General_Conditions_and_Direct_Work_Clarification_-_Exhibit_A.xlsx

This is a General Conditions and Direct Work Clarification exhibit for the City of Meriden's Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) services contract related to the New Casimir Pulaski School construction project. The document establishes the framework for defining the scope of work, responsibilities, and contractual relationships between the City, the Construction Manager, and relevant contractors and consultants involved in the project delivery. The exhibit clarifies the distinction between general conditions work—which includes project management, administration, and overhead activities typically performed by the Construction Manager—and direct work, which encompasses actual construction activities that may be performed by the Construction Manager's own forces or subcontracted to specialty contractors. This clarification is essential for properly allocating costs, managing performance, and ensuring transparent accounting throughout the various phases of the project, including abatement, demolition, new construction, commissioning, and closeout.

The General Conditions and Direct Work Clarification document provides the contractual and operational structure necessary for managing the complex, phased nature of the Pulaski School project. By explicitly defining what constitutes general conditions work versus direct construction work, the exhibit enables accurate budgeting, cost tracking, and performance management. This delineation is particularly important given the project's anticipated early abatement and demolition phase followed by new construction, as it allows stakeholders to understand cost allocation, overhead responsibilities, and the Construction Manager's role in each project phase. The document serves as a foundational reference for all parties involved in executing the project delivery strategy outlined in the original RFQ.
