Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for Joaquin Murrieta Park Improvements

It is the City of Tucson’s intention to initiate an RFQ for a CM@Risk for pre-construction and construction-phase services for the construction of improvements to Joaquin Murrieta Park, located at 1400 N. Silverbell Road, Tucson, Arizona. The CM@R team will be required to closely work together with all involved parties. The design and construction teams will be responsible to define, monitor and stay within the project budget and schedule. The budget is set for this project and additional funds are not available. The CM@Risk contractor for the project will ensure the team is adhering to the project schedule and will be responsible to provide repetitive cost and constructability alternatives throughout the pre-construction and construction process. The CM@R will provide pre-construction management services during the design phase of the project and may serve as the General Contractor for the construction of the project. At some point prior to construction, the CM@Risk will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract. GMP means the sum of the maximum cost of the Work; the CM@Risk’s construction fee; general conditions fee; taxes, bonds, insurance costs; and bid contingency as proposed and approved pursuant to Article V of the CM@Risk Standard Terms & Conditions contained herein. The approved GMP will be made part of the Construction Services Agreement by executing an amendment or additional amendments for phased construction. The CM@Risk will be responsible for construction means and methods, and may be required to solicit bids from pre-qualified subcontractors to perform the work. The CM@Risk may also decide for the firm to perform specific work packages. A.
