Solicitation Description:              Executive SummaryThe Health and Human Services Commission (“ HHSC” or “ Owner”) is soliciting proposals (“ Proposals”) for the selection of a Construction Manager-at-Risk (“ CMR”) to provide the following services: (i) pre-construction services, such as constructability guidance, cost estimates, site evaluations, and construction schedules;  (ii) upon completion of the design development phase, provide a Guaranteed Maximum Price (“ GMP”) at the election of HHSC; and (iii)  perform complete construction

services consistent with the construction manager-at-risk delivery process described in the attached draft contract between Owner and Construction Manager-at-Risk for Project No. 20-120-RLC, CMR Emergency Power Generator Replacement Richmond State Supported Living Center (the “ Project”). HHSC is soliciting CMR services under Texas Government Code Chapter 2269, Subchapter F, Construction Manager-at-Risk Method.Project Description and Cost of the WorkProject Description: This Project consists of adding a whole campus Emergency Generator. The Generator and Automatic Transfer Switch will be housed in a new metal building located next to the existing Powerhouse. The entire campus would be on Emergency power. Having the campus loop available under emergency power will allow for normal campus operations (including HVAC systems, which are currently served from the campus central plant) during any power outage. The Clinic Building’s generator will remain, providing the campus Emergency Generator to serve as a third level of safety, without having to disturb the Clinic. The campus will become a hurricane “shelter in place” campus. There will be a single power downtime during switchover in lieu of multiple power downtimes across the campus at different times. It will be easier and faster to maintain a single Generator in lieu of the existing 16, and easier and faster to conduct testing on a single Generator in lieu of the existing 16.  As a result, most of the existing generators may gradually be taken out of service by the Facility maintenance staff (leaving the Clinic Generator system untouched), when it is most convenient. Locating the generator set and attendant transformer and transfer switch equipment inside of the new building will increase its longevity and ease maintenance.  This Project will include Architectural, HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing work.In lieu of a personal site visit, Respondent must carefully review Exhibit I1, Preliminary Project Information and Exhibit I2, Project Site Conditions Photobook as visual aids to assist in determining the costs for the Project.PART ONE:  Collaborate with HHSC and its architects and engineers (A/E), Garner Fritsche Engineering, Inc., during the drafting and completion of the Construction Documents. The Respondent’s expertise will be used to affect value engineering, establish a project schedule, and ultimately determine the Guaranteed Maximum Price. The services include, but are not limited to, attendance at meetings, and consultation regarding plan reviews, constructability reviews, and cost estimating.PART TWO:  In accordance with the approved schedule and GMP, Contractor shall facilitate bidding and selection of subcontractors in compliance with HUB requirements, and provide and/or secure and install all materials, labor, coordination, management and supervisory activities necessary to complete construction of the Project in accordance with the drawings, specifications and other contract documents that will be prepared by the A/E and HHSC.COST OF WORK: Respondents should consider the Cost of Work” to be $1,876,600.  The Cost of Work does not include any Pre-construction Management fees, Construction Management fees, and Construction General Conditions, as part of the construction budget or the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).Mandatory Pre-Proposal WebinarsPre-proposal Webinars will be held at the dates and times described below.  Attendance at one (1) Pre-Proposal Webinar is mandatory.Pre-Proposal Webinars: Pre-Proposal Webinar #1: Monday, 11/16/2020 at 10:00 A.M.
