1. INTRODUCTION
The State of Tennessee, Department of General Services, State of Tennessee Real Estate Asset Management (“STREAM”), hereinafter referred to as the “State,” or the “Owner,” has issued this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to define minimum contract requirements; solicit responses; detail response requirements; and, outline the State’s process for evaluating responses and selecting a Construction Manager/General Contractor (“CM/GC”) to provide the needed goods or services.
Through this RFP, the State seeks to procure necessary goods or services at the most favorable, competitive prices and to give ALL qualified businesses, including those that are owned by minorities, women, Tennessee service-disabled veterans, and small business enterprises, an opportunity to do business with the State as contractors, subcontractors or suppliers.
1.1. Statement of Procurement Purpose and Current Project Status
The State is seeking to hire a CM/GC who can effectively partner with the State to perform repairs to the Motlow Tunnel on the State Capitol grounds and provide a permanent solution to ongoing water infiltration problems. The tunnel serves as access between the State Capitol and Legislative plaza for the public and state legislators and must be available for use when the legislature is in session. The following are characteristics that Respondents should be able to demonstrate: 1. Significant experience providing successful pre-construction services, with a particular emphasis on
value analysis and accurate cost estimating. 2. Significant experience in performing demolition, excavation, and construction in sensitive and
congested locations. 3. Significant experience, understanding, appreciation of, and the ability to exercise sound judgment in
preservation of historically significant structures. 4. Prior experience maintaining historical integrity while utilizing modern construction methods to restore
sensitive historical structures. 5. Prior experience working in a government building with similar levels of security.
The Designers for the Project were given the Notice-To-Proceed to begin Design Development (“DD”) Phase effective January 9, 2015. Once complete, the DD drawings will be posted to the website below. DD drawings are preliminary drawings and it is expected changes will be made during the Construction Document (“CD”) phase with the input of the CM/GC. http://tn.gov/generalserv/psm/rpa/RFPwithProject.shtml Early-release documents are required in order to get the CM mobilized in time to commence exterior site work prior to the end of the current state legislative session, so that interior demolition can begin as soon as the legislative session concludes. An early-release CD package to begin demolition is expected to be issued by February 2, 2015. The DD Phase has an estimated overall duration of 90 days, with an overall CD design phase duration of 30 days. The proposer must have a working understanding of all applicable codes required by the State of Tennessee as listed in the Owner’s Designers’ Manual (The Designers’ Manual is accessible online, located at http://tn.gov/generalserv/psm/rpa/DesignerManual14.shtml).
1.2. Project Location
The Project(s) shall be located in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee
2-20-14 RFP
RFP SBC No. 529/005-02-2014 Page 2 of 36
1.3. Project Description, Expectations, and Objectives
The CM/GC’s team will be expected to have significant experience providing successful pre-construction phase services with particular emphasis on value analysis and accurate cost estimating in order to adequately assist the Owner and Designer in identifying and properly evaluating the Project design, details, systems and equipment to ensure the project is maintained within the GMP Target.
Additionally, the CM/GC team shall be expected to have significant experience providing construction services involving waterproofing underground structures and restoration of historic stone structures including site work.
The project will require removal and temporary relocation of the Carmack statue located on the south side of the state Capitol while repairs are being performed to the concrete tunnel below. Stairs and stonework at the plaza at the south elevation of Capitol Hill above the tunnel will be removed, salvaged, and reinstalled after the work is completed. Excavation will be performed to expose the tunnel, which will be partially removed and replaced to include added drainage piping and exterior waterproofing.
Replacement will require excavation of bedrock to 4’ beyond each side of the tunnel in order to properly waterproof the exterior. Stone walls and floors inside the entire length of the tunnel will be removed, salvaged, and stored onsite for reinstallation after waterproofing and additional drains are installed. The portion of the tunnel not being removed (underneath the Capitol) will be cleaned and sealed with waterproofing material, and new drain lines will be installed below the floor prior to reinstallation of finishes.
Installation of adequate drainage will require removal of the existing elevators and escalators and construction of a new machine room. New elevators will be installed as part of the project, and the existing escalators will be removed as required and stored for reinstallation when the work is complete. New HVAC, lighting, and ceilings will be installed, existing bronze doors will be reinstalled, and a new tunnel entrance at Charlotte Avenue will be constructed.
