DeKalb County School District is seeking a construction manager at risk for the Stoneview Elementary School modernization in Lithonia, Georgia.
- **Buyer:** DeKalb County School District, through the DeKalb County Board of Education; Operations Division, Sam A. Moss Service Center, with Procurement Services also identified.
- **Opportunity:** RFQu 27-752-819, Project 355-423. The requested service is preconstruction planning and construction-phase management and delivery under a guaranteed maximum price (GMP).
- **Project scope:** Modernize the school and add a media center and four classrooms. Work includes fire sprinklers, HVAC, roof and electrical upgrades, kitchen renovation with a walk-in cooler/freezer, security and low-voltage systems, interior finishes, doors and windows, site and parking improvements, drainage, playground and courtyard work, a bus-lane canopy, landscaping, and removal of existing modular-classroom infrastructure. The planned school capacity is 750 students and 48 instructional units.
- **Pricing:** The solicitation states a $30 million construction cost limitation and requires the proposed GMP to remain within it. The separate GMP worksheet lists a total construction works/GMP figure of $4,125,000, so the documents contain materially different amounts that proposers should reconcile. The worksheet also identifies allowances for FFE ($900,000), IT ($900,000), furniture moving/storage ($75,000), hazardous-material abatement/testing ($500,000), outdoor classroom ($150,000), emergency-responder radio coverage ($50,000), terrazzo repair ($50,000), and unforeseen conditions ($1,500,000); sanitary-sewer remediation is listed as a possible allowance with amount undetermined.
- **Named OEMs and product brands:** **Centegix** crisis alert system; **Tensar BX 1100** geogrid; and **Treviara #112** geotextile fabric, or equal. No construction-management firm or other prime vendor is named.
- **Notable requirements:** Protect the academic environment and student and staff safety during work. The proposal includes pricing for 16 alternates and specified unit-price work. A bid bond of at least 5% of the proposed GMP, valid contractor and business licenses, insurance documentation, and a bonding-capacity letter are required.
- **Schedule:** Construction is targeted to begin in early 2027, with substantial completion targeted in mid-2029. Final completion is due within 120 days after substantial completion or receipt of the punch list, whichever is later. The documents do not state a fixed overall performance duration.
