Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) - Fountain Valley Library Remodel

The County of Orange is seeking a qualified construction manager‑at‑risk (CMAR) to lead the complete remodel of the Fountain Valley Library.

The CMAR must hold a California Class B General Building Contractor license, have completed at least three similar CMAR projects, and be able to assume risk for cost overruns under the GMP.

Key dates include a mandatory pre‑bid meeting/site visit on 6 Oct 2026, question deadline 16 Oct 2026, and final proposal submission by 27 Oct 2026. Evaluation will be based on qualifications, past performance, and cost. • Mandatory pre‑bid meeting & site visit (Oct 6, 2026) at the library site. • Questions due by Oct 16, 2026 2:00 pm; proposals due Oct 27, 2026 2:00 pm (electronic only). • Requires California Class B contractor license and at least three comparable CMAR projects. • Scope covers design‑assist, constructability review, cost estimating, scheduling, procurement, construction management, safety, and compliance with CEQA/permits. • Contract awarded via best‑value selection; negotiations will finalize GMP and terms. • Primary contact: Deputy Procurement Agent David Ro.
