Intent to Conduct Alternative Selection Process - EC/CM and MC/CM

Skanska USA Building, Inc. is hosting a public hearing on September 22, 2025, at the City Hall in Vancouver, Washington, to discuss the potential use of an alternative subcontractor selection process for the City of Vancouver's Public Works Operations Campus project. The focus is on determining whether the project qualifies under RCW 39.10.385 to employ the Electrical Contractor Construction Manager (EC/CM) and Mechanical Contractor Construction Manager (MC/CM) approaches. These methods involve engaging critical subcontractors early in the design phase to facilitate detailed construction scheduling, input on design and constructability, coordination of contract documents, logistics planning, cost estimation, and procurement of long-lead equipment, all aimed at enhancing project efficiency and coordination. The project, with a budget estimated between 50 million and 150 million dollars, is part of a solicitation initiated by the City of Vancouver, Washington. The process emphasizes the importance of involving specialized subcontractors during the design stage to optimize construction planning and execution. The public hearing provides an opportunity for stakeholders to review and comment on the proposed alternative selection process, ensuring transparency and adherence to state regulations governing construction procurement methods. Additional details and updates related to this project can be accessed through the city's official procurement portal.
