SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Appointment of Construction Managers for
Caminiti Exceptional Center and Chiaramonte Elementary School Renovation and Hill Middle School HVAC Renovation

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

These projects provide for renovation of Caminiti Exceptional Center and Chiaramonte Elementary School and renovation of the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system at Hill Middle School. Appointment of qualified construction management firms for the referenced projects is required.

Florida Statutes and School Board policy outline the process and requirements for selection of architects, engineers, and construction managers. Attachment A summarizes the process. The process provides for the identification of the most highly qualified firms by a Professional Services Selection Committee that includes representatives from several District divisions and the community. Attachment C identifies the specific committee members participating in this selection and the organization represented by each.

A total of twenty-three firms responded to the solicitation for construction management of the renovations at Caminiti Exceptional Center, Chiaramonte Elementary School, and Hill Middle School. The solicitation is included on Attachment B. Attachments D and E record the results of the Committee's evaluation of these firms at each phase of the process.

Staff has successfully concluded negotiations with the firms deemed most highly qualified by the Selection Committee to provide the required services. Based on the Selection Committee ranking and successful negotiations, staff recommends appointment of the firms and award of the corresponding fees as indicated.
