Process administrated and pro-
cessed by the CMAR. Dunseith
Public School Dist. #1 reserves the
right to approve any and all
Sub-Contractors, includes but is not
limited to the following:
1. The number and quality of
Sub-Contractors the CMAR will ob-
tain.

aspects of the work.
3. Demonstrating an ability to fore-
cast local bidding and construction
conditions as it relates to sufficient
work force and costs.
4. Open Book Bidding to be re-

accepting bids by Sub-Contractors.
i. Guaranteed Maximum Price:
I. The Guaranteed Maximum Price
(GMP) will be provided to the owner

scope of the work without additional
fees to include work that was re-
moved or omitted during the design
and estimating phase in order to ob-
tain a GMP that was within the Own-
ers budget.
III. The intent of the restrictions on
GMP Savings is to ensure the Own-
er obtains the broadest and most
complete scope of work possible,
yet still offer the CMAR incentive to
find savings within the project during
the Construction Phase.
k. Bonds and Insurance:
I. Proof of liability to provide a bind
in an amount at least equal to the
amount of the Guaranteed Maximum
Price of the project as well as meet
necessary insurance requirements

bond for their work, which may im-
pact the cost and ability of obtaining
a bond by the CMAR.
