CM/GC Projects: Gaining Ground

■

■

• Tribes in all States can have CM/GC projects. 

• Some States may limit using State funds for CM/GC 

projects.
• Cahuilla Band of Indians, CA.............. 16 projects.

• Pueblo of Acoma, NM: 1st Contract.... 9 projects,

2nd Contract.... 6 projects.

• Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma............... 13 projects.

• Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead 

Reservation, MT ..... 8 projects.

• Gila River Indian Community, AZ -

Sacaton Road Bridge.

• Kenaitze Indian Tribe, Alaska -

Kenaitze Education Building.

• Pueblo of Jemez, NM – Currently considering CM/GC.

• Kawerak, Inc., Alaska - Currently considering CM/GC.

Tribes & Consortiums with CM/GC Projects
• Owner* has/gets a Project Lead to run the CM/GC process.

CM/GC – A Team Approach

• Owner hires Project Team at start of design phase:

• Designer (DM),

• Independent Cost Estimator (ICE),

• Construction Manager (CM) – part of CM-GC Firm.

• Team works with the Project Lead (owner’s rep)

* Note: “Owner” is the Tribe, not the facility owner.
Comparison: 

Design-Bid-Build CM/GC

* GMP = Guaranteed Maximum Price submitted by the CM. 
The Project Team:

• Works together to reduce risks & costs. 

• Meets from start of design thru end of construction.

• The CM works with the Designer to:

o Provide constructability, solutions, and innovation.

• Project Team accelerates delivery time:

o Plans are shortened and streamlined.

o Parts of a Project can be built earlier than the rest.

Advantages of CM/GC
It can be, if any of these apply:

• Large enough Project (or Project Suite) for CM/GC 

savings to offset cost of the ICE, CM, & Project Lead.

• Project is complex - with high or unknown risks.

• Need innovative design and construction solutions.

• Quick delivery of multiple Projects is desired. 

• Tribe has, or gets, a good Project Lead person.

Is CM/GC the Right Fit 

for Your Project(s)?
• Tribe’s larger Program:

o Transportation projects in Tribe’s TIP;

o Water, sewer, buildings, etc. planned;

o Projects not funded yet; 

• Competitive grants, etc.

• From these, the Owner selects Projects for the 

CM/GC Project Suite:

o Ask for public and Tribal Government input.

o Good to have the ICE on board to help with selection.

Total Budgeted Cost 55,000,000.00

• Include Project Suite in the CM-GC Firm RFP & contract. 

• Cannot add more projects after contract is awarded.
• Provides independent “Cost-Based” estimates.

o Not an Engineers Estimate. 

• Evaluates the GMP for price fairness;

o Advises Owner to accept or reject the GMP.

• Provides Project schedules to compare with CM’s.

• Tracks Project risks and costs. 

• Tracks time reductions & design innovations 

enabled by CM/GC.

The Independent Cost 

Estimator (ICE) – Role:
• A GMP is a fixed price offer to construct a Project.

• Owner asks the CM to submit a GMP at about 

60-90% design completion for a Project.

• The CM guarantees the GMP will not be increased 

during construction. 

• The GMP should include a contingency fee for changes; 

o Unused balance returns to Owner for other work 

in the “Project Suite”.

• GMP can include a TERO fee.

Guaranteed Maximum Price

(GMP)
Owner compares GMP to the ICE’s independent estimate;

• If GMP price not acceptable to Owner, 

o Owner is not obligated to 

have the Project built.

o May have another contractor build it.

• If GMP price is acceptable to Owner,

o Owner executes a contract 

with the CM to build the Project.

o Then the CM becomes the 

General Contractor (GC). 

CM/GC “Bid” Process
• The Project Team meets, 

as needed, 

during construction; 

o To support any Project 

changes, and 

o To find cost-cutting 

opportunities.

• The ICE continues to provide 

pricing and scheduling 

support.

