Construction Manager at Risk Pre-Construction Services Contract Summary
This is a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) pre-construction services agreement between the City of Goodyear, Arizona and a selected contractor for Fire Station 189 (Project #30017, Contract #26-0034). The CMAR will provide comprehensive pre-construction design phase services, with the potential to continue into the construction phase at the City's discretion. Key services include preparing a Construction Management Plan, developing and maintaining a Critical Path Method project schedule, conducting design document and constructability reviews, performing alternate systems evaluations, preparing detailed cost estimates, delivering Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposals, and managing subcontractor and supplier selections through competitive bidding or qualifications-based processes. The contract requires the CMAR to participate in monthly project team meetings, coordinate with the design professional and City project manager, and provide periodic cost tracking reports and cash flow projections. The design phase services must be completed in accordance with the most current project schedule, with failure to adhere to schedule requirements constituting grounds for contract termination.
The City estimates the design phase budget at approximately $750,000 for FY2026, with approximately $14.5 million programmed for construction in FY2027, though actual available construction funding will be determined during the design phase. The CMAR's compensation for basic design phase services is structured as a negotiated lump sum amount with additional reimbursable expenses capped at specified limits, including design review services (not to exceed $0), cost estimating services (not to exceed $0), long-lead time procurement evaluation services (not to exceed $0), travel expenses (not to exceed $0), long-distance communication costs (not to exceed $0), and non-overhead printing and courier services (not to exceed $5,000). Payment for services will be made monthly based on percentage of work completed for lump sum fees or work effort expended for not-to-exceed fees, with the City retaining the right to withhold payment equal to any claims against the CMAR. The City reserves the right to terminate the contract without cause upon thirty days' written notice and will make final payment within sixty days of delivery of completed work items. The CMAR must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), professional liability ($1,000,000 per claim/$2,000,000 all claims or 10% of construction budget, whichever is larger), commercial automobile liability ($1,000,000), pollution liability ($1,000,000/$2,000,000 aggregate), and umbrella/excess liability ($5,000,000 per occurrence).

ARTICLE 2 – BASIC DESIGN PHASE SERVICES
2.1 GENERAL
2.1.1 The CMAR, to further the interests of the City, will perform the services required by, and in accordance with this contract, to the Satisfaction of the City’s project manager, exercising the degree of care, skill and judgment a professional construction manager performing similar services in Goodyear, Arizona would exercise at such time, under similar conditions.
The CMAR will, at all times, perform the required services consistent with sound and generally accepted construction management and construction contracting practices. The services provided under this agreement will not alter any real property owned by the City.
2.1.2 Program Evaluation: As a participating member of the project team, the CMAR will provide to the City and Design Professional a written evaluation of the City’s project program and project budget, each in terms of the other, with recommendations as to the appropriateness of each.
2.1.3 P roject Meetings: The CMAR will attend project team meetings which may include, but are not limited to, monthly project management meetings, project workshops, special project meetings, contract documents rolling reviews and partnering sessions.
2.1.4 The CMAR will provide design phase services, described herein, in a proactive manner and consistent with the intent of the most current drawings and specifications. The CMAR will promptly notify the City in writing whenever the CMAR determines that any drawings or specifications are inappropriate for the project and/or cause changes in the scope of work requiring an adjustment in the cost estimate, project schedule, GMP proposal and/or in the contract time for the work, to the extent such are established.
2.1.5 The CMAR, when requested by the City, will attend, make presentations and participate as may be appropriate in public agency and or community meetings, germane to the project. The
CMAR will provide drawings, schedule diagrams, budget charts and other materials describing the project, when their use is required or apropos in any such public agency meetings.
2.2 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLAN
2.2.1 The CMAR will prepare a Construction Management Plan (“CMP”), which will detail but not necessarily be limited to the CMAR's determinations concerning: (a) project milestone dates and the project schedule, including the broad sequencing of the design and construction of the project, (b) investigations, if any, to be undertaken to ascertain subsurface conditions and physical conditions of existing surface and subsurface facilities and underground utilities,
(c) alternate strategies for fast tracking and/or phasing the construction, (d) the number of separate subagreements to be awarded to Subcontractors and Suppliers for the project construction, (e) permitting strategy, (f) safety and training programs, (g) construction quality control, (h) a commissioning program, (i) the cost estimate and basis of the model, and (j) a matrix summarizing each project team member’s responsibilities and roles.
