CM@Risk - Steele Early College High School Renovations & Addition, Step 1

The Northwest Independent School District (NISD) is seeking qualified firms to serve as Construction Manager‑at‑Risk (CM‑GC) for the renovation and addition of Steele Early College High School. This RFQ initiates a two‑step qualification process that will lead to a subsequent Request for Proposals for the construction phase. The selected CM‑GC will be responsible for comprehensive project management, including buy‑out, subcontractor coordination, cost control, open‑book accounting, and compliance with strict audit and documentation requirements. The scope includes interior and exterior renovations, addition of new instructional space, and integration of required safety, insurance, and bonding provisions. Firms must demonstrate financial capacity, bonding ability, relevant experience, and the ability to manage self‑performance versus subcontracted work without duplicate billing. • Project: Steele Early College High School Renovations & Addition (Texas) • Procurement method: Two‑step RFQ → RFP for CM‑GC services • Key responsibilities: buy‑out, subcontract management, cost‑plus fee administration, SDI premium handling, open‑book audits, compliance with District’s insurance and safety standards • Mandatory documentation: detailed cost backup for change orders, subcontract agreements, monthly buy‑out logs, SDI premium disclosures, self‑performance controls • Deadline to submit qualifications: 09/03/2026 (CT) • Questions due: 08/24/2026 (CT) • Contact: Denise Ferrell, (817) 215‑0047, [email protected]
