Classic Center Arena Construction

*As of May 04, 2022, project is under construction. A groundbreaking took place on April 28, 2022. All subcontracts have been solicited and awarded. The Classic Center Authority ("CCA"), an Authority of the State of Georgia, in cooperation with the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County (ACC), is soliciting statements of qualifications from Construction Management / General Contractor (CM) firms interested in providing Construction Manager At-Risk services for the construction of a public arena to be constructed in downtown Athens, Georgia, known as CCA. The Project is one of a set of capital improvement projects included in a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) which was approved by voters on November 5, 2019. The link to the SPLOST site for this project is as follows: SPLOST-2020-Final-Projects-and-Project-Statements . This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeks to identify potential providers of the above-mentioned services. Some firms that respond to this RFQ, and who are determined by the CCA to be sufficiently qualified, may be deemed especially qualified and capable of delivering comprehensive construction services for the envisioned project, deemed eligible for further consideration by the CCA to provide these services as the Construction Manager At-Risk "CM", and may be invited to interview and propose for these services as finalists. Deadline for submission of Statements of Qualifications 3/8/21 2:00 PM, It is the responsibility of each respondent to examine the entire RFQ and RFP, to seek clarification in writing, and review its submittal for accuracy before submitting the document. Once the submission deadline has passed, all submissions will be final. The CCA reserves the right to ask for clarifications from all parties who have submitted qualifications. Questions about any aspect of the RFQ, RFP, or the project, shall be submitted in writing (e-mail is preferable) to the Project Procurement Director, Richard Sawyer e-mail: richard@classiccenter.com. All respondents to this RFQ are subject to instructions communicated in this document and are cautioned to completely review the entire RFQ and follow instructions carefully. CCA retains the right to reject any or all statements of qualifications or subsequent submittals and/or proposals, and to waive technicalities, irregularities, and informalities, and retains the right to cancel or conclude this procurement at any time without selecting a firm to provide the described services, without any liability to any respondents, or any other person or entity, and is under no obligation to make an award relating to this RFQ/RFP to any person or entity. The delivery method for this Project will be construction manager at-risk (CM), and, at a minimum, will employ the services of a Design Professional and a Commissioning Agent, in addition to the services of a CM. The preliminary Stated Cost Limitation (SCL) or construction cost of the Project is approximately $56,000,000. The final SCL may be revised by the CCA due to final programmatic requirements, funding availability or other circumstances. Parking facility construction services will be included, and cost may be in addition to the above figure to an extent, to be determined. The selected CM will immediately commence preconstruction services upon execution of a Construction Manager At-Risk Services Contract. The Design Professional's services are anticipated to commence sooner, by February 2021, with construction documents anticipated for completion in Fall 2021. The start of construction is contingent on the completion of design and availability/flow of the funding, but the construction duration is expected to be no more than 20-22 months with substantial completion planned by August 1, 2023. (All of the dates above are estimates which are subject to change.) Failure to attend a mandatory site visit will automatically result in disqualification from the selection process.
