The document summarizes a city council meeting presentation on Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) #7 for a clean water facility project. It includes an overview of the GMP #7 scope, which includes deep concrete work. Hoffman Construction, as the GC/CM, recommends performing the concrete work through negotiated "heavy civil" means rather than competitive bidding to gain greater schedule and cost control. Data is presented comparing the proposed heavy civil rates to industry standards and bids to demonstrate the proposed rates are reasonable. The council is asked to authorize signing GMP #7 with Hoffman for $9,355,968 plus sales tax for the concrete work.
