Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Renovations and Additions to Sachse High School- Contract Form and Scope of Services The Owner will contract directly with a Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) for performing general construction of the project. The CMR will then conduct the subcontractor selection/bidding and contract with all other subcontractors required for the work. The Owner reserves the right to contract separately with other suppliers, vendors and contracts as deemed in the best interest of the Owners project. For construction work, this is currently anticipated to be: Furniture Vendors Potential long lead or national contract equipment/materials. In this event, it is anticipated such materials/equipment would be assigned to the CMR for his coordination and installation. Independent testing and commissioning including materials testing and inspection, HVAC testing and balancing, etc. The CMR will be reimbursed for the cost of the Work plus a Fee. For purposes of this proposal, terms of the contract will be an owner issued document similar to the AIA Document A133-2009 Construction Agreement with the AIA-201-2007, General Conditions of the Contract for Construction, with Supplementary Conditions (attached). Candidates should identify in their proposal any exceptions taken or additions/modifications requested that are considered by the Contractor to be mandatory as conditions of their proposal. Objections to the contract type or format not included within the proposal submission will result in immediate disqualification of proposal. The CMR will provide one Initial Guaranteed Maximum Price and then a Final Guaranteed Maximum Price at the appropriate times in development of the Project. The CMR will participate in pre-construction services by preparing construction cost estimates as identified in the Budgeting/Cost Estimating section below. The CMR competitively bids and enters into subcontracts for all portions of the work, with the exception of work specifically approved by the Owner when appropriate to schedule or logistics. Any potential self-performed work will still be competitively bid by the CMR. All subcontract bids are reviewed and approved by the Owner prior to award. Bidding shall be to a minimum of three subcontractors for each trade, unless circumstances preclude or are not appropriate to the project. The CMR will be required to coordinate with any other contracts the Owner may issue directly such as, site or general construction, mechanical or electrical construction, communications cabling, or others. Payment and performance bonds will be required of the CMR for the entire project. The Owner will make all construction payments directly to the CMR, for their distribution of payments to subcontractors and suppliers as appropriate. The Owner may elect to procure certain materials/equipment directly, with coordination and scheduling support from the CMR. The equipment would then be assigned to the CMR with the full acceptance of responsibilities for coordination and installation. A specific fee for this approach is requested, should the Owner elect to do so for any materials/equipment. Page 6 of 74 The Owner has business impact and related costs for late completion. Liquidated damages of $1,000 per day will be assessed for late completion.
