The scope of work will generally consist of: • Preconstruction services including schedule, budget, and constructability advice during the project design phase. • Providing cost estimating for all project phases. • Construction scheduling and phasing. “Fast-track” components of construction prior to full completion of construction documents in order to maintain budget and/or schedule. • Managing bidding and construction phases. • Enter into contracts with contractors to construct the building. • Developing, negotiating, and maintaining guaranteed maximum price (“GMP”). • Being an integral part of the Owner/Architect/CMAR team. • Closing out the project. Racine County and its design consultant developed a preliminary facility design and feasibility study for the new Public Safety Building. The County currently provides public safety services at 14200 Washington Avenue Sturtevant and 717 Wisconsin Avenue in the City of Racine. The new Public Safety Building is being designed to replace the existing facilities and to meet the County’s present and future public safety needs at a single location. Racine County has retained the services of Ramlow Stein + TreanorHL (“Architect”) for architectural and engineering services for the project. The non-self-performing Construction Manager at Risk (“CMAR”) will be engaged throughout the remainder of the planning process to provide input on constructability and cost. Upon completion of the final design, the CMAR will oversee the bidding phase and provide construction management services through the building phase and completion of the project. The actual construction work on the project shall be awarded through competitive bidding as required by Wisconsin Law. The CMAR, in general, shall have primary management responsibility for the project and shall coordinate all project matters. As such, the CMAR shall serve as the County’s principal point of contact and liaison between the Architect, contractors, and other consultants and vendors throughout the project.
