The City of Meriden is soliciting a Construction Manager‑at‑Risk (CM‑AR) to deliver the new Casimir Pulaski School on the former Meriden Wallingford Hospital site. The CM‑AR will oversee all phases—from early hazardous‑material abatement and demolition through design‑build, commissioning, occupancy, and warranty—providing constructability reviews, cost estimating, bid packaging, permitting, construction supervision, schedule and cost control, and post‑occupancy support. The project is budgeted at a $101 million target GMP and must be completed with full student occupancy by early 2030, operating under a Project Labor Agreement. A mandatory pre‑proposal meeting is scheduled for 29 Oct 2026; questions are due 12 Nov 2026, and proposals must be submitted electronically by 19 Nov 2026. The City requires the CM‑AR to supply performance and payment bonds equal to 100 % of the GMP, maintain MWBE participation, and adhere to Connecticut DAS‑OGA and HPBS sustainability standards. • Scope includes abatement/demolition, new construction, FF&E, technology integration, and warranty management. • Required experience: ≥2 CM‑AR projects in past 5 years, at least one ≥$50 M, and one Connecticut public‑school project ≥$40 M. • Deliverables: detailed schedules (Primavera CPM), uniformat cost estimates at key design milestones, bid packages, change‑order processing, and comprehensive reporting. • Contract will be a purchase order with a standard professional services agreement.
