Construction Management At-Risk Services

Lexington County School District One awarded three Construction Management‑At‑Risk (CM‑AR) contracts to provide full‑service pre‑construction and construction management for a portfolio of K‑12 school capital projects totaling roughly $15 million. The contracts are structured as Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) agreements, requiring the firms to assume construction risk while delivering projects on schedule and within budget. The district will manage the work through multiple guaranteed‑maximum‑price contracts, each covering a subset of projects based on value, scope, and location. • Total estimated project value: $15,072,000 across ~50 individual school improvement projects (locker‑room renovations, HVAC upgrades, synthetic turf, window replacements, lighting, parking, etc.). • Three awardees: Hood Construction Company, H.G. Reynolds Company, Inc., and Thompson Turner Construction. • Procurement was an open, competitive solicitation (P2025.1) with a hard‑copy submission deadline of Nov 6 2024 3:00 PM ET; intent‑to‑award posted Jan 8 2025 and award ceremony Jan 24 2025. • Scope includes pre‑construction services (design‑team participation, cost estimating, schedule development, value engineering) and construction‑phase services (on‑site management, quality control, change‑order processing, monthly reporting, permitting, safety). • Vendor qualifications focus on financial capacity, local experience with SC K‑12 projects > $5 M, management approach, workload, and minority‑business participation.
