Agency Denied Permission to Use GC/CM

The Housing Authority of Snohomish County was denied permission on January 28, 2010 to use the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) project delivery method for their $3.8 million Marysville Point housing project.  

Generally, GC/CM projects in Washington State are on projects over $10 million, and this may have been one of the reasons the Project Review Committee denied the application.  The Project Review Committee is appointed by the Capital Projects Advisory Review Board (CPARB) to review applications from public agencies in the State of Washington to use GC/CM and Design-Build.

At their January 28, 2010 meeting, the Project Review Committee did approve the application of the Port of Seattle for a $47.5 million Design-Build project for renewal and replacement of 42 escalators at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
