Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Construction of Equipment Concentration Site, Fort Carson, Colorado

• Document version changed from Amendment_0002 (dated 16 OCT 2026, marked CUI//SP-PROCURE with a controlling office, CUI category, and FED ONLY dissemination limit) to Amendment_0003 (a plain "Draft OT Articles" file with no version date or CUI markings).
• Restrictive markings were removed: the CUI header, controlled-by office, CUI category, limited dissemination control, and point-of-contact line no longer appear, so applicants may now see the articles without the FED ONLY restriction noted in the earlier draft.
• Instructions page dropped: the earlier "Instructions" preamble describing the template as a collaboration of Engineering, Construction, Contracting, and Counsel recommendations is gone.
• Table of contents largely unchanged: the same 33 standard articles and four optional articles remain, with the Article 13 and 19 headings and the attachment list (Scope of Services, Milestone and Payment Schedule) still present.
• Body text appears substantively the same: the Article 1 definitions (including the OTA authority under 10 U.S.C. 2808a, the GMP definition, and the milestone-based construction payment language) match the prior version in the portion shown. Applicants should still read the full Articles 2 through 33 for any substantive edits, since the visible text does not reveal them.

• The attached document changed from a pre-construction Scope of Services (CMAR pre-construction phase for the Equipment Concentration Site at Fort Carson, with design-review milestones, constructability reports within 15 days of each design package, and BIM/cost-estimate submittals) to a draft Other Transaction Agreement article template for a Construction Manager at Risk agreement under 10 U.S.C. 2808a.
• The new text covers agreement terms: definitions, term and notice to proceed, termination, changes, payment, bonding, disputes, data rights, security and CUI safeguarding, Buy American Act and small business subcontracting requirements, liquidated damages, and a Guaranteed Maximum Price concept for the construction phase.
• The document states it is not a FAR-governed contract, grant, or cooperative agreement, and it marks several design articles as not applicable.

Why it matters for applicants: the solicitation now points to a binding OTA-style agreement covering both pre-construction and construction, not just the earlier technical scope. Applicants should price the GMP risk and bonding obligations, review the CUI and cyber requirements, and confirm Buy American and small business subcontracting compliance before bidding.

The description attachment was swapped from the original Projnet/PIEE submission instructions (Attachment 1) to a revised Pre-Construction Scope of Services (Attachment 5, Amendment 0001) for the Equipment Concentration Site at Fort Carson, CO.

Substantive scope differences applicants should note:

• Project scope now defined: An ECS complex including an AMSA shop, General Purpose Warehouse, Organizational Storage Building, military equipment parking, concrete aprons, a vehicle wash rack, bi-level loading ramps, fencing, site work, and utility connections.
• Role split clarified: Jacobs Government Services is the designer of record, while the awardee (CMAR) provides constructability, cost, operability, and value-engineering input during design and is also expected to perform construction.
• Design review requirements added: The CMAR must participate in kickoff, interim, final, plan-in-hand, corrected final, and certified final design reviews.
• Constructability reports required: Interim and final reports are due within 15 calendar days of receiving each design package, covering sequencing, trade interfaces, site logistics, long-lead procurement, Buy American Act material review, and risk registers.
• Why it matters: Proposals must show capacity for early constructability and procurement work with tight turnaround, and must address BAA sourcing risk.

Note: the original instructions on proposal submission via PIEE and the October 2026 inquiry cutoff are no longer in this description field.
