The CMAR shall provide updates and/or revisions to the Project Schedule for use by the Project Team, whenever required, but no less often than at the Project Team meetings. The CMAR shall include with such submittals a narrative describing its analysis of the progress achieved to-date vs. that planned, any concerns regarding delays or potential delays, and any recommendations regarding mitigating actions.
2.2.4 If phased construction is deemed appropriate and the City and Design Professional approve, the CMAR shall 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 shall 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.
2.3 DESIGN DOCUMENT REVIEWS
2.3.1 The CMAR shall evaluate periodically the availability of labor, materials/equipment, building systems, cost-sensitive aspects of the design; and other factors that may impact the Cost Model or cost estimate, GMP Proposals and/or the Project Schedule.
2.3.2 The CMAR shall recommend, in conjunction with the Project Team, any additional surface and subsurface investigations that, in its opinion, are required to provide the necessary information for the CMAR to construct the Project. These additional investigations, agreed to by the design team, shall be acquired or performed by the CMAR and copies of the reports will be provided to the City.
2.3.3 The CMAR shall meet with the Project Team as required to review designs during their development. The
CMAR shall familiarize itself with the evolving documents through the various design phases. The CMAR shall 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 shall furthermore advise the Project Team on proposed site improvements, excavation and foundation considerations, as well as, concerns that exist with respect to coordination of the Drawings and Specifications. The CMAR shall recommend cost effective alternatives.
2.3.4 The CMAR shall routinely conduct constructability and biddability reviews of the Drawings and Specifications as necessary to satisfy the needs of the Project Team. The reviews shall attempt to identify all discrepancies and inconsistencies in the Construction Documents especially those related to clarity, consistency, completeness and coordination of Work of Subcontractors and Suppliers.
2.3.4.1 The CMAR shall 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) sequences of Work required by or inferable from the Drawings and Specifications are practicable, (f) 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, and (g) the design maintains continued operation of the existing water operations and maintains the access to existing traffic.
2.3.4.2 The CMAR shall check cross-references and complementary Drawings and sections within the

2.3.4.3 The results of the reviews shall be provided to the City 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. The CMAR shall meet with the City and Design Professional to discuss any findings and review reports.
2.3.4.4 The CMAR’s reviews shall be from a contractor's perspective, and though it shall serve to reduce the number of Requests for Information (RFIs) and changes during the construction phase, responsibility for the Drawings and Specifications shall remain with the Design Professional and not the CMAR.
2.3.5 It is the CMAR’s responsibility to assist the Design Professional in ascertaining that the Construction
Documents are in accordance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, and building codes. If the CMAR recognizes that portions of the Construction Documents are at variance with applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, and building codes, it shall promptly notify the Design Professional and City in writing, describing the apparent variance or deficiency. However, the Design Professional is ultimately responsible for compliance with building codes.
2.3.6 The Project Team shall 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 alternatives 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 design responsibility for the review and incorporation of the CMAR suggested alternatives into the Drawings and Specifications. The CMAR shall include the cost of the alternatives into the Cost Model or cost estimate and any GMP Proposals.
2.4 COST MODEL, COST ESTIMATES AND SCHEDULE OF VALUES
2.4.1 As soon as practical during the preliminary design phase, the CMAR will review all available information regarding the design and scope of the Project, the CMAR’s experience in performing similar work, etc. and based upon that review shall develop a Cost Model for review and approval by the City. Once approved by the City, the Cost Model shall be continually updated and kept current as the design progresses throughout the design phase until a final GMP for the entire Project is established. The Cost Model shall be the best representation of the CMAR of what the complete functional Project’s construction costs will be as indicated by the most current available documents. The CMAR shall communicate to the Project Team, any assumptions made in preparing the Cost Model. The Cost Model shall support the CMAR’s construction cost estimates and may be broken down initially as dictated by the available information, but may also be broken down by CSI Specification Divisions 1-16 and/or other breakdowns, as required by the City. The Cost Model shall also include allowances as agreed to by the Project Team, including but not limited: (a) a construction cost contingency based on an agreed upon percentage of the total estimated construction cost, (b) allowances for potential additional quantities and/or additional Work that the City may require, and
(c) any costs related to investigations described in paragraph 2.3.
