detailed Schedule of Values and a Master Project Schedule, Construction Contractor represents
and warrants that the Contract Documents, including the Construction Documents, as well as other
materials, and information furnished Construction Contractor as of the date of this Amendment
have described the scope, construction requirements, and design intent of the Work in detail
sufficient to enable Construction Contractor to establish firmly the GMP, Contract Time and the
Project Schedule. To the extent that the Construction Documents are anticipated to require further
development, Construction Contractor has provided in the GMP for such further development
consistent with the Contract Documents and reasonably inferable therefrom.
2.12 Savings will be computed as of the date of final completion of the Work and shall
consist of the difference between (i) the Guaranteed Maximum Price (as it may be adjusted in
accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents) and (ii) the total aggregate sum of the
Cost of the Work plus the Construction Management Fee paid by Owner shall accrue to the sole
benefit of Owner.

ATTACHMENT 2 - Clarifications and Assumptions
Champion Theme Middle School GMP
Stone Mountain, GA March 8, 2024
Assumptions & Clarifications
The following clarifications and assumptions, organized by CSI division, are included as part of the Agreement.
General Notes
1. This GMP Estimate for Champion Theme Middle School is based upon the following documents, unless
otherwise stated in Clarifications below:
a. Project Manual Issued for Construction dated Jan.20,2022 by SSOE
b. Plans Issued for Construction dated Jan.20,2022 by SSOE
c. Addendum #1 – Not provided
d. Addendum #2 dated June.21, 2022 by SSOE
e. RFI log#1 (see attached)
This estimate includes:
1. Construction Manager will furnish and maintain General Liability Insurance through a GL/Excess BBC’s
master insurance program. The General Liability Insurance will be billed at a fixed rate of 1.10% of the GMP
with the first Payment Application. Direct bills from the master program are not available as the fixed rate is
based on the entire portfolio of US projects and calculated as a fixed rate.
2. Balfour Beatty P&P Bond will be provided at a fixed rate of 0.561% of the GMP. Bond costs will be billed
100% with the first Payment Application.
3. Builder’s Risk policy will be provided by Contractor and be billed at actual cost with the first Payment
Application at a value equal to the cost of work. Owner shall maintain property insurance for facility.
4. Construction Manager will furnish and maintain Subcontractor Default Insurance (SDI) through BBC’s master
insurance program. SDI will be billed at a fixed rate of 1.52% of the cost of work. Direct bills from the master
program are not available as the fixed rate is based on the entire portfolio of US projects and calculated as a
fixed rate. Construction Manager will purchase, maintain, and enroll all eligible and prequalified
subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors into a SDI program at a fixed amount which shall be billed in total at
the outset of the project. Any subcontractors who do not meet SDI prequalification requirements who have
subcontractors over $250,000 will be bonded at the contractor’s discretion.
Division 1 General Requirements
This estimate includes:
1. Digital Documents: All documents including closeouts will be transmitted digitally. No provisions for hard
copies are included.
2. Potential Trade Escalation: Should the award of certain Trade Contracts not allow for a fixed-price structure
where the Trade Contractor would bear all or part of the responsibility for future inflation and/or cost
escalation for the entire scope and value of the Trade Contract due to either (1) market conditions (supply
chain, etc.) that won’t allow for firm fixed price commitments at time of Trade Contract award and/or (2) at the
request of the Owner who wants to remove such Escalation Allowances or Escalation Contingencies for
anticipated or potential future inflation and/or cost escalation from the initial Trade Contract amount and fully
bear that future risk, the Expenditure Authorization Letter will capture such details and outline the mutually
agreed-upon timeline and process for which the material escalation items will be measured and later
Page 1 of 8
Page 2
ATTACHMENT 2 - Clarifications and Assumptions
Champion Theme Middle School GMP
Stone Mountain, GA March 8, 2024
reconciled. Upon reconciliation of any material escalation item from Trade Contracts, the GMP contract
amount will be adjusted accordingly via Change Order. Should the Owner elect to deviate from the agreed-
upon timeline for reconciling the escalation as outlined in the Expenditure Authorization Letter, any further
cost or schedule impacts resulting from that change will cause the GMP to be adjusted via the Change Order
process outlined in the Agreement.
3. General Conditions: Are established as a lump sum that shall be paid in equal installments on a monthly basis
over the course of the project.
4. Construction Contingency: Our GMP Proposal contains 7 percent (7.00%) of Cost of the Work construction
contingency (based on the 100% CD’s). The Construction Contingency will be used at the reasonable
discretion of the Contractor to address unexpected circumstances and expenses incurred to: (a) pay for
purchase of subcontracts, suppliers and vendors in excess of budgeted line item(s) within the GMP; (b) fill
scope gaps between trade subcontractors; (c) repair un-assignable damaged work; and (d) settle minor
disputes with trade subcontracts at the completion of the Project. In essence, these are expenses which are
ordinary and customary that does not constitute a change in the Work as defined in the Agreement. The
Construction Contingency can be used to offset cost overruns incurred by the Contractor for General
Conditions or General Requirements. Conversely, any savings will flow into the Construction Contingency.
5. Pandemic/ Supply Chain Issues: Any delays in deliveries, unavailability of materials or equipment, labor
shortages and/or cost escalation attributable to epidemic, pandemic or public health emergencies as well as
supply chain issues will constitute compensable delays or change events.
6. An assumption that to the extent the specifications do not involve design elements performed by different trades
and is otherwise a customary proprietary design or engineered component requiring a professional engineer’s
stamp on shop drawings such as fire suppression systems, fire alarm systems and other similar activities,
Construction Manager’s liability for design errors and omissions is limited to amounts we recover from the
subcontractor or its insurance carriers.
7. Installation, rental, and removal of three (3) eight-classroom modular classroom trailers to relocate students
during construction. Rental included for 26 months (from 5/1/2024 through 07/01/2026). Classroom trailers
include electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and fire protection installation. This scope includes an allowance for
electrical and plumbing (water/sewer) final connections since the final tie-in locations are not known at this time.