The work requires close coordination with Capitol Hill security staff, and the tunnel must be usable for the public when the state legislature is in session. Therefore, design is being expedited to provide an early- release construction package so that removal of exterior stonework and the Carmack statue and plaza can begin prior to ending the current legislative session, in order to allow removal of interior tunnel finishes to begin as soon as the legislative session ends. Tunnel waterproofing must be complete and tested prior to installation of interior finishes. Work inside the tunnel and new interior finishes must be complete prior to the start of the next legislative session in January, 2016. Exterior work can be completed after the tunnel reopens.
To be considered for selection, the Contractor shall describe specific qualifications as stated in RFP Attachment 6.2., Sections B and C.

5.2. Evaluation Process
The evaluation process is designed to award the contract resulting from this RFP not necessarily to the Respondent offering the lowest cost, but rather to the Respondent deemed by the State to be responsive and responsible who offers the best combination of attributes based upon the evaluation criteria. (“Responsive Respondent” is defined as a Respondent that has submitted a response that conforms in all material respects to the RFP. “Responsible Respondent” is defined as a Respondent that has the capacity in all respects to perform fully the contract requirements, and the integrity and reliability which will assure good faith performance.)
The proposal evaluation will be a two-part process; a Technical Proposal evaluation (containing Qualifications, Experience, and Technical Approach) and a Cost Proposal evaluation. The apparent successful Respondent will be identified by the Qualified Proposal having the highest total combined score in both parts.
5.2.1. Technical Response Evaluation. The Solicitation Coordinator and the Proposal
Evaluation Team (consisting of three (3) or more State employees) will use the RFP Attachment 6.2., Technical Response & Evaluation Guide to manage the Technical Response Evaluation and maintain evaluation records.
5.2.1.1. The State reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to request Respondent
clarification of a Technical Response or to conduct clarification discussions with any or all Respondents. Any such clarification or discussion will be limited to specific sections of the response identified by the State. The subject Respondent must put any resulting clarification in writing as may be required and in accordance with any deadline imposed by the State.
5.2.1.2. The Solicitation Coordinator will review each Technical Response to determine
compliance with RFP Attachment 6.2., Technical Response & Evaluation Guide, Section A— Mandatory Requirements. If the Solicitation Coordinator determines that a response failed to meet one or more of the mandatory requirements, the Proposal Evaluation Team will review the response and document the team’s determination of whether:
a. the response adequately meets RFP requirements for further evaluation;
2-20-14 RFP
RFP SBC No. 529/005-02-2014 Page 16 of 36
b. the State will request clarifications or corrections for consideration prior to
further evaluation; or,
c. the State will determine the response to be non-responsive to the RFP and reject it.
5.2.1.3. Proposal Evaluation Team members will independently evaluate each
Technical Response (that is responsive to the RFP) against the evaluation criteria in this RFP, and will score each in accordance with the RFP Attachment 6.2., Technical Response & Evaluation Guide.
5.2.1.4. For each response evaluated, the Solicitation Coordinator will calculate the
average of the Proposal Evaluation Team member scores for RFP Attachment 6.2., Technical Response & Evaluation Guide, and record each average as the response score for the respective Technical Response section.
The proposal score will be used in the following formula to determine the points
a Respondent will receive for the Technical proposal:
Score for Proposal Being Evaluated X Maximum Technical Points = Technical Proposal Points Highest Scoring Proposal
5.2.1.5. The proposal score for the Technical Proposal section must attain a combined
score of forty-nine (49) points or above in order to be considered. The proposal receiving the highest evaluation score will be allocated the maximum score of seventy (70) points. Before Cost Proposals are opened, the Proposal Evaluation Team will review the Technical Response Evaluation record and any other available information pertinent to whether or not each Respondent is responsive and responsible. If the Proposal Evaluation Team identifies any Respondent that does not to meet the responsive and responsible thresholds such that the team would not recommend the Respondent for Cost Proposal Evaluation and potential contract award, the team members will fully document the determination.
5.2.2. Cost Proposal Evaluation. Cost Proposals will only be considered for those proposals
that have attained a minimum score of forty-nine (49) points or above in the Part One evaluation process. The Solicitation Coordinator will open for evaluation the Cost Proposal of each Respondent deemed by the State to be responsive and responsible and calculate and record each Cost Proposal score in accordance with the RFP Attachment 6.3., Cost Proposal & Scoring Guide.The Cost Proposal containing the lowest total evaluation cost amount for the cost proposal section will receive the maximum score of thirty (30) points. The combined cost points will be used in the following formula to determine the score a Respondent will receive for the Cost Proposal:
Lowest Cost of Qualified Cost Proposals X Maximum Cost Points = Cost Proposal Points Cost for Proposal Being Evaluated
5.2.3. Total Response Score. The Solicitation Coordinator will calculate the sum of the
Technical Response section scores and the Cost Proposal score and record the resulting number as the total score for the subject Response (refer to RFP Attachment 6.5., Score Summary Matrix).
