame anticipates a Fall 2016 construction start with completion and occupancy by Winter 2017. The construction budget is projected to be approximately $45,000,000. Project development is contingent upon availability of funds.
The contract for Construction Management Services shall consist of a pre-construction services phase and a construction phase. The pre-construction services phase, for which the Construction Manager will be paid a fixed fee, will include value engineering, constructability analysis, development of cost models, estimating, and the development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) at the 100% Construction Document phase. If the GMP is accepted, the Construction Phase will be implemented. Early bid packages for fast track and multi-phase development may be required to meet project goals. In the Construction Phase of the contract, 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 1 of the contract, or to arrive at an acceptable GMP within the time provided in the agreement, may result in the termination of the Construction Manager’s contract.
