Park Creek Elementary Modifications Project

The Park Creek Elementary Modifications Project is a construction management/general contractor solicitation issued by Dalton Public Schools in Georgia, with a solicitation number PE-55294-NONST-2026-000000016 and a proposal deadline of July 16, 2026. The project is scoped as a comprehensive renovation involving a re-roofing of the existing building with an estimated base cost of $3.5 million, including partial HVAC replacement, and includes optional additive scopes such as a drive-through canopy, metal roof replacement, and parking improvements that could raise the total contract value to $6.35 million if all options are exercised. The contract will be executed under the AIA A133-2019 Owner-CM/GC agreement with a Guaranteed Maximum Price structure, requiring full return of any unused contingency to the owner and limiting the CM’s contingency to 2% of trade contract value for unforeseen conditions only. The CM/GC must demonstrate a minimum of 10 years in continuous business, maintain a principal office within 250 miles of the project site in Georgia, and satisfy stringent financial, bonding, and safety qualifications, including a Debt/Equity ratio verification, bonding capacity for up to $10 million, an Experience Modification Rate of 1.20 or below, and active Builder’s Risk Insurance. Proposals must include detailed resumes of key personnel, organizational charts, safety programs, financial statements, project references, and mandatory disclosures regarding legal claims, stop work orders, failures on prior projects, and conflicts of interest. Evaluation is conducted on a best-value trade-off basis across 12 weighted factors totaling 100 points, with emphasis on fee proposal, firm experience, project team qualifications, local participation, construction management planning, and safety performance. Proposals must be submitted in hard copy only—one original and five copies bound in a three-ring binder or wire-bound format, within a cardboard box, and delivered by hand or mail to the specified Dalton Public Schools address; electronic submissions are not accepted. Compliance with Georgia state procurement laws, the International Building Code, and mandatory use of E-Verify for all workers is required, along with a two-year warranty on all work and open-book accounting as defined by AIA standards. Pre-proposal meeting attendance on June 30, 2026, is mandatory for eligibility.
