CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK Request for Qualifications (RFQ)

RFQ No. 2526-52

1. INTRODUCTION

The City of Norman (Owner) is seeking a Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) to provide construction

services for the Norman Housing Hub project.

The CMaR will provide preconstruction and construction services under a GMP structure (Cost of

Construction + Fee for a Guaranteed Maximum Price).

The project emphasizes collaboration, cost control, and operational functionality.

These services will be coordinated with the selected architectural and engineering (A/E) firm. Oklahoma

City firm, Frankfurt, Short, Bruza (FSB) was selected as the Architect consultant for this project in April

2026.

2. BACKGROUND

The City of Norman is advancing the development of the Norman Housing Hub as a comprehensive, multi-

building campus intended to provide secure, dignified, and operationally efficient emergency and

transitional housing. The project is envisioned as a cohesive, service-oriented environment that integrates

shelter, intake, care, and support services within a unified site.

The current conceptual plan (Exhibit B) organizes the Norman Housing Hub as a coordinated campus

consisting of multiple buildings, associated parking, internal drives, and secured outdoor spaces. The site

design incorporates a controlled recreational courtyard and a designated detention area, both integrated

into the overall operational framework. A portion of the site is impacted by floodplain constraints, which

have been carefully incorporated into the concept plan to maximize functional and buildable areas while

maintaining regulatory compliance.

The Norman Housing Hub is being developed to support a range of resident needs, from large-scale

emergency shelter to smaller-scale, specialized care and family-oriented housing. The project includes

hardened weather refuge areas within the primary residential components to provide enhanced life-safety

protection during severe weather events. These areas will be integrated into the men’s and women’s

dormitory zones and constructed with reinforced materials and controlled access; however, unless

otherwise directed by the Owner, they are not anticipated to meet FEMA or ICC 500 storm shelter

certification requirements.

The secured outdoor courtyard is designed to support resident wellness and daily activity within a

controlled environment. It is anticipated to include low-maintenance field turf, picnic seating, and a

designated recreation area.

The Norman Housing Hub program is currently organized into two primary buildings:

Commented [SH1]: Cost of Construction?

Building 1 – Emergency Shelter and Core Operations (±13,250 SF)

Building 1 functions as the primary intake, shelter, and operational hub for the campus. It is designed to

support secure intake, efficient service delivery, and high-capacity overnight accommodations.

Key components include:

• Secure check-in and intake suite with controlled entry vestibule and staffed intake stations

• Administrative and staff support areas, including offices, breakroom, and storage

• Men’s and women’s dormitories are designed as hardened refuge areas with adjacent restrooms

and shower facilities

• Resident support functions, including laundry and personal storage

• Community and multi-use space for dining, programming, and daily operations

• Donations and service intake area with controlled access for receiving and sorting

• Animal care facilities, including indoor kennels and a secure exterior dog run

Building 2 – Intake, Respite Care, and Family Housing (±6,700 SF)

Building 2 provides specialized intake, short-term care, and family-oriented housing in a smaller-scale,

controlled setting that complements the primary shelter.

Key components include:

• Entry and secure check-in with reception and intake processing

• Respite care suite (approximately 10 occupants) with dedicated support facilities

• Medical support space, including one exam room for basic health services

• Support spaces such as a laundry and a multi-purpose room for meetings or counseling

• Family residential component consisting of four apartment-style units with shared kitchen and living

space

Based on the current preliminary budget (Exhibit C), the total estimated project cost for the Norman

Housing Hub is approximately $8 million, inclusive of construction costs, contractor fee, FF&E allowance,

and design fees.

Due to the project’s multi-building configuration, secure operational requirements, and site constraints, the

Norman Housing Hub will require a highly collaborative and technically responsive approach among the

Owner, Architect/Engineer, Operator, and Construction Manager at Risk to successfully deliver the project .
