SECTION I. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION

A. Purpose:

This Request For Proposal is meant to provide prospective firms with sufficient information to enable them to prepare and submit proposals for consideration by the Gila River Indian Community (GRIC) for the preconstruction and construction services to the Community for the replacement of the Sacaton Road (Route 7) bridge over the Gila River (the Project).

B. Introduction:

The Gila River Indian Community is issuing a Request for Qualifications to provide Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) services. The resulting award will be one contract for preconstruction phase services. After Preconstruction phase services are completed with an acceptable Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and final design, a Contract for Construction services will be issued for the Project. Offerors interested in providing CM/GC services, herein referred to as Construction Manager (CM), will partner with the Community’s design team on this Project. In addition to aiding the preconstruction process, the selected CM will be asked to prepare and submit a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the labor, equipment, and materials that will be required to construct the project. After successfully agreeing on the construction contract amount for the GMP, a contract will be executed. The CM will function like a General Contractor and will be responsible for completing the work on schedule at, or below, the guaranteed maximum price for that scope.

If the GMP is not accepted, the Community, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to end the CM's participation in the project development process at any time during the preconstruction phase. Although the selected CM will be contracted for both the preconstruction and construction services of this project through this selection process, the selected CM is not guaranteed to receive a Construction Contract to perform the construction if services are terminated. The CM/GC process for the Project will consist of the following: Request for Proposal (RFP) for preconstruction services, evaluation of submittals and selection of the CM, award and execution of contract for the performance of preconstruction services.

C. Location:

The Gila River Indian Community is located in Central Arizona in Maricopa and Pinal Counties. The reservation is south of the Phoenix metropolitan area divided by Interstate



7

10. The reservation contains approximately 372,000 acres (581 square miles) of which about one third lies in Maricopa County and remainder in Pinal County (Tribally-owned land account for about 26 percent). A majority of the land is held by the Federal Government in a Trust status. The Tribal headquarters is located in Sacaton, Arizona, which is about 30 miles southeast of Phoenix. The Tribal government is made up of elected officials who consist of a Governor, Lieutenant Governor and seventeen members of the Community Council. For governmental purposes, the Reservation is organized into seven districts. The Gila River tribal transportation system includes 445 miles of tribal, state and county roadways.

D. Project Information Project Description

The GRICDOT has completed a Final Design for the proposed project that was developed for a traditional design-bid-build project delivery method. The drawings and specifications are attached hereto for reference. The GRICDOT will be replacing the Sacaton Road (Route 7) bridge over the Gila River and intends to build upon the work that has been completed to date by incorporating proven Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) methods and details and the CM/GC project delivery method into the project in order to reduce onsite construction time, minimize traffic and Community disruption, improve the overall bridge quality and reduce the project’s cost. Once completed, it is intended that the technology gained from this project can be showcased and applied to other bridges in our inventory. The existing 142’ x 28’ prestressed concrete girder bridge was constructed in 1961 and was classified as structurally deficient with a sufficiency rating of 34.3. Since 1999, this structure has been closed four times due to water overtopping the roadway adjacent to the bridge. The intended replacement structure will consist of a two-span structure with a total length of 145’ and width of 53’2”. It will include precast concrete abutments, columns and pier caps, and include a modular superstructure (beam and deck combination). This application will provide the GRICDOT a unique opportunity to effectively use and promote ABC for rapid renewal of bridge infrastructure. The bridge replacement is intended to increase the structural capacity of the bridge, improve roadway conditions, and enhance safety by providing a wider roadway. The bridge was originally designed to be constructed with a planned 6 mile detour (ADT = 4200) with an estimated construction duration of six months. It is anticipated that the



