The comprehensive scope of work includes HVAC and roofing updates, as well as modifications to the fire alarm and intercom systems and general painting. The project is divided into a pre-construction phase, focusing on cost estimation, value engineering, and design analysis, and a construction phase scheduled to take place from May 22, 2027, to July 27, 2027. The contract will be structured as Actual Cost plus a percentage fee, with the fee ranging between 8.0% and 12.0%, not to exceed a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) that must be issued by the CM/GC no later than 90% through the design phase.