2.2.2 The CMAR will add detail to its previous version of the CMP to keep it current throughout the design phase, so that the CMP is ready for implementation at the start of the construction phase. The update/revisions may take into account (a) revisions in drawings and specifications; (b) the CMAR's examination of the results of any additional investigatory reports of subsurface conditions, drawings of physical conditions of existing surface and subsurface facilities and documents depicting underground utilities placement and physical condition, whether obtained by the City, design professional or the CMAR, (c) unresolved permitting issues, and significant issues, if any, pertaining to the acquisition of land and right of way, (d) the fast-tracking if any of the construction, or other chosen construction delivery methods, (e) a requisite number of separate bidding documents to be advertised, (f) the status of the procurement of long-lead time equipment (if any) and/or materials, and (g) funding issues identified by the City.
2.3 PROJECT SCHEDULE
2.3.1 The fundamental purpose of the “project schedule” is to identify, coordinate and record the tasks and activities to be performed by all the project team members and then for the project team to utilized the deliverable as a basis for managing and monitoring all member’s compliance with the schedule requirements of the project. Each project team member is responsible for its compliance with the project schedule requirements. The CMAR will, however, develop and maintain the “project schedule” on behalf of and to be used by the project team based on input from the other project team members. The project schedule will be consistent with the most revised/updated CMP. The project schedule will use the Critical
Path Method (CPM) technique, unless required otherwise, in writing by the City. The CMAR will use scheduling software to develop the project schedule that is acceptable by the
City. The project schedule shall be presented in graphical and tabular reports as agreed upon by the project team. If project phasing as described below is required, the project schedule will indicated milestone dates for phases once determined. The project schedule’s activities will directly correlate with the Schedule of Values specified herein.
2.3.2 The CMAR will include and integrate in the project schedule the services and activities required of the City, design professional and CMAR including all construction phase activities.
The project schedule will detail activities to the extent required to show (a) the coordination between conceptual design and various design phase documents, (b) separate long-lead procurements, if any, (c) permitting issues, (d) land and right-of-way acquisition, if any, (e) bid packaging strategy and awards to Subcontractors and Suppliers, (f) major stages of construction, (g) start-up and commissioning, and (h) occupancy of the completed work by the City. The project schedule will include by example and not limitation, proposed activity sequences and durations for design, project team, preparation and procession of shop drawings and samples, delivery of materials or equipment requiring long-lead time procurement (if any), milestone dates for various construction phases, total float for all activities, relationships between activities, City’s occupancy requirements showing portions of the project having occupancy priority, and proposed dates for substantial completion and when the work would be ready for final acceptance.
2.3.3 The project schedule will be updated and maintained by the CMAR throughout the design phase such that it will not require major changes at the start of the construction phase to incorporate the CMAR's plan for the performance of the construction phase work. The
CMAR will provide updates and/or revisions to the project schedule for use by the project team, whenever required, but not less often than at the monthly project team meetings.
The CMAR will include with such submittals a narrative describing its analysis of the progress achieved to-date vs. the planned, any concerns regarding delays or potential delays, and any recommendations regarding mitigating actions.
2.3.4 P roject Phasing: If phased construction is deemed appropriate and the City and design professional approve, the CMAR will review the design and make recommendations regarding the phased issuance of construction documents to facilitate phased construction of the work, with the objective of reducing the project schedule and/or cost of the work. The CMAR will take into consideration such factors as natural and practical lines of work severability, sequencing effectiveness, access and availability constraints, total time for completion, construction market conditions, labor and materials availability, and any other factors pertinent to saving time and cost.
2.4 DESIGN DOCUMENT REVIEWS
2.4.1 The CMAR will evaluate periodically the availability of labor, materials/equipment, building systems, cost-sensitive aspects of the design; and other factors that may impact the cost estimate, GMP proposals and/or the project schedule.
2.4.2 The CMAR will identify, in conjunction with the project team, those additional surface and subsurface investigations that are required to provide the necessary information for the
CMAR to construct the project. After completion of design phase services, the CMAR may provide additional investigation to improve the adequacy and completeness of the site condition information and data made available with the construction documents. The CMAR may be responsible for the time and cost required to obtain such additional investigations, except if otherwise provided by specific additional services.
