EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Los Angeles is considering two alternative procurement approaches to the expansion, operation, and long-
term maintenance of the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC). One approach involves a traditional Construction
Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) delivery method with the design work performed by Populous, the construction
competitively bid and awarded to a general contractor at risk, with all the work being funded through the City. The
alternative approach is to award the project to a developer who would design, build, finance, operate and maintain
(DBFOM) the facility. The City has engaged HOK/Arup to develop the design concept which would be delivered via
DBFOM. The City is to evaluate these two options for value for money to determine which provides the greatest
benefit.
MGAC was retained to provide an independent review of both schemes to provide input to the business case/value for
money analysis being developed for the expansion.
Our analysis is based on assessing the Total Life Costs for the two schemes. Total Life Costs are derived from assessing
the condition of an asset to determine its needs over the near, intermediate, and long term. Total Life Costs, also
referred to as the Costs of Ownership, include the capital cost (i.e. hard and soft costs of construction) of a chosen
capital improvement plan as well as the asset’s “lifecycle costs”, which are estimated future capital investment
requirements to refurbish, refresh, and/or replace an asset’s building elements and components as they reach the end
of their design or useful life.
Accordingly, we have:
• reviewed the capital cost projections provided by both Populous and HOK/Arup for their respective schemes
and from these projections we have developed our own capital cost opinion, and a comparison between the two
schemes;
• reviewed and provided our opinion on the life-cycle cost analysis provided by HOK/Arup for the DBFOM scheme,
developed our own analysis for the CM/GC scheme and provided a comparison between the two;
• reviewed the timelines for development of the two schemes and provided our own opinion on the likely schedule
for these projects.
In summary we have developed the following cost projections for the two schemes:
DBFOM Scheme CM/GC Scheme

Capital Cost $1,128 million $720 million
Life Cycle Cost $490 million $780 million
Total Life Cost (40 years) $1,618 million $1,500 million
Our approach and findings are summarized below.