8

redesign using ABC techniques and standardized design details developed by the FHWA under SHRP2 will allow the replacement to be completed within weeks. This project may be selected to host a showcase for the project to exchange project details and lessons learned with peers. GRICDOT will also prepare a summary report and provide the perspective of using the SHRP2 methods and resources at regional and national events. Existing Project Conditions Sacaton Road (IR 7) is a 2-lane, north-south road and a primary access route for local travel to and from Sacaton. IR7 and the existing bridge crossing over the Gila River low flow channel provide important access for members, employees and visitors to the Gila River Indian Community. Land immediately adjacent to the existing bridge is undeveloped. Land immediately south of the existing bridge is generally agricultural. The existing topography is relatively flat with the terrain falling toward the Gila River and to the west. IR 7 is a two-lane paved road with dirt/gravel shoulders. The existing pavement contains transverse and longitudinal cracks with areas of alligator cracking. The road has been resurfaced a couple of times over the years. The roadway is symmetric in section about its construction centerline. The southbound and northbound lanes are 12-feet wide and have 2-foot wide outside shoulders. The road is normally crowned with a 0.02 ft/ft cross-slope. The bridge is the highest point in the road profile as it crosses the river. The roadway north of the bridge is engineered to serve as a long low-flow crossing. This segment of road has a concrete embankment protection apron that extends from the north end of the bridge to River Road, a distance of over 4,000 feet. The 30 foot wide apron covers the downstream (western) roadway embankment for this entire length and protects the road from erosion that would result from high Gila River flows. The road experiences relatively frequent overtopping resulting in road closures. Based on bridge as-built drawings, and survey information with respect to the depth of the superstructure, the existing bridge consists of a 4-span precast girder superstructure with a composite concrete deck that is supported on wall piers. The current, existing structure replaced a 16-span, 336 foot long timber bridge that was skewed 35 degrees right of the roadway centerline. The existing bridge is skewed 45 degrees right of the roadway centerline. The bridge crosses over a well-defined low-flow channel within the Gila River and constricts flows under the bridge with railbank abutment protection. The original bridge was designed and presumably constructed with guide banks on both abutments. The guide banks were constructed of ADOT standard rail bank protection with an embedment depth of only 3.0 feet below the design streambed. Presently only remnants of the railbank remain under the existing bridge and it is visibly damaged.



9

Based on bridge inspection information, the existing Gila River Bridge is rated in poor condition and its barriers/approaches do not meet current standards. In addition, the existing bridge width does not meet current AASHTO standards. The existing bridge is at the end of its 50-year design-life. The most recent bridge inspection information reveals that the condition of the bridge has steadily deteriorated over the past 20 years to the extent that the bridge deck is rated in Serious Condition (rating is 3 out of 10), the superstructure is rated in Satisfactory Condition (6), and the substructure is rated in Poor Condition (4). Project Site Access and Constructability The project site will be accessed from within the roadway and bridge right of way and temporary construction easements. Provisions for a temporary construction access road into the Gila River low flow channel have been included in the project plans and specifications and the configuration has been coordinated with the environmental documentation prepared for the project. Environmental Resources The Gila River Indian Community Department of Transportation is completing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental documentation for the project. Environmental resources or concerns present or potentially present in the project area include protection of migratory birds; compliance with a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit and Section 401 water quality certification obtained for the project; obtaining a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and developing and implementing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP); developing a hazardous materials testing, removal, and disposal plan for lead present in the bridge bearings; a National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) notification to the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality; protection of groundwater, if encountered; advanced public notice of road closure and detour information; and allowing authorized emergency vehicle use of the construction access road. Design Parameters and Criteria The primary technical design criteria used in developing the structural aspects for the project are the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials’ (AASHTO) “LRFD Bridge Design Specifications”, Sixth Edition, 2011, and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Bridge Group’s “Bridge Design Guidelines”. Additional guidance and criteria were derived from the Federal Lands Highway (FLH) Project Development and Design Manual (PDDM, March 2008), the Indian Reservation Roads Program Delivery Guide (FHWA-WFL/TD-08-005) and the Bridge Technology page on the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) website



10

(http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/bridge/). Concrete tension stress limitations for this project are in accordance with the AASHTO specified limits. The primary technical design criteria used in developing the roadway aspects for the project are the AASHTO “A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets” (Green Book), Sixth Edition, 2011. Additional guidance and criteria were derived from the FLH PDDM, March 2008. Roadway criteria used are described in the following table.

SECTION II OVERVIEW OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGER/

GENERAL CONTRACTOR (CM/GC)



18

SECTION II. OVERVIEW OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGER/GENERAL CONTRACTOR (CM/GC) The purpose of this section is to describe the key elements for this delivery method. Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) is an integrated team approach that applies the CM's professional management during the planning, design, and construction of a project. CM/GC forms a partnership with the Owner, Design and Inspection Professionals, Construction Manager/General Contractor and Subcontractors. The partnership minimizes project risk, expedites the project schedule, maximizes innovation and constructability, enhances quality, and significantly reduces costs to finish construction and the overall project well within the budget constraints. The CM/GC delivery method facilitates openness, trust, and transparency among team members. CM/GC provides real-time costs, schedule, and constructability input to deliver a high quality project significantly under budget and ahead of schedule. CM/GC produces the following results:

• Increased innovation; • Enhanced project quality; • Ability to compare and price different project solutions through the

design process; • Significant cost savings by identifying real-time project costs

throughout the design process; • Continuous constructability recommendations throughout the design

phase; • Time savings by fast-tracking early components of construction prior to

completing the entire design; • Rapid adaptability to changing conditions and additional project

requirements during both design and construction; • Early procurement of long-lead items; • Close coordination of 3rd party issues (utilities, permits, ROW, etc.,);

and • Reduced project risk.

