Amana Academy West- Lake Park Drive Construction and Renovations 2025-2026

Amana Academy West, a Georgia state charter school, is soliciting qualified General Contractors to provide construction management services for a comprehensive seismic structural upgrade and interior renovation project scheduled for 2025-2026. The project aims to enhance the safety and functionality of the existing facility located at 2200 Lake Park Drive in Smyrna, Georgia, with a contract size estimated between 5 million and 15 million dollars. The scope includes tenant fit-out of an existing two-story office building to create new classroom spaces, involving selective demolition, new partitions, and upgrades to meet current building codes, including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural systems. The project must achieve a Certificate of Occupancy by July 15, 2026, with critical work to be performed outside school hours until May 20, 2025, after which full access is granted. The Request for Proposal (RFP) emphasizes detailed submission requirements, including a lump sum proposal broken down by CSI divisions, a comprehensive project schedule, and company qualifications. Contractors are evaluated based on their experience, schedule adherence, pricing, and value engineering, with the possibility of interviews. The project documentation includes detailed construction drawings, permit sets, and technical specifications aligned with the 2018 International Building Codes and relevant standards such as ADA and NFPA. The cost breakdown exhibit, although currently a draft with placeholder values, outlines the structure for pricing and allowances across various construction categories. Overall, the project seeks a construction management team capable of delivering high-quality seismic and interior upgrades within a defined timeline and budget, ensuring compliance with all applicable codes and standards.
