The architect has completed 60% of the construction documents. The owner wants to establish the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) at this point before 100% of the construction documents are complete. Several flooring finish items are still undetermined. What should be included in the project manual to make sure the contractor has a cost to cover all finishes?
Correct Answer: C
When a GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) is established before the design is 100% complete and specific materials are not yet chosen, the correct approach is to specify allowances in the project manual. An allowance is a fixed monetary amount for a specific scope item (e.g., flooring finishes) that allows the contractor to carry a cost in the bid/GMP until the actual product is selected. This ensures the GMP covers the item without delaying pricing. A). Contingency - Is for unforeseen conditions, not specific unselected finishes. B). Schedule of unit prices - Typically used for variable-quantity work, not for unknown product selection. D). Alternate - Provides an option for substitution, but does not guarantee a base cost in the GMP.