2.4.2 After receipt of the Design Professional’s most current documents from certain specified design phase milestones, the CMAR shall provide a detailed written report to the Project Team regarding the impact of and changes to the Cost Model based on the CMAR’s review of the design documents made available at the specified design phase milestone. The Design Professional and the CMAR will reconcile any disagreements on the estimate to arrive at an agreed upon estimate for the construction costs based on the scope of the Project through that specified design phase milestone. The design phase milestones applicable to this paragraph are: detailed design at 30%, 60% and 90% completion. If no consensus is reached, the City will make the final determination. If the Project Team requires additional updates of the Cost Model beyond that specified in this paragraph, the CMAR shall provide the requested information in a timely manner.
2.4.3 If at any point the estimate submitted to the City exceeds previously accepted estimates agreed to by the
Project Team or other key aspects of the Cost Model or the City’s Project Budget, the CMAR shall make appropriate recommendations to the City and Design Professional on means/methods, materials, and or other design elements that it believes will reduce the estimated construction costs, (without altering the City’s basic program) such that it is equal to or less than the established Project Team’s target and/or the Project Budget.
2.4.4 Near completion of the 90% detailed design review and included with the associated report, the CMAR shall also submit to the City for review and approval a Schedule of Values that complies with the following requirements. The Schedule of Values shall highlight significant variances from any previously submitted Schedule of Values. The Schedule of Values shall be directly related to the breakdowns reflected in the Project Schedule and the CMAR’s Cost Model. In addition, the Schedule of Values shall: (a) detail unit prices and quantity take-offs, (b) detail all other allowances and unit price Work shown and specified in the detailed design documents.
2.4.4.1 The CMAR shall track, estimate/price and address Team overall project cost issues that arise outside of the Cost Model estimate such as: Owner generated changes, Design Team Proposed changes, Alternate system analysis, Constructability items and Value Engineering. The system used to implement this process will be referred to as the Design Evolution Log. This shall be addressed between the 30% Cost Model estimate and 60% estimate and between the 60% estimate and the bid packages for the project elements/project phases.
2.4.5 Upon request by the City, the CMAR shall submit to the City a cash flow projection for the Project based on the current updated/revised Project Schedule and the anticipated level of payments for the CMAR during the design and construction phases. In addition, if requested by the City and based on information provided by the City, the CMAR shall prepare a cash flow projection for the entire Project based on historical records for similar types of projects to assist the City in the financing process.
2.5 GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE (GMP) PROPOSALS
2.5.1 The proposed GMP for the entire Work, and for each phase of the work, shall 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 Proposals submitted by the CMAR shall 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.
2.5.2 GMP Proposals for the entire Project shall be the sum of the maximum Cost of the Work, and include the
CMAR’s Construction Fee, General Conditions Fee, CMAR Contingency, City Contingency (amount to be determined solely by the City), and any allowances. The CMAR guarantees to complete the Project at or less than the mutually-agreed final GMP Proposal amount as adjusted by any Written Amendments and Change Orders to which the CMAR is entitled under the Contract, and agrees that it shall be responsible for any increase in the actual cost of the Work above that amount.
2.5.3 The CMAR, in preparing the final GMP Proposal for each applicable phase of Work, will obtain from the
City, six (6) sets of signed, sealed, and dated Drawings and Specifications for the phase (including all addenda). The CMAR shall prepare its GMP in accordance with the City’s request for GMP Proposal requirements based on the most current completed Drawings and Specifications at that time. The CMAR shall mark the face of each document of each set upon which its proposed GMP is based. These documents shall be identified as the GMP Plans and Specifications. The CMAR shall send one set of those documents to the City’s Project Manager and keep five (5) set(s) for its own use.
2.5.4 An updated/revised Project Schedule shall be included with any GMP Proposal(s) that reflects the GMP
Plans and Specifications. Any such Project Schedule updates/revisions shall continue to comply with the requirements of paragraph 2.2.
2.5.5 In the event the CMAR elects, at its sole discretion, to maintain a CMAR Contingency within the GMP, the criteria for development of that allowance must be acceptable to the City. In addition, the specific terms and conditions regarding use of that allowance during the construction phase shall be established by the City and reflected in the contract for that phase of the Project.
