Official Proposals Received for New Building Project

Uvalde Memorial Hospital has received and opened requests for proposals (RFP) from the top-five construction manager at risk (CMAR) firms who were selected in a special board meeting held March 3. Firms included Hoar Construction, Kitchell, McCarthy, Robins & Morton, and Skanska.

After their selection in early March, RFPs were due by each firm on Tuesday, March 20 at 2:00 pm and were publicly opened at 4:00 pm that same day in the Wrather Holmgreen Conference Room at the hospital.

Owner’s representative Chris Larson from Next, Inc. opened each RFP and UMH executive assistant, Gabriela Luevano, read each proposal aloud. Hospital CEO, Tom Nordwick, and numerous representatives from the submitting CMAR firms were present. As the next step in the process of identifying a CMAR for the building project, the hospital’s board of directors will interview each of the five firms the first week in April.
