Market Analysis and Stimulation of Subcontractor Interest. (a) The purpose of this subsection is to insure that the CM makes a genuine effort to stimulate interest in the PROJECT and maximize participation of potential qualified subcontractors in the selection process with emphasis placed on recruiting and using local, small and/or minority businesses. The CM shall monitor conditions in the construction market to identify factors that will or may affect costs and time for completing the PROJECT; and make analysis as necessary to (i) determine and report on availability of labor, materials, equipment, potential subcontractors and possible impact of any shortages or surpluses of labor or material, and (ii) in light of such determination, make recommendations and take action as may be appropriate with respect to long lead procurement, separation of construction into subcontractor packages, sequencing of work, use of alternative materials, equipment or methods, other economies in design or construction and other matters that will promote cost savings and completion within the schedule time.