In order to develop our opinions on cost and schedule we have reviewed various reports provided to us, spoken with
the design teams and the operations team at the Convention Center, and toured the Convention Center buildings.
Both design teams have indicated that the design concepts are preliminary in nature and as a result, the estimates of
cost should be considered so too. We present them as orders of magnitude of cost. We recommend that the budget
be re-visited once the design has moved on to a concept level when the scope will be more clearly defined and the
phasing of the works considered in detail. That said, we have provided our best professional opinion as to the cost to
develop each scheme as defined to date, and compared our projections to those developed by both the Populous and
2
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The result of our study for the DBFOM scheme is an estimate of construction cost (escalated to a start date of December
2017) of $890 million, which with the addition of indirect costs (design fees, project administration etc.) rises to a total of
$1.128 billion. This total is approximately 15% higher than the figures provided to us by Arup for that scheme.
For the CM/GC option we have estimated the construction cost (escalated to a start date of July 2018) at $515 million,
which with the addition of indirect costs calculates to a $720 million project cost. The estimated construction cost represents a
significantly higher cost (50% higher) than the estimate provided by Populous, at $350 million. We assume that this difference in cost
can be equally divided between scope differences and pricing differences in the estimates. In the scope category we have included
building areas from the Facility Program which are greater than those in the Populous estimate, plus we have included code, seismic
and other required upgrades to the existing buildings which were not included in the Populous estimate. (We have included the same
building upgrade factors to the estimate for the DBFOM scheme.) We expect the pricing differences to be in unit price and quantity
allowances in addition to the contingency budgets, general conditions and escalation allowance differences we have been able to
specifically identify.
The second aspect of our review is an assessment of the lifecycle/refurbishment requirements of the two different schemes presented
to us. In an effort to provide an “apples to apples” comparison, a common 40 year investment horizon has been determined for the
assessment. However, the approach and design schemes are fundamentally different and are reflected in significant differences in
initial capital investment.
For purposes of the review, lifecycle costs include the future anticipated capital investment requirements to refurbish, refresh and/or
replace building elements and components as they reach the end of their design or useful life. This includes such items as carpeting,
interior finishes, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems (HVAC), roof coverings, life safety & security systems, windows,
exterior building elements, electrical components, etc. Lifecycle costs do not include, nor are they intended to replace, normal
ongoing and day-to-day operations, maintenance, repair and energy expenditures.
Both of the schemes include reuse of existing space and systems and as such, there has to be a reconciliation of the lifecycle costs
associated with each scheme. To support this, a model has been developed that calculates a current replacement value (CRV) of
the elemental components of the facility based on the proposed total space (new and existing) multiplied by a commonly-applied
unit cost of construction/replacement. Different factors have been developed for the South and West Halls to recognize their age
difference and the impending heritage status of the West Hall. Using the methodology noted above, a formula-driven indicative
lifecycle estimate has been determined for 40 years and added to the overall total for each approach. Typically, cost projections fall
into an expected high to low range. For purposes of this analysis, the mid-point has been utilized in all calculations.
There is no current comprehensive condition assessment of the existing buildings and the review has relied on project briefs and
other background information provided by the Bureau of Engineering, among others.
In the absence of a detailed condition assessment, particularly with respect to the West Hall, it is assumed that the facility and its
elements are generally at the end of its normal service life and will require a significant refurbishment and modernization in the short
term in order to be consistent with the new and renovated portions of the Convention Center and provide the required functional
program space. Following the upgrades, the West Hall would then be subject to normal lifecycle re-investment levels for a building
of its age and historical status. An amount of $105 million has been included in the lifecycle requirements of the CM/GC model to
address upgrades to mechanical, electrical and architectural elements of the building. This has been calculated on the basis of $125
per square foot which represents approximately 25% of the unit cost for new construction. Work of this nature may trigger additional
requirements related to code standards and this provision should be considered a conservative minimum threshold of investment.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Based on the design proposals and background information provided by the key stakeholders, 40 year lifecycle profiles have been
developed for each scheme that include projected future costs for both the new and existing areas that will comprise the expanded
and renovated Los Angeles Convention Center at the end of the construction period. The projections are subject to change resulting
from modifications to the project scope during the detailed design development stage. The summarized recommended lifecycle
estimates at net present value are approximately $490 million for the DBFOM approach and $780 million for the CM/GC approach over
a 40 year period.
Finally, we have reviewed the schedule information provided for the alternative schemes.
The schedule for the DBFOM approach assumes a start to the CEQA/EIR/Planning and Council approval process in March 2016. We are
already beyond this date. Within the schedule the design process is projected to be of 10 months duration and we believe that this is
somewhat aggressive and would project a 12-15 month duration for design. The schedule projects overall completion of the project
in January 2021. Given the delayed start to the process and our recommendation for a longer design period, we would suggest
completion by mid 2021 assuming that the approval to proceed would be imminent.
The CM/GC approach projects an overall timespan of 52 months. Based upon a project commencement in June 2016, the project
would be completed in October 2020. We agree with this assessment.
It should be noted that the schedule duration is directly affected by Populous’ indication that the design and construction phases
would overlap by 5 months. Construction is projected to commence 5 months before the design is complete and in this approach
bids would be sought with incomplete documents. While this can be advantageous from a time perspective, it typically adds to the
risk of prices increasing after initial contract award. We have attempted to capture this in our price risk assessment within the capital
cost projection.

