Using GC/CM Contracting for

Public Works Construction

Presented by W. Gregory Guedel [email protected] 206.447.8931

• Low Price Does Not Always Equal Best Value

• Complex Projects Require Specialized Expertise

• Early Contractor Involvement Helps Reduce Constructability Issues

• Risk-Sharing With Contractor Improves Your Project’s Financial And Liability Profiles

Why Use GC/CM for Construction Projects?

• The GC/CM approach utilizes early-stage contractor involvement, and the GC/CM manages all facets of the construction effort including preconstruction services.

• During pre-construction the contractor provides design review and project planning services, and converts to GC after the guaranteed maximum price is decided upon.

• Ability for fast track/phased construction and early subcontracting.

• The GC/CM could subcontract work the Owner feels is suitable for

local hire such as specialty subcontracts (painting, insulation, HVAC, refractory, grading/paving and site development).

The GC/CM Approach Offers Several Advantages

• RCW 39.10 contracting is authorized for municipal agencies.

• Agencies must demonstrate broad competence/prior experience with GC/CM or that they have a solid project management team with specific GC/CM experience.

• Must receive either agency or project approval from CPARB’s Project Review Committee.

• Projects are good candidates under RCW 39.10 if they are: “highly specialized”, “complex”, “technical”, “historic”, and/or involve structures that will remain occupied during construction.

Authorization to Use GC/CM for Public Works Construction

Authorization Bodies for GC/CM Projects

• Capital Projects Advisory Review Board

• Membership comprised of diverse positions in the construction industry

• Approval authority delegated to Project Review Committees

• PRCs typically include representatives of: general/specialty contractors, organized labor, public owners, construction managers, and MWBE.

Keys for GC/CM Project Approval

• Experienced personnel are crucial

• Good project management plan

• Funding, schedule, contingencies

• Respond directly and comprehensively to PRC’s written questions

Sample PRC Question/Answers Precon efforts seem to be scheduled in duration ‘spurts’ of 2 months allocated to each of the schools (except for the third, Lincoln, which for some reason indicates 3 months). Is this ‘start-stop’ depiction realistic?

• District and GC/CM to collaborate on appropriate scheduling of Preconstruction services once GC/CM is selected. • Preconstruction duration for Cascade (2nd year) and Lincoln (3rd year) will both likely be adjusted to be from three to four months each. • Preconstruction duration for Sunset View (1st year) will be two months due to schedule constraints. • Increased efficiencies incorporated into Cascade and Lincoln construction projects.

• Following PRC project approval, Owner conducts RFQ process to

identify qualified GC/CM contractors. • RFQ criteria are based on qualitative company experience and

capability factors, not on price. For finalists, percent fee and total general conditions cost are considered.

• Owner scores the RFQ responses and selects the best firm, then negotiates the GC/CM contract terms and MACC/TCC.

• If negotiations fail, Owner can negotiate with next-best company.

GC/CM Selection and Contracting Process

• Contract Price: MACC and TCC are negotiated at 90% design level. • Risk Contingency Required – Minimum 5%.

• Identify self-performed work, subcontract work, early subcontract

packages.

• Determine if subcontractor prequalification criteria will be used.

• Early completion/savings incentives up to 5% of MACC.
