RFQu 27-752-819 CM at Risk Stoneview Elementary School Modernization

The DeKalb County Board of Education is soliciting proposals for Construction Management at Risk services for the full modernization of Stoneview Elementary School in Lithonia, Georgia. The project involves a facility with a 750-seat capacity and 48 instructional units, with a scope of work that includes the addition of four new classrooms, a new media center, and a new security vestibule, as well as general updates to doors and frames. The stated cost of limitation for this project is 30,000,000 dollars. Key project milestones include a 100 percent construction document submittal in February 2027, a notice to proceed on March 1, 2027, and a substantial completion date of June 29, 2029. Qualified firms must have been in continuous business for at least five years and provide evidence of a per-project bonding capacity of 40,000,000 dollars. The selection process is multi-staged, beginning with an initial screening where a Proposal Evaluation Committee scores firms based on successful related building experience and the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal. The top five scoring firms will be shortlisted for interviews and oral presentations before a final recommendation is made to the Chief of Capital Improvements and the Board of Education. Proposals must be submitted electronically by November 5, 2026, and must include a variety of certifications, including noncollusion and conflict of interest affidavits, as well as a bid bond of no less than 5 percent of the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal. The district emphasizes that the key personnel identified in the proposal are expected to execute the project. While there are no mandatory set-asides, firms are encouraged to outline voluntary programs for engaging local and small businesses.
