2023 Elections Building Construction Project — Construction Manager and General Contractor (RFQ)

The Canyon County Board of Commissioners is seeking a qualified Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) to deliver a new 16,500‑sq‑ft Elections Building in Caldwell, Idaho. The CM/GC will act as construction‑manager‑at‑risk, handling pre‑construction planning, coordination with a future design team, permitting, subcontractor management, and on‑site construction, with a preference for a cost‑plus‑fee arrangement and potential incentives for cost savings. The project includes specialized election‑related spaces (storage with large overhead doors, secure vaults, early‑voting area, training rooms) plus standard office and restroom facilities, as well as site work such as paved parking, circulation, and landscaping. Funding may come from federal ARPA/SLFRF sources, imposing additional compliance requirements (Davis‑Bacon, equal‑employment, environmental clauses). The anticipated schedule is construction start in Fall 2023 with completion by Summer 2024, and the budget is initially estimated at $4 million. The RFQ process closed July 20 2023, with a ranking of proposers released August 3 2023 and a notice of intent to award slated for August 15 2023. • CM/GC serves as single point of responsibility (design coordination, permits, subcontractor oversight). • Project budget roughly $4 M; funding may be federal ARPA. • Specialized election‑facility spaces requiring secure vaults and large overhead doors. • Construction‑manager‑at‑risk with cost‑plus‑fee preference and potential cost‑saving incentives.