2.4.3 The CMAR will meet with the project team as required to review designs during their development. The CMAR will thoroughly familiarize itself with the evolving documents through the various design phases. The CMAR will proactively advise the project team and make recommendations on factors related to construction costs, and concerns pertaining to the feasibility and practicality of any proposed means and methods, selected materials, equipment and building systems, and labor and material availability. The CMAR will furthermore advise the project team of proposed site improvements, excavation and foundation considerations, as well as, concerns that exist with respect to coordination of the drawings and specifications. The
CMAR will proactively recommend cost effective alternatives throughout the project.
2.4.4 The CMAR will routinely conduct constructability and biddability reviews of the drawings and specifications as necessary to satisfy the needs of the project team. The reviews will attempt to identify all discrepancies and inconsistencies in the construction documents especially those related to clarity, consistency, and coordination of work of Subcontractors and
Suppliers.
2.4.5 Constructability Reviews: The CMAR will evaluate whether (a) the drawings and specifications are configured to enable efficient construction, (b) design elements are standardized, (c) construction efficiency is properly considered in the drawings and specifications, (d) module/preassembly design are prepared to facilitate fabrication, transport and installation, (e) the design promotes accessibility of personnel, material and equipment and facilitates construction under adverse weather conditions, (f) sequences of work required by or inferable from the drawings and specifications are practicable, and (g) the design has taken into consideration, efficiency issues concerning; access and entrance to the site, laydown and storage of materials, staging of site facilities, construction parking, and other similar pertinent issues.
2.4.6 Biddability Reviews: The CMAR will check cross-references and complementary drawings and sections within the specifications, and in general evaluate whether (a) the drawings and specifications are sufficiently clear and detailed to minimize ambiguity and to reduce scope interpretation discrepancies, (b) named materials and equipment are commercially available and are performing well or otherwise, in similar installations, (c) the design provides as-built data, (d) specifications included alternatives in the event a requirement cannot be met in the field, and (e) the project is likely to be subject to differing site conditions considering the data on subsurface conditions, physical conditions of existing surface and subsurface facilities and physical conditions of underground utilities made available by the design or resulting from conditions inherent to work similar to the work.
2.4.7 The results of the reviews will be provided to the project team in formal, written reports clearly identifying all discovered discrepancies and inconsistencies in the drawings and specifications with notations and recommendations made on the drawings, specifications and other documents throughout the duration of the project. If requested by the City, the CMAR will meet with the project team to discuss and review reports.
2.4.8 The CMAR's reviews will be from a contractor’s perspective, and though it will serve to reduce the numbers of Requests for Information (RFIs) and changes during the construction phase, responsibility for the drawings and specifications will remain with the design professional and not the CMAR.
2.4.9 Notification of Variance or Deficiency: It is the CMAR responsibility to assist the design professional in ascertaining the Construction documents are in accordance with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules and regulations. If the CMAR recognizes that portions of the construction documents are at variance or deficient with reference to any applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, building codes, rules and regulations it will promptly notify the project team in writing, describing the apparent variance or deficiency.
2.4.10 Alternate Systems Evaluations: The project team will routinely identify and evaluate using value engineering principles any alternate systems, approaches, design changes that have the potential to reduce project costs while still delivering a quality and functional product. If the project team agrees, the CMAR in cooperation with the design professional will perform a cost/benefit analysis of the alternative and submit such in writing to the project team. The project team will decide which alternatives will be incorporated into the project. The design professional will have full responsibility for the incorporation of the alternatives into the drawings and specifications. The CMAR will include the cost of the alternatives into the cost estimate and any GMP proposals.
2.5 COST ESTIMATES
2.5.1 Within 14 days after receipt of the documents for the various phases of design, the
CMAR shall provide a detailed cost estimate review and a written review of the documents.
The design professional and CMAR shall reconcile any disagreements on the estimate to arrive at an agreed cost. If no consensus is reached; the City will make the final determination.
2.5.2 If any estimate submitted to the City exceeds previously accepted estimates or the City’s project budget, the CMAR with the assistance of the project team shall make appropriate recommendations on methods and materials to the project team that the CMAR believes will bring the project back into the project budget.
2.5.3 In between these milestone estimates, the CMAR shall periodically provide a tracking report which identifies the upward or downward movements of costs due to value engineering or scope changes. It shall be the responsibility of the CMAR to keep the project team informed as to the major trend changes in costs relative to the City’s budget.