Preconstruction Phase

The Preconstruction phase sets the ground work for all the critical relationships, partnering and communication necessary to prepare the project for construction. During this phase the CM oversees the project's constraints to effectively manage the scope, schedule, and budget. Preconstruction services consist of addressing and managing agency desires that may vary from: the scheduling, estimating, bidding and procuring labor and materials, to supporting early public outreach, coordinating environmental permits, or developing relocation plans for businesses and landowners.



19

Typically preconstruction continues until the last work package is approved and released for construction. Construction Phase This phase begins when the team releases its first work package for construction. Typically construction consists of multiple work packages. The CM retains management of the project as well as acting as prime Contractor (GC) delivering the labor, equipment and materials to complete each work package successfully. The initial project team and structure remain intact throughout both phases. Construction services consist of purchasing, on-site and off-site construction and fabrication of components, contract administration, and general implementation of the contract requirements through project closeout. The CM runs frequent progress meetings and produces progress schedules, shop drawings, payment applications, record documents, and as-builts. Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) A GMP is the CM’s guaranteed price to deliver a collaboratively developed and mutually agreed upon scope of work for an entire project. The CM guarantees that in no event shall the sum of the CM’s Fee (profit), overhead, general conditions, total cost of the work, and the Owner’s and CM’s contingencies exceed the GMP. When the design for the project achieves 90% completion, the CM will provide a GMP for construction of the scope. After successfully agreeing on the construction contract amount, a GMP contract for Construction will be executed and the CM will function like a General Contractor and will be responsible for completing the work on a schedule at, or below, the guaranteed maximum price for that scope. Throughout preconstruction, the CM furnishes real-time cost proposals received directly from the CM and Sub-contractors as the design progresses. A transparent, open books form, of cost accounting is used and the contractor's profit, general conditions, and indirect costs are known along with any contingencies that the team agrees to be appropriate. The Owner is given an opportunity to question the contractor's proposals as well as direct the design team to revise its approach to meet budget constraints. In the rare instance that CM and Owner are unable to reach an agreement on GMP, the Owner may elect to terminate the Contract. The CM would be entitled to receive the cost attributable to the completed Pre Construction Phase services. In this case, the CM would not be entitled to any further additional compensation from Owner, i.e. damages or lost profits on portions of work not performed. Contingencies Contingencies are recommended to provide for team changes to cover all project uncertainties associated with the cost estimate and enable real-time decisions to be made



20

and paid for allowing the project to move forward rapidly. Contingencies include the CM's contingency and the owner's contingency. CM contingency typically cover material and labor escalation, subcontractor availability and market uncertainties. Owner's contingency typically covers project uncertainties related to scope definition, force majeure, unforeseen conditions and regulatory changes. GMPs include the both contingencies amounts within the cost of the GMP. All costs including contingencies cannot exceed the agreed upon budget for the GMPs, regardless of the circumstances and problems encountered. The team pre-approves the use of all contingencies and all unused amounts are returned directly back to the Owner. Overall Cost Model Prior to submitting a GMP for the work, the CM submits an overall cost model for the project. This cost model represents a good faith estimate from the CM of the project costs required to complete all work required for the project. It is used to verify that the overall project scope can be completed under the available project budget. This model enables the project team to properly plan effectively, monitor and control the cash flow, costs and funds available in comparison to the budget, estimates and total commitments for the project. Preconstruction Fee A lump sum negotiated fee for all CM services required during the Preconstruction Phase. CMFee A "not to exceed" pre-negotiated time and materials amount compensates the CM and Sub-contractors for the roles and responsibilities in the preconstruction phase. Unlike traditional design-bid-build delivery, a CM is retained for the entire project. The CM fee (profit) is total compensation for the CM to manage the entire project and is submitted at the time of proposal. The fee is expressed as a percentage of the actual construction cost. It is the expectation that the CM will identify cost and time saving innovative options and designing smartly to reduce overall project costs as well as make up for coordination costs and the CM's overall fees. The CM's Fee shall be paid based on the work completed.



21

SECTION III SCOPE OF WORK



22

SECTION III. SCOPE OF WORK

GENERAL SCOPE OF WORK: The Owner selects a CM along with its proposed Sub-contractors (subcontractors are originally proposed in the CM's technical proposal) as construction professionals in advance of the preconstruction phase and relies on their expertise during this phase to deliver a high quality project in much less time with a significantly lower cost than the traditional design-bid build construction processes. The CM and its associated Sub-contractors act as Owner's advisors for both the preconstruction and construction project phases. In addition, the CM function as the General Contractor (GC), i.e., prime General Contractor (GC) during the entire construction phase and is solely responsible for successfully completing the work within the agreed upon GMP as well as within accelerated schedule. The successful CM (supported by their pre-selected Sub-contractors) furnishes all labor, materials, equipment, services, and support facilities, etc., required for the following project elements, which include but are not limited to:

• Design Meetings and Assistance-CM partners with the Designer and Owner to develop innovative and streamlined early work packages that completes the project significantly under budget and ahead of schedule. CM will participate in all design meetings in order to propose innovative means and methods along with associated real-time pricing throughout the set of construable plans that effectively eliminate all changes in the field. Ultimately, the designer is responsible for certifying the final construction plans with the overall project risks being distributed/shared and/or mitigated by the entire project Team.

