Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to renovate the existing North Mountain Park set in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. It is a popular park that serves as a trail head for hikers and walkers while also providing some more traditional park amenities like picnic areas and a playground.
Valley Rain Construction Corporation will begin in an agency support role for Construction Manager at Risk Preconstruction Services. Valley Rain Construction Corporation will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price agreement.
Valley Rain Construction Corporation's Preconstruction Services include, but are not limited to: detailed cost estimating, project planning and scheduling, construction phasing, alternate systems evaluations, constructability studies, long lead procurement, protect the City's sensitivity to safety and environmental factors, advise on green building materials, and participating with the City in a process to establish a Small Business enterprises (SBE) goal for the project.
Valley Rain Construction Corporation's initial Construction Services will include preparation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal provided under the agreement. Valley Rain Construction Corporation will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements.
