Willard Hall was constructed in 1911 as a residence/dining facility. The current plan is to remove many elements of a 1979 renovation in an effort to restore the facility to its original open corridors and ornate stairs. Beyond the restoration efforts, the renovation will seek to double the current occupancy of the facility; returning it to a traditional freshman dorm with community bathrooms, inclusion of living and learning spaces, and state of the art climate control, lighting, and information technology.

The CLMS building is envisioned to be a 75,460 gross square foot, three story structure, clad in a combination of Hokie Stone, precast concrete panels and trim, and a combination of curtain wall glazing and punched opening windows. The proposed location is in the northern portion of campus that has traditionally been the home of the Corps of Cadets. This building will be constructed on the existing site of the Art and Design Learning Center (circa 1931} which will be demolished as part of this project-with the exception of the basement and associated spaces. The basement underlying the Art and Design Learning Center houses critical equipment and systems supporting the campus central power plant located immediately across Old Turner Street-which is connected by a walkable tunnel. The equipment within the basement and supporting spaces includes boiler feed water treatment tanks and systems, the boiler feed water lab, campus hot water system components and controls, campus compressed air system components and controls, and other essential equipment and piping for the central power plant. The existing central boiler plant equipment underneath the Art and Design Learning Center will remain in service during construction of CLMS. To accommodate the University's boiler plant operations, significant long-span structural systems are needed for the new building. The CLMS building will contain 9,000 assignable square feet (ASF) of office space, 1,800 ASF of testing areas, 8,000 ASF of classroom area, 1,800 ASF of Corps Museum space, 500 ASF of library space, 1,100 ASF of study area, 2,560 ASF of meeting rooms, and 7,200 ASF of area required for other programming needs. The existing basement will be partially renovated and augmented in areas which are not intended to remain intact as part of the University's ongoing central plant operations. Site development will require significant subsurface rock excavation and removal for deep foundations. Mechanical equipment and building automation systems are designed and selected to meet performance requirements and to optimize total costs of ownership. Interior glazing is incorporated for energy efficiency and lighting for academic work. Ceiling heights must be a minimum of 16 feet for sound attenuation in large lecture and assembly environments. Building structural support systems will be necessary to bridge the existing basement of the Art and Design Learning Center building and to accommodate large open and unimpeded interior spaces. Raised floor systems are included for maximum adaptation. High-capacity wireless networks to support multiple devices (laptop computer, tablet computer, smartphone, and other WIFI devices). Power outlets corresponding to the seat/station count and power outlets in common areas. Automated audiovisual and lighting controls are included for all classroom and class laboratory spaces. Climate controlled technology server rooms are 10 feet by 10 feet on each floor of the building. Immediately adjacent to the CLMS building is Femoyer Hall-an academic building that also houses the Student Success Center for undergraduate students and the Naval ROTC unit. Intent is raze Femoyer Hall and replace it with a 300-bed residence hall with supporting battalion administrative spaces. Programmatically, it is extremely advantageous to the university to associate these two buildings into a single project as they synergistically support the strategic growth of the Corps of Cadets by an additional battalion and must be completed together. (Connecting the two buildings to optimize this programmatic association remains a possible consideration and the design process will likely look into the further development of this option). Functionally, it is also advantageous because of the intensity of critical underground utilities infrastructure that resides between and under these two buildings. The primary tunnel for steam and condensate return emanating from the nearby power plant, high voltage electrical duct bank, planned chilled water supply/return, fiber-optic telecommunications trunk lines, and extensive existing storm drainage system are all concentrated in the immediate area between/adjacent to both buildings. An section of the steam tunnel underlying Old Turner Street immediately adjacent to Femoyer Hall is damaged and won't support vehicular traffic; repairs are essential for construction activities necessary for the demolition of Femoyer Hall and construction of the new residence hall and CLMS building. Additionally, the site for both buildings is extraordinarily confined and represents a concentrated "urban setting" in which optimal scheduling would construct both buildings simultaneously. Consolidating these two projects under a single CMaR coalesces the programming, utilities infrastructure coordination, and construction under a single entity and represents the ideal means to meet the strategic growth goals of the university while limiting risk exposure during both design and construction.

