Fire Program CMAR

Hillsborough County is soliciting qualification proposals for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) firms to provide preconstruction and construction services for its Fire Program Capital Projects. This five-year contract with renewal options covers multiple projects, including new stations, replacements, and a PSOC addition, with a total estimated construction budget of 132 million dollars. The County intends to select two firms, with an initial budget of 2 million dollars allocated for the first phase of preconstruction services. The scope is divided into two phases: preconstruction, focusing on design coordination, cost estimating, and the development of an open-book Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), and construction, which includes permitting, testing, commissioning, and turnover. Selection is based on a Qualifications Based Selection Process, scoring firms on their personnel's ability, experience with similar mission-critical facilities, project delivery approach, and current Florida workload. Mandatory requirements include compliance with a drug-free workplace, denial of business with foreign countries of concern, and comprehensive insurance coverage. Additionally, firms must commit to Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goals to be established when project designs reach 60-90 percent completion. Proposals must be submitted via the Euna Procurement system by October 5, 2026, and must adhere to specific formatting and documentation guidelines, including the submission of a bid bond where required.
