NC Central University

North Carolina Central University is soliciting Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) services for Phase 1 of the HVAC and BAS Repairs at the Mary Townes and BRITE Complex. This project involves a Fixed Guaranteed Maximum Price (FGMP) contract and encompasses architectural roof modifications for equipment replacement, the delivery of a clash-free BIM model, and the provision of as-built drawings. The selected CMR must act as the owner's fiduciary and is responsible for maintaining a secure work site, minimizing campus disruptions, and coordinating utility outages on the active university campus. The selection process is managed by a Pre-selection Committee that ranks firms to recommend three finalists for approval by the Board or State Building Commission. Award decisions are based on a qualifications questionnaire, with a requirement for a sworn statement regarding the exclusive assignment of key personnel. The contract mandates a five percent retainage on payments, which may be waived after fifty percent of the work is completed. Compliance requirements include the provision of performance and labor and material payment bonds, adherence to equal opportunity clauses, and the submission of a non-collusion and non-suspension statement. Final acceptance is contingent upon a State Construction Office inspection and designer certification that all punch lists are complete.
