The Board may, at its discretion and in accordance with law, contract for construction management
services when planning, designing, constructing, improving, altering or repairing a building or
structure.
Construction management services are those as defined in state law. A “construction manager” is
defined as any person providing construction management services.
Selection
The Board will advertise and solicit proposals in the following manner:
1. Construction management services for projects expected to cost no more than $500,000 will
be selected in the same manner in which architects are selected, except the Board will
consider all submitted proposals even if the submission was not solicited.
2. If the total anticipated cost of the project exceeds $500,000, the Board will request and
solicit proposals by advertising for ten (10) days in one (1) newspaper of general circulation
in the county where the work is located.
3. If the anticipated project cost exceeds $1,500,000, proposals will be solicited by advertising
for ten (10) days in two (2) daily newspapers in the state that have a daily circulation of not
less than 50,000, in addition to the advertisement in the newspaper in the county where the
work will be done.
4. The Board will not prequalify construction managers nor limit the number of proposals
accepted but will accept all proposals that are in accordance with the advertised terms.
Selection of a construction manager will be based on:
1. Fees for overhead and profit.
2. Reimbursable costs.
3. Qualifications.
4. Demonstration of ability to perform comparable projects.
5. Demonstration of good-faith efforts to comply with federal, state and local affirmative
action requirements.
6. References from prior clients.
7. Financial strength.
8. Qualifications of the in-house personnel who will manage the project.
9. Demonstration of successful management systems used for estimating, scheduling and cost
controls.
The Board may negotiate a contract for services with any construction manager selected. If the
Board is unable to negotiate a contract at a fair and reasonable price, as determined by the Board,
the Board may revise the proposal and advertise again.
The Board will not award the contract for construction management services if the construction
manager or a firm that controls, is controlled by, or shares common ownership or control with the
construction manager:
1. Guarantees, warrants or otherwise assumes financial responsibility for the work of others
on the project.
2. Provides the public owner with a maximum price for the work of others on the project.
3. Furnishes or guarantees a performance or payment bond for other contractors on the project.
Upon being awarded a construction management contract, the construction manager will:
1. Furnish his or her skill and judgment in cooperation with and reliance on the project
architect or engineer.
2. Furnish business administration, management of the construction process and other specified
services in an expeditious and economical manner consistent with the best interests of the
school district.
3. Perform basic services for reimbursement as provided in the construction services
management contract.
Bids
Actual construction work on the project will be awarded by competitive bids submitted to the school
district in accordance with law. Successful bidders must satisfy the same legal requirements as a
contractor, including the obligation to provide payment and performance bonds to the district and
meet the obligations pertaining to prevailing wage. In addition, all nonresident employers must
meet the bonding and registration requirements of law.
The construction manager will not bid on or perform any of the actual construction on a project
where he or she is serving as the construction manager nor will any company that controls, is
controlled by or shares common ownership with the construction manager.
