UNLV CMAR services for the December 6 Memorial Healing Garden

UNLV is seeking a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) to deliver a permanent campus memorial garden through preconstruction and construction services. - Government buyer: Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), on behalf of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Offices referenced include UNLV Purchasing and Contracts, Planning & Construction and Real Estate, and NSHE Business Center South. Grace Scheidt is identified as a purchasing analyst. - Project and estimated value: December 6 Memorial Healing Garden, a campus memorial and landscaped site improvement project with an estimated cost of approximately $2.2 million. - Requested services: One CMAR engagement covering preconstruction and construction. Preconstruction includes design and constructability reviews, estimating, scheduling, value analysis, site logistics and phasing, long-lead item checks, procurement planning, risk review, and development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Construction includes project management, subcontractor coordination, procurement, site work, quality and safety management, testing and inspections, punch-list work, and closeout. - Conceptual project elements: Four memorial zones arranged around a central elm tree, a meandering pedestrian path, seating, landscaping and specimen trees, memorial markers and signage, lighting, and related site improvements. Concept materials include concrete, decomposed granite, local rock, stainless steel, wood, and copper-colored steel. No product part numbers or quantities are specified. - Named design collaborators: Gensler Las Vegas and the LAGE design team are referenced in conceptual-design materials; they are not identified as proposers or awarded vendors. No product OEMs are identified. - Notable requirements: The CMAR must develop a GMP and coordinate cost and schedule through design. Nevada public-works qualification for the applicable project cost category, prevailing-wage and apprenticeship requirements, insurance and bonding, safety planning, and warranty obligations apply. The proposal and GMP should account for applicable premium costs if weekend or legal-holiday work is planned; commissioning, if required, is expected to be limited. - Schedule: Preconstruction is planned before construction, with completion targeted ahead of a remembrance event. The documents contain an apparent inconsistency in the anticipated construction start relative to the preconstruction schedule; the CMAR will need to coordinate the final schedule with UNLV. - Contract value context: The stated approximate project cost is $2.2 million; the final GMP is to be developed through the CMAR process.
