Construction Manager-at-Risk
After searching for the best possible construction delivery method for a project of the size and scope of the new convention center, the City Council has approved the CM at-Risk process as the method most likely to produce a quality product in a timely fashion. The NC General Statutes provide the basic framework for the CM at-Risk process, including planning, managing design and construction, cost analyses, scheduling, quality control and guaranteeing the construction cost (Guaranteed Maximum Price, GMP). The selection of a CM at-Risk for the new convention center was based on responses to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) (see below). The City Council has chosen Skanska-Barnhill as Construction Manager-at-risk for the Convention Center process (March 2, 2004) after careful consideration of the top two teams, also including the team of Clancy and Theys / Mortensen..
The deadline for responses was January 6, 2004. The following firms responded:
Bovis Lend Lease, Inc. Centex Construction Company Clancy & Theys Construction/M. A. Mortenson Company Hunt Construction Group/R.J. Leeper Company, Inc. Turner Construction Corporation Skanska USA Building, Inc./Barnhill Contracting Company
The following three firms were short-listed for further discussion (January 16, 2004):

The City Council has selected the following firm to act as Construction Manager-at-risk for the new convention center.
