Construction Manager at Risk for New Precinct 4 Maintenance Center

Tarrant County is soliciting proposals for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) to oversee the construction of the New Precinct 4 Maintenance Center located at 1005 Scotland Avenue, Azle, Texas. The project scope includes the development of an administration building, maintenance building, fleet building, fuel station with two 5,000-gallon tanks and four pumps, eight covered storage buildings totaling approximately 11,580 square feet, covered parking areas, and retaining walls. The CMAR will operate in two phases: Phase 1 focuses on preconstruction services, including estimating and the establishment of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), while Phase 2 covers the full construction, occupancy, and warranty phases. The project is governed by Texas Local Government Code Chapter 2269 and utilizes AIA contract forms, specifically A133-2019 and A201-2017. The selection process is a one-step method where proposals are evaluated based on construction management services (20%), project team staffing (20%), price proposal (35%), experience with similar projects (10%), safety records (10%), and references (5%). Mandatory requirements for the selected firm include providing payment and performance bonds from a Texas Department of Insurance licensed surety for contracts exceeding specific thresholds, adhering to Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage rates, and complying with a 20% good faith target goal for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB). Technical specifications are provided by Parkhill, McAdams, WJHW, Inc., and Datacom Design Group, with comprehensive geotechnical reports and stability analyses already completed to guide foundation and retaining wall design. Final award decisions are made by the Tarrant County Commissioners Court.
