The proposed project consists of a new Transitional Center in Warner Robins, Georgia. The facility is intended to establish a new standard for future GDC Transitional Centers by integrating secure residential accommodations, effective operational planning, and comprehensive reentry programming within a purpose-built environment.

The preliminary Stated Cost Limitation (SCL) or construction cost of the Project is estimated at **$25,000,000**.

The selected Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) will be expected to provide comprehensive preconstruction and construction services.

The delivery method for this Project will be construction manager at-risk (CM/GC), and, at a minimum, will employ the services of a Design Professional and a Commissioning Agent, in addition to the services of a CM/GC. The CM/GC will serve as both a construction manager and general contractor. The CM/GC will be required to participate in the design process provide design review services which include advising the Owner and Design Professional on constructability and code compliance, making recommendations for selection of materials, making recommendations on phasing of components, and performing detailed cost estimates at each phase of design. During the construction phase, the CM/GC will contract with subcontractors to perform the work and shall serve as the general contractor.

The proposed facility will include residential housing, dayrooms and common areas, classrooms and educational spaces, individual and group counseling rooms, employment preparation and case-management areas, bathrooms and showers, residential type kitchen and dining facilities, laundry facilities, and other support spaces necessary for the operation of the Transitional Center. Administrative offices, staff support areas, intake and orientation spaces, and visitation areas will be incorporated.

The Design Professional's services are anticipated to commence upon contract execution and are expected to last around 11 months. The construction duration is estimated to be 12 months.

CM/GC shall be required to use the Owner's free Project Management Program, E-Builder, for contract administration processes including, but not limited to, Requests for Information, Change Orders, Payment Applications, Notices of Non-Compliance and Incumberance Records.
