Professional Construction Management/General Contracting Services (CMAR) for a new Public Works Facility

With the adoption of the FY23-24 City budget, the Council of the City of Edgewater (“City”) approved the construction of Phase I of a new Public Works Facility. The construction of this facility will improve the services the City provides to its stakeholders. Further, this facility will be crucial in continuing to meet the needs of our growing community, delivering essential services efficiently, and promoting sustainability. The City contracted with Schenkel Shultz Architecture as the Design Professional (DP) to design 100% plans and secure the needed permits for the facility’s site development and construction. FDEP permit applications have been submitted for the construction of a domestic wastewater collection/transmission system and a State 404 Program Permit. The City is looking for a skilled and committed Construction Management/General Contracting Services (CM/GC) firm to help achieve this ambitious project goal. This partnership will play a critical role in overseeing the project from start to finish, prioritizing quality, safety, and cost management at each construction phase. The Construction Manager will confirm all subcontractors have secured all the necessary construction and development permits during the project's construction phase. The purpose of this qualification-based solicitation (RFQ) is to select the most appropriate firm(s) to provide the requested services within the City’s established budget. It is anticipated that one (1) firm will be awarded a basic contract to provide the necessary Part A, Pre-Construction Phase Services Contract, and a Part B, Construction Phase Services Contract, for twenty-four (24) months or until project completion, whichever occurs later, exercisable at the option of the City. It should be emphasized that the award of Part A-Pre-Construction Services does not guarantee the provision of Part B-Construction Services. Given the phased nature of the project, separate City Council actions will be required for both Part A and Part B.