The UVA Department of Athletics is redeveloping their existing Athletics Precinct. This is Phase 3 of redevelopment and includes renovation of the Athletic Training Center (McCue) and phased construction of a large addition to McCue for Olympic Sports. This also includes construction of a portion of a wide, landscaped, exterior pedestrian walkway that passes through the building site, existing sports fields, and athletic/ commuter parking lots, to connect Goodwin Bridge at Emmet Street to the sports facilities across Copeley Road. This Project will be located off Massie Road on a very challenging site that slopes steeply down to Meadow Creek that is piped under the adjacent parking lot. The highly concentrated 1-1/2 acre site is located between existing occupied facilities including the Basketball/ Concert Arena, the Indoor Football Practice Facility (Welsh), active athletic playing fields, primary pedestrian routes, a major access road, a parking lot for the existing buildings, and critical utility infrastructure including a 34KV electrical duct bank feeding a significant portion of the City of Charlottesville, major telecommunication/ data lines, and a natural gas artery feeding the UVA Heat Plant. Further, the Phase 2 new Football Operations Center (FOC) will be under construction to the south when this Project starts, and the limits of construction adjoin and overlap with Phase 3 in many areas. The Olympic Sports addition will tie directly into/ share a wall with McCue while it is occupied. Phase 2 FOC was submitted earlier as a multi-building project. Funding was not available for the entire project in a single procurement as originally planned, and this Phase 3 will now be managed as a separate procurement. The two new operations buildings and McCue are planned to contain approximately 200,000 SF of high quality new and renovated spaces. The buildings will include multifaceted cutting edge program space to support student athletes including state-of-the-art lounges, food service, wellness, sport specific needs, academic development areas for individual tutoring, group tutoring, as well as class space for leadership classes, and offices dedicated to academic and career development staff. Sports medicine will be located for easy student athlete access and include numerous hydrotherapy pools, locker rooms, weight training facilities, offices, and classrooms/ meeting spaces. A large all-player meeting space will have specialized audio-visual systems, player demonstration space, and an automated partition divider. To accommodate these spaces, the structural system will be more complex to allow for longer clear-span spaces.

The University Hospital, originally designed and constructed in the late 1980s, is a Level 1 trauma center and provides over six hundred inpatient beds, procedural and operating rooms, specialized diagnostic services, and a myriad of support functions. During the last ten years, the UVA Medical Center has made major investments in critical infrastructure systems supporting the UVA Hospital, including the recent addition of the South Tower. However, with the growth in patient volume and advancements in the clinical uses of MRIs, existing MRI facilities have exceeded their operating capacities and the University needs to improve and expand them. One important clinical advance has been in Focused Ultrasound (FUS), used in combination with MRI, which the FDA has approved for treatment of essential tremor and Parkinson’s Disease, and which has seen a growing clinical practice at UVA.At the completion of the South Tower, the Interventional Radiology suite moved to the new tower, vacating its space adjacent to the existing MRI suite, presenting the opportunity to expand the MRI suite, as well as to reconsider the planning of the large Radiology Department as a whole, leading to the creation of a new Master Plan. The current Project includes the addition of one new MRI (#4), shell space for a future MRI (#5), and associated functions. The Focused Ultrasound and MRI Expansion is the first of a series of projects contemplated by the Master Plan.The existing MRI suite and portions of other adjacent spaces (e.g., Guided Ultrasound, Radiology Clinic, patient prep and recovery spaces) on the first floor of the hospital will remain operational for patients and staff. The CM firm will be responsible for make-safe operations and coordination with occupied spaces adjacent, above, and below, prior to any demolition activities, and throughout the construction process

In June of 2022, the University Board of Visitors added a project to the 2022 Major Capital Plan for the Biotechnology Institute (Institute). The 2018 Fontaine Master Plan had identified sites for new research and clinical facilities in distinct neighborhoods. The proposed Institute will be located adjacent to other research buildings at the UVA Fontaine Research Park in one such neighborhood to create synergies, complementing and expanding the research laboratories, vivarium, and core facilities already existing in this area on the southwest corner of UVA Grounds. Enabling projects for the Institute include the new Fontaine Central Energy Plant & Utilities (FCEP&U) Project to provide thermal utilities (plant and distribution) for existing facilities and the new Institute. These two extraordinarily complex projects will be designed in parallel, and the FCEP&U will help inform the Biotechnology building’s design team regarding mechanical design conditions. The Biotech project will likewise inform the FCEP&U regarding initial heating and cooling demands. Thus, there will need to be significant coordination between the two separate design teams to ensure that the critical thermal energy systems are in place exactly when needed to support the new Biotechnology facility.The Institute will be a 5 to 6 story facility of 270,000 to 300,000 GSF. The facility is currently anticipated to include flexible, modular, multi-use experimental research and support space to accommodate a broad range of disciplines; a cGMP manufacturing core; a vivarium; an advanced imaging core; and conferencing, seminar, and building amenity space. The proposed new facility will enable the University to catalyze cutting-edge research capable of creating new and innovative clinical therapies, making Virginia a national leader in research discovery, translation, and clinical care. It will accomplish this by expanding the overall research portfolio at UVA; developing translational “cores” including cellular therapy, gene therapy, viral vectors, and drug delivery technologies among others; significantly enhancing UVA’s infrastructure for entrepreneurship, innovation, and translation; investing in clinical trials infrastructure and new facilities; and recruiting new, experienced faculty and research scientists to the Commonwealth. The ability to translate these discoveries to clinical therapies serves as an engine for regional and statewide growth and development. Patients with access to clinical trials benefit by receiving new and innovative therapies, and the most up- to-date clinical care.

