Rogers council names Terra Construction as construction manager for city hall civic campus
Summary
After reviewing proposals from Terra Construction and RJM, staff recommended Terra based on technical ranking and the proposed project team; council approved an AIA A133-2019 agreement to begin preconstruction services leading to bidding.
Staff summarized the competitive selection process for a construction manager at risk for the city hall civic campus (project 2202), reporting that two firms submitted proposals and that Terra Construction ranked higher on technical merits and project-team credentials. Staff noted both firms proposed similar schedules (August 2027 occupancy cited) and that preconstruction fees differ ($20,000 for Terra, $25,000 for RJM).
The city’s selection team rated firms on technical aspects, credentials, responsiveness to the RFP and similar project experience. Council members discussed the preconstruction scope and checkpoints during design; staff said the selection brings the construction manager onboard to assist with value engineering and constructibility ahead of going to bid but does not commit the city to a construction contract until bids are returned.
The council approved the AIA A133-2019 agreement to hire Terra Construction for preconstruction services. Staff will return with updates and cost estimates as the design nears the 95% milestone.
Why it matters: The selected construction manager will influence project constructibility, cost estimates and schedule during preconstruction, a critical phase before bidding and contract award.
What’s next: Terra will begin preconstruction activities and produce cost estimates; the council will be briefed before the project proceeds to public bidding.
