Board approves construction management contract with Knutson Construction; directors emphasize schedule protections

Tim, the district's project lead, briefed the board on a multi-attachment construction management agreement with Knutson Construction that includes an A133 AIA contract, A201 provisions, RFQ attachments, a purchase-agent agreement to avoid sales tax, equipment-rate exhibits and labor rates. He said the district will use the construction-manager-at-risk model and that staff expect a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) will be developed with the architect; "100% of any savings that they drive is goes to the district," Tim said when explaining financial protections.
