Kennewick Hospital Seeks GC/CM Project Approval

Kennewick General Hospital has submitted an application to the State's Project Review Committee (PRC) for approval to utilize the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) alternative public works contracting process for a $63 million construction project. The project involves building a partial hospital building replacement. Kennewick General Hospital is a public agency, formally known as the Kennewick Public Hospital District No. 1.

The PRC, a body appointed by the Washington State Capital Project Advisory Review Board (CPARB), will consider the Hospital's application at its May 28, 2009 meeting. GC/CM contracting is authorized under chapter 39.10 RCW.

Please contact me if your agency needs assistance with the GC/CM approval, solicitation, selection, and contracting processes. I am currently under contract with LOTT Alliance, a consortium of wastewater treatment utility districts in the Olympia area as they embark on a GC/CM project for upgrades to their treatment plant, and am assisting LOTT Alliance with the solicitation, selection, and contracting process.