SECTION TWO
CAPITAL COST ESTIMATE
SEC TI ON
5
APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
CAPITAL COST
We have reviewed, for reasonableness, the estimates provided by the consultant teams for both the CM/C and DBFOM
schemes and have developed our own opinion of capital cost from this review. Our review focused on the cost
allowances for each component/system within the buildings (new and renovated space) and from this, we developed a
comparison of capital cost between the two schemes. The estimates provided were at a Uniformat Level II level of detail
and are based on program/concept level information. Given the preliminary nature of the information provided, the cost
review should be treated as an order of magnitude cost review with a predicted accuracy of +/- 15%.
For each of the system cost allowances we have developed a cost projection based upon the program, concept layouts
and our walk-throughs of the existing facility. We have developed cost data for each building system and site component
based upon the requirements of the project, referencing current market conditions in the Los Angeles area in order to
apply appropriate labor and material cost factors.
In addition, MGAC has evaluated appropriate contingencies for the two schemes as currently conceptualized and in
consideration of the different delivery models as follows:
1. Design development
The first contingency relates to development of the design, covering items that estimators simply cannot anticipate
at this early stage of project definition. It is customary for this contingency to be in the range of 10-15% of base
construction cost at this stage of the project. We have applied this at 10% for both schemes.
2. Phasing
The second contingency we have applied relates to the phasing of the work. The Convention Center has stated that the
facility needs to be fully operational throughout the construction phase and while we have not developed a detailed
plan for how the construction work would be performed, we do believe that construction will need to be phased such
that the convention center is minimally impacted throughout. This would require temporary works to be constructed
and then removed, we also anticipate a premium cost with off hours working and the potential sub-optimal use of labor
and equipment at times. We have applied a phasing contingency to both schemes, since the requirement for a fully
functional Convention Center applies to both.
3. Escalation
A third contingency covers the escalation of costs in this market place. The escalation forecast for Los Angeles
Convention Center project has been developed using both a quantitative analysis and qualitative assessment. Location
specific construction cost indices, the ENR Building Cost Index and RS Means Construction Cost Index are used to
formulate our baseline forecast; broader macroeconomic indicators are screened to check the baseline forecast and to
form insights for the future construction industry outlook. Project specific conditions such as the bidding environment
are evaluated in order to arrive at a recommended construction escalation rate specifically for the Los Angeles
Convention Center project.
Based on our analysis, we recommend an annual escalation rate of 4% for the Los Angeles Convention Center project to
the projected construction start dates. The main reasons are summarized below:
• Our baseline forecast using location-specific five-year historical indexes from the ENR Building Cost Index and RS
Means Cost Index yields an annual escalation rate of roughly 2%. The forecast is in line with the broader market
indicators such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI). However, it should be noted that
both the ENR index and RS Means index are calculated based on a combination of common construction materials
and labor costs with fixed weights on each cost composite, thus only represent the average building construction
costs across the Los Angeles region at best. Therefore, the baseline forecast should be treated as a lower bound
estimate and should be adjusted based on the analysis of other factors specifically for the Los Angeles Convention
Center project.
6
APPROACH
• The construction labor shortage, especially the skilled labor shortage, is a major construction cost driver currently
in the Los Angeles area. The construction unemployment rate is lower than that at the national level, and the
construction wage is increasing faster than the national average. Given the complexity of the project, the skilled
labor shortage would be felt more strongly and thus an additional 1% cost increase is added to the baseline forecast.
• Considering the scale and complexity of the project, the bidding environment is expected to be less competitive as
the qualified firms are limited. Based on academic research and our evaluation of potential bidder environment for
the Convention Center project, a 1% bidder environment markup has been applied on top of the baseline forecast.
4. Risk
Finally there is a general risk contingency, or “construction contingency”. The differences between the delivery methods
consider risk allocation and this needs to be factored. Issues to be considered include the likelihood of design errors and
omissions, change order risk and probability, level of owner input required during design and construction as well as
market and procurement risk.
With the traditional CM/GC project delivery, all risk lies with the Owner in respect of design errors, omissions, and
potential change orders for missed scope and differing conditions. Resultant cost overruns on largescale public projects
delivered via a CM/GC approach in this market place have been well documented. These may have been minimized
by better planning, oversight and more stringent change order control, nonetheless history shows that final costs on
largescale public projects have exceeded budgets and often by significant amounts. It is challenging to develop a
reliable analysis of cost variances on these projects. Where projects appear to be on budget, they may be delivering
significantly less program, performance or scope than was originally intended. Others may have received budget
augmentation along the way. So there is no consistent record of project costs which includes the initial budget and
scope requirement lined up against final cost and scope delivered. However there is extensive data and anecdotal
evidence speaking to the greater risk transfer with CM/GC projects and we have attempted to capture this with our
statistical analysis.
Conversely, with DBFOM procurement, most design and construction risk is borne by the DBFOM entity. We say most,
because it is absolutely critical that the Owner provides a Basis of Design document that effectively and completely
defines and describes every element of the project. If this is not provided, the DBFOM entity will use its discretion on
the quality and suitability of elements not defined. Typically, the measure of these items is what has the least cost to the
Design-Builder.
The result of our analysis on risk is to add an 8% risk factor to the DBFOM scheme and a 14% factor to the CM/GC for the
reasons stated above.
Project Cost Mark-Up

Finally, we have added budgets for soft costs on top of the recommended construction budgets in order to provide an
estimate of the overall project budget. Such items include design fees, furniture, fixtures and equipment, environmental
costs (EIR/CEQA), project administration fees and IT systems. A number of the budgets are calculated as percentages of
construction cost as is customary at the budget stage of projects.

