COLLEGE OF BUSINESS FACILITY
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA ST. PETERSBURG
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER SELECTION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The proposed project is a multi-functional elevated facility which will include parking underneath on the ground
level, classrooms, teaching labs, study areas, offices, auditorium/exhibition spaces, instructional media space,
student academic support space and support services space. Technology enhanced classrooms and lecture
auditoria will facilitate the instructional needs for the entire College of Business (COB) curriculum and will be
constructed using flexible space configurations to meet diverse programmatic requirements. This facility will
accommodate our COB currently located in four buildings on the USFSP Campus. This facility is anticipated to be
a structure of about 70,000 G.S.F. with a minimum LEED Certification of Silver. The construction costs are
expected to be about $20,000,000.
The contract for Construction Management services shall consist of a preconstruction phase and a construction
phase. The preconstruction services phase, for which the Construction Manager will be paid a fixed fee, will
include value engineering, construction analyses, development of cost models, estimating, and the development
of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) at 75% Construction Document phase. Failure to negotiate an
acceptable fixed fee for the contract or to arrive at an acceptable GMP within the time provided in the agreement
may result in the termination of the Construction Managers contract.
SELECTION CRITERIA:
The Selection Committee for this project will evaluate the applications according to the law and the Policies and
Procedures of the University of South Florida. Selection of finalists for interviews will be made on the basis of
Construction Manager qualifications including applicant’s experience (particularly with College of Business
facilities), applicant’s personnel, applicant’s ability to provide service, record-keeping/administrative ability,
recording of as-built conditions, critical path scheduling expertise, conceptual cost estimating and cost control

strategic plan, USFSP made a commitment to foster a diverse community distinguished by a shared purpose,
collaboration, open and timely communication, mutual respect, trust, and inclusiveness. USFSP is an equal
opportunity institution, and, as such, strongly encourages the lawful use of certified Minority and Women-owned
Business Enterprises (“MBEs”) in the provision of design and construction-related services by providing a fair and
equal opportunity to compete for, or for participation in, design and/or construction-related services.
