Background
The Clay County Board of County Commissioners is seeking Statements of Qualifications from qualified Contractors to provide Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) services for a Substance Use Disorder Recovery Center.

The project is supported by Florida's General Appropriations Act, Line Item 378A for Fiscal Year 2023-024, and must comply with all applicable federal laws and regulations.

Specific preconstruction services include interfacing with the Architect during design phases, quality assurance of the design, constructability reviews, code compliance reviews, project cost estimating and value engineering, coordinating competitive bidding for subcontractors, and presenting the GMP to the County. During construction phase services, the CMAR will act as the general contractor responsible for overall project management and compliance with safety programs.
