Construction Management Services for Lockhart Middle School Renovation Comprehensive Project

Orange County Public Schools is seeking Construction Management at Risk services for a comprehensive renovation and remodeling project at Lockhart Middle School, located at 3411 Dr Love Road, Orlando, Florida. With an estimated construction cost of 30,600,000 dollars, the project aims to upgrade campus facilities, systems, and finishes to meet current design guidelines and educational requirements. The scope of work includes addressing existing deficiencies, improving life safety and accessibility, remodeling spaces for functional equity, and potentially demolishing existing buildings for new construction. Because the project will take place on an occupied campus, the scope includes the provision of temporary facilities and classrooms to support construction phasing. The procurement process for solicitation 2612CM involved a rigorous evaluation of multiple firms, including Batson-Cook Construction, CORE Construction Services of Florida, T&G Corporations, and Welbro Building Corporation. Following a series of shortlist evaluations, committee interviews, and scoring based on experience, staffing, and financial capabilities, Welbro Building Corporation emerged as the top-ranked firm. A notice of intended decision was issued on August 10, 2026, recommending Welbro Building Corporation for the award, with final School Board approval tentatively scheduled for August 25, 2026.
