Abstract:

The Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) project delivery method is an emerging project delivery method in the transportation industry. As part of its Every Day Counts (EDC) program, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is promoting the use of CMGC through Peer Exchanges. One recurring theme of the Peer Exchange was the fact that value was added to a construction project during the preconstruction phase by the early involvement of the contractor and the Independent Cost Estimate (ICE) consultant. A content analysis of the presentations given at the most recent Peer Exchange in Boston, Massachusetts, along with four case studies from ICE consultants were reviewed along with literature on the topic to determine the extent of the value added to the CMGC process by involving the ICE consultant.

Supplemental Notes:

This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AFH15 Project Delivery Methods.
