The Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD) established a three‑year Master Construction Management Agreement (with up to two one‑year renewals) and subsequently approved a pool of four pre‑qualified construction‑management firms to provide CM services on a project‑by‑project basis for K‑12 school facilities throughout a five‑year service period (2025‑2030). The agreement defines three delivery methods (Design‑Build, Lease‑Leaseback, Design‑Bid‑Build) and requires the use of Trimble Unity Construct for daily reporting, RFIs, submittals, and change‑order control. Compensation is based on hourly rates (fixed for the term) and a fee percentage of the final construction cost (3 %‑4 %) with an overall fee cap of 20 % of construction cost unless the Board approves a higher amount. The District encourages participation from Small Business and Disabled‑Veteran‑Business‑Enterprise firms and intends to award at least one contract to a qualified SB/DVBE.
• Provides full‑cycle construction‑management (design, bid‑award, construction, post‑construction) for K‑12 projects across Sacramento County.
• Uses a master‑agreement/IDIQ pool model; individual Service Orders are issued per project with hourly‑rate invoicing and a percentage‑of‑cost fee.
• Requires > 50 % of the firms’ referenced projects to be Sacramento‑County K‑12 work; all services must be performed under the direction of licensed architects/engineers/contractors.
