General Contractor Geriatric Clinic

El Paso County Hospital District d/b/a University Medical Center of El Paso is soliciting proposals for a Construction Manager at Risk to provide preconstruction services for the Geriatric Health Center project, a 50,000-square-foot outpatient facility featuring 50 exam rooms, 15 urgent care rooms, and integrated imaging, pharmacy, and laboratory services. The project, located immediately north of the UMC Main Campus in El Paso, Texas, is funded through the hospital district’s bond program and requires early engagement of the CMAR to support design development, cost estimating, constructability reviews, phasing analysis, procurement planning, and the formulation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price. The selected firm will collaborate closely with the design team to align budget and scope prior to any potential future construction phase agreement under the AIA A133-2019 form, though no commitment is made to award the construction phase. Proposals must include a detailed concept budget with assumptions on general conditions, contractor fees, and contingency, along with a demonstrated project team and key personnel, firm qualifications, and a technical approach that addresses site logistics, risk management, and strategies to minimize disruption to active healthcare operations. Evaluation is based on a weighted trade-off process prioritizing budget development (30%), team qualifications (25%), relevant experience (20%), technical execution strategy (15%), and proposed schedule (10%), with no reliance on lowest price selection. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire portal by June 11, 2026, and organized into three tabbed volumes covering cover letter and technical approach, completed mandatory forms including conflict of interest, public integrity, and debarment certifications, and supporting documentation. Offerors must comply with Texas prevailing wage requirements, use approved apprenticeship programs, and adhere to strict infection control and life safety protocols due to the occupied medical environment. The CMAR is required to publicly advertise and competitively bid all trade contractor packages under Texas Government Code Section 2269.255, establishing organizational conflict of interest safeguards. Submission must include a completed W-9, non-collusion affidavit, and evidence of vendor registration, with no UEI or CAGE code provided in the submission template but still required. Inspection and acceptance occur at the project site upon substantial completion, governed by AIA A201-2017, owner requirements, and applicable state and federal codes. The contract administration structure lacks designated COR, COTR, or PCO names, and
