NOTICE TO CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS
New College of Florida announces that construction management services will be required for the project listed below:
Project No.: NCF-03
Project: Phase I – New Academic/Administration Building
Phase II – New International and Area Studies Building
New College of Florida
Sarasota, Florida
Estimated Construction Budget: Phase I – $8,480,000
Phase II – $1,770,000
Phase I of the project consists of the construction of a new Academic/Administration Building to replace the existing Palmer A, C, D and E buildings on New College Campus
Phase II of the project consists of the construction an academic facility to functions supporting International and Area Studies. It is anticipated that project funding for this Phase will be fully in hand no later than the summer of 2008. However, since Phase II of this project is contingent upon private funding as well as State of Florida appropriations not yet in hand, the project can not proceed until full funding is received. As such, the College reserves the right, at any time, to defer or terminate this project and/or initiate a separate Construction Manager selection process.
The contract for construction management services for each Phase of the work will consist of two phases. Phase one is pre-construction services, for which the construction manager will be paid a fixed fee. Phase one services include value engineering, constructability analyses, development of a cost model, estimating, and the development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). The development of the GMP is planned at the completion of the 50% Construction Document phase. If the GMP is accepted, phase two, the construction phase, will be implemented. In phase two of the contract, the construction manager becomes the single point of responsibility for performance of the construction of the project and shall publicly bid trade contracts, encouraging the inclusion of Minority Business enterprises (MBEs). Failure to negotiate an acceptable fixed fee for phase one of the contract, or to arrive at an acceptable GMP within the time provided in the agreement may result in the termination of the construction manager’s contract.
