Construction Manager at Risk TAB 2: Experience

(CMAR) List Project Delivery Method

Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)
Once GPISD has determined the CMAR procurement
method of construction be used for constructing all new
projects, the CMAR process is based on a team approach
and allows the district to select a General Contractor on the
basis of demonstrated competence and price. The CMAR
has a financial and contract incentive to keep the project
within budget during the various phases of design. As
defined by AIA Document A121, the Guaranteed Maximum
Price (GMP) is the sum of the Cost of the Work and the
Construction Manager’s Fee. The GMP is a price for the total
project and is not intended to be determined on a “line by
line” item basis. It is not recommended for small project
delivery.

CMAR is a construction procurement process in which:

 The CMAR is selected by the Owner at the outset
of the project based on demonstrated experience
and competency with the project at hand as well
as a percentage fee for the cost of the work. This
allows the Owner to select the CMAR best suited
for their project.

 The CMAR can issue packages of work for bid in
order to facilitate the work and the scheduled,
e.g. a site or foundation package.

 The CMAR is responsible for advertising the
project for bid, receives all bids and prepares a
bid tabulation for review by the Owner’s
representative (Project Manager).

 Once the project Manager has reviewed the bid
tabulation and determined the overall cost is
within the project budget the Project Manager
will recommend to the Owner that the cost for
the work be accepted.

 Following completion of the work, a CMAR cost
review will be performed to determine the final
cost of the work and any shared savings to be
distributed between the owner and CMAR.

 The process if fully auditable and, if the client
follows the law, should sustain protest or legal
challenge.

The RGCI Project Manager shall coordinate the bidding of
the project with the A/E and CMAR to comply with the
GPISD requirements.