In the paper Investigation of Bid Price Competition Measured through Prebid Project Estimates, Actual Bid Prices, and Number of Bidders, Paul G. Carr quantitatively analyzed a data set of 243
construction project bids and discovered that when the bidding environment is less competitive (number of bidders ranges from 1 to 4), the low bid deviates from the estimate by 1% to as large as
15%.

CM/GC OPTION
Major Differences between our Cost Opinion and the Populous Estimate
Below we have listed the major differences that we believe exist between our estimate of construction cost and the
estimate provided by Populous for the CM/GC option. Given the level of cost detail being developed at this stage of
the project it is not possible to provide a completely accurate picture of cost difference and the scope of this study
did not include for a reconciliation between our estimated costs and those developed by Populous. The list and the
associated numbers below should be treated as a guide to the difference in scope and price differential based upon our
understanding of scope coverage in the two estimates. All the costs represent higher amounts in the MGAC estimate:

Major Differences between our Cost Opinion and the Arup Estimate
Below we have listed the major differences that we believe exist between our estimate of construction cost and the
estimate provided by Arup for the DBFOM option. Given the level of cost detail being developed at this stage of
the project it is not possible to provide a completely accurate picture of cost difference and the scope of this study
did not include for a reconciliation between our estimated costs and those developed by Arup. The list and the
associated numbers below should be treated as a guide to the difference in scope and price differential based upon our
understanding of scope coverage in the two estimates. All the costs represent higher amounts in the MGAC estimate
other than the loading dock cost:

LIFE CYCLE COST
INTRODUCTION
The purpose and intent of this report is to assess the lifecycle requirements of the approach and design for the traditional
(CM/GC) procurement model represented by the Populous proposal and the DBFOM model represented by the Arup
proposal. In an effort to provide an “apples to apples” comparison, a common 40 year investment horizon has been
determined for the assessment. However, the approach and design schemes are fundamentally different and are
reflected in significant differences in initial capital investment and lifecycle/refurbishment costs over the period.
For purposes of the review, lifecycle costs include the future anticipated capital investment requirements to refurbish,
refresh and/or replace building elements and components as they reach the end of their design or useful life. This
includes such items as carpeting, interior finishes, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems (HVAC), roof
coverings, life safety & security systems, windows, exterior building elements, electrical components, etc. Lifecycle costs
do not include, nor are they intended to replace, normal ongoing and day-to-day operations, maintenance, repair and
energy expenditures.
The Populous design is based on achieving the functional program requirements within an overall affordability/
funding cap of $350 million (our own capital cost assessment is a higher cost than this). In addition to the build out of
new program space, this approach entails extensive reuse of the existing buildings and systems which will have a major
impact on lifecycle costs. In addition, the proposed reuse of the West Hall will effectively result in the building being
added to the historic register. This approach may result in increased operations, maintenance and energy expenditures
over the study period; however, this has not been quantified as part of this report.
The Arup design contemplates the demolition of the West Hall and replacement of this facility along with new program
space as part of their overall proposal which also includes renovations to the South Hall and development of a new
central utility plant. This will result in a higher initial capital investment but will have lower lifecycle costs due to a greater
percentage of new construction and associated building systems.
Both approaches include renovation of the South Hall which is entering the mid-point of its useful life. The degree
to which elements in this building will be reused, refurbished and/or replaced is not completely clear in the design/
technical briefs and both parties indicate that further determination and assessment will be required during the design
development stage. This represents a significant cost risk and under-investment at the project construction stage due to
value engineering and/or cost avoidance, will result in increased future lifecycle, maintenance and energy costs.

