Citizen/Public Relations Invoivement/Implications:

6.1 Another benefit of the construction management approach is that because
our construction manager would be awarding many tenders, local business
and trades people are more likely to become involved in the project.

6.2 In addition, any cost savings realized from favorable tenders would revert
to the City of Port Coquitlam, as the owner.

Interdepartmentai Involvement/Implications:

We have worked closely with the Treasury and Administration Department
regarding this process. Both areas support the concept as being one we
should tzy to see how it works for the City of Port Coquitlam.

As we have all experienced, the real key to success in any project is
dependant on the right mix of individuals forming the design and
construction “team”. This can be achieved under a general tender or a
construction management form of contract. However, the construction
management process lends itself more readily to the tearn approach as the
Owner has the direct <- ‘ity to select all members.

The duties of the archn.:<t remain the same in both ge _:rai tender or
construction management processes. The architect's duties relate to design
and inspection of projects, whereas construction manager's duties relate to
the administration of the project including schedules, cost control and
reporting on a regular basis to the owners and architects.

Summary/Conclusion:

9.1 As with all processes there are advantages and drawbacks for each.
However, it would appear that the flexibility of the construction
management process, best matches the requirements of the Hyde Creek
expansion and retro-fit.
