Phase I – Pre-Construction Services 1. Project Review a. The pre-construction phase will include services through schematic design including a schematic budget estimate. It will be the responsibility of the construction manager to integrate the design and construction, utilizing the firm’s skills and knowledge of general contracting to contribute to the development of the project during the design pre-construction phases. The City has contracted with an architect firm for the design of this remodel. b. The CMAR shall develop written project procedures, in cooperation with the City and other members of the Project Team that will be used as a guide for the management and coordination of this project throughout the life of the project. 2. Consultation During Pre-Construction Services a. The CMAR shall attend regularly scheduled meetings with the City, the Project Designer, Consultants, other design team members, and stakeholders, to advise them on matters relating to site use, improvements, selection of materials, building methods, scheduling, construction details, building systems and equipment, phasing and sequencing. The CMAR shall provide written recommendations to the City and the Project Designer on construction feasibility. 3. Value Analysis a. The CMAR shall, after a complete review of the Project Schematic Design documents, evaluate the designs available at the time of the CMAR’s commencement of Preconstruction services to obtain an understanding of the intent of the City and the Project Designer, provide value analysis services, and offer cost savings suggestions and best value recommendations to the City. All recommendations shall be in writing and must be fully reviewed with the Project Designer and the City, and approved by the City prior to implementation. b. Value analysis efforts shall result in a design that is most effective in first costs as well as long term operational costs relative to issues of energy use and facility maintainability. Value analysis studies shall include life cycle cost analysis as may be required to assist the Project Designer to achieve an appropriate balance between costs, aesthetics, and function. c. Value analysis efforts shall also take into consideration applicable constructability issues including but not limited to an analysis of site risks. d. The CMAR shall promptly notify the City and Project Designer in writing upon observing any features in the design that appear to be ambiguous, confusing, conflicting, or erroneous. e. All value analysis studies must be provided in a timely basis within the design schedule. f. Value analysis studies shall be continuous as the design is completed.
