Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Services-For Midland ISD Storie Middle School Reno/Encore – Phase 1 and Phase 2(One-Step Process)

Midland ISD is soliciting Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) services for the renovation and expansion of Storie Middle School through a one-step process under RFP #26-95, with responses due by May 28, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. local time. The contract is structured under the AIA A133-2019 form, defining a Cost-Plus-Fee arrangement with a Guaranteed Maximum Price to be mutually agreed upon, emphasizing a best-value selection methodology rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Proposals must be submitted as a single electronically bound PDF via the Ionwave portal, following strict formatting rules including a table of contents and dedicated sections aligned with evaluation criteria, and must include a Letter of Intent for Performance and Payment Bonds. The scope of work involves full execution of construction documents, compliance with Texas educational standards (19 TAC §61.1036), AIA B101-2017 practices, and adherence to safety, quality, and environmental regulations, including hazardous material handling and inspections conducted on-site by the Architect and ultimately accepted by the Midland ISD Board of Trustees. Special requirements include mandatory annual criminal background checks for all personnel, front-facing ID tags for on-site workers, compliance with Texas labor and public information laws, and adherence to federal regulations under 2 CFR Part 200 for expenditures above $250,000. Insurance must be primary and non-contributory, naming the District as an additional insured, with full indemnification assumed by the contractor. Delivery and performance are centered at the school site, with off-site storage only permitted under written approval from the Owner and Surety, and materials stored in bonded warehouses. Evaluation of proposals will weigh safety record (up to 10 points) and responsiveness to questions (up to 15 points) alongside price, using a trade-off approach where non-price factors such as local experience, subcontractor management, and project methodology can offset cost. No federal acquisition regulation (FAR) clauses apply, but Texas-specific compliance and record retention obligations, including public disclosure under Government Code Chapter 552, are integral. The procurement is not set aside, no federal appropriation codes are used, and invoicing follows AIA Forms G702 and G703 without integration into federal systems like WAWF. Contract administration is overseen by the Superintendent of Schools and the Program Manager, with no designated COR, COT