2-20-14 RFP
RFP SBC No. 529/005-02-2014 Page 17 of 36
5.3. Contract Award Process
5.3.1 The Solicitation Coordinator will forward the scores established by Section 5.2.3. above to the proper officials of the procuring agency who will consider the same to determine which Respondent should be recommended for agreement award to the State Building Commission (“SBC”).
The Owner will issue a Notice of Intent to Award. The Notice of Intent to Award date is
detailed in RFP Section 2, Schedule of Events. The Notice of Intent to Award shall not create rights, interests, or claims of entitlement in the Respondent named in the Notice of Intent to Award.
NOTICE: The Notice of Intent to Award shall not create rights, interests, or claims of entitlement in either the apparent best-evaluated Respondent or any other Respondent.
5.3.2. The Respondent awarded the contract by the SBC must sign a contract drawn by the
State pursuant to this RFP. The contract shall be substantially the same as the RFP Attachment 6.6., pro forma Contract. The Respondent must sign the contract by the Contractor Signature Deadline detailed in the RFP Section 2, Schedule of Events. If the Respondent fails to provide the signed contract by this deadline, the State may determine that the Respondent is non-responsive to this RFP and reject the response.
If the Owner determines that a proposal is non-responsive and rejects it after opening Cost Proposals, the RFP Coordinator will re-calculate scores for each remaining responsive Cost Proposal to determine (or re-determine) the apparent best evaluated proposal. The RFP Coordinator will forward the re-calculated scores to the proper officials of the procuring agency who will consider the same to determine which Respondent should be recommended for contract award to the SBC.
5.4. Protest Process
Any protests or appeals of protests pursuant to this RFP or the Notice of Intent to Award shall be handled in accordance with the SBC By-laws, Policy and Procedure Item 18.

1 PRE-CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES
The CM/GC services shall consist of providing Pre-Construction Phase Services (“PCPS”) as required including an acceptable Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”).
Pre-Construction Requirements:
a) Attend weekly project meetings/design review meetings with appropriate preconstruction personnel to provide ongoing input with respect to cost, schedule and constructability to ensure quality, schedule and budget goals are met.
b) Provide pricing information upon commencement of PCPS for the existing construction documents, and then again upon 100% construction documents via a bound report containing a detailed quantity and unit cost take-off of all work necessary for construction of the Project. This pricing information shall be submitted with a complete unit price, material quantity, a total cost itemization, any subcontractor quotations used in the development of pricing, bid tabulation sheets used to evaluate subcontractor pricing, a detailed listing of qualifications and assumptions, a summary listing of any outstanding document inconsistencies, and any potential risks that could impact budget parameters and final delivery of the construction phase of the Project.
c) Concurrent with the submission of estimates as listed, the CM/GC will prepare and submit a schedule using critical path method, or other scheduling method suitable to the Owner, for the construction phase of the Project. The schedule shall be presented with each estimate and shall reflect any revisions in the estimates, which affect the construction time.
d) Value engineering will be an on-going process throughout the Preconstruction Phase of the Project. Value engineering shall be defined as appropriate cost benefit measures to provide the same or equivalent functionality and quality that add value to the project. Upon receipt of documents issued for pricing, the CM/GC will submit a detailed list of value engineering options, the benefit to the project for the each option including initial costs as a part of a life cycle cost analysis. The CMGC will meet and work with the Owner and the Designer in the evaluation of the various options and incorporate selected options into the estimates.
1.1 Project Review
1.1.2 The CM/GC shall meet with the Owner, the Designer and any other design team members to gain a full understanding of the program, the design documents, the Project scope and all other aspects of the Project.
1.1.3 The CM/GC is an integral part of the Project team that will coordinate the development and progress of the pre- construction and construction phases.
1.1.4 The CM/GC may develop written Project procedures, in cooperation with the Owner and the Designer, that will augment the Owner’s Designers’ Manual, as necessary, to be used as a guide for the management and coordination of this Project.
