GPSTC-44-CM Basic Law Enforcement Training Building, Forsyth - CM/GC Services

The contract for the Georgia Post Safety Training Center’s Basic Law Enforcement Training Building project involves providing Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) services for a new approximately 36,000-square-foot facility in Forsyth, Georgia, with an estimated construction cost of $13.2 million and a 16-month schedule starting late 2025. The procurement process is a two-step selection, beginning with submission of Statements of Qualifications by August 7, 2025, followed by fee proposals and interviews for shortlisted firms. The project emphasizes sustainable construction practices, requiring Georgia Peach certification, and mandates use of the Owner’s project management system, E-Builder, for all contract administration activities. The selection criteria prioritize firm stability, relevant experience, team qualifications, project approach, and fee competitiveness, with a total scoring system combining qualifications and fee proposals. The solicitation incorporates specific legal and compliance requirements, including adherence to the Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act and federal IRCA, with mandatory affidavits and certifications (Exhibits A, B, and C). Proposers must demonstrate compliance with E-Verify, disclose any conflicts of interest, and provide detailed organizational and personnel information. Communication restrictions are strict, permitting contact only through the designated procurement representative until final award. The contract documents do not specify detailed packaging, preservation, marking, or shipping instructions, nor do they include explicit line-item pricing or CLIN structures; instead, cost proposals are evaluated based on total fees submitted separately by each finalist. Insurance requirements include minimum limits for general liability and umbrella coverage, and bonding capacity must be sufficient for the project’s scope. The project schedule includes key milestones such as site visits, fee proposal deadlines, and construction commencement, with the final performance period spanning approximately 16 months. All submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via the designated GSFIC upload portal, adhering to strict formatting, labeling, and page limits, with no external links or printed copies accepted.
