CMR 302-1609 Deferred Maintenance

The University of Texas at Dallas is soliciting proposals for multiple Construction Manager at Risk firms to execute the 302-1609 Deferred Maintenance Program. This project consists of four multi-stage scopes of work designed to restore Educational and General spaces to functional conditions, with Phase 1 specifically focusing on air handler replacement, pneumatic VAV replacement, and interior restoration. The total anticipated budget across the four phases is approximately 170 million dollars, with individual phase limitations ranging from 15,000 dollars to 65 million dollars. The selection process is a two-step evaluation based on best value, where the top five or fewer ranked respondents may proceed to the second stage. Evaluation criteria include the respondent's qualifications, pre-construction and construction phase services, past performance on UT System projects, cost control measures, and project scheduling. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bonfire portal by December 4, 2026. Requirements for applicants include the submission of a HUB Subcontracting Plan, certification of Texas resident status, and adherence to state laws regarding franchise tax and workers compensation insurance. The resulting contracts will utilize the university's standard Construction Management at Risk Agreement and require payment and performance bonds.
