About this file

This document is a Subcontractor Selection Plan excerpt from a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contract issued by the City of Phoenix for the Cactus Park Precinct project funded by a General Obligation Bond. The plan outlines the process for selecting major subcontractors and suppliers, which may occur before or during construction services. The Contractor is responsible for preparing a Subcontractor and Supplier selection plan for City approval, which must identify trades to be selected by qualifications only and trades to be selected by qualifications combined with competitive bidding. All selected subcontractors and suppliers require City approval, and the Contractor retains sole responsibility for their performance. Qualifications-based selection is permitted when the Contractor demonstrates it is in the project's best interest, particularly during the design phase to maximize early subcontractor involvement prior to Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal submission. During the Construction Services phase, all work for major subcontractors and suppliers must be competitively bid unless a subcontractor or supplier was previously selected by qualifications alone.

The selection plan emphasizes that subcontractors must not be selected based on price alone. When utilizing the qualifications and competitive bid method, the Contractor must prequalify prospective subcontractors and suppliers according to the approved selection plan and provide the City with documentation of this prequalification process. The Contractor is required to negotiate costs for services and supplies with each selected subcontractor and supplier, with final selections subject to City review and approval. This structured approach ensures transparency, quality control, and competitive fairness while allowing flexibility for early design-phase collaboration with qualified specialty contractors.
