RFP CMAR WATER PARK PROJECT

Reeves County, Texas, is soliciting qualifications for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for a Water Park Project under solicitation number 25-016. This procurement follows a two-step process in accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 2269, covering both pre-construction and general construction services, including subcontractor bidding and the establishment of a Guaranteed Maximum Price. Sealed proposals must be submitted via the Bonfire portal or in person to the Purchasing Department by July 15, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST, with a tentative award date of August 11, 2025. The selection process emphasizes the experience and qualifications of key personnel, including the Project Manager, Estimator, and Construction Superintendent. Offerors must provide three representative completed projects for each key role; projects that are not substantially complete will receive zero points. Evaluation criteria include past performance, safety records, methodology, proximity to the project, and proposed fees. The top-ranked offeror will be invited to negotiate first. Awarded contractors must provide performance and payment bonds equal to the project budget from a surety authorized in Texas within 10 days of contract execution or the establishment of the guaranteed maximum price. Compliance requirements include adherence to the Purchasing Code of Ethics, completion of a Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire, and certifications regarding non-involvement with designated foreign terrorist organizations and energy company boycotts. All submissions are subject to the Texas Public Information Act and are considered non-confidential. While the County is responsible for independent inspection and materials testing, the CMAR is expected to coordinate constructability reviews and quality control.
