SECTION 1 BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
This Request for Proposals (RFP) invites Proposals for Construction Management at Risk (CMAR)
preconstruction services for the Advanced Water Purification (AWP) Pilot Project (Project) for the City of
Spring Hill (OWNER). Proposals shall follow the requirements set forth herein, including the format and
content guidelines described in Section 5. The Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated using the
selection process described in Section 6. At the completion of the RFP evaluation process, the OWNER
will select a CMAR Firm (PROPOSER) for intent to award and begin negotiations for the award of the
CMAR Agreement.
In this RFP, unless the context requires otherwise, capitalized terms have the meanings as first used in the
text of this RFP and/or as defined in Attachment A (Definition of Terms). Capitalized terms and
acronyms used in this RFP but not defined in Attachment A (Definition of Terms) have the meanings in
the CMAR Agreement.
Using the CMAR project delivery method, the PROPOSER will support the design process and construct
the Project in two phases.
1. Preconstruction Phase: The OWNER will issue a contract with the PROPOSER to provide
Preconstruction Phase Services to support the OWNER’s DESIGN ENGINEER in developing the
design for the Project. During this phase, the DESIGN ENGINEER will advance the design to the level
of completion necessary to define the Project and will provide construction-ready documents prior to
the initiation of the Construction Phase Services. When the DESIGN ENGINEER’s design reaches
approximately 90 percent completion, the PROPOSER will present a construction schedule and an
open book Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) to the OWNER in accordance with the CMAR
Agreement. The GMP will include the cost of the Construction Phase Work through commissioning
and start-up, general conditions pricing, overhead, and profit as a percentage of the cost of the
Construction Phase Work.
2. Construction Phase: After the OWNER and PROPOSER agree on the GMP for the Project, the
Construction Phase Services will be authorized and initiated following OWNER’s City Council approval
of any amendment to the CMAR Agreement. The PROPOSER will procure all subcontractors and
vendors, and will be responsible for the Project’s construction, startup, commissioning, operator
training, performance testing, and warranty services as described in the CMAR Agreement. Should
the OWNER and the PROPOSER be unable to agree on a price for the Construction Phase Services,
the OWNER reserves the right to terminate the existing CMAR Agreement and begin negotiations
with another PROPOSER or direct the DESIGN ENGINEER to complete the design and prepare
construction documents for public bidding of the Project.
This RFP is subject to revision after the date of issuance via written addenda. Any such addenda will
be transmitted to potential PROPOSERS that have provided notice to OWNER under Section 4.1. It is
each PROPOSER’s responsibility to obtain all RFP addenda prior to submitting its proposal.
