Washington State's Capital Projects Advisory Review Board (CPARB) has approved a recommendation from its Project Review Committee (PRC) to adopt revised application forms for public agencies seeking approval to use either the GC/CM (General Contractor/Construction Manager) or Design-Build process.
Project or Agency Approval Required: Under RCW 39.10, public agencies must either seek approval to use these alternative public works processes on a project-by-project basis or to obtain certification from the Project Review Committee (PRC) as a certified public body, experienced in using these delivery methods.
Approved on February 10, 2011: CPARB approved the revised forms at their February 10, 2011 meeting, after hearing a report and recommendation from the PRC Chair, Penny Koal (Dean of Capital Facilities at South Puget Sound Community College).
PRC Meeting Frequency: The Project Review Committee meets every other month to consider applications and hear presentations from public bodies seeking approval.
Terminology in Other States: In other states and in the private sector, GC/CM is also known by other terms, such as CM/GC or CM at Risk.
