Sealed Proposals will be accepted until 2:00 P.M., Local Time, December 30, 2026, at the office of the Elko City Clerk; 1751 College Avenue; Elko, Nevada 89801, for the following:
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK (CMAR)
NEW CITY HALL PROJECT
Proposals received by the City Clerk after the above-stated time will not be accepted. Applicants mailing their Proposals assume the risk of late delivery.
Request for Proposal documents, rendering, and specifications can be obtained free of charge electronically from the City of Elko's website. All Applicants shall be registered with the Elko City Clerk's Office on the official plan holder's list for this project prior to submitting proposals for this project.
All Proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope that is legibly marked CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK (CMAR) for the New City Hall Project mailed to City of Elko, City Clerk, 1751 College Avenue, Elko, NV 89801 or dropped off at the same address. City Staff shall thoroughly review all Proposals for conformance with the RFP documents prior to proposal ranking and the interviewing process.
The City may reject all applicants and may revise the procurement schedule by notice consistent with applicable law. The City may waive a nonmaterial irregularity only if doing so does not provide an applicant a competitive advantage or change the published evaluation criteria. The City or its authorized representative will negotiate a preconstruction contract in the order of the final rankings as required by NRS 338.1693. Any contract negotiated by an authorized representative remains subject to required City approval. The City Council may approve or decline a proposed contract but will not substitute an applicant outside the statutory ranking and negotiation process.
Applicants shall not submit a pricing proposal or preliminary proposed amount of compensation with their initial proposals or as part of the interview process. No pricing or compensation amount will be scored in selecting the CMAR. The proposal and interview criteria and weights in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the RFP, respectively, are the exclusive scoring criteria for those stages.
Following final ranking, the City or its authorized representative will negotiate with the most qualified applicant a contract for preconstruction services under NRS 338.1693. That contract will establish the authorized preconstruction scope, compensation, reimbursable expenses, staffing, deliverables, schedule, and other applicable terms. If negotiations fail, the City or its authorized representative may proceed in rank order as provided in NRS 338.1693.
After the City has finalized the design of the Project, or an identified portion, sufficiently to determine its provable cost, the City will negotiate with the selected CMAR a construction contract under NRS 338.1696. The construction price may be based on cost of the work plus a fee with a guaranteed maximum price, a fixed price, or a fixed price plus reimbursement for overhead and other construction-related costs and expenses, as authorized by NRS 338.1696. Construction scope and pricing, including general conditions, insurance and bonds, and any CMAR contingency, must be defined in the resulting construction contract or qualifying construction-phase amendment. This RFP does not establish a construction price, guarantee a construction award, or authorize construction work.
The City Council may formally award the contract to the successful Applicant at its regularly scheduled meeting at City Hall on February 9th, 2027, after 4:00 P.M, Local Time. The City Council may, in its sole discretion, reject all Proposals.
The City of Elko reserves the right to accept or reject any and/or all items specified in the Proposal and further reserves the right to waive any minor technicalities in the proposal documents.
Dated this 12th day of November 2026.