1.2 Consultation During Project Development
1.2.1 The CM/GC shall attend regularly scheduled meetings with the Designer and consultants during the design phase established by the contract between the Owner and the Designer, to advise them on matters relating to site use, improvements, selection of materials, building methods, construction details, building systems and equipment, phasing and sequencing, and cost. During the design work, the CM/GC shall provide a written, detailed coordination, constructability and quality review of all drawings and Specifications, in a form acceptable to the Owner and coordinated with the Designer. This review shall make an effort, to the best of the CM/GC’s ability, to:
a) Identify, minimize and eliminate areas of conflict, errors, omission, and overlapping of the Work to be performed by the various subcontractors.
b) Endeavor to minimize cost and value engineer where appropriate to meet budgets or other Owner needs. Verify basis of design and value-engineering alternatives are compatible for the use and purpose necessary to meet or exceed the designed intent.
c) Allow for phased and/or fast track bid packages as may be required.
By the nature of the CM/GC at risk delivery method, the CM/GC agrees and accepts greater responsibility for coordination and review of the contract documents than may be uncovered through a normal hard bid contract. This obligation is in addition to the diligence required by AIA Document A201, paragraph 3.2.
The CM/GC shall not be called upon to provide advice on legal issues or to engage in the practice of architecture or
Scope of Services and Deliverables State Capitol Motlow Tunnel Repairs SBC Project No. 529/005-02-2014

engineering. The CM/GC’s review of design documents is solely in its capacity as a CM/GC and general contractor, not as a design professional. Such review is limited to issues of constructability, cost, value analysis, and scheduling. The CM/GC is not responsible for design of the Project.
1.3 Schedule
1.3.1 The CM/GC in consultation with the Designer shall prepare, provide, and maintain appropriately detailed pre- construction phase Critical Path Method (“CPM”) schedules utilizing the same standard software that will later be used to develop the Project Construction Schedule. Provide schedule software data and updates compatible with State system Primavera P6.
1.3.2 The Project schedule shall be sufficiently detailed to allow for a realistic projection of design activity sequences and durations. Updated schedules will be required at the end of the Construction Design phase established by the contract between the Owner and the Designer, and after major value analysis decisions.
1.3.3 Within twenty (20) days from the execution of the PCPS contract, the CM/GC is to establish a detailed CPM schedule of the pre-construction phase with the concurrence of the Owner and the Designer. The CM/GC is responsible to monitor this schedule during the pre-construction/design phase, and advise the Owner of any deficiencies in adhering to this schedule by any party.
1.4 Constructability Review
1.4.1 CM/GC shall review the design documents during the pre-construction phase as to constructability. The review shall be conducted and reported following “Uniformat.” With respect to each such issue, the CM/GC shall submit a written report to both the Owner and the Designer. At a minimum, each such written report shall contain:
a) A description of the constructability issue with background information;
b) a summary of the CM/GC’s in-depth study/research including a description of the degree that the design/construction documents have been reviewed; and,
c) written recommendations for addressing the issue.
1.4.2 The CM/GC shall promptly notify the Owner and Designer in writing upon recognizing any features in the design documents that appear to the CM/GC to be ambiguous, confusing, conflicting or erroneous.
1.5 Construction Cost Model / Estimates
1.5.1 The CM/GC shall develop a Project Construction Cost Model/Estimate (“CCME”) that shall be independent from any similar estimate of probable construction cost required of the Designer and shall be updated as needed, but at a minimum at the end of each design phase during which the CM/GC is performing PCPS.
1.5.2 At Owner’s cost, the Owner may request an independent confirming estimate at any phase, or, may request that an independent review of the CM/GC’s detailed estimate be made to generally confirm quantities, costs, or rates shown.
1.5.3 Each CCME must contain a statement of the total amount determined to be the total construction costs for the Project, including alternates, CM/GC construction services general conditions budget, CM/GC construction services fixed fee, and CM/GC contingency.
1.5.4 The Maximum Allowable Construction Cost (“MACC”) is the amount available for construction: GMP target as established by the Owner plus the Owner’s construction contingency. The GMP Target shall include the amount available for construction, the CM/GC construction services General Conditions Budget, CM/GC construction services Fixed Fee, and CM/GC Contingency.
1.5.5 Each CCME and the Designer’s estimate of probable construction cost will be reviewed by the Designer and the Owner for reasonableness and compatibility with the GMP target. The Owner, Designer and the CM/GC will work together to resolve questions and differences that may occur between the Designer’s estimate of probable construction cost and the CCME and to reach a mutually acceptable joint estimate of probable construction cost.