2.5.4 The CMAR shall provide the City a preliminary “cash flow” projection based upon historical resources of similar type projects to assist the City in the financing process at the time of the submittal of the GMP and at any other time requested by the City.
2.6 GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE (“GMP”) PROPOSALS
2.6.1 The proposed GMP for the entire work (or portions thereof) will be presented in a format acceptable to the City. The City may request a GMP proposal for all or any portion of the project and at any time during the design phase. Any GMP proposal submitted by the CMAR will be based on and consistent with the current update/revised cost estimate at the time of the request, the associated estimates for construction costs and include any clarifications or assumptions upon which the GMP proposal(s) are based.
2.6.2 GMP Proposals for the entire project will be the sum of the maximum cost of the work, and include the CMAR's construction fee, general conditions fee, and Contractor’s contingency.
The CMAR guarantees to complete the project at or less than the final approved GMP proposal amount (i.e. the contract amount for the construction phase contract) and agrees that it will be solely responsible for any difference between the actual cost of work and that amount.
2.6.3 The CMAR, in preparing any GMP proposal, will obtain from the design professional, three sets of signed, sealed, and dated plans and specifications (including all addenda). The CMAR will prepare it GMP proposal in accordance with the City’s request for GMP proposal requirements based on the most current completed plans and specifications at that time. The
CMAR will mark the face of each document of each set upon which its proposed GMP is based.
The CMAR will send one set of those documents to the City’s project manager, keep one set and return the third set to the design professional.
2.6.4 An updated/revised project schedule will be included with any GMP proposal(s) that reflects the scope of work shown in the current set of design documents upon which the GMP proposal(s) is based. Any such project schedule updates/revisions will continue to comply with the requirements of section 2.3.
2.6.5 In the event the CMAR elects, at its sole discretion, to maintain a contractor’s contingency allowance within the GMP, the criteria for development of that allowance must be acceptable to the City. In addition, the terms and conditions regarding use of that allowance during the construction phase will be established by the City and reflected in the contract for that phase of the project.
2.6.6 If the construction contract is negotiated as a not-to-exceed amount, all GMP savings resulting from a lower actual project cost than anticipated by the CMAR will revert to the City.
2.7 GMP PROPOSAL(S) REVIEW AND APPROVAL
2.7.1 The CMAR will meet with the project team to review any GMP proposal(s) and the written statement of its basis. In the event the project team discovers inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the information presented the CMAR will make adjustments as necessary to the GMP proposal, its basis or both.
2.7.2 The City, upon receipt of any GMP proposal from the CMAR, may submit the same documents that were used by the CMAR in developing their GMP to an independent third party or to the design professional for review and verification. The third party will develop an independent estimate of the cost of work and review the project schedule for the associated scope of the
GMP proposal.
2.7.3 If the CMAR GMP proposal is greater than the independent third party estimate, the City may require the CMAR to reconfirm its GMP proposal. The CMAR will accept the independent third party’s estimate for the c ost of work as part of his GMP or present a report within seven (7) days of a written request to the City identifying, explaining and substantiating the differences. The CMAR may be requested or at its own discretion submit a revised GMP proposal for consideration to the City. At that time the City may do one of the following.
(a) Accept the CMAR original or revised GMP proposal, if within the City’s budget, without comment;
(b) Accept the CMAR original or revised GMP proposal that exceeds the City’s budget, and indicate in writing to the CMAR that the project budget has been increased to fund the differences; or
(c) Reject the CMAR’s original or revised GMP proposal because it exceeds the City’s budget, or the independent third party’s estimate, in which event, the City may terminate this contract and/or elect to not enter into a separate contract with the CMAR for the construction phase associated with the scope of work reflected in the GMP proposal.
2.7.4 If during the review and negotiation of GMP proposals design changes are required, the City will authorize and cause the design professional to revise the construction documents to the extent necessary to reflect the agreed-upon assumptions and clarifications contained in the final approved GMP proposal. Such revised construction documents will be furnished to the
CMAR. The CMAR will promptly notify the project team if any such revised construction documents are inconsistent and with the agreed-upon assumptions and clarifications.
2.8 SUBCONTRACTOR AND MAJOR SUPPLIER SELECTIONS
2.8.1 There are two ways to select subcontractors and major suppliers (hereinafter
“Subcontractors”) prior to submission of a GMP. They are qualifications only based selection or competitive bid.
