Description: The University of Kentucky (Procurement Services) requests proposals for Construction Management services for the comprehensive renovation of two adjacent academic buildings: Dickey Hall and Taylor Education Building. The University desires an experienced construction management firm to provide "FULL SERVICE" construction management, serving as a member of the Owner's professional team to assist with design, cost control, bidding, construction administration, schedule management, and closeout. The combined project construction budget is $51,500,000.00 (Dickey Hall $15,400,000.00; Taylor Education Building $36,100,000.00) and the total project scope is $67,400,000.00. The contract will be a pure agency relationship through Phase 4 (Bidding) and then convert to a lump sum, at-risk contract; award is contingent on Board of Trustees approval. The CM may compete for self-perform trade packages in accordance with applicable Kentucky statute provisions. The CM shall hold all construction contracts except where the University elects otherwise, and trade packages should be broken down to no fewer than ten (10) trade contracts. The work includes code, accessibility, building-systems, interior, roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, sprinkler, controls, restroom, elevator, technology, life-safety, and potential partial or full demolition and adaptive reuse elements. The RFP defines phases, detailed services, bidding and award phase responsibilities, construction phase administration (including use of BIM compatible with Revit), post-construction warranty and closeout, evaluation and award methodology (multi-phase technical, presentation and financial scoring), and special conditions, insurance and contractual requirements. The financial proposal is not required with Phase 1 and will be requested from shortlisted firms in Phase 2.
