(A) Construction manager/general contractor.
(1) Pursuant to UCA § 11-39-107 as a method of construction contracting management, the city may use a construction manager/general contractor (CMGC), as defined in UCA § 63G-6a-103.
(2) If the city elects to authorize the use of a CMGC, said CMGC may be selected through a sealed invitation for bids procedure or sealed request for proposals in lieu of bids.
(a) If sealed proposals are used in lieu of bids, proposals shall be solicited through a request for proposals, which shall state the relative importance of price and other evaluating factors.
(b) Public notice of the request for proposals, describing the position sought and the criteria for the position, shall be given a reasonable time before the date for the opening of the bids.
(c) As provided in the request for proposals, discussions may be conducted with responsible offerors who submit proposals for the purpose of assuring full understanding of, and responsiveness to, solicitation requirements.
(3) Subcontracts while using a CMGC. When entering into any subcontract that was not specifically included in the CMGC's cost proposal, the CMGC shall procure the subcontractor by using sealed invitation for bids or sealed request for proposals.
(4) Pre-qualification. Bidders for the position of CMGC may be required to "prequalify" by presenting their state contractor's license, performance bond, and other qualifications (e.g., length of time in the business, list of jobs previously done, and written permission to contact previous employers, and the like) at the time they submit their bids.
(B) Design build provider. A design build provider, as defined in UCA § 63G-6a-103, may be used as a method of construction contracting management for a city building construction project.