LIFE CYCLE COST
APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
The initial analysis entailed the review of technical and financial documentation provided by the City along with various
reports and estimates developed as part of the proposal development of the two approaches. The lifecycle costs for
the new construction and renovations have been calculated following two methodologies. The first utilizes the adjusted
base construction estimates in the Uniformat II (level 2) break-down extrapolated over 40 years using average design/
service life benchmarks for the various building elements along with assumed replacement/refurbishment strategies
based on good industry practice that would be employed by a prudent owner or P3 contractor to maximize useful life.
The second calculates the expected lifecycle costs using formulae that have been derived from industry experience
in the development of public and private sector long-term capital/lifecycle plans along with the outcome of multiple
competitive P3 bids. The second approach is used as a reference point to validate the system level calculations. This
captures the future costs against the initial capital construction expenditures.
Both the traditional and P3 approaches for this project include reuse of existing space and systems and as such, there has
to be a reconciliation of the lifecycle costs associated with each scheme. To support this, a model has been developed
that calculates a current replacement value (CRV) of the elemental components of the facility based on the proposed
total space (new and existing) multiplied by a commonly-applied unit cost of construction/replacement. Different factors
have been developed for the South and West Halls to recognize their age difference and the impending heritage status of
the West Hall. Using the methodology noted above, a formula-driven indicative lifecycle estimate has been determined
for 40 years and added to the overall total for each approach. Typically, cost projections fall into an expected high to low
range. For purposes of this analysis, the mid-point has been utilized in all calculations.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS
• The proposed renovation and expansion work is compliant with all codes and regulatory requirements (including the
reuse of existing mechanical systems for heating, cooling, distribution, fire and life safety, etc.);
• Both design proposals meet the functional program requirements for the LA Convention Center;
• Levels of day-to-day and preventive maintenance are assumed to be the same under both scenarios with the services
provided by a third party under the traditional model (funding provided by the City), FM and lifecycle work provided
by the P3 partner under a performance-based P3 agreement;
• Replacement and/or refurbishment strategies are based on good industry practice designed to maximize the useful
life of critical systems and buildings.
• System and building elements are based on a reasonable standard of performance, durability and service life;
• Reuse of the West Hall, as an integral key component of the Populous design, will result in the building being placed
on the historic register and it is assumed to remain as a functional part of the Convention Centre for the full analysis
period of 40 years; and
• Operations, maintenance and energy costs along with future redevelopment opportunities on the site have not been
considered as part of this analysis.

LIFE CYCLE COST
OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS
There is no current comprehensive condition assessment of the existing buildings and the review has relied on
project briefs and other background information provided by the Bureau of Engineering, Populous, Gensler, ARUP,
AEG and Finance & Administration. Technical information and the condition assessments contained within the
supplied documentation is inconsistent and in some cases conflicting. For example, in a request for current year
funding, AEG Facilities indicates that the 8 cooling towers in the South and West Hall are well past their useful life.
The MEPT section of Volume Three of the Populous Concept Validation report indicates that the West Hall chillers and
associated cooling towers are to remain as part of their design and the ARUP existing conditions report indicates NIL
remaining life (in accordance with ASHRAE standards).
In the absence of a detailed condition assessment, particularly with respect to the West Hall, it is assumed that
the facility and its elements are generally at the end of its normal service life and will require a significant initial
refurbishment and modernization in order to be consistent with the new and renovated portions of the Convention
Center and provide the required functional program space. Following the upgrades, the West Hall would then be
subject to normal lifecycle re-investment levels for a building of its age and historical status. An amount of $105,873,
480 has been added to the lifecycle requirements of the Traditional Model to address upgrades to mechanical,
electrical and architectural elements of the building. This has been calculated on the basis of $125 per square foot
which represents approximately 25% of the unit cost for new construction. Work of this nature may trigger additional
requirements related to code standards and this provision should be considered a conservative minimum threshold
of investment.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on the design proposals and background information provided by the key stakeholders, 40 year lifecycle profiles
have been developed for each scheme that include projected future costs for both the new and existing areas that
will comprise the expanded and renovated Los Angeles Convention Center at the end of the construction period.
The projections are subject to change resulting from modifications to the project scope during the detailed design
development stage. It is anticipated that the actual conditions of the existing building elements and the viability of their
reuse will have an impact on both the initial capital construction and lifecycle costs.
The summarized recommended lifecycle estimates are:
• Traditional Model: $779,732,980
• P3/DBFOM Model: $490,009,000