The estimated construction cost of this project is $40,000,000 for a 108,000 sf, four story
building. The residence hall includes a series of two-bedroom, one-bathroom semi-suite dwelling units providing a
total of 406 beds, and will also include a limited number of one-bedroom units for resident
advisors and students who prefer to live alone. A small number of shared amenity spaces include a
multi-purpose room and shared laundry on the first floor, and lounges and study spaces on all
floors. The building geometry is simple and all floor plans are relatively similar with dwelling
units utilizing redundant floor plans on each floor. Critical to this project’s success is
maintaining an aggressive schedule. In the past year, VSU has utilized leased facilities including
hotels to accommodate the demand for student residential housing.
These measures have been expensive and operationally inefficient for the University so providing
permanent housing in the timeliest manner possible is a top priority. The Design-Build process
provides the best strategy for avoiding the uncertainties that can hinder this project’s schedule.
The Design-Build team will collaboratively develop a project schedule that identifies long - lead
items and those construction packages that have the greatest impact on timely completion of this
project. Because of the aggressive schedule for this project, the Design-Build team can employ
options and methods that navigate long lead times. For example, the design-build team can create
early release packages that ensure that when long lead items are shipped to the site they can be
installed without delay. The pre-qualification process for procurement of the Design-Build team
will help ensure that a fully qualified team with a demonstrated ability to deliver projects of
similar program and size on tight schedules is selected. Equally important is controlling costs.
The design-build procurement method allows the university to select a qualified contractor for a
fixed price that incorporates cost saving ideas. Because the design-build team will be selected
at the onset of design, unnecessary costs and escalations can be avoided early in the process.
This will provide a best value scenario for the delivery of this project. The design-build
approach that assigns construction and design duties to a single point of contact will result in
the cost and time efficiencies needed for this project. This collaborative approach promotes
more interaction between team members and task coordination while streamlining communications and
decision-making. For example, the contractor can review constructability reviews throughout the
process with the architect and provide continuous feedback to the team thus avoiding expensive and
time-consuming stops and starts. Given the project type (Residence Hall), construction value,
simplicity and repetitious nature of the design, and the urgency of delivering the building in the
most expeditious manner possible, the University has determined that competitive sealed bidding is
not practicable or fiscally advantageous for this project.

The West Woods Phase 2 project is an $81.7 million residential development located on the existing Randolph Complex site, adjacent to the West Woods Phase 1 Housing and Dining project (opening fall 2025) and wetlands that include a Resource Protection Area (RPA). The Phase 2 project will have various environmental, sustainable, and logistical complexities. Furthering the Commonwealth’s goals, W&M has a rigorous carbon neutrality plan, and this project is pursuing extremely ambitious water and energy use targets. The design team is exploring the feasibility of utilizing a geothermal wellfield for the mechanical strategy. With the procurement of a CM, financial feasibility of systems integration to meet sustainability goals will be decided early on. The CM will also be critical in the careful coordination and subsequent installation of the wellfield around the existing site utilities and natural features within a biodiverse setting that William & Mary faculty utilize as an outdoor laboratory and research space. The University's pursuit of a campus arboretum as a living classroom requires tree conservation and root protection for the mature trees and rare species of plants on site that support our biology and science labs. The CM will consult on site logistics and evaluate costs related to building placement and elevation related to the existing grade. The site experiences a drastic topographical change between the adjacent West Woods 1 development and the wetlands, therefore the CM can provide mitigation strategies for erosion and sediment control and tree protection while preserving the features of West Woods 1 development to save project costs. The CM must also address the feasibility of connecting to and maintaining existing accessible pedestrian pathways between critical parts of campus during construction, ensuring that students have continuous access between the residential area of campus and the academic buildings to the south of the ravine. During design, the CM will provide valuable strategy and logistics in preparation for the demolition of 8 existing buildings and underground utilities, including the careful removal of hazardous materials. According to the geotechnical report, the site contains an extensive amount of fill soil. Due to these conditions, design phase soil evaluation and site excavation will be required to confirm constructability and building structure methodology. Early cost assessment will also save project costs associated with unsuitable soils. Given the complexity of managing a multi-phase residence hall neighborhood that ties into the natural living & learning landscape, we believe it is in W&M’s best interest to deliver this project with a Construction Manager. This project will also need to conform to a strict timeline developed as part of the university’s Housing and Dining Comprehensive Plan, which was approved by the Board of Visitors in April 2022. To comply with that plan, this residential development must be online by Fall 2027 and will necessitate early packages for the demolition of the existing 8 buildings as well as for sitework and underground utilities. William & Mary desires use of CM at Risk as the delivery method to address Construction Cost, Project Timeline, Project Phasing, Project Complexity (driven by unique site requirements and constraints), VE and Constructability analyses, and the need for cost and design controls.

This project will have two distinct phases. The first will be the demolition, shoring, and required dewatering for the existing Pocahontas building, including both the 6 story East structure built in 1962 and the 14 story West Tower built in 1923. Demolition will require main utility services to both east and west structures to be cut and capped for use in new facility. The demolition will have a high level of complexity as it is adjacent to the fully operational Commonwealth Hotel. The project has frontage on four operational streets: Main Street, 9th Street, 10th Street, and Bank Street; as well as close proximity to Capitol Square and the Federal Court of Appeals. The new high-rise building construction phase will include major construction activities adjacent to the operational Commonwealth Hotel and zero onsite laydown area. Deliveries to the site will be difficult and require diligent coordination due to the location. The building will include underground secure parking, areas of higher finish standards for Court Rooms and Judge/Justice chambers, and enhanced security measures. Having a CM onboard during the design phase will be critical to the design and construction phases in coordinating services and logistics for demolition and new construction activities. A CM can review the existing conditions and work in conjunction with the design team to create more efficient and optimally coordinated demolition plans as well as new construction plans for work in close proximity to the Commonwealth Hotel and adjacent City of Richmond Streets. This coordination and planning will aid in minimizing risk, schedule, and overall project cost. The CM input will also be critical in developing early cost models, constructability reviews, managing the budget, prequalifying key trades and coordinating Value Engineering process not only at Preliminary Design Phase but also at Schematic and Working Design phases as well. With current market volatility, labor shortages, and supply chain delays having a CM on board to assist in cost control and effective planning will be a crucial part of the preconstruction, demolition and construction phases.