• Design reviews-Certify to the Owner that the plans are constructible as designed, in order to guarantee that they can be completed within the proposed GMP and schedule. Identify and recommend solutions relating to eliminate all errors, omissions, ambiguities, etc... Providing an "economy of scale" relating to the proposed design phasings.

• Constructability reviews-Conduct intensive constructability reviews of

the construction plans to eliminate all potential change orders and/or claims. This process includes but is not limited to certifying the following: all final quantities, required resources, construction phasing, means and methods, traffic control, specifications, equipment, labor, feasible technologies, permits, right-of-way, easements, etc., to enable the project to be constructed as planned with an exceptional level of quality and within the GMP and accelerated schedule.

• Market surveys for design decisions-Furnish designers with innovative

alternative means and methods, materials and/or equipment along with current real-time actual prices and availability of resources in order to



23

jointly make informed design decisions (early in the process) to eliminate future changes in the proposed designs.

• Perform and certify all project quantities – CM performs and certifies

all project quantities required to successfully construct the project within the GMP.

• Design Options – CM prices and evaluates numerous design options

and details for constructability and feasibility.

• Risk – CM identifies potential risks (including financial risk) and methods to mitigate/share/eliminate them.

• Maintenance of Traffic/Traffic Control Plans – Works with the Owner

and Designer to develop all maintenance of traffic/traffic control plans necessary to successfully construct the project for all proposed phases and work packages.

• Staging needs – Proposes, reviews, and validates staging plans for the

project.

• Environmental Commitments/Permits – Actively works with the Owner and Designer to streamline the permitting process and recommends construction means and methods to expedite necessary permit approvals.

• Cost Model – CM provides an accurate and up to date detailed overall

Cost Model for the entire project, i.e., design, permitting, construction, inspection, mitigation, proposed and current GMPs, expenses to date, preconstruction services, construction services, etc...

• Real Time Actual Costs – CM and its subcontractors provides real-

time actual costs relating to innovative concepts, multiple work packages, and design details ensuring the project is constructible under budget. CM provides actual pricing while also focusing on the aspect that "time equals money" relating to construction projects.

• Value analysis-CM identifies aspects of the design that do not add

value or whose value may be enhanced. These changes do not necessarily reduce the cost; they may actually increase constructability, reduce design requirements, and decrease the life-cycle costs, etc...

• Material cost forecasting – CM uses its Sub-contractors and contacts

within the industry to develop costs considering construction material



24

price escalation to assist making decisions regarding material selection, advanced ordering, and early work packages.

• Cash flow /cost control – CM prepares and tracks an earned value

analysis to provide the Owner with information on how project financing and payments must be made available to avoid delaying project progress. This may also include projected construction costs to aid the Owner in determining projected cash flow decisions.

• Master Project Schedule – CM prepares, manages, and tracks a CPM

schedule of work throughout the preconstruction and construction phase to ensure that all commitments and dates will be met, and notifies the owner when issues arise. The master schedule includes such items as preconstruction schedules, design schedules, permitting schedules, right-of-way schedules, detailed construction schedules, GMP schedules, project milestones, third party agreement schedules, submittal schedules, utility relocation schedules, inspection and testing schedules, and phased acceptance schedules. CM evaluates if the planned and current work progress is in line with the constraints of the master schedule. The CM provides work breakdown structures, resource loading, and sequencing of all project tasks needed to complete preconstruction and construction.

• Right-of-way acquisition and easements – the CM assists the Designer

in identifying options for right-of-away acquisitions and easements by providing innovations, means and methods input, etc... The primary purpose is to minimize the amount of right-of-way actions that must be undertaken in an effort to expedite the schedule and reduce the overall project costs.

• Meetings – CM will actively coordinate, participate, and document all

project meetings held with the Owner, Designer, permit agencies, internal and external stakeholders, etc...

• Third Party Issues – CM reviews, manages, and tracks all agreements

and permits while developing innovative solutions for third party issues (i.e. irrigation and flood control districts, railroad, utilities, property owners, adjacent municipalities, citizen groups, etc...). Advises of impacts to the project and proposes innovative solutions to meet these commitments.

• Invoicing – CM provides detailed “open book” monthly invoices for

progress of preconstruction and construction
