3-GC Exhibit H2–Project Design Milestone Schedule.docx

This is a Project Design Milestone Schedule exhibit for LEAD Public Schools' Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) / General Contractor Services contract for the redevelopment of the Metroplex campus in Nashville, Tennessee. The schedule establishes the timeline for preconstruction and construction phases, with key milestones designed to guide project progression from award through completion. The document outlines critical dates and deliverables for design development, permitting, value engineering, and construction commencement, ensuring coordinated execution between LEAD, the selected CMAR/GC, and project stakeholders. This schedule serves as a binding framework for performance accountability and allows LEAD to monitor adherence to agreed-upon project timelines during both the preconstruction phase and the negotiated Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) construction phase.

The milestone schedule establishes performance expectations and contingency planning mechanisms to address potential delays while maintaining project momentum. The schedule includes staged approval gates that link design completion milestones to construction readiness, ensuring that preconstruction services such as constructability reviews, cost estimation, and trade coordination are completed before construction commencement. This phased approach protects LEAD's interests by allowing comprehensive project assessment and GMP validation before full construction obligations commence, while providing the selected CMAR/GC with clear deliverable expectations and timeline requirements for contract execution and performance evaluation.