Construction Management (CM) at Risk procurement is recommended for the new VCU Residential Life and Housing facility project for the following reasons:• Complex and challenging nature of the building site – The proposed facility footprint is surrounded by multiple privately-owned apartments and retail facilities as well as City of Richmond streets and a public alley with heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Additionally, the parking and entry points for the apartments and retail facilities will need to be maintained throughout the project. The density of venues immediately adjacent to the site make this area highly congested with traffic and pedestrians. Proper site logistics and early project preparations will be critical and help minimize disruptions. • Complex utility relocations, upgrades and sequencing –With the facility location being in an historic city, the density of active and abandoned utilities is extreme. The utilities associated with this project are significantly more complex to incorporate into the project sequencing and impactful to the schedule and cost. Elements of previous structures, active utilities, and abandoned unknown utilities will likely be encountered. Operational and financial investigation and planning will need to be coordinated with the construction partner to address all the potential issues that may be identified in a cost- effective manner. The site, as previously noted, is tight which means that there will be significant existing utilities that must be relocated. This may include:o Altering and incorporating the emergency generator that serves the VCU Technology Operations Center and must remain within the building footprint.o Relocating a main VCUNet fiber optic trunk line that is located beneath a building that will be demolished. o Addressing overhead primary power distribution lines along the alley. o Revealing abandoned existing sanitary branch lines and other utilities that would require exploratory excavation.• Value management/constructability analysis – VCU Residential Life and Housing, the department associated with the project, is an auxiliary department (i.e., an independent and self-funded department that does not receive state appropriated funds) and must strategically manage their assets to be able to continue to provide their services. . This means that costs must be properly managed from the onset of the project by a vested construction partner to reduce the possibility of overruns which could result in a reduced scope due to limited funding. A construction partner managing costs decreases the risk of cumulative impacts as they work closely with the trades. Their familiarity with the trades could help avoid schedule delays resulting in increased costs and help mitigate burdens to sub-contractor resources caused by recurring pricing efforts potentially leading to contractor fatigue and less competition. The timely completion of a residential life facility is a key to the success of this project. On-site construction should be scheduled to take place during breaks in the academic calendar (i.e., summer and winter break) for continuity of operations and to limit impacts to students. This project would benefit greatly by engaging with a CM who is familiar with working with a higher-education institution and could effectively conduct a pre-construction analysis of the project and the complexities that could potentially impact the schedule. • Minimizing disruptions to adjacent classrooms, laboratories, residence living spaces, neighbors and the public – The proposed location of this facility is located close to several academic and residential facilities – VCU Honors College (a seven-story facility with classrooms, laboratories and student housing), Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU and the new VCU Technology Operations Center (data center, network operations and telecommunications hub) – and several privately-owned apartments and retail community partners. It is also located along two major thoroughfares (Broad Street and Grace Street) with heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic. As such, it is crucial to minimize the impact of the project on VCU operations, vehicular and pedestrian traffic, our neighbors, and local business and not hinder public safety response (EMS, fire and police). Engaging with a CM during pre-construction can coordinate strategic planning of construction efforts and maintenance of traffic to limit impacts.Summary - Due to the complex and challenging factors above, we strongly recommend working with a CM that has expertise with managing complex projects in a similar urban setting. The leadership and expertise of an experienced CM would have significant financial, operational and safety benefits and be critical to navigate the potential complexities of this project.

Old Dominion University has determined that the use of competitive sealed bidding for this project is neither practicable nor fiscally advantageous based on the following factors in order of priority, as follows: Complexity of building and system designs in supporting lab and other space types:This project requires an unusually varied assortment of spaces with widely disparate requirements, a mixture of undergraduate research labs, collaboration spaces, motion capture labs, wet/dry labs, high bay spaces, performing arts auditorium, etc. This wide assortment of space types require complex utility services within a height limited building, achievable only through careful coordination of architectural, MEP, and structural designs through all design phases. Because of the decreased availability of land on the campus, the design phases will require significant evaluation and input to determine the building footprint size as well as the height. The required systems to support the various functions/uses of the building impacts the floor-to-floor dimensioning, as well as the potential for both cost impact and increased complexity of construction should design surpass the city imposed 75' limit for the highest occupied floor. The inclusion of a qualified construction manager for this project at an early stage of J design will significantly assist in the development of a well coordinated, least-cost, least-height, and readily constructible design.Building Site: The site location has been selected to be connected to the existing Engineering Systems Building and adjacent to the existing Perry Library. The site will be tightly constrained with minimal laydown area requiring just in time material deliveries. This site will require extreme care to maintain safe pedestrian passage around the construction site as it is in a prominent part of the campus. Contractor logistics and coordination will be critical for this project so to not interrupt campus operations as well as specific building functionality of Lions Child Study Center, Batten Arts and Letters, Perry Library, Gornto Hall, and the Engineering Systems Building. Also, building in the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area for storm water management requires a contractor fully experienced in erosion and sediment control as well as experience in construction Best Management Practices (BMP) or other more advanced stormwater management practices. Input during design from a construction manager will provide a better understanding of how the site will be managed, including laydown areas and trailers as this will impact calculations for land disturbance and stormwater management during design. Construction: Given the challenging nature of the compressed and active campus site as well as the extensive technical and management coordination required, selection of the builder should not be based on price alone as expertise, experience, and coordination capability are major factors to ensure a successful project. Pursuit of LEED certification will benefit from CM constructability and budget reviews.

