The Board of Denver Water Commissioners
Denver, Colorado
Providing leadership and training for the Denver Water staff and Board of Water Commissioners in establishing a project approach to complete the $130 million Non-potable Reuse Project.

Our Phase 1 Services included assisting the entire Denver Water team in selecting and implementing a construction delivery method for their largest project currently underway. In this role we developed tools to educate the staff and designers in the numerous delivery methods and identified the advantages and disadvantages of each. The team selected a CM/GC approach with a Guaranteed Maximum Price. We led the staff through development and implementation of; contractor solicitations, RFQ’s, RFP’s, pre-qualifications, interviews, reference checks, selection of the contractor and contract negotiations.

Since Denver Water had always completed work through a conventional design/bid/build delivery method, we worked with several departments to assure their alignment with this new approach. Our role included developing a new contract format with the legal department, revising accounting procedures, developing an auditing strategy, developing new procurement procedures, developing engineering approaches to the pre-construction and the development of several partial guaranteed maximum prices leading to a final project guaranteed maximum price. We also assisted in establishing changes to the contract administration procedures during construction. Our role has been to develop the CM/GC delivery approach and train Denver Water staff in understanding and implementing the new procedures.

This approach has received overwhelming support and as a result The Board of Water Commissioners approved this approach for the construction of the $30 million Marston Treatment Plant renovation.
