Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas CM at Risk Lessons Learned The best performers at CM at Risk are the same best performers at CSP and hard bid. State procurement laws may vary the process. o Example: For Texas, 100% CDs and public subcontractor proposals on each package are required prior to any real work. o It is more work, not less for the Architect and Contractor. Allow adequate time for review and approval of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Allow adequate time for the subcontractor selection process by the CM and Owner approval

Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas CM at Risk Lessons Learned Agree on the subcontractor selection criteria and process early. The project design must be sufficiently advanced to have accurate general conditions proposals in the RFP. Clearly define what is to be included and excluded from “general conditions” in the RFP. Lump sum general conditions - not cost plus. o The most issues/problems. o 90% of contract administrator or Owner’s representative’s time on 5% of cost.

Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas CM at Risk Lessons Learned Draft a total project schedule, not just a construction schedule. Give the CM the entire project budget. Tell the CM what parts it is responsible for. Add example schedule, decision milestones

Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas Benefits of CM at Risk Delivery Example: 1 Million GSF Public Hospital 4-year project duration Items bought early Potential cost savings

Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas Facilities Institute July , 2012 Houston, Texas Pick the Right Delivery Method Before starting the selection process, determine which delivery method will provide “best value” Factors to consider (add more): o Project size and complexity o Time allocated for the construction o Competitiveness of the current/local construction market o Desired flexibility o Availability of contractors and subcontractors in the local market After deciding on key factors, evaluate the various delivery methods and formally adopt the method you deem “best value.”
