Renovation of a water / sewer project in Bedford Heights, Ohio. Working plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

The scope of work is to include CM services, to complete the construction of the Phase 1 Improvements. The CM is to anticipate that this is to be an "open-book" contract, the City of Bedford Heights, all design professionals, and the Owner's Representatives are to have access to the full budget, including the CM and subcontractors' costs. Pre-Construction scope will involve working cooperatively with the design professionals to provide, among other services, cost estimating, scheduling, budgeting, value engineering, drawing review for budget and constructability and pre-construction planning throughout the pre-construction phase. Construction Manager shall deliver detailed cost estimates when the documents are 50% complete, 90% complete, and when the construction documents are presented for final review, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties and defined in the scope of work provided with the RFP. When the construction documents prepared by the design team are at a stage of completion specified in the CM Agreement, such partially completed documents ("GMP Documents") shall be provided to the CM, together with a draft of the design team's detailed listing of any material incomplete design elements and a statement of intended scope with respect to such incomplete elements ("Prose Statement"). The CM shall then submit to the Owner and the design team its proposed guaranteed maximum price ("GMP") and guaranteed completion date ("GCD"). The CM, Owner and design team shall meet to reconcile any questions, discrepancies or disagreements relating to the GMP qualifications and assumptions, the GMP Documents or the Prose Statement. The reconciliation shall be documented by an addendum to the GMP qualifications and assumptions and shall be approved in writing by the Owner, the Design Team, and the CM. CM shall then submit to Owner, for Owner's approval, the proposed final GMP and GCD based upon the GMP Documents, the approved GMP qualifications and assumptions, and the Prose Statement. Contingent upon the Owner's approval of the final GMP and GCD, the parties will enter into a GMP Amendment to the CM Agreement. The final negotiated GMP will not exceed the Project budget for construction and the GCD will be mutually agreed upon. If the proposed GMP exceeds the Project budget or the Owner and CM cannot agree upon a GCD, then Owner may terminate the CM Agreement and seek bids for
