Project Scope / Description

Also reference presentation document in Attachment “A”.

The KSU Office Park offers a prime location for corporate partners with a desire to tap into the

opportunities available on the Manhattan campus of Kansas State University. Positioned in close

proximity to existing cutting-edge research facilities and the National Bio and Agro Defense Facility,

corporate partners will have the chance to build professional relationships as well as leverage the

strengths of KSU in the areas of student talent and technical innovation. The KSU Office Park is

projected to be completed in four phases.

The Phase I building, completed Fall 2015, is currently home to the Kansas State University Foundation

(KSUF) and at least six corporate university partners. It is a three-story, 60,000 sf building clad in

Kansas limestone and glass, designed by Hoefer, Wysocki Architecture – Leawood, KS. It is the basis of

design that subsequent buildings will be modeled on. Phase I also focused on site development and

the initial utility construction for further development within the park.

This Request for Proposal is to evaluate and invite firms in consideration for Construction Manager at

Risk Services for construction of Kansas State University Office Park – Phase II in Manhattan, Kansas.

The project expands the office park development and construction of the second building, also planned

as a three-story, 60,000 sf building, and located to the west of the Phase I building with a south

exposure to Kimball Avenue. Design of this building is also by Hoefer Wysocki Architecture. This

project is planned to utilize the same exterior finishes as the first, preserving a uniform and

complimentary appearance both in the office park and when viewed from afar. Balconies, with views

of Bill Snyder Family Stadium are planned for the second and third floor tenant spaces. Sidewalks are

planned to connect this building to the first through areas landscaped with native plantings.

Contractor selection is for both Pre-Construction and full project delivery of Construction Management

at Risk Services, pending approval to move into the construction phase by the KSUF Board of Directors.

Quality of specified building materials upon completion of construction documentation is expected to

be consistent with new buildings of this type and of the Kansas State University Office Park. Targeted

GMP is expected to be near $12 million for purposes of Fee and General Conditions Proposal from

prospective CM at Risk firms.

At all times during construction, the KSU Office Park shall remain open to normal business. This will

necessitate the mitigation of construction traffic, noise, windborne dust particulates and other

potentially disruptive construction activities. Successful firms will demonstrate the utmost

understanding and sensitivity to anticipate and exceed our needs and desires, as well as those of our

neighbors, in continuing to maintain a professional business environment.

The KSU Foundation (Owner) is constructing the Project. The Owner will construct the Project under

the guidance and direct supervision of its Designated Representative, the KSUF Director of

Construction.

Cost of Work General Condition, as suggested in the matrix, is to be performed by a subcontractor,

then note as such and provide a value to be allocated to that subcontract, either by scope or by

allowance. The intent of this section is to identify all potential General Conditions both performed

by the GC and/or allocated as a direct subcontract cost in a clear straightforward manner for all

submitting CM’s. If a listed General Condition line item is not intended to be provided as any type

of reimbursable cost then note as such.

proposes for this phase?


b. Construction:

i. What is the maximum amount of construction contingency your organization

proposes for this phase?

ii. How do you propose to document changes to project contingency within the GMP

during construction?

iii. When is an expense proposed as a Contingency Fund Allocation Request to draw on

project contingency and when is it proposed as a Change Order Request to the

GMP?

iv. How are buy-out funds to be allocated to the contractors, owners, or a general

construction contingency fund to be used by both the contractor and the owner?

v. What is your organization’s concept for the disposition of contingency funds after

the completion of the project?

Section 7 – Personnel

Given the scope and schedule of the project, identify the specific Project Manager, Estimator, Field

Engineer and Superintendent(s) who would work on the project. Also, list any additional staff you may

require for a project of this magnitude (i.e. safety officer, assistant superintendent, etc.). Provide a

resume and references for each individual.

Section 8 – Owner / Construction Manager Agreement

The KSU Foundation proposes utilizing the AIA Document A133-2009 Edition “Standard Form of

Agreement Between Owner and Construction Manager as Constructor” where the basis for payment is

the COST OF THE WORK PLUS A FEE with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (as modified by the KSU

Foundation). In conjunction with the AIA Document A201-2007 Edition General Conditions of the

Contract for Construction (as modified by the KSU Foundation). Please note any major exceptions or

issues you would raise relative to these documents. The Kansas State University Foundation will

provide the DRAFT copy of these documents for this project as a Bid Addendum that will be issued at

the Mandatory Pre-Bid Conference.

Section 9 – References

For six (6) of the projects listed above (re: Section 4 / Item 5) identify a representative of the owner

and a representative of the architect (provide name, phone/fax numbers) whom we could contact as

references regarding your organization’s services. Ideally, some of the references should be for a

construction project of comparable scope.