SECTION FOUR
SCHEDULE
SEC TI ON
35
DBFOM Schedule
The proposed Convention Center expansion and renovation approaches offer very different project delivery methods.
Both result in upgraded and expanded convention facilities. The principal difference, other than the procurement,
contract, cost, and risk characteristics, is the scope of demolition and construction proposed. The CM/GC approach
modifies and expands the existing West and South Halls into a more unified complex of exhibition, meeting, and support
spaces. THE DBFOM approach expands South Hall significantly, creating a larger overall building with the necessary
exhibition, meeting, and support spaces, and then ultimately demolishes West Hall.
The question is whether the schedules presented by both approaches reasonable, realistic and all encompassing?
DBFOM Schedule
The fundamental elements of the DBFOM schedule are:
CEQA/EIR/Planning and Council 3/1/16 to 10/2/17 19 months

Approval
P3 Procurement 10/3/16 to 11/30/17 15 months
Design 8/3/17 to 5/17/18 10 months
Phased Construction 12/1/17 to 4/30/20 29 months
Demolition 5/1/20 to 1/7/21 7 months
Remaining Exhibit Space and Close- 5/29/20 to 1/7/21 6 months
out
Overall duration of all phases 3/1/16 to 1/7/21 57 months
The DBFOM submission raises the following issues:

• The start date needs to be adjusted to reflect the actual date of project initiation. It is currently almost 4 months
behind.
• Other than CEQA and EIR, the regulatory and approval process is not reflected in the schedule. Anticipated Building
Permit review and approval durations need to be included.
• We do not believe that the design duration includes sufficient time for design development and completion at 10
months. Investigation of City and user feedback, polling and interaction with show managers, design development,
budgeting, cost reduction efforts, phasing drawings, permit reviews, development of early bid packages, and
completion of the design will take considerably more time. The design duration is more likely a 12 to 15 month
process.
• The overall construction duration appears adequate given the amount of phased work that has to be completed but
key activities need to be overlain, particularly activities involving interaction with the City:
• Exhibition dates and durations.
• Action and approval dates for utility companies and other third party entities that impact the schedule.
• Interaction with concessionaires and other food service providers.
• Areas needing to be vacated by the City in anticipation of the start of specific construction phases.
• FF&E review and assessment with the City.
• Phase completion dates and dates on which the Authority will be expected to take over operations of
completed phases.
36
SCHEDULE REVIEW
• Exhibition dates and durations.

• Action and approval dates for utility companies and other third party entities that impact the schedule.
• Interaction with concessionaires and other food service providers.
• Areas needing to be vacated by the City in anticipation of the start of specific construction phases.
• FF&E review and assessment with the City.
• Phase completion dates and dates on which the Authority will be expected to take over operations of
completed phases.
• While the activities mentioned in Item 4 above could be viewed as constituting too much detail for this level of
schedule, it is concerning that they are not identified or described and their impact is not identified as critical. At a
minimum, Arup needs to develop a management plan indicating how this process should be controlled to ensure
that the impacts are properly assessed and scheduled. This, in combination with the schedule, would demonstrate a
complete understanding of the process.
CM/GC Schedule
The fundamental elements of the schedule provided by Populous are:
1. CEQA and Council Approval 6/16 - 11/17 18 months

2. Design 9/16 - 12/18 16 months
3. Construction 07/18 - 10/20 28 months
Overall duration of all phases 6/16 - 10/20 52 months
Populous projects the overall duration of the CM/GC approach to be 52 months. This would present a 5 month time
advantage over the DBFOM approach.
It should be noted that the schedule duration is directly affected by Populous’ indication that the design and
construction phases would overlap by 5 months. Construction is projected to commence 5 months before the design is
complete and in this approach bids would be sought with incomplete documents. While this can be advantageous from
a time perspective, it typically adds to the risk of prices increasing after initial contract award. This can be managed, of
course, with proper controls and risk assignment planning during the bid process, but it could place the City at the risk of
change orders or incomplete scope once construction commences. Further, any mechanism in the bid process to require
the proposers to quantify the risk or accept the risk of the incomplete documents will result in higher contingencies in
the bids and thus neutralize the advantage of taking competitive bids on completed documents.
If that is a risk the City is unwilling to take, then the Populous schedule should be extended 5 months to ensure complete
documents for bidding. If that is the case, there would be no time advantage to the Populous approach and no
associated show revenue benefit.
In addition to the above, the Populous submission raises the same concerns as the Arup issues described previously.
Since this is a less integrated development approach than the DBFOM method, the City must give serious consideration
to how the CM/GC process will be managed and how the City’s operational issues will be addressed during the design
and construction stage.