Selection by qualifications only: The City may approve the selection of a Subcontractor(s) based only on their qualifications when the City agrees that it is in the best interest of the project and approves the selected Subcontractor. Qualification based selection of Subcontractor(s) should only occur prior to the submittal of the GMP proposal.
(a) The CMAR will prepare a Subcontractor selection plan and submit the plan to the City for approval. The CMAR shall apply the plan in the evaluation of the qualification of a
Subcontractor(s) and provide the City with its review and recommendation.
(b) The CMAR will negotiate costs for services/supplies from each Subcontractor selected under this method.
2.8.2 Selection by competitive bid and qualifications: All work shall be competitively bid unless a
Subcontractor was selected by qualifications only. Competitive bids may occur prior to or after the GMP proposal(s).
(a) The CMAR will develop Subcontractor interest, submit the names of a minimum of three qualified Subcontractors for each trade in the project to the City for approval and solicit bids from various work categories. If there are not three qualified Subcontractors available for a specific trade or there are extenuating circumstances warranting such, the CMAR may request approval by the City to submit less than three names. Without prior written approval by the City, no change in the City-approved Subcontractors will be allowed.
(b) If the City objects to any nominated Subcontractor or to any self-performed work for good reason, the CMAR will nominate a substitute Subcontractor.
2.8.3 The CMAR will distribute drawings and specifications, and when appropriate, conduct a prebid conference with prospective Subcontractors.
2.8.4 If the CMAR desires to self-perform the certain portions of the work, it will request to be one of the approved Subcontractor bidders for those specific bid packages. The CMAR’s bid will be evaluated in accordance with the process identified below. If events warrant, and the City agrees, the CMAR may self perform work without bidding or re-bidding the work to ensure compliance with the project schedule and/or cost.
2.8.5 The CMAR shall receive, open, record and evaluate the bids. The apparent low bidders will be interviewed to determine the responsiveness of their proposals. In evaluating the responsiveness of bid proposals the CMAR, in addition to bid price, may consider the following factors; past performance on similar projects, qualifications, and experience of personnel assigned, quality management plan, approach or understanding of the work to be performed, and performance schedule to complete the work. The final evaluation of subcontractor bids will be done with a City Representative in attendance to observe and witness the process. The
CMAR will resolve any Subcontractor bid withdrawal, protest or disqualification in connection with the award at no increase in the cost of the work.
2.8.6 Within fifteen (15) days after Subcontractor bid opening, the CMAR will prepare a list of recommended Subcontractors for each category of work for the City’s review and approval. The list will detail (a) for each subagreement, the amount of the Subcontractor bid and the corresponding Subcontractor, (b) the sum of Subcontractor bids received for all intended subagreements, and (c) trade work and its cost that the CMAR intends to self-perform, if any.
2.8.7 Upon prior City approval of all Subcontractors, the CMAR shall submit a summary report to the
City of the selection process. The report will indicate the Subcontractors contacted to determine interest, the Subcontractors solicited, the bids received/costs negotiated, and the recommended
Subcontractors for each category of work.
2.8.8 The approved Subcontractors will provide a schedule of values with their bid proposals, which will be used to create the overall project schedule of values.
2.8.9 If after receipt of Sub-Bids or after award of Subcontractors, the City objects to any nominated Subcontractor or to any self-performed work for good reason, the CMAR will nominate a substitute Subcontractor or Supplier, preferably if such option is still available, for those who submitted Subcontractor bids for the work affected. Once such substitute
Subcontractors and Suppliers are consented to by the City the CMAR’s proposed GMP for the work or portion thereof will be correspondingly adjusted to reflect any higher or lower costs from any such substitution.
2.8.10 Promptly after receipt of the Notice of Intent to Award, the City will conduct a pre-award conference with the CMAR and other project team members. At the pre-award conference the
CMAR will (a) review the nominated slate of Subcontractors and Suppliers and discuss any concerns with or objections that the City has to any nominated Subcontractor or Supplier; (b) discuss City concerns relating to any proposed self-performed work; (c) review the CMAR’s-proposed contract Price for the work during the construction phase; (d) discuss the conditions, if any, under which the City will agree to leave any portion of the remaining contractor’s contingency within the contract Price for the construction phase work; (e) resolve possible time frames for the date of commencement of the contract time for the construction phase of the work,
(f) schedule the pre-construction conference; and (g) discuss other matters of import.
