Design‐Build or CM‐GC), the project should have sufficient schedule contingency available to<br />

The PMOC shall then develop a cost contingency curve and graphics for reporting and for use as inputs in<br />
related products, such as OP-40 and OP-20.<br />
6.3 Contract Packaging Review<br />
The PMOC shall fully identify, describe, and analyze the Grantee’s individual contract packages and<br />
anticipated or actual pricing/compensation components inclusive of overheads, contingency and<br />
“contingency like” components, and any negotiated profit/fee values. The PMOC shall assess and<br />
evaluate the degree to which such pricing/compensation components are themselves aligned with<br />
the Grantee’s project strategy/risk management plan and their effectiveness in terms of minimizing<br />
costs (and cost overruns) and schedule (and schedule slippages).<br />
6.3.1 Contract Packaging Strategy<br />

characterize and provide a report of the sufficiency of Grantee’s design and construction<br />
procurement and contract packaging strategies.<br />
6.3.2 Contractual Risk Allocation<br />
The PMOC shall review the Grantee’s contract packaging strategy to discover proposed or actual<br />
allocation of risk between Grantee and third parties, and shall develop a comprehensive schedule of<br />
contractual risk assignments, including:<br />
• Risks explicitly assigned through contract scoping language, including instances of work<br />
assignments where risk consequences are apportioned among several parties, including<br />
Grantee; partial apportionment of risk liabilities should be exposed.<br />
• Risks implicitly assigned through industry customs, legal precedent, or statutory authority.<br />
• Contractually‐established risk mitigation pools, such as contingency of any type,<br />
management reserves, undistributed budget, incentive fees, variable profits, etc.; state where<br />
such pools are subject to shared savings provisions.<br />
• Contractually‐expressed limitations to liability of known risks, as available to any party.<br />
• Significant known risks for which no contractual assignment is apparent, especially those for<br />
which the Grantee will suffer liability.<br />
• Significant insurance provisions that affect the assignment of liability of risk.<br />