The university must occupy and maintain continuity of operations at the CVM facility throughout construction. The facility supports approximately $20M of animal surgeries per year, which must continue. Continuity of operations will be extremely challenging given the daily functions and critical nature of activities that occur in a teaching hospital. Maintaining functionality of all building systems and services and carefully orchestrating shutdowns and utility tie-ins will be critical to life safety, regulatory compliance, and client/student experience. The Construction Manager (CM) will be engaged early in the Schematic Design Phase and will be required to fully understand the CVM’s operations as well as regulatory requirements of renovating an occupied medical facility. This information will inform design decisions, sequencing of work, and overall cost to deliver the work. Construction within hospital/lab environments is extremely complex due to building systems necessary in that type of facility. Complexity is multiplied when the facility must remain operational. Dealing with this complexity requires an understanding of constraints. Careful and early planning is critical to manage noise, vibrations, dust/debris, utility interruptions, deliveries, and day-to-day operations. To this end, the project will require multiple phases to maintain operations, each of which could include temporary installations. The CM will be required to develop building and site logistics plans as well as phasing plans during design to inform schedule, sequence, number of phases, need for temporary installations, and general design decisions. As stated, hospital/lab building systems are more complex in their function and installation due to the function they serve. The existing CVM facility is the end result of many smaller projects constructed over several decades. This has resulted in various systems from different eras. This only amplifies the complexity. CM input during design will inform how new and existing building systems are integrated, how and when they are constructed, and what the cost implications of various solutions are. Construction Costs/Value Engineering: The CVM has secured advancement funds to construct this much needed project and delivering the project within budget is critical. Current market conditions for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) work are currently unstable. A significant percentage of the project’s construction cost is MEP-related. Having market driven cost data from the CM to inform the design will greatly improve the probability of hitting the target construction budget. In addition, it’s almost certain Value Engineering (VE) will be necessary to align with the target budget as the design develops and the existing building is better understood. CM support of the VE process is superior to a purely designer-led VE process due to their connection to current market conditions.

As a valuable member of the project team for this iMricate facility, the CM would assist the university in adopting a proactive approach by enhancing the architects' understanding of the real conditions of the building and site. This includes managing costs, supporting logistics, ensuring quality control, and addressing supply chain challenges during the •Construction phase. Their involvement will lead to greater cost efficiency, promote safety, and improve overall coordination in a complex and constrained job site. The multifaceted nature of this project indicates that we meet the criteria for Agency Reasons for the Utilization of a Construction Manager at Risk. Investigate and Exploratory Measures: during the design phase. The proposed new project will have a pedestrian bridge connecting to the existing building that was constructed in 2016. The road adjacent to the site contains a spider web of existing underground utilities. The College of Health and Behavioral Studies is the largest college on campus so it is imperative that the college and surrounding areas are functioning throughout the construction process. Having ·a CM on board early will allow them to perform invasive exploratory to expose any structural ·challenges connecting the new pedestrian bridge to the existing building and plan the coordination of underground utilities to ensure the existing campus is continually functioning throughout the construction. To help expose and resolve unforeseen conditions and damages, the CM will work with the design team to develop the drawings to prevent unnecessary cost1y change orders. Proactive Analysis: during the design phase will assist the Construction Manager in minimizing expensive delays caused by changes during the construction period. This approach addresses the financial impacts of supply chain shortages, such as those related to electrical switchgear, overall material sequencing, and design objectives, thereby reducing the risk ·Of mstly lost days resulting from construction delays. Safety & Protection: due to the proximity to a significant campus thoroughfare and one of the most heavily trafficked pedestrian zones on campus renables the CM to -effectively manage and ensure that designated fire lanes remain unobstructed. This appoach supports access to the buildings in the vicinity while prioritizing the safety of pedestrians. Tight Site Constraints & Site Logistics: the new building's footprint occupies the entirety of the proposed site, creating an urban atmosphere characterized by the proximity of asphalt and concrete, with minimal green .space ,available. Given the restricted access to both the site and its surrounding area, it is crucial for the Construction Manager to effecth1ely plan and oversee operations in this densely populated zone. The CM must meticulously manage this confined footprint to facilitate demolition, new construction, and deliveries, ·all while ensuring that fire lanes remain unobstructed. The intricate nature of the new building, which must conform to the limitations of the site, along with the sophisticated building systems typical of a healthcare facility, necessitates that a Construction Manager effectively plan and coordinate the sequencing and installation of these complex systems within the constrained sne.

