RE:

2008 Bond Project / Program Management Support Services

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Project / Program Management Support Services was posted on July 1, 2008. Two addendums were posted on July 14, 2008. Addendum 1 extended the deadline for submissions from July 17, 2008 until July 24, 2008. Addendum 2 included responses to several questions related to the RFQ. A total of 12 proposals were received on July 24, 2008.

• A Brown Construction Group - Summerfield, NC (MBE)
• Arcadis G&M of North Carolina, Inc. - Greensboro, NC
• Bovis Lend Lease - Charlotte, NC
• Bree and Associates - Durham, NC (MBE)

• HiCaps - Greensboro, NC
• Hunter Roberts - Charlotte, NC
• Parsons - Charlotte, NC
• Samet Corp./Barton Malow - Greensboro, NC

Based on a careful review of the qualifications for each of the firms, staff recommends moving forward with contract negotiations with Arcadis G&M of North Carolina, Inc. to provide Project / Program Management Support Services for 2008 Bond Projects. The cost of these services is included within the budget for each 2008 bond project.
