EJCDC CMAR-990: Construction Manager at Risk Full Set (2023)

The Construction Manager at Risk method of delivering
projects evolved from traditional design-bid-build by involving the construction
contractor early in the project. The CMAR delivery process adds value by (1) having
the contractor involved in the design phase of the project, by performing
services such as constructability reviews, providing advice on material
availability and selection, estimating and scheduling, assessment of risk
factors and mitigating strategies, development of procurement strategies, and
organization of the work into efficient work packages; (2) taking advantage of opportunities
for early procurement of materials and equipment, especially in volatile
markets; and (3) starting construction before the design of the entire project
is complete (fast tracking).

The CMAR delivery method has been widely used on
private-sector construction projects for many years and is currently also being
used on many public-sector projects. The new EJCDC CMAR Series is suitable for both
public and private work. The series features several documents used for the
project owner’s selection of the CMAR, such as a model Request for
Qualifications, Statement of Qualifications, and Request for Proposals. The EJCDC
CMAR selection process is flexible enough to allow either a purely
qualifications-based selection, or a two-step process in which qualifications
are used to establish a short-list of qualified CMAR candidates, which are
requested to submit proposals that include prices for the CMAR Fee (which will
be applied to the Cost of the Work) and for certain defined cost categories,
such as Construction Support Costs (sometimes referred to as “general
conditions costs”). EJCDC supports the price proposal process with standard
spread sheets to be completed and submitted by the short-listed proposers.
