The project budget is estimated to be $1,400,000.00. The Owner expected that 100% of project cost savings, including

contingencies, will be turned over to the Owner no later than substantial completion of the project

Project Schedule

Although a final schedule has not been established, the Owner is currently working with the Design Professionals on

the schematic design phase in order for construction to begin as soon as possible. If required, an early release package

responsible for managing all facets of construction. The CMAR will be responsible for all methods of construction,
