The contractor will also have opportunity to provide pricing for the geosynthetic liner supply and installation services. The City may decide to pursue alternative means to procure the liner supply if determined more economical to do so. This project is essential to the health, safety and welfare of the public and critical operations for the City.
Rummel Construction, Inc. will begin in an agency support role for Construction Manager at Risk Preconstruction Services. Rummel Construction, Inc. will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price Agreement.
Rummel Construction, Inc.'s Preconstruction Services include, but are not limited to: providing cost estimating and knowledge of marketplace conditions, project planning and scheduling, construction and scheduling that will minimize interruption to City operations, alternate systems evaluation and constructability studies, advising the City on ways to gain efficiencies in project delivery, long-lead procurement studies and initiating procurement of long-lead items, and permitting processes.
Rummel Construction, Inc.'s initial Construction Services will include preparation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal provided under the agreement and participating with the City in a process to establish a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for the project. Rummel Construction, Inc. will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements. Rummel Construction, Inc. will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City's subcontractor selection process.