Competitive sealed bidding is not practical or fiscally advantageous for this Project. This Project scope will impact about 50% of the steam capacity of the plant. The construction site will be within the fence of the operating plant. Due to the impact to plant steam capacity during the Project, the construction must be phased over several summer (non-heating) seasons and all boilers and balance of plant systems must be fully operational before the start of each heating season. The construction process cannot disrupt production of steam and hot water including materials delivery, fuel delivery, employee access, maintenance, compliance testing, and renewal of assets not impacted by the Project. The Plant receives consumable materials and maintenance supplies daily. The Project must coordinate work such that the delivery of the chemicals, parts, and other supplies are not disrupted. The Plant also receives fuel oil during the heating season on an as needed basis and the receiving of fuel oil cannot be impacted. The transition off coal will require well executed planning to have available coal, lime, and ash removal as long as boilers are fueled with coal. The CM will be responsible for coordinating deliveries and access to facilities throughout the duration of the Project as the Project site includes the entire Plant operations site. A CM will be critical for significant complex tasks including: • Developing and executing viable, efficient, multi-phased construction phasing plans that will need to meet extremely critical deadlines to keep the Project on schedule while maintaining Plant operations.• Required preconstruction coordination with the design team and UVA operations staff to ensure continuity of operation of the Plant. The design will have to consider the optimal release of construction packages to allow the construction to occur with the least impact to Plant operations. The CM will be responsible for developing the construction drawing package phasing to minimize impact to operations and optimize the construction schedule.• Mitigating construction traffic and delivery impact in this highly congested area. The plant is located adjacent to Health System facilities and a busy commercial district (The Corner). Scheduling deliveries of construction materials and removal of demolition debris to minimize the impact to the Health System operations, University events, and commercial activity is critical. The CM will be responsible for this coordination. These complicating factors require a responsive phasing and logistics plan coordinated closely with the design team, the Department of Energy and Utilities, Physical Plant and Operations, and the end-users. This complex Project will gain significant plant operations benefit, schedule reliability, and an improved final product, from bringing a seasoned CM team on board early during the design process.

As demonstrated below this project's significant complexity make competitive sealed bidding neither practicable or fiscally advantageous. Project Complexity, Phasing, and Building Use:This project will renovate administrative space to vivarium and wet laboratories without interruption to ongoing cancer related patient care. Due to the existing specialization of the facility, there are no other viable locations for these clinical efforts to relocate. The Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center, centrally located in heart of VCU Medical Campus adjoined to VCU’s North Hospital and Interstate 95. The facility is fronted by the main patient access to both Massey Cancer Center and North Hospital. With infrastructure requiring pathways to the roof through occupied floors, preconstruction services to understand constructability, phasing of systems installations, and basic construction logistics is essential to the success of this project. Additionally, the sensitivity of the environment and complexity of the work will require a comprehensive prequalification effort to ensure the trades have the resources and experience to be successful. Cost/Value Management through Design: With the known high cost of laboratory and vivarium facilities coupled with challenging logistics and highly complex systems the input during the design from the construction market is necessary. This project will require confirmation that system components will be available with the required elements to support a phased installation and ensure limited disruption as unforeseen issues pose potential risk to patient care. With preconstruction support, It is likely that early work efforts will need to be implemented to properly vet and procure long lead equipment as well as providing onsite investigations.

