SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background and Special Concerns

A. The City of Sherman, Texas (“Owner”) has contracted with

Hidell and Associates Architects, Inc. (“Architect”) to assist the Owner “in

addressing its needs for a Construction Manager at Risk for the construction of a

New Fleet Services and Public Works Facility

B. The Project is described as follows:

a. The City of Sherman has engaged with an architectural and engineering

team (“Design Team”) to design a NEW FLEET SERVICES AND

PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY. The project will consist of a new

structure to provide fleet services repair and maintenance bays, a wash

bay, tire storage and associated parts and office areas. The facility will

additionally have meeting rooms, a break area, and offices for the Public

Works administrative staff. It is anticipated the new structure will utilize

a pre-engineered metal building system with metal wall panels and roof

systems.

C. Owner is seeking a Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMAR) using the one-step process

authorized by Chapter 2269, Subchapter F, of the Texas Government Code. Under

this process, the Owner issues a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) inviting interested

general contractors to submit their qualifications for performing the work and their

proposal to perform the work.

D. This Request for Proposal by Owner is seeking a CMAR. The Owner is looking

for a qualified general contractor, with prior experience in the construction of

government facilities as set forth herein:

a. CMAR must be able to work with the Design Team prior to construction to analyze

the Architect’s design, including the Plans and Specifications, to ensure the

feasibility and constructability of the Project design, and to assist in bringing the

estimated construction cost of the Project within the Construction Budget through

value engineering, the selection of building systems and materials, cost estimating,

scheduling, and other means, without adversely affecting the capacity and quality

of the Project; and

b. CMAR will propose a Guaranteed Maximum Price for the construction of the

Project after or during completion of the pre-construction services, which is within

the Construction Budget, at the 90% CD milestone. 90% CD GMP shall determine

market buy out for subcontractors and manufacturers. These subcontractors shall

submit the bought-out scope (i.e. systems, finishes, materials, labor, etc.) to

construct the project. This information will be given to the Design Team for their

use in completion of Issue For Permit and Issue For Construction documentation.

Essentially, this will close the gap on coordination for the GMP basis and will

2

streamline submittals, RFIs, constructability reviews, and construction

administration services. The CMAR will serve as general contractor for the Project

during the construction phase.

1.2 Statutory Requirements for a Construction Manager-at-Risk Contract

under Chapter 2269, Subchapter F of Texas Government Code and other

laws.

A. Definition: A “Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMAR)” is a sole proprietorship,

partnership, corporation, or other legal entity that assumes the risk for construction,

rehabilitation, alteration, or repair of a facility at the contracted price as a general

contractor and provides consultation to the Owner regarding construction during

and after the design of the facility.

B. Architects and Engineers: The Owner has previously selected the Architect to

prepare construction documents for the Project and who has full responsibility for

complying with the requirements of Chapter 1051, Subtitle B of the Texas

Occupations Code (Regulation of Architecture and Related Practices).

C. Selection Process: After Owner receives the responses to the RFP, Owner will

review the qualifications. Selection Criteria is set forth in Section 2.9 of this RFP.

The Owner has the right to accept or reject any or all proposals in the best interest

of the Owner.

With the one-step CMAR process, qualifications, proposed fees, and general

conditions to the Owner will be required in the proposal submittal, due no later

than 10:00 AM, on April 15, 2026. Submittals will be reviewed upon receipt. It is

anticipated a short list of Construction Managers will be interviewed, but the Owner

reserves the right not to conduct interviews and base the selection strictly on the

qualifications submitted or to eliminate any Construction Managers from the

selection as late as the day prior to any potential interview if the Owner determines

the qualification is insufficiently responsive to merit further consideration.

D. The successful Offeror will enter into a Construction Manager-at-Risk

Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Owner on a form required by the Owner.

E. Upon execution of the Agreement, the CMAR must show ability to provide the

insurance and bonds described in the Agreement.

F. The CMAR and all subcontractors must comply with the prevailing wage rate

advertise

and solicit either competitive bids or competitive sealed proposals

included in general conditions. A CMAR may seek to perform

portions of the work itself if the CMAR submits its bid or proposal

for those portions of the work in the same manner as all other trade

contractors or subcontractors and if the Owner determines that the

CMAR’s bid proposal provides the best value for the Owner. The

Owner reserves the right to contract separately with other

suppliers, vendors and contracts as deemed in the best interest of

the their project, and CMAR will be required to coordinate with

Subcontractors: If the CMAR reviews, evaluates, and recommends

to the Owner a bid or proposal from a trade contractor or

subcontractor, but the Owner requires a bid or proposal from

another trade contractor or subcontractor to be accepted, then,

pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Owner shall

compensate the CMAR by a change in Contract Sum, Contract

Time, or Guaranteed Maximum Price for any additional cost and

risk, which has been demonstrated to Owner’s satisfaction and as

required by the Agreement, that the CMAR may incur because of

the Owner’s requirement that another trade contractor or

subcontractor bid or proposal be accepted.
