| PROJECT DESCRIPTION: | |
The City of Chandler Forensic Services Section with Laboratory (the “Lab”) is currently located at the Chandler Main Police Station, 250 East Chicago Street, Chandler, AZ. The Lab performs a variety of tests of different forensic disciplines including fingerprint analysis, blood alcohol and controlled substance analysis, crime scene response and analysis, and digital forensics. Expansion of current services is planned to accommodate an increase in the number and types of tests. The existing location cannot accommodate this expansion. This project is for a new facility that is approximately 30,000 SF. A city-owned parcel immediately east of the existing Chandler Police Property and Evidence Facility located at 576 West Pecos Road is currently reserved for this new facility. The new facility includes a new building for offices, laboratories, and other types of spaces, exterior parking, site improvements, storage, security, shade structures, and other associated improvements. The estimated construction cost for this project ranges from $35,000,000 to $40,000,000. The CM@Risk Team is expected to provide construction work for the Project, adjacent improvements, or utility improvements, and is expected to stay within the City’s estimated budget. | |
| SCOPE OF WORK: | |
The City of Chandler is planning to use CM@Risk for pre-construction and construction services, and will require the CM@Risk to cooperate with the Project Designer throughout the pre-construction and construction phases of the Project. Both the Project Designer and the CM@Risk will be a part of the Design/Constructability Team working together to develop the design that best meets the city’s needs and budget. During the Preconstruction Phase, the CM@Risk Team must collaborate with the City and SmithGroup, Inc. on the design, constructability, cost and scheduling of the entire project, subsurface investigation as needed, attend coordination meetings with utilities, and provide Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) pricing. Upon City’s acceptance of terms, conditions and GMP, the Construction Phase will commence. During the construction phase, the CM@Risk Team must function as the General Contractor for the duration of the project. The scope of work includes the deliverables necessary to complete the project tasks as described below: Provide Pre-construction Services: Provide pre-construction services, including but not limited to, plan conflict reviews, constructability reviews, value engineering, assistance with design and utility coordination, scheduling, traffic control plans, coordination of Agreement documents, and development of a guaranteed maximum price. Cooperation with owners and businesses is required. Provide Construction Services: Provide all construction services to build the improvements in accordance with the engineering design and City standards. CM@Risk contractor, using the design documents, is responsible for construction of the project. CM@Risk assumes the risk of delivering the project through the Guaranteed Maximum Price Agreement. The Project must include the supply of all materials, equipment, and labor for installation, acceptance testing, commissioning, and warranty with record documents. The CM@Risk Team must control the costs and will be responsible for the project schedule and may compete to self-perform certain work. At some point prior to construction, the CM@Risk Team must assume the risk of delivering the project through GMP Agreement modification. The CM@Risk Team is expected to provide construction work for the Project, adjacent improvements, or utility improvements, and is expected to stay within the City’s estimated budget.
