About this file
This is a Subcontractor Selection Plan excerpt from a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contract for the City of Phoenix related to the Phoenix Sky Harbor Operations and Police Facility project. The plan establishes the framework for how the Contractor will select major subcontractors and suppliers, with qualifications submissions due by 12:00 pm on Friday, September 25, 2026, via the City's Procurement Portal. The Contractor is responsible for developing and submitting a comprehensive selection plan to the City for approval that identifies which trades will be selected based on qualifications alone and which will be selected through a combination of qualifications and competitive bidding. The plan must also identify any subcontractors not selected through a formalized qualifications-based process.
The selection process allows for qualification-based selection of subcontractors and suppliers when the Contractor can demonstrate it is in the project's best interest, with such selections encouraged during the design phase to maximize early subcontractor involvement before the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal submission. During the construction services phase, major subcontractors and suppliers must be competitively bid unless they were previously selected by qualifications alone. The Contractor retains sole responsibility for the performance of all selected subcontractors and suppliers and must receive City approval for all selections. Subcontractors must not be selected based on price alone, and the Contractor must negotiate costs with each selected subcontractor and supplier regardless of the selection method used.
