Choose a Delivery Method:

Collaborative-Design-Build

This delivery method is a hybrid of the CMAR and DB. In the Phase 1 agreement, the owner and Design-Builder collaborate to develop a set of Design-Build documents and a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) based on those documents and a Phase 2 Design-Build agreement as a product of the scope and GMP developed in Phase 1.

Construction Manager At Risk

This delivery method requires a construction manager (CM) to provide preconstruction services (Phase 1) for the design and a separate construction contract (Phase 2) to deliver the project. The design team develops the construction documents with the information provided by the owner and the CM at Phase 1. The CM commits to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) developed throughout Phase 1.

Design-Bid-Build-Major

This is the traditional method of project delivery. It involves three phases: a linear design, bidding and construction. Construction documents are developed first by a design entity. Documents are competitively bid and the project is awarded to the contractor with the lowest price who is qualified, responsive and responsible.

Design-Bid-Build-Minor

Design-Build

For this delivery method, the owner awards a single agreement for design and construction after selecting a project solution through a best value project competition.

TOCA Collaborative Design-Build

This construction contract procurement method is used for performing multiple projects as individual tasks under a single master enabling agreement. Each task can be executed as either a Construction Manager at Risk (CM TOCA) or a Collaborative Design-Build (CDB TOCA) delivery method.

TOCA Construction Manager at Risk

This delivery method is used for performing multiple projects as individual tasks under a single master enabling agreement (MEA). Each task can be executed as either a Construction Manager at Risk (CM TOCA) or a Collaborative Design-Build (CDB TOCA) delivery.

Job Order Contracts

This construction procurement uses an annual contract with a prequalified contractor to accomplish minor capital outlay maintenance, repair or improvement projects by utilizing a construction task catalog for pricing. Design services are typically separate from the JOC contract.

Construction Manager At Risk Steps

Forms for Construction Manager At Risk

Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) is a delivery method in which services of a construction manager(CM), a licensed contractor, are used to provide preconstruction services (Phase 1) to inform the design and a separate construction contract (Phase 2) to deliver the project. The design team develops the construction documents with the information provided by the owner and the CM at phase 1. The construction manager will commit to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) that is developed throughout Phase 1.

Architect: The owner will execute service agreement(s) with design entity/entities to develop the construction documents as well as well as provide construction contract administration services during the construction phase. There is no contractual relationship between the design team and the CM.
CM: The owner will execute a preconstruction services agreement with the CM for the Phase 1, including cost management, detailed estimating, constructability reviews, and scheduling during the design phases of the project as described in the Request for Proposals (RFP). The owner may execute a separate construction agreement with the CM for the construction phase (Phase 2).
Construction Procurement: The Phase 2 will incorporate the developed GMP for the agreed scope, schedule, and cost of the construction work. The CM shall commit to the GMP for the agreed scope, schedule, and cost of the construction work.
