New College of FloridaNOTICE TO CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS:
New College of Florida announces that construction management services will be required for the project listed below:
Project No.:NCF-06
Project:Seawall Project
New College of Florida
Sarasota, Florida
Estimated Construction Budget:$2,000,000
New College of Florida, Florida’s Honors College, is located on Sarasota Bay on a campus largely comprised of the former Charles Ringling Estate. Part of the Ringling legacy is approximately 1,031 linear feet of Ringling-era (1920’s) seawall, much of it declining and some of it in danger of failing. Two large storm water outfalls penetrate the seawall. The only dock is a modest concrete structure.
●The project, currently in an analysis and design phase, will involve the following work scope:
●The restoration, repair or removal of the seawall depending on design recommendations,
●The creation of an intertidal lagoon landward of the existing seawall line,
●The rerouting of storm water from existing outlets through the created lagoon,
●The creation of a walkway along the shoreline along with associated landscaping and lighting.
The contract for construction management services will consist of two phases. Phase one is pre-construction services, for which the construction manager will be paid a fixed fee. Phase one services include value engineering, constructability analyses, development of a cost model, estimating, and the development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The development of the GMP is planned at the completion of the 50% Construction Document phase. If the GMP is accepted, phase two, the construction phase, will be implemented. In phase two 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, encouraging the inclusion of Minority Business enterprises (MBEs). Failure to negotiate an acceptable fixed fee for phase one 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.
