Project Management Services (Owner’s Representation) for the new Dallas Police Department Law Enforcement Training Center at University of North Texas at Dallas and Proposed Public Safety Campus

The City of Dallas, through its Office of Bond and Construction Management, is soliciting qualifications for a firm to serve as the Owner’s Representative and Project Management Team for the Dallas Police Department Law Enforcement Training Center at the University of North Texas at Dallas and a proposed Public Safety Campus. The selected firm will partner with City leadership, the Architect of Record, and the Construction Manager at Risk to oversee all phases of the project, from planning and design through commissioning. The established not-to-exceed contract amount for pre-construction and construction services, including the CMAR fee, is approximately $150,000,000.00. The contract features a five-year base term with three optional one-year extensions, for a potential total duration of eight years. Award selection is based on a best-value trade-off process rather than the lowest price, with technical evaluations weighted across experience and qualifications, project methodology, capacity and resources, and past performance. Key requirements include a mobilization timeline of 14 to 30 days, strict adherence to communication protocols via the Bonfire portal, and compliance with various state and local mandates, including the Davis Bacon Act and City of Dallas Living Wage requirements. The scope of work demands comprehensive oversight of budget controls, risk mitigation, and stakeholder coordination, with final project acceptance resting solely with the City Director.
