title
Request for approval to utilize a CMAR (Construction Manager-at-Risk) delivery method for the New HCSO Active Shooter Training Facility and the Purchasing Agent be authorized to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and administer the selection of the Construction Manager based on reputation and quality. Once selected, the CMAR would assist the Architect of Record with constructability, value engineering, and cost estimates, and all phases of work under the CMAR will be publicly bid and the bidding process will be overseen by the Purchasing Agent and their office, UPIN 24035MF36U01, Precinct 3.

Background and Discussion: On Dec. 10th, 2024 Commissioners Court approved authorization to initiate the design and construction of the Active shooter Facility. Currently the agency is sending our entire Patrol Bureau through Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response (ALERRT) training. This training is being conducted offsite. Active Shooter training consists of reality-based training (scenarios).
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is committed to further educating our personnel to better serve the citizens of Harris County.
Expected Impact: Advertisement of the CMAR will allow the County to have a General Contractor under contract to work with the County during the design phases to help manage the budget, schedule, and to help procure long-lead items that will be needed for the new Active Shooter facility to meet the demands of the future.
Alternative Options: The alternative would be to not use a CMAR that would aid the county with long-lead items, constructability reviews, value engineering and cost estimating services. This would likely lengthen the completion schedule.
