The City of Cape Coral, Florida, is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 2026-RFP-PW-061-KR to establish a pool of qualified firms to provide Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) services on an as-needed basis. This contract covers a diverse range of projects with construction costs under $4,000,000, including new construction, renovations, demolition, site work, underground utilities, road construction, and mitigation projects. The selected firms will be responsible for both pre-construction services, such as value engineering and buildability analysis, and the construction phase, which includes permitting and subcontractor management. All projects will operate under a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) structure, where the contract is billed as actual cost plus a fixed fee. Proposals are evaluated using a points-based scoring system, with specific weight given to the qualifications and experience of key personnel. Administrative requirements are handled on a pass/fail basis, and firms may claim preference if they hold certified minority, women, or small business enterprise certifications from the State of Florida. Key compliance mandates include adherence to the Davis-Bacon Act, the Copeland Anti-Kickback Act, and the Jessica Lunsford Act for personnel screening. Additionally, firms must provide 100% payment and performance bonds for any work authorization exceeding $200,000. Submissions must be made electronically via the OpenGov portal by the December 2, 2026, deadline.
