The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (“DASNY”) seeks proposals from Construction Managers to provide professional construction management services during construction phases of the project for SUNY New Paltz, Capen Hall, using a Construction Manager-Build (“CM-Build”) project delivery method. The project is located at 1 Hawk Dr, New Paltz, New York 12561 (the “Project”).
A CM-Build project delivery method is similar to a Construction Manager-at-Risk project delivery method, in that the Construction Manager is involved during the design phase of the project, procures the construction phase trade contracts, and manages the construction phase of the project. However, in a CM-Build delivery method, a Guaranteed Maximum Price is not provided prior to bidding the trade packages, rather a Maximum Contract Price (“MCP”) is established after the Construction Manager procures the trade packages. The CM-Build Contractor is a Construction Manager who will contract with DASNY to submit an MCP.
