Cashiers Community Park Project

The County of Jackson, NC is seeking a qualified construction‑management‑at‑risk (CMAR) firm to take over the Cashiers Community Park Improvements Project. The selected firm will review existing design documents, identify cost‑saving opportunities, manage design revisions with licensed architects/engineers, develop a realistic construction budget and schedule, and ultimately oversee construction under a negotiated contract (GMP or similar). The effort emphasizes value engineering, fiscal responsibility, and coordination between the County, design professionals, and subcontractors. • Scope includes pre‑construction review, design coordination, cost estimating, budget establishment, GMP preparation, and full construction‑phase management. • Must work with public‑sector procurement rules, handle subcontractor pre‑qualification, public advertising, and maintain safety and quality standards. • Required deliverables: written assessments of existing plans, value‑engineered design alternatives, updated cost estimates, detailed schedule, bid packages, progress reports, and close‑out documentation. • Evaluation based on CMAR experience, team qualifications, estimating/value‑engineering approach, design‑coordination capability, and risk‑management plan. • Submission deadline: November 9, 2026 (5 PM) via email or hard copy; questions due by October 31, 2026.
