Notice of Commencement of Negotiations for Construction Manager At-Risk Services
Notice is hereby given for the seeking of interest and qualifications for Construction Management At-Risk (CMAR) services for the Strong Complex Remodeling Project, Kansas State University (KSU), Manhattan, Kansas. The total project budget is $32,000,000 with a construction budget of $24,000,000.
The Strong Complex Community, comprised of Boyd, Van Zile and Putnam buildings, are a strong anchor for residential life at KSU, and are the oldest residence halls on campus. These buildings were designed in gothic style and are located on the east end of campus, south of the Derby Complex. The goal of this project is to reimagine the use of these buildings to create a distinctive learning/living community that will serve as a home to the honors program, and foster leadership, engagement, and service activities, where high-achieving students are inspired to thrive academically and personally. This reimagined complex will include office spaces, conference rooms, seminar rooms, a dining hall, and residential halls with lounge spaces.
The construction manager at-risk will provide for each phase cost estimating, scheduling, constructability reviews, and value engineering studies; procure equipment, prequalify subcontractors, and take bids; review bids with the design team and owner to determine bids to accept; prepare cost estimate(s) for the un-bid portion(s); provide a guaranteed maximum price and a bond; and manage construction and track all costs for the design team and owner’s review.
