RE:

Construction Management at Risk- Jamestown Middle School

Request for Proposals for Construction Management at Risk for Jamestown Middle School was advertised on May 18, 2008.  A mandatory pre-proposal conference was held on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 with thirty contractors in attendance.  Seventeen proposals were received on June 9, 2008.

After an extensive review by GCS staff and the Architect Selection Committee, four companies have been selected to be forwarded to the BOE.  The four companies in order of ranking are: New Atlantic Contracting Group, Winston Salem, NC, Samet Corporation, Greensboro, NC, and Barnhill Contracting, Raleigh, NC were ranked second, and D.H. Griffin, Raleigh, NC.

The number one ranked company has an excellent construction history with GCS. This history includes:  Northern Middle, Southern Middle, E.P. Pearce Elementary and Dean B. Pruette-Scales.  Their MWBE Participation for these projects ranged from 7.85% to 27.3%.

RECOMMENDATION:  The Architect Selection Committee recommends that staff and the board attorney enter into negotiations with New Atlantic Contracting Group to provide services as Construction Management at Risk for Jamestown Middle School. We also request that the board select the second and third ranked firms and authorize staff and the board attorney to enter into negotiations with the second and/or third ranked firm, if necessary.
