Construction Manager at Risk - Clearwater Baseball Campus Enhancements

The City of Clearwater and Phillies Florida are soliciting qualifications for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) to provide preconstruction and construction services for enhancements to the Clearwater Baseball Campus, with a primary focus on BayCare Ballpark. The scope includes campus technology, communications, and security upgrades. A critical requirement is the ability to execute the project within a strict construction window to avoid interrupting Phillies Spring Training or the Clearwater Threshers MiLB season. The selected firm will be compensated based on the cost of works plus a negotiated fee, subject to an agreed-upon Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The selection process is based on a ranking system conducted by a committee of five representatives from Phillies Florida and the City. Evaluation criteria emphasize firm and team qualifications, specifically requiring evidence of at least three CMAR projects exceeding 50 million dollars completed within the last five years. Key personnel, including the Project Executive, Project Manager, Superintendent, and Preconstruction Manager, will be heavily scrutinized. The CMAR must also provide 100 percent payment and performance bonds complying with Florida Statutes and implement a comprehensive Quality Control/Quality Assurance program. Submissions must be electronically delivered via the OpenGov portal by the September 8, 2026, deadline, adhering to a 25-page limit for the primary qualifications sections.
