RE:

Union Hill Elementary School Update – CM at Risk

Request for Proposals for Construction Management at Risk for Union Hill Elementary School was advertised on July 12, 2007.  A mandatory pre-proposal conference was held on Tuesday, July 31, 2007 with seventeen contractors in attendance.  Seven proposals were received on August 7, 2007.

After an extensive review by GCS staff and the Architect Selection Committee, three companies have been selected to be forwarded to the BOE.  The three companies in order of ranking are: J.H. Allen Inc., Asheboro, NC, Samet Corporation, Greensboro, NC, and New Atlantic Contracting Group, Winston Salem, NC.

The number one ranked company has an excellent construction history with GCS.   This history includes:  Gibsonville and Guilford Elementary Schools.   Their MWBE Participation for these projects ranged from 17.46% to 30.13%.

RECOMMENDATION:  The Architect Selection Committee recommends that staff and the Board attorney enter into negotiations with J.H. Allen, Inc. to provide services as Construction Management at Risk for Union Hill Elementary School.