1.5.6 In the event that the Designer’s or the CM/GC’s estimate of probable construction cost exceeds the GMP target, the Owner may direct the CM/GC to continue to provide its pre-construction phase services in conjunction with the Designer’s redesign of the Project as necessary to maintain the Project program within the GMP target; in which case, the CM/GC shall do so without additional compensation. Also, the Owner may elect to revise the Project scope or increase funding.
1.6 Value Analysis
1.6.1 The CM/GC shall, after a complete review of the Project program, review the design documents available at the time of the CM/GC’s commencement of PCPS, and obtain an understanding of the intent of the Owner and the Designer, provide an initial value analysis study within a time frame agreed upon between Owner, Designer, and CM/GC based on available information and offer cost savings suggestions to the Owner. All recommendations shall be in writing, and must be fully reviewed with the Designer and Owner, and approved by the Owner prior to implementation.
Scope of Services and Deliverables State Capitol Motlow Tunnel Repairs SBC Project No. 529/005-02-2014

1.8.7 The CM/GC shall perform the work set forth in this section without additional compensation over and above the lump sum pre-construction fee provided in the PCSP contract.
1.8.8 All costs associated with the GMP are subject to audit at Owner’s discretion. The CM/GC shall keep full and detailed accounts and exercise such controls as may be necessary for proper financial management under this contract. The Owner and the Owner's accountants or other representatives shall be afforded access to the CM/GC's records, books, correspondence, instructions, drawings, receipts, subcontracts, purchase orders, vouchers, memoranda and other data relating to this Project, and the CM/GC shall preserve these for a period of five years after final payment, or for such longer period as may be required by law. Any such audit shall be performed in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Copies of such audits shall be provided to the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury, and the Department of Finance and Administration and shall be made available to the public.
1.9 Contingencies
1.9.1 Owner's Construction Contingency:
a) An Owner's Construction Contingency (“Owner’s Construction Contingency”) will be established. Expenditures against this contingency will be available to cover all costs resulting from modifications not specifically covered in subparagraph 1.9.2 and initiated by the Owner's designated representative and implemented through a modification to the CSA-GMP during the construction phase services.
b) The Owner’s Construction Contingency is not included in the GMP.
1.9.2 CM/GC-GMP Contingency
a) The GMP shall include a construction contingency (the “CM/GC-GMP Contingency”) in an amount approved by the Owner, to help reduce the risks assumed by the CM/GC in providing the GMP for the Project. The Owner and the CM/GC acknowledge that the contingency is included to adjust the estimate for eventualities which have not been taken into precise account in the establishment of the GMP, including, but not limited to, those resulting from
1) the construction documents not being complete at the time the GMP is established, and/or the refinement of design details within the scope of the work and the standards of quality on which the final, approved GMP was based, that were not present in, or, reasonably inferable, from the documents at the time the GMP is proposed, or, are not common industry practice in similar situations or uses;
2) Scope gaps between trade contractors,
3) unforeseen field conditions, circumstances, or other occurrences which a prudent CM/GC would not have reasonably detected or anticipated during the discharge of the CM/GC’s pre-construction duties;
4) Costs due to subcontractor or subcontracted labor disputes that impact the project;
5) CM/GC to provide written justification and relevant substantiating estimate with back-up as visual verification that the fund is being used accurately and correctly. Owner reserves the right to reject use of funds when they are inadequately justified or inaccurate.
b) The amount of the CM/GC-GMP Contingency is the maximum sum available to the CM/GC to cover costs incurred as a result of such unanticipated causes or details. Cost overruns in excess of the amount of the CM/GC- GMP Contingency will be borne by the CM/GC, unless the GMP is adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Owner- CM/GC CSA-GMP. If all of the funds in the CM/GC-GMP Contingency are expended, or, in the event the cost of the work exceeds the GMP and any adjustments as may be due under the terms of this agreement, the CM/GC shall continue to perform at no additional cost to the Owner until the work is complete. The CM/GC shall be responsible for paying all costs, in accordance with the terms of this agreement that may be necessary to complete the work, even if such amounts are in aggregate in excess of the GMP.