2.5.6 The form of GMP to be used for this project shall be provided to the CMAR during the Design Phase services..
2.6 GMP PROPOSAL(S) REVIEW AND APPROVAL
2.6.1 The CMAR shall meet with the City and Design Professional to review the GMP Proposal(s) and the written statement of its basis. In the event the City or Design Professional discovers inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the information presented, the CMAR shall make adjustments as necessary to the GMP Proposal, its basis or both.
2.6.2 The City upon receipt of any GMP proposal from the CMAR, may submit the GMP Plans and Specifications to an independent third party or to the Design Professional for review and verification. The third party or Design Professional will develop an independent estimate of the Cost of the Work and review the Project Schedule for the associated scope of the GMP Proposals.
2.6.3 If the CMAR GMP Proposal is greater than the independent third party or Design Professional’s estimate, the City may require the CMAR to reconfirm its GMP Proposal. The CMAR shall then meet with the City, the Design Professional and if used, the independent third party to reconcile the project estimate.
2.6.4 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 shall promptly notify the Design Professional and City in writing if any such revised Construction Documents are inconsistent with the agreed-upon assumptions and clarifications.
2.6.5 CMAR Contingency shall be a separate line item in each GMP package submitted to the City in an amount to be negotiated by the City and the CMAR with input from the Design Professional. The CMAR Contingency shall be the last item in the GMP proposal table and shall have no markups applied at the time of submission of the GMP proposal. CMAR Contingency shall be used by the CMAR and at the discretion of the CMAR pursuant to the requirements indicated in the General Conditions of the construction phase contract.
2.6.6 City Contingency will be used at the sole discretion of the City. At the time that the CMAR submits its GMP proposal to the City for approval, the City may add an additional amount to the sum of the GMP proposals to cover any increases in project costs that result from City directed changes. The total Approved Project Cost will be the sum of the CMAR’s GMP proposals and the Owner’s Contingency, if applicable.
2.7 SUBCONTRACTOR AND MAJOR SUPPLIER SELECTIONS
2.7.1 There are two ways to select Subcontractors and major Suppliers prior to submission of a GMP Proposal.
They are qualifications-based selection and a combination of qualifications-based selection with competitive bidding. Price alone shall not be the sole consideration of selection of Subcontractors and major Suppliers. Except as noted below, the selection of Subcontractors/Suppliers is the sole responsibility of the CMAR. In any case, the CMAR is solely responsible for the performance of the selected Subcontractors/Suppliers.
2.7.2 The City may approve the selection of a Subcontractor(s) or Suppliers(s) based only on their qualifications when the CMAR can demonstrate it is in the best interest of the Project.
2.7.2.1 Qualification-based selection of Subcontractors/Suppliers at the 95–100% design stage shall take place prior to the submission of the GMP Proposal.
2.7.2.2 The CMAR shall prepare a Subcontractor/Supplier selection plan and submit the plan to the City for approval. The CMAR shall apply the plan in the evaluation of the qualifications of a Subcontractor(s) or Supplier(s) and provide the City with its review and recommendation.
2.7.2.3 The CMAR must receive City approval of the selected Subcontractor(s)/Supplier(s).
2.7.2.4 The CMAR shall negotiate costs for services/supplies from each Subcontractor/Supplier selected under this method.
2.7.3 When the CMAR accepts competitively bids from qualified Subcontractors or Suppliers, the CMAR shall provide copies of such bids to the City as well as supporting information on the qualifications. Competitive bids shall occur prior to the GMP Proposal(s).
2.7.3.1 The CMAR shall develop Subcontractor and Supplier interest and include any Kingman area contractors and suppliers that can meet the project scope, submit the names of a minimum of five qualified Subcontractors or Suppliers for each trade in the Project for approval by the City and solicit bids for the various Work categories. If there are not five qualified Subcontractors/Suppliers 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 notice to the City, no change in the recommended Subcontractors/Suppliers shall be allowed.
2.7.3.2 If the City objects to any nominated Subcontractor/Supplier or to any self-performed Work for good reason, the CMAR shall nominate a substitute Subcontractor/Supplier that is acceptable to the City.
2.7.3.3 The CMAR shall distribute Drawings and Specifications, and when appropriate, conduct a prebid conference with prospective Subcontractors and Suppliers.
