Board discusses CMAR contract with Pitts Design Build; questions raised about timing and TBD costs
Summary
The board reviewed a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contract from Pitts Design Build and asked whether cost entries and signing would be finalized after design and site decisions are complete.
Board members discussed a CMAR contract from Pitts Design Build that was circulated to the board. A member asked who determines the timing for filling in cost items and fees labeled "TBD," and whether the contract is signed now or later when design and location are finalized; the board chair said the contract would likely be pulled and filled in after design is decided.
A questioner asked, "Who determines when to be determined is the time that we need to fill in any of their fees or project costs?" The board did not record a completed vote to finalize the contract during this meeting; staff said the CMAR pricing was based on estimates and that final percentages will be set once design and location are decided.
