Request for Qualifications for Capital Building and Maintenance Project Management Services for Charleston County School District

The Charleston County School District is soliciting qualifications for project management services to oversee its Phase VI 2029-2035 Capital Building Program and Long-Term Debt Projects. The selected firm will be responsible for managing approximately $1.2 billion in capital construction, maintenance, IT infrastructure, and security projects over a six-year period. The scope of work includes new school construction and replacements, major renovations, capacity expansions, site development, and district-wide safety enhancements such as video surveillance and controlled access systems. The chosen Construction Project Management firm will act as the district representative, providing strategic leadership, financial management, and stakeholder coordination from the planning and design phases through occupancy and closeout. The selection process is based on a technical evaluation consisting of a qualifications review and interviews for the top three to five candidates. The most technically qualified offeror will be granted the opportunity to negotiate a contract based on a fixed percentage of the program budget minus the project management fee. Final terms will be developed using the AIA Document C 132-2019 Owner/Construction Manager as Adviser Agreement, amended by the district. All submissions must be made online by the December 2, 2026, deadline, and offerors must certify they are not debarred or ineligible for award by any state or federal agency.