The university has progressed with the procurement of the design team for the new student housing project. The Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) delivery method as compared to Design/Build and Design-Bid-Build, is necessary for James Madison University’s new student housing project due to an expedited timeline and the complexity of the program integrating multiple uses within a single facility. The project will combine a mix residential function for both upper classman and freshman, as well as complex academic and community components. Project Timeline: Given the 16-month construction timeline, CMaR represents the sole viable method to meet the accelerated project completion date. Should the deadline be exceeded by even a single day, it would lead to a delay of an entire year, resulting in significant financial losses for the university, amounting to millions in lost revenue. Coordination during the design phase is necessary to enabling crucial input on constructability, project phasing, and the selection and procurement of long lead items. As this facility will incorporate multiple DOAS units and chillers, which typically have lead times of 30 to 40 weeks, along with electrical equipment such as switchgear, switchboards, transformers, emergency generators, and fuses that require 40 to 50 weeks for delivery, it is imperative that the construction manager selects and procures this equipment early to adhere to the expedited schedule. In contrast, the design-bid-build approach necessitates that contractors provide shop drawings for this equipment as part of their bidding process. Project Complexity: JMU's new student housing facility will feature a mixed-use building; levels 2-5 will consist of a blend of traditional single, traditional double, and suite-style units catering to both freshmen and upperclassmen. Each floor will include pod-style bathrooms, laundry facilities, lounge areas, and academic study spaces. Approximately one-third of the ground floor will be designated for residential units; however, the majority will serve alternative purposes, such as mechanical, public, and academic spaces for the College of Integrated Science and Engineering (CISE). CISE will house a groundbreaking high bay research lab on the ground floor, the first of its kind. This lab will incorporate various design features to support a wide range of engineering and research activities, contributing to a highly intricate design for a residential facility. The complexities of residential and lab occupancy separation, fire and life safety will be of utmost importance. Design features will include large overhead doors leading to the exterior, trolley cranes for handling materials and equipment, a wind tunnel, hooded hot work/welding and machining stations, cleaning stations, a band saw station, and an acoustics lab. The lab will offer multiple multi-use and physically adaptable workstations. The generation of significant heat, sparks, and hazardous fumes from welding/hot work and the use of harsh chemicals for cleaning necessitates advanced fire protection, grease interceptor, ventilation, and exhaust systems—all of which will be flexible and adjustable based on the specific tasks at hand. The lab will be equipped with physically adaptable fume extraction and dust collection arms to eliminate harmful fumes and particulates from the workstations and surrounding air. These systems will be integrated and coordinated with the overall building systems and pre programmed through Building Automation Systems (BAS). The development of a residential facility that incorporates a distinctive academic environment, like the high bay CISE lab, necessitates a degree of design and coordination that exceeds standard practices. It is essential to prioritize and finalize the lab's MEP design at an early stage. Mitigating noise and vibration will be of paramount importance. Given that the lab will feature advanced and intricate HVAC systems, specialized equipment, and increased acoustical standards, it is crucial to make these decisions, coordinate the systems and procure items early to account for long lead times. Site Constraints: The new student housing facility will be located directly beside the recently constructed Jennings Hall and existing University Boulevard – a major thoroughfare for the City of Harrisonburg. During the construction of the new student housing facility, the City of Harrisonburg will be undergoing a major reconstruction project to straighten University Boulevard as a means to streamline traffic through this section of the City and university. University Boulevard is the only road serving the new student housing site; careful coordination between a construction manager and the City will be critical to minimize scheduling and delivery conflicts between the university’s housing project and city-managed roadway project. Construction for the new student housing project will also be occurring over two academic school years, requiring a well-coordinated and sequenced/phased schedule to minimize disruptions to surrounding facilities and students. Coordination during the sequencing, design and logistics phase will dramatically decreases any negative impacts this capital project could have on the university and surrounding community.

VMI has determined for the subject project that competitive sealed bidding is not practicable or fiscally advantageous and that it is in the best interests of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the Virginia Military Institute to pursue a Construction Manager at Risk (CM@Risk or CM) project delivery method. With an estimated project budget of over $24 million, this is a large and complex project involving work in and around historically sensitive buildings, battlefields, exhibits and art work. The complexity and historical sensitivity of the project is compounded by work in the Bushong House and the five outbuildings where special sensitivity, expertise and protections are required to maintain these in their 1860s state. Adding to the complexity is the fact that the VMCW has never been renovated in its’ 50+ year history and will require special expertise to bring MEP, IT and A/V systems into the modern era while protecting, relocating and renovating or repairing priceless exhibits, firearms, artifacts and original works of art. Additionally, construction of all-weather roads, trails, interpretive points and pull off areas around the battlefield appears straight forward but will be abnormally high in complexity and historic sensitivity due to the hazard posed by unexploded ordnance, the near certainty of encountering expended ordnance or military artifacts and the requirement to execute construction to minimally disturb the battlefield and enhance the visitor experience. Due to the sensitive nature of the area, we are planning an Archeology Level II survey which could result in plan changes. This project will also require intricate phasing as the museum and battlefield will be open to visitors to the greatest extent possible during construction. This means we will have phase exhibits in and out of service, relocate staff from the museum and maintenance buildings and do phased openings/closings of various facilities and areas as the project progresses. Next, as we have seen on prior projects, market rates for everything from materials to labor and equipment rentals are highly volatile. Failure to have a CM on board early will cost us valuable time and resources if we have to rebid the project or take on an extensive VE effort – all of which we can with a CM on board during Schematic Design phase or earlier. Having the CM on board early willl help us control cost through their participation in a VE process, making cost saving recommendations as to constructability and construction means and methods and also being involved in changes required as a result of an anticipated Archeology Level II survey of the area. Finally, the current state of the interior of the building requires us to update existing ramps, hallways, exhibit areas and points of interest/observation points to meet current accessibility standards that will benefit from early CM involvement with constructability reviews. Given the complexity, historical sensitivity and unique nature of the site in addition to the volatile construction pricing we request early construction firm involvement.

