Byron Middle School Modifications

The Byron Middle School Modification Project is a construction management at risk (CMAR) effort led by the Peach County School District in Georgia, with a project budget ranging from five to ten million dollars and a targeted completion date of July 2026. The project encompasses site work, building renovations, selective demolition, and upgrades to existing facilities. The selected construction management firm will provide comprehensive pre-construction, construction, and warranty services under a cost-plus-fee structure that transitions to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The process emphasizes an open-book approach, with all savings returned to the owner, and requires detailed proposals including firm experience, project team qualifications, management plans, schedules, financial stability, and fee structures. The contract documents specify a mandatory pre-proposal conference, proposal submission by September 11, 2025, with six hard copies and one digital copy, and outline strict requirements for key personnel qualifications, bonding, insurance, and community engagement strategies. The contractual framework does not explicitly incorporate federal FAR clauses or specific statutory references but establishes general terms governing project scope, quality assurance, schedule management, and closeout procedures. The scope includes detailed deliverables such as validation of budgets, development of CPM schedules, quality control, safety protocols, and closeout documentation, with responsibilities shared among the construction manager, owner, and architect. The project’s performance timeline is driven by a comprehensive schedule management plan, requiring the contractor to coordinate multiple packages and ensure timely completion. Evaluation of proposals will be based on a points system emphasizing experience, management approach, local participation, references, financial stability, and fee proposal, with the owner reserving the right to reject any submissions. Administrative and financial processes, including payment procedures, contract administration contacts, and invoicing methods, are not detailed in the available documentation, focusing instead on project oversight and quality control responsibilities.
