Construction cost estimates shall be developed/updated and submitted as a part of each of the following submittals: Working Drawings; 50% milestone; Uniformat format elemental categories and detailed to Level 4; 90% milestone; Uniformat format elemental categories and detailed to Level 4 and additionally in CSI format. Each cost estimate shall: Reflect the best professional estimate of actual costs anticipated. Establish internal estimating allowances, consistent with good professional practice, appropriate to the phase of development. Larger allowances are assumed held at early phases gradually diminishing to zero at completion of final cost estimate. Adjust reported cost values to contract ENR CCCI value. Do not advance costs to the estimated start of construction, mid-point of construction or to present day values unless otherwise directed by the AOC. Questions regarding the calculation of ENR CCCI values shall be reviewed with the AOC Project Manager. Develop Supplementary Conditions (with AOC and Architect participation and subsequent AOC written approval) that address the Project conditions, modify the General Conditions as appropriate and as agreed upon by the AOC. Authorization to proceed with each succeeding step in the design process is contingent upon the AOC’s written Acceptance of both the Architect or Engineer’s and Contractor’s independent cost estimates, which when evaluated separately, must both be equal to or less than the Construction Budget. Approvals: Contractor shall monitor all regulatory approvals required during the Working Drawing Phase. Contractor shall provide the Master Schedule for Construction of the Project, which must, unless modified by a written amendment to this Agreement, and regardless of weather conditions, be completed on or before seven hundred and twenty-eight (728) calendar days from the date of Notice To Proceed with Construction. The Master Schedule for the Construction Phase of the Project shall be provided to the AOC, and is subject to the AOC’s written approval. Preparation of the Master Schedule for the Construction Phase will take into consideration sufficient time for the AOC to authorize said stage, including any time necessary for the AOC to obtain approval of funding. Upon successful completion of all activities and the successful provision of all deliverables of the Working Drawings Phase specified above, the AOC, the Architect, and the CM shall, in a written and signed document, designate the names, versions, and revision numbers of the final Construction Documents and Master Schedule for the Construction Phase of the Project. Upon the AOC’s written approval of the final Design Documents, the Design Documents are incorporated into and become an integral part of the Construction Documents, and upon approval of the Master Schedule applicable to the Construction Phase, the Contractor is authorized to begin the activities of the Subcontractor Bid Package stage: Subcontractor Bid Package Stage The AOC shall be provided, in writing, with a plan for the division of the construction activities of the Construction Phase work into bid packages. Bid packages shall be logical, inclusive and distinct. Bid packages shall be sufficiently comprehensive to secure competitive bids for provision of all of the Construction Phase work of the Project, as documented in the approved Construction Documents. Each bid package shall include a statement of work specifying all work to be performed by that subcontractor for the portion of the work as shown in the Construction Documents to be solicited, and shall include a schedule or due dates that requires the performance of the work within the timeframe envisioned for such work in the Master Project Schedule for the Construction Phase of the Project. Bid packages shall only solicit fixed price bids or Time and Materials bids with a fixed not-to-exceed amount. Individual packages shall, if the AOC so directs, include a number of additive or deductive alternates acceptable to the AOC.