CM at Risk procurement is recommended for this Project primarily due to the following issues: Complex & Challenging Nature of the Building Site - the site is at a prominent and busy intersection within the Ivy Corridor development area and is highly constrained. The selected building site is tightly bounded by the existing Rothery and Ivy roads to the west and south, existing daylighted waterway infrastructure to the north, and an adjacent occupied building to the east, with additional buildings nearby including the existing operating parking garage, new Virginia Guesthouse (hotel and conference center), and new buildings under construction including the Karsh Institute of Democracy, the Ivy Corridor Student Housing buildings, and a private 10 story housing development. The new Performing Arts Center (PAC) located directly northeast of the site across the stream is also anticipated to be under construction during the construction of SDS-E. During construction, site access, material deliveries, and hoisting/ staging materials have been identified as challenges. Construction site logistics including laydown area and protection of surrounding uses including stream and pond waterway infrastructure are priorities that will have cost and schedule impacts.
High Volume of Vehicular & Pedestrian Traffic in Area -there will be a significant pedestrian, faculty, staff, student, and guest presence in the areas immediately surrounding the new SDS-E building site described in the above paragraph. The site constraints will require a significantly increased frequency of material deliveries and staging, construction traffic, and roadway lane closures. This substantially increases the potential for conflicts and is one of the reasons why a CM firm with a dedicated onsite safety team provides great value to the project to help manage the various anticipated interactions between pedestrians and vehicles and the construction activities for this project. Methodical planning and coordination among the various CM teams working in the precinct and the UVA teams operating the recently occupied buildings will be critically important to construction traffic management, minimization of site conflicts and disruptions to the adjacent residential neighborhoods and the University, and reduced impact to vehicle and pedestrian traffic travelling along Ivy and Rothery Roads. The CM teams will need to be diligent in coordinating with each other and UVA concerning their building's respective material deliveries, lane closures, staging areas, utility relocations/ outages, and fire access since these project sites and occupied buildings are immediately adjacent to each other with little to no laydown or staging area. Regular coordination meetings between the CM teams and UVA will be needed to ensure that pedestrian and vehicular lane closures are coordinated between the projects, the UVA community, and outside agencies as needed, such as the City of Charlottesville Engineering Department, as well as coordinating the various utility outages that will be needed for the nearby occupied buildings for electrical and chilled and medium temperature hot water services. The CM teams will be tasked with working together to develop and recommend the timing of these outage requests and overall outage schedules to minimize the impacts to the nearby buildings to the maximize extent possible.
Multi-level Overhead Connector Bridge Planned Between SDS-E & Existing SDS -the bridge will allow for a pedestrian connection on the upper levels of both buildings. This scope will require detailed CM constructability analysis and execution to integrate the bridge structure and architecture into the existing SDS structure and architecture, which will require demolition to a section of the exterior of the building fully occupied by SDS staff, faculty, and University students. The CM will be responsible for analysis ensuring that appropriate measures are taken to minimize the disruption to the occupants of SDS, as well as to provide safe and secure construction barriers and closure limits between the occupied areas of the building and the extent of the Project's construction. Complex Central Utility Relocations, Connections, & Sequencing-the site has a high ground water table with complex underground utility infrastructure systems located between the SDS-E and SDS sites, as well as between the SDS-E building and Ivy Road. Outages to the existing SDS will need to occur as these utility relocations and connections are being made to both UVA and City of Charlottesville (Coe) owned infrastructure. Specific examples of utilities in SDS that will be affected by construction of SDS-E include relocation of the critically important UVA electrical transformer and switchgear equipment and associated outage, which will require extensive coordination with the contractor and the potential need for temporary equipment to maintain power and overall operations to the adjacent occupied SDS building. The design team is still working through the exact details of this relocation with the UVA Energy & Utility department to determine the extent of the relocation and outage that will be required. The Project will benefit from having a CM team on-board to assist with the constructability and sequencing of the outage, as well as the logistics of evaluating the need to bring in temporary electrical equipment to ensure that SDS can maintain its regular building operations during this potentially extended outage. Examples of additional utility connections that will be needed for this building include the chilled and medium temperature water systems (UVA), domestic and fire water (Coe), and sanitary sewer (Coe).
Cost/ Design Control & Value Management (VM)/ Constructability Analysis -the Project will need to go through a rigorous VM process to ensure that the scope is aligned with the construction budget. A CM with a robust and comprehensive approach to preconstruction and VM is invaluable throughout this process. Additionally, identifying and procuring critical components and long-lead items will help mitigate against escalating costs and schedule delays. Requirement for Minimal Disruption to Adjacent Classrooms, & Administrative & Hospitality Spaces - construction must occur without disturbing e3ducational programming and operations. Specifically, the adjacent garage accommodates the daily parking of approximately 1,200 vehicles total, with 135 of those spaces dedicated to guests of the Virginia Guesthouse, which will be operating continuously with 215 guest rooms, large conference and event spaces, plus two restaurants and a dedicated UVA Welcome Center. Additionally, the Karsh Institute of Democracy, also adjacent to the site, will start operating as an Academic Facility that provides academic, research, staff, and public spaces with auditorium, multimedia, and even spaces for students and other guests. The Emmett Ivy Garage will remain active throughout the duration of this Project. Rothery Road serves as the primary entrance and the only exit into and out of the garage and is the western boundary of this site. Ensuring that the operation of the existing parking garage and adjacent roadways can be unaffected by the Project's construction activities will require a substantial and intricate phasing strategy during construction. Summary - Due to the complex and challenging factors itemized above it is believed that the Project will gain significant financial benefit and added value by engaging with a CM that has expertise with complicated projects in similar environments. CM expertise and leadership under contract early in the design phase will be critical in navigating the Project Team through the expected complexities of this Project.
