The City of Bismarck is seeking proposals from qualified Construction Management firms to provide construction management at-risk services for the construction of a New Police Headquarters for the Bismarck Police Department. The project involves the construction of a new police headquarters on a 9.8-acre site. The selected Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) will be expected to collaborate with the City of Bismarck and the project architect to manage the overall project schedule. The preconstruction phases are scheduled for completion by February 2027, and construction is anticipated to commence in the second quarter of 2027, with anticipated completion within 18 to 24 months. The total project cost is proposed to not exceed $100 million. Key services required from the CMAR include developing detailed cost estimates, tracking cost estimates against owner budgets, providing constructability recommendations, attending and participating in design team meetings, and providing a construction schedule. The CMAR will also be responsible for procuring services from subcontractors through a public advertisement and competitive bid selection process.
