The CMAR begins in an agency support role and transitions to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract, with GMP submitted in MasterFormat or CSI format. All project records must be maintained in the City's UNIFIER project management system. Beneficial use is targeted for July 1, 2029, with estimated construction cost of $40 million.
