Kluczynski Federal Building (JCK) Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Counsel Consolidation Project in Chicago IL. This project is for the renovation of 35,000 square feet, on the 17th and 19th floors, to meet the needs of new customers who will be relocating to the building. The project includes the build-out of office space, support areas and upgrades to existing electrical, HVAC, lighting and fire safety components.

The overall responsibilities of the CMc are to perform construction management services relating to constructability, construction strategy, logistics, and budget control during the Design Stage services component, and (upon exercise of the Construction Stage work option) to perform the construction in accordance with the construction documents and other requirements under the Construction Stage work component. The contractor is to provide all management, supervision, manpower, equipment and supplies necessary for this project.

Definition of Construction Manager as Constructor: A CMc contractor is defined as a firm engaged under direct contract to a building owner or client (in this case the GSA) to provide services such as design review, cost estimating, sustainability review, scheduling and general construction services. The services requested of the CMc shall cover a wide range of design and construction activities which are often performed by both Construction Managers (CMs) and General Contractors (GCs). In contrast to a CM that is not also a constructor; the CMc is at risk and is involved with project development and administration of the construction. The CMc shall be a member of the project development team during the design and construction phases, working with the A/E and the Government to ensure a quality project, within the mandated schedule and budget. The CMc contractor will perform services including, but not limited to: evaluating design concepts, monitoring A/E progress, coordinating design reviews, reviewing designs, reviewing and preparing cost estimates, controlling schedules, keeping records, reporting on design and construction progress, conducting Value Engineering (VE) exercises, conducting constructability reviews, constructing the facility at or below the Estimated Construction Cost at Award (ECCA), administering the construction contract and all subcontracts, coordinating construction meetings, CPM scheduling, monitoring construction costs and performing administrative and other services as defined in the scope of work to provide for a completely functional facility. There are two components of work to be performed under this Contract: Design Phase Services and Construction Phase Services. The Contractor is required to complete the Design Phase Services for the firm-fixed-price set forth in the Contract Price Schedule.
