Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education (“the Board”) approve the award of RFQu No. 26-752-005 for Construction Management At-Risk Services (“CM@Risk”) for the Dunwoody High School Stadium Improvements Project to SmithBuilt Construction for a not-to exceed amount of $5,000 for pre-construction services.

Pre-construction services will only move forward after receipt of a $5,000 donation for pre-construction services from The Dunwoody High School Community Association, Inc., subject to approval by the Interim Superintendent, in accordance with Board Policy DFK.
Why: Approval of this award will allow the Construction Manager to develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for construction of the project. After development and approval of the GMP by the DeKalb County Board of Education and the Dunwoody High School Community Association, Inc. the parties will enter into a final binding agreement as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding of August 11, 2025.

The project will provide a safe and healthy learning environment for students and staff.
Details: As Project Sponsor, The Dunwoody High School Community Association, Inc. will provide funding for design and construction of the project. The DeKalb County Board of Education will provide project management and testing and inspection services for quality assurance. After execution of the agreement and receipt of full funding from The Dunwoody High School Community Association, Inc. to the DeKalb County School District, a separate Board Action Item will be presented to authorize the Construction Manager At-Risk to proceed with construction.

Specific details related to the scope of work for this Request for Qualifications can be found on the District’s solicitation website at http://www.dekalbschoolsga.org/solicitations/.

The scope of the additions includes the following:

Addition of bleachers, press box, public address system, and audio/visual equipment

The project architect is Bianchi Architecture and Interior Design, under contract directly with The Dunwoody High School Community Association, Inc. The design drawings and permitting process are in the final stages. The DCSD Evaluation committee has completed the procurement process and recommends SmithBuilt Construction Group as the Construction Manager at Risk.

The SmithBuilt Construction Company will be responsible for the Construction Management At-Risk services as set forth in the proposal documents. The DeKalb County School District’s Standard Form of Construction Management Contract will be used. The award of this contract will allow for the commencement of the pre-construction phase of the construction management services for this project.

The SmithBuilt Construction Company is located at 2300 Lakeview Pkwy Ste 200, Alpharetta, GA 30009.
Financial impact: The District will accept the donation of $5,000 from the Dunwoody Community Association, LLC. to fund the Dunwoody High School Stadium Improvement project.
