Leonard Water Treatment Plant Phase III; Project No. 101-0653-24; Resolution No. 26-36; Request for Authorization to allow use of Alternate Project Delivery Method
end
SUBJECT
recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 26-36 authorizing the use of Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR) project delivery method for the Leonard Water Treatment Plant Phase III expansion project.
end
PURPOSE
The use of the CMAR delivery method will provide best value to NTMWD given the multi-phased construction approach for Leonard Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Phase III expansion. CMAR project delivery provides a distinct advantage of early identification and procurement of major construction materials and equipment that have traditional long lead times for configuration approvals, fabrication, and delivery to the project site. Items with long lead time specific to this project include process equipment, large diameter pipes and valves. This delivery approach allows the procurement process to progress concurrently with the detailed design, which helps compress the project's schedule. Using CMAR for the Leonard WTP Phase III expansion will promote cost certainty and cost transparency for NTMWD while leveraging CMAR inputs during the design phase to identify and manage project risks.
RECOMMENDATION
The Executive Director and NTMWD staff recommend the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 26-36, "A Resolution authorizing the use of this alternative delivery approach in accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 2269, Contracting and Delivery Procedures for Construction Projects."
