PROGRAM/CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT (P/CM) <br />Although there are a number of P/CM approaches, the one under <br />consideration would involve separate selection of a Program <br />Construction Manger, Architect, and Construction Company. The <br />P/CM and Architect would be selected through the CCNA process. <br />The P/CM provides management of the project and assumes <br />responsibility .for cost schedule and quality control during all <br />phases. The P/CM is totally involved as the County's agent from <br />design to completion. A three -party team of the owner, P/CM and <br />architect approach is used to insure a more economical and efficient <br />project is the final result. A contractor is selected through the <br />County's normal bidding process. Some advantages and disadvantages <br />to this concept are: <br />Advantages <br />1. Special construction skills will be used during design <br />and construction of the project. <br />2. Independent evaluation of costs, schedules, performance <br />and changes, helps insure decisions made in best <br />interest of the County. <br />3. Opportunities for cost control and value engineering <br />are significantly increased. <br />4. Adversary relationships are replaced with a team <br />approach. <br />Disadvantages <br />1. County delegates some project control. <br />2. county is required to fulfill certain responsibilities <br />in a timely manner. <br />3. Success depends on the planning, scheduling, estimating <br />and management skills of the construction manager. <br />Estimated cost—of the concept is 4 to 6 percent of construction <br />figure for P/CM, 7 to 8 percent for Architect, and 3 to 4 percent for <br />Contractor's profit. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff has evaluated each of the concepts described above in an effort <br />to determine which would be the most beneficial and most economical <br />for the Courthouse project. In the process, extensive discussions <br />have been held with contractors, architects, construction management <br />firms, design build firms, University of Florida Engineering <br />Department, and other interested parties. Similar projects were <br />visited., contract documents and specifications reviewed, together <br />with results of application of the various concepts. All the data <br />received from these various operations have indicated that a complex <br />project such as a courthouse would best be designed and constructed <br />using the Program Manager/Construction Manager concept. During <br />design, special interest groups, i.e. judges, clerk of the court, <br />state attorney, etc., will be providing a tremendous amount of input <br />to accommodate their needs.
