Pre-Construction Services. The Construction Manager shall provide the following Pre-Construction Services: 3.4.1 The Construction Manager shall familiarize itself with the approved Facilities Program for the Project and actively and jointly participate with the Owner and the Professional in formation of the final Project design. The phasing of, and schedule for, design for this Project are set forth on Exhibit B. Submit for Owner review within thirty (30) calendar days of the Owner’s execution of this Agreement: Project reporting procedures; Quality Control and Testing Program; and Safety Program. The Professional is required, in accordance with schedule requirements, to provide design concepts, narratives, and drawings. At each phase of design, in keeping with the Owner’s goals and the Facilities Program for the Project, the Construction Manager shall familiarize itself with these design documents and, in accordance with the Schedule on Exhibit B, provide the Owner and Professional with a report detailing construction issues and concerns relating to the design, with detail appropriate to the phase of design. Without limitation of the foregoing, each construction report shall: include an estimate of overall construction cost, with Construction Manager’s contingency associated with the Cost of the Work at no greater percentages than the percentages set forth on Exhibit E, including a comparison of the estimate to Owner’s budget for construction; identify conceptual decisions necessary to prepare accurate cost reports with the fewest assumptions, qualifications and exclusions; include an analysis and evaluation of jobsite management, site logistics, and schedule considerations; include an analysis and evaluation of the constructability of the design concepts, narratives, or drawings; include an analysis and evaluation of the design concepts, narratives, or drawings in regard to the completeness of intended bid categories, conflicts or overlaps in the divisions of the Work, design details affecting construction including, without limitation, unusual or custom materials, value analysis, identification of long-lead materials affecting the Construction Schedule, availability of labor, and other factors affecting construction and, in the report provided during the Construction Documents Phase, suggestions for alternatives for matters which may delay the construction schedule; address problems, conflicts, defects or deficiencies in the design concepts and offer resolutions of same; and identify any other issues which Construction Manager reasonably believes may have a negative impact on the Project schedule, budget or performance. 3.4.4 The Construction Manager and the Professional shall jointly schedule and attend regular meetings with the Owner and evaluate the preliminary design drawings. The Professional shall prepare and distribute minutes of these meetings, and the Construction Manager shall verify the accuracy and completeness of the minutes. 3.4.5 The Construction Manager shall develop a comprehensive jobsite management and logistics plan for the Owner’s review. This plan shall be submitted no later than the date set forth on Exhibit E. 3.4.6 The Construction Manager shall, in accordance with schedule requirements, assist the Professional with the resolution of all problems, conflicts, defects or deficiencies identified during the review and evaluation of the Construction Documents. 3.4.7 At each phase of design, the Construction Manager shall work with the Professional and/or the Owner’s cost consultant to reconcile, and make recommendations on, the differences between the estimates each has prepared at that phase of design. If the final estimates of the Construction Cost by the Construction Manager and the Professional and/or the Owner’s cost consultant differ materially, the Construction Manager and Professional and/or the Owner’s cost consultant shall meet promptly to reconcile the discrepancies between their estimates so as to permit submission to the Owner of a final estimate of Construction Cost on which both the Professional and the Construction Manager agree. 3.4.8 If the Owner elects to phase and/or “fast track” portions of the construction (such portions being described on Exhibit E), multiple Guaranteed Maximum Price proposals will be required. 3.4.9 The Construction Manager understands and acknowledges the Owner’s intent that the Project will be completed within the budget set by Owner for the Project. Accordingly, throughout the Pre-Construction Services phase, the Construction Manager shall keep Owner informed if it believes that the Project may not be completed within Owner’s budget, the reasons why it cannot be, and the Construction Manager’s proposed solutions therefor.
