Project Overview
The Manatee Schools 2022 Construction Management at Risk Continuing Services pursuit was a qualifications-based selection through the School District of Manatee in Bradenton, Florida. The contract covered CMR services for a range of school facility projects across Manatee County, with individual project values spanning from under $500,000 to $4 million. Selected firms would be recommended for specific projects based on qualifications, with all work required to meet state statutes, State Requirements for Educational Facilities, and District standards. The client engaged PRESWERX to develop proposal materials that communicated the team's qualifications and positioned them for selection.
Client Challenges
The client needed to present a strong qualifications case for a K-12 continuing services contract with a public-sector owner:
Communicating CMR experience across multiple project scales, from smaller facility work to projects approaching $4 million.
Differentiating the team in a qualifications-based selection where credentials and past performance drive the award decision.
Demonstrating alignment with State Requirements for Educational Facilities and the District's compliance standards.
The materials had to be precise enough to satisfy a public-sector evaluator and distinctive enough to stand out in a competitive field.
Scope of Work
PRESWERX developed proposal materials for the Manatee Schools 2022 CMR Continuing Services pursuit. The proposal communicated the team's qualifications for construction management at risk services across a range of K-12 facility projects in Manatee County, addressing the District's requirements for both smaller project work and projects approaching the $4 million threshold. The materials were structured to meet the School District of Manatee's evaluation criteria while presenting the client's team in a way that was organized, clear, and differentiated in a field of competing firms. Each element was crafted to support a qualifications-based selection process.
