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-591, “OOO” Building, Gainesville, Florida
The UF Health Otolaryngology, Ophthalmology and Orthopaedics building (“OOO”) is projected as a 4 story, approximately 85,000-100,000 gross square foot state of the art multidisciplinary facility engaged in the teaching, research, surgery, rehabilitation and clinical care of all patients with conditions affecting their eyes, ears, nose, throat, and musculoskeletal system.
The estimated construction budget is approximately $28M. Project will include all work associated with site improvement, utilities, CEP, demolitions, retention, new roadways, resurfacing existing and new parking spaces, landscape, irrigation, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, data / communications (conduit/raceways only) / infrastructure, A/V, security system/infrastructure, required surveys & tests, coordination for threshold inspection and commissioning services, detailed cost estimating and GMPs at various stages of design, fast track construction for early site work / foundation / CEP delivery, furnishing and equipment (CFCI, OFCI and OFOI), weekly meetings and reporting, monthly progress reporting, LEED and submittal process to USGBC, coordination with the User group CM and CxA, PPD and EH&S, partial renovation of existing building for connections to the new building. Occupancy is July 2018 without exception. GOLD LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council is mandatory, but the team shall work with the University and design professionals to analyze the possibility of achieving a higher level of certification without additional expense.
The contract for construction management services will consist of two phases, pre-construction and construction. Pre-construction services will begin at the Schematic Design stage and will include production of cost studies and estimates (fast track); 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 100% Construction Documents at various stages. If the GMP proposal is accepted and executed, the construction phase will be implemented. There will be multiple GMPs for early site/CEP/foundation/building package. In these phases, the construction manager becomes the single point of responsibility for performance of the construction of the project and shall publicly bid trade contracts. Other arrangements could be made with approval of the Owner to expedite the delivery method. 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, Worker’s Compensation, and Builder’s Risk.