2 CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES
2.1 Consultation During Continuing Project Development
Upon acceptance of the GMP, the CM/GC shall continue to advise and assist the Owner and Designer during any continuing design activities as described in Section 1 – Pre-Construction Phase Services, but solely in its capacity as a CM/GC and general contractor, not as a design professional. Such advice and assistance is limited to issues of constructability, cost, value analysis, and scheduling. The GM/GC is not responsible for design of the Project.
2.2 Project Construction Costs
2.2.1 The CM/GC will publicly bid trade contracts in accordance with the established Project schedule. Upon completion of the award process for trade contracts, the CM/GC will summarize the values of all of the subcontracts and compare this total with the budgeted amount within the GMP cost summary. Should the value of the awarded subcontracts be less than the GMP trade contract budget, a reserve fund will be established. The sum of the CM/GC contingency and the reserve fund shall be limited to ten percent of the value of the GMP or a different percent agreed to by the Owner and the CM/GC. Any funds in excess of the ten percent cap will be deducted from the GMP by modification and added to the Owner’s Contingency. The CM/GC may utilize the reserve fund as follows:
a) There are certain uses for the CM/GC Contingency delineated in 1.9.2 above. The CM/GC can only utilize the reserve fund for these uses after the CM/GC Contingency has been expended and upon prior written approval of the Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
b) The CM/GC shall be authorized to use or allocate reserve funds for other purposes only upon mutual agreement that the purpose is appropriate to the Project and to the CSA-GMP, and only with the prior written approval of the Owner.
2.2.2 Unless otherwise provided in the contract documents to be the responsibility of the Owner, or separate contractor, the CM/GC’s construction phase services shall include team management and coordination; purchasing and procurement services; subcontract management and coordination, bid packaging; bidding; scheduling; cost controls and change order evaluation and management; periodic meetings between the Owner, CM/GC and the Designer; site coordination of Owner’s independent consultants such as testing and/or inspection; submittal process management; subcontracting; field management; safety program; post-construction phase close-out process, and warranty period services. All of these services shall be included in the CM/GC’s agreed upon fee and/or general conditions costs. This also shall include providing through itself or its subcontractors, all necessary supervision, labor, inspection, testing, start-up, material, equipment, machinery, temporary utilities, and other temporary facilities to permit the CM/GC to complete all construction of the work consistent with the construction documents.
2.2.3 Upon completion of the CM/GC’s obligations under the CSA-GMP, any and all non-expended funds remaining in the GMP will be retained by the Owner.
2.3. Project Construction Schedule
2.3.1 The CM/GC shall provide a CPM Project schedule utilizing accepted standard computer based software compatible with Primavera P6. The scheduling software shall allow for integration of all aspects of the Project and provide for coordination of all work to be performed. The scheduling software used by the CM/GC shall be capable of producing and coordinating logic developed network diagrams, and tabular format reports. The CPM Project schedule shall be prepared using the preconstruction schedule and the notice to proceed as the start, continuing until the completion of the one (1) year warranty review and completion. The observance of these requirements herein is the essential part of the work to be done, and no direct compensation will be allowed for fulfilling these requirements, as they are considered subsidiary to the work. The CM/GC shall provide an individual, the scheduler (the “Scheduler”), to create and maintain the Project schedule. Scheduler shall be proficient in CPM analysis as demonstrated through certification from Project Management Institute, Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering, or possess sufficient experience to be able to perform required tasks utilizing the software and be able to prepare and interpret reports from the software. Scheduler shall be made available for discussion or meetings when requested. Schedule data compatible with Primavera 6 shall be provided by the CM/GC so the State may load and evaluate the schedule. The schedule shall include activities of other projects adjacent to the site, if applicable, through coordination with the Designer. Utility and infrastructure work may be involved in the project. Those activities shall be included in the schedule, highlighting coordination points with others. Proposed changes in the work shall require schedule evaluation information to aid with project decisions. Do not use negative lags, lags in excess of 10 days, start to finish relationships, open ended activities, constraints, or manually modified dates. The CM/GC shall prepare a schedule of values associated with each item within the scope. The schedule dollar value

Page 7
earned for each activity in the schedule shall be used for the application for payment and cash flow predictions.
2.3.2 After acceptance of the GMP and issuance of a CSA-GMP to the CM/GC for a construction phase of the Project and within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the written Notice To Proceed with construction (NTP), the CM/GC shall submit a preliminary CPM schedule that is consistent with the preliminary schedule included in trade contract bid packages.
