About this file
This document is a ConsensusDocs 500 Standard Agreement template between the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) and a Construction Manager (CM) for construction management services on an at-risk basis. The contract pertains to the KSC Student Center Mabel Brown Room Theatrical and House Lighting Upgrades project. The agreement establishes the framework for construction management services and delineates the responsibilities of all parties involved, including the Owner, Construction Manager, Design Professional, and Subcontractors. The Construction Manager is responsible for providing preconstruction services including preliminary evaluation, consultation on design and materials, schedule development, cost estimating, constructability reviews, temporary facility recommendations, long-lead-item procurement coordination, and subcontractor solicitation. The contract requires the Construction Manager to prepare a preliminary Schedule of the Work within 30 days of award and to develop detailed cost estimates at successive design phases for Owner approval. The agreement contemplates establishment of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) once design documents are sufficiently complete, at which point the Construction Manager assumes responsibility for all costs exceeding the GMP.
The GMP proposal must include the estimated cost of work, Construction Manager's fee, clarifications and assumptions, allowances, and contingencies, but excludes preconstruction services compensation. The Construction Manager guarantees the contract sum will not exceed the approved GMP and bears all costs in excess thereof without reimbursement; conversely, 100 percent of project savings revert to the Owner. The agreement specifies that subcontracts shall be issued on a lump-sum basis unless Owner approval is obtained for alternative payment methods, and the Construction Manager cannot engage Related Party subcontractors without prior written Owner authorization. The Construction Manager holds overall responsibility for safety programs, quality assurance, compliance with applicable laws, and coordination of all construction activities. The contract includes a one-year correction period for defective work following Substantial Completion and requires the Construction Manager to maintain comprehensive project records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, subject to Owner audit rights. The agreement is governed by New Hampshire law and includes provisions for dispute resolution, change orders, payment procedures, insurance requirements, and indemnification obligations.

3.1.1.2.1 Where the words “or equal” are used after such manufacturer’s name, trade name or proprietary designation, Construction Manager proposed substitutions will be accepted only if they are, in the opinion of the Design Professional, proved equal to the specified material or product through the submittal of comparative manufacturer’s information or as otherwise provided in §3.1.1.1. The Construction Manager shall inform the Design Professional in writing of the proposed substitution and request approval thereof prior to or at the time the material or product is submitted for approval. Written approval by the Design Professional shall be required for the acceptance of any such substitution.
3.1.1.2.2 Where the words “or equal” are not used after such manufacturer’s name, trade name or proprietary designation, Construction Manager proposed substitutions may be accepted or rejected whether or not they are or can be, in the opinion of the Design Professional, proved equal to the specified material or product through the submittal of comparative manufacturer’s information or as otherwise provided in §3.1.1.1. The Construction Manager shall inform the Design Professional in writing of the proposed substitution and request approval thereof prior to or at the time the material or product is submitted for approval. Written approval by the Design Professional shall be required for the acceptance of any such substitution.

Written approval by the Design Professional shall be required for the acceptance of any such deviation.
3.1.1.4 The Contract Documents are intended to produce a building of consistent character and quality of design. All components of the building including visible items of mechanical and electrical equipment have been selected to produce a coordinated design in relation to the overall appearance of the building. The Design Professional will judge the design and

appearance of proposed substitutes based on their appropriateness in relation to the overall design of the project, as well as for their intrinsic merits.

The GMP shall be adjusted by Change Order to reflect the actual costs when they are greater than or less than the allowances.
3.4.8 CONSTRUCTION MANAGER’S CONTINGENCY The GMP Proposal will contain, as part of the estimated Cost of the Work, Construction Manager’s Contingency, a sum mutually agreed upon and monitored by Construction Manager and Owner to cover costs which are properly reimbursable as a Cost of the Work but are not the basis for a Change Order. Construction Manager’s Contingency shall not be used for changes in scope or for any item that would be the basis for an increase in the GMP.
Construction Manager’s use of its contingency shall be by written approval of the Owner, and Construction Manager shall provide Owner with a monthly accounting of charges against Construction Manager’s Contingency, if applicable, with each application for payment.
3.4.9 FAILURE TO ACCEPT THE GMP PROPOSAL Unless Owner accepts the GMP Proposal in writing on or before the date specified in the GMP Proposal for such acceptance and so notifies Construction Manager, the GMP Proposal shall not be effective. If Owner fails to accept the GMP Proposal, or rejects the GMP Proposal, Owner shall have the right to:
3.4.9.1 suggest modifications to the GMP Proposal. If such modifications are accepted in writing by Construction Manager, the GMP Proposal shall be deemed accepted in accordance with §3.4.6; or
3.4.9.2 terminate the Agreement for convenience in accordance with §12.2.
3.4.10 ACCEPTANCE OF THE GMP PROPOSAL If the Owner notifies the Construction Manager that the Owner has accepted the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal in writing before the date specified in the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal, the Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal shall be deemed effective without further acceptance from the Construction Manager. Following acceptance of a Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Owner and Construction Manager shall execute the Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment amending this Agreement. Owner shall provide a copy of the GMP Amendment to the Design Professional. The Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment shall set forth the agreed upon Guaranteed Maximum Price with the information and assumptions upon which it is based (See §s 3.4.1 and 3.4.2).
