PROJECT APPROACH The Project Team will consist of the School District's representative, the Project Engineer and any other consultants of the School District, and the construction team of the CM, and the CM's subcontractors, all working together in a cooperative "partnering" manner. The CM will begin by performing pre-construction services with the Project Team. Services will include conceptual and detailed budgeting and estimating, constructability reviews, evaluation of alternative materials and equipment and systems for performance of the work. The CM will work with the School District to finalize the scheduling of the work. As design proceeds, the CM will also conduct a review of the plans and specifications for completeness and cost effectiveness of the details and materials shown for the work. Input from this review, with suggestions for improvement, will be provided to the School District and the Project Engineer. On completion of the plans and specifications, or at an earlier date if mutually agreed upon, the CM will develop the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the Project. Provided that the GMP is equal to or less than the School District's approved budget, the contract amount (GMP) will be established and construction may proceed. The contract will be for the cost of the work plus a fee, with a guaranteed maximum amount. The contract will provide that all Construction Manager estimates, cost analyses, schedules, phasing plans and post-proposal pre-construction documents, and subcontractor and material supplier quotations will be available to the School District and other members of the Project Team as the School District or School District's Representative may direct. If the initial proposed GMP is greater than the School District's budget, the GMP will not be finalized until it is equal to or less than the School District's budget or adjusted budget. During the post-proposal pre-construction period, the CM will cooperate with the Project Team in determining the areas where costs are greater than the School District's budget. The CM will work with the Project Team in developing suggestions for changes to materials, building systems and/or scope needed to bring the estimates into compliance with the School District's budget. Proposers should show in their response their unique capabilities and experience that bring value to the process.
