Construction Manager at Risk for DTO Action Plan Projects

The City of Orlando’s Community Redevelopment Agency is soliciting proposals under RFP26-0408 for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) to oversee a portfolio of Downtown Orlando Action Plan Projects with an anticipated completion date of September 2029. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by 2:00 p.m. local time on June 4, 2026, with no exceptions for late or paper submissions; respondents bear full responsibility for successful upload and compliance. The scope includes comprehensive construction management for site development and building systems such as structural concrete, masonry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection, all aligned with approved plans, specifications, and FDOT standards. Evaluation is based on a best-value trade-off process weighted to Understanding of Scope and Approach (30 points), Experience of Proposer and Management Team (24 points), Past Performance (23 points), CMAR Fee Estimate (21 points), and Vendor Business Enterprise (VBE) Participation (2 points). The CMAR fee must be submitted in 0.5% increments, no lower than 5%, with full points awarded to the lowest compliant bid and deductions applied sequentially. A Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) framework is referenced, though no final budget or CLIN pricing is provided. Contractual obligations include mandatory adherence to Davis-Bacon wage determinations, E-Verify usage, human trafficking affidavits, use of recovered materials, and compliance with local preference policies. Subcontractors must be experienced, supervised by named personnel, and cannot use third-party labor without approval. The City retains rights to direct purchases and enforce deductive change orders. Invoicing must be submitted to the City’s Accounts Payable office in compliance with the Prompt Payment Act, and all records are subject to audit. Proposal submissions require several certifications, including Conflict of Interest Disclosure, Vendor Business Enterprise participation documentation, and compliance with Scrutinized Companies lists affecting eligibility. The City does not specify a firm-fixed price contract type, and the award will go to the proposal offering the greatest overall value based on technical merit and price, subject to annual funding appropriation. All performances occur within Orlando, Florida, under the jurisdiction of the City and its CRA.