CM/GC & TERO

• Over 12 different TERO workers have been employed throughout ALL the projects

• 3 TERO workers continuously working

• 850 Hours worked

• 75% of the workers on ALL the projects have been Native American

• 5 out of 8 of the CM/GC sub-contractors have been Native American owned companies 

• 95% of employees of the CM/GC on the projects are Native American

• The CM/GC and Independent Cost Estimator (ICE) companies are both 100% Native 

American Owned companies

• The Design company was recently acquired in a merger which negated being a Native 

American owned company; 2 of their 5 subs are Native American owned companies.

• Using local businesses for materials (rock, concrete, wood, etc.)

• TERO sending people to Construction training (i.e. Flagger, OSHA, etc
Guaranteed Maximum Price 

(GMP)

• The CM/GC Team works together to 

create a Guaranteed Maximum Price 

(GMP).

• The GMP is validated with numbers 

generated by Independent Cost 

Estimator (ICE).

• When we agree the numbers line up we 

execute the GMP.

• There could be multiple GMP’s per 

project. (Ex. 1st Street Safety – 4 GMPs 

to date)

THE ABC's OF

THE GILA RIVER (SACATON ROAD) 

BRIDGE REPLACEMENT

FHWA Tribal Transportation CM/GC 

Roundtable Webinar
The Justification for 

Replacement

• 140-foot 4 Span Bridge built in 1961

• Structurally Deficient 

• Functionally Obsolete

• Bridge Rating Score of 36 out of 100

• Sacaton Road carried over 5000 vehicles 

per day
Why use CM/GC Contracting 

Method

AADT ~5100 • It forces you to Build Trust with Your Partners up Front

• It allows Flexibility with the Design

• It can help Reduce or Redistribute Reduce Risk

• It can Breed Innovation

• It can Streamline Delivery

• It can Generate Cost Savings and/or Time Savings

So how did we do these things at Gila River?
Team Selection, Partnering, and 

Trust
Flexibility

– Revisited our Bridge Selection Report

– Generated new Alternatives/Approaches

– Utilized Matrix Evaluation (helped with decision 

making) 

– Carried GMP through Alternatives Analysis 

– Risk Identification (most Important) 
Risk Reduction, and Constructability 

• Lateral Slide Precast Mini Girders

• Common Themes During Evaluation

– Temporary Supports

• Minimize Throw-away

• Mitigate Risk (River Flows)

– Keep it Simple

• Use available tools vs. buying/making expensive new ones 

(something you can only get if your contractor is in the room 

during alternatives analysis and final design)
Risk Avoidance

• Risk Identification

– River Flows

– Materials / Techniques / Safety

– Long-term Performance

• Risk Evaluation & Allocation

– Value to project

– Clear understanding of risk assignment and cost implications
Innovation

• Slide System – Keep it Simple

– Steel on Steel (Lithium Grease or Dish Soap)

– No Bearings to Walk

– Simple Fabrication

– Standard Bearing Plate – Salvage/Reuse

– Undertook with small Hydraulic Jacks
Streamlined Plans and Aggressive 

Delivery

• May 2014 – Initiated CM/GC

– Type/Approach Selection

• July 2014 to August 2014

– Final Design Production

• September 2014

– Final GMP / Contract / Final Plans & Detail

• October 2014

– Commence Construction

• March 2015

– Completed Construction
Time savings

• Some Quick “Figures”

– Bridge Capital Cost (GMP) – $2.75M

– Contingencies/Allowances - ~$0.3M (8%)

• Traffic Impact

– 9 days + 1 weekend vs. 4-6 Months Closure

• 14-22 weeks saved

– 700K vehicle miles vs. 6M to 9M traveled

• 5M to 8M vehicle miles saved
User Savings

• Traffic Impact

– 3 hours vs. 24 to 36 hours user time

• 21 to 33 hours savings per roadway user

– $0.2M vs. $0.9M to $1.4M

• Lateral Slide vs. Detour (User Fuel Only Cost)

• Savings $0.7M to $1.2M