2.3.3 The CM/GC shall develop the complete and final CPM schedule in the form of a CPM network diagram using the CM/GC’s logic and time estimates for each segment of the work. The network diagram will be drawn in a level of detail suitable for display of salient features of the work including, but not limited to, the placing of orders for materials, submission of shop drawings for approval, approval of shop drawings by the Designer, delivery of material, and all work activities inclusive of the punch list. Each work activity shall be assigned a time estimate by the CM/GC. One-day shall be the smallest time unit used. Data shall also be provided in Gantt form.
2.3.4 Upon completion of the network diagrams, the CM/GC shall have computer input data prepared, and a computer run made to generate a printout for the Project based on the information supplied. In the event the completion date indicated by the schedule exceeds the contractual date(s), the logic and time estimates used to develop the plan will be reviewed, changes will be made in the logic and time estimates, and another computer run will be made to generate a new schedule. This procedure shall be repeated, if necessary, to provide a plan and schedule to meet the contractual date(s). All submissions shall be both in hard copy and in electronic format. CM/GC shall submit a baseline for approval. The baseline, also known as a target, becomes the benchmark against which performance is measured.
2.3.5 Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written NTP with construction, the final CPM schedule shall be submitted to the Designer and the Owner. This working plan shall show job identification, job duration, calendar dates for start and finish of each job, and jobs critical to the completion of the Project on schedule. All schedule submittals in addition to the electronic P6 compatible native format data shall also include electronic forms including Portable Document File (“PDF”) plots of the schedule. A PDF plot defining the critical path and two-week look ahead shall be submitted in any State approved format including web portal, electronic mail, Compact Disc (“CD”) Rom, Digital Video Disc (“DVD”) Rom, or external drive, etc. Activity durations are created in whole workdays with a maximum of twenty (20) workdays. Durations greater than twenty (20) workdays may be used for non-construction activities with prior Owner approval.
2.3.6 The CM/GC shall review the plan and schedule each month. An updated Project schedule shall be furnished showing actual completed work at the end of each month in respect to the entire Project.
2.3.7 The CM/GC shall provide regular monitoring of the schedule as construction progresses, identify potential variances between scheduled and desired completion dates, review schedule for work not started or incomplete and take the action necessary to meet the required completion date.
2.3.8 Adherence to Schedule:
a) It is the CM/GC’s responsibility to meet the required construction completion date(s) as modified pursuant to Article 8 of the conditions of the contract.
b) If the CM/GC finds that the schedule is likely to be impacted by an action or inaction on the part of the Owner, the CM/GC must review the situation with the Designer and the Owner in a timely manner, and proceed in accordance with the conditions of the contract.
2.3.9 Total Float (“TF”) shall be defined as the number of days from the late finish date (“LFD”) to the early finish date (“EFD”) of an activity. When the LFD is later than the EFD, the total float shall be positive. When the LFD and the EFD are the same, the total float shall be zero. When the LFD is earlier than the EFD, the total float shall be negative. Unless otherwise specified, all references to float shall mean Total Float.
Time extensions shall be granted only to the extent that equitable adjustments for the activity or activities affected exceed or exceeded the total or remaining float along the critical path or activities at the time of the actual delay. The critical path is defined as the longest continuous series of activities through the network to a contract milestone or to contract completion. Where the path to a specific milestone has become negative the critical path shall be the longest continuous chain of activities with the greatest amount of negative float. Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the State or the CM/GC, but is an expiring resource available to all parties, acting in good faith, as needed to meet any contract milestone(s). Time extensions shall not be granted until a delay occurs that is:
a) Beyond the control of and without fault of or negligence of the CM/GC; and
b) Extends the actual performance of the work beyond any milestone(s).

Upon this determination, the CM/GC shall have the right to review all bid documentation from the apparent low bid contractor to verify the scope of the bid. If the CM/GC’s review shows that the low bidder fully accounted for all costs associated with the scope of the work on which it was bidding, and the low bidder fully and strictly satisfies all qualification criteria and requirements established pursuant to subparagraph 1.12.2, then the contract shall be awarded to the low bidder as a subcontractor. If, however, the CM/GC’s review shows that the low bidder failed to account for all costs associated with the scope of the work on which it was bidding or the low bidder is not in full and strict compliance with all qualification criteria and requirements established pursuant to subparagraph 1.12, then the bid may be disqualified with the approval of the Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The CM/GC shall have the right as outlined above to verify the scope and qualifications of each low bidder in the same manner to determine the lowest verified bid from a qualified bidder.
