APPENDIX A
National Survey Questionnaire
NCHRP Synthesis Topic 40-02: Construction Manager-at-
Risk Project Delivery
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
The purpose of this questionnaire is to identify which state high-
way agencies have used, are using, or plan to use Construction
Manager-at-Risk (CMR), also commonly called Construction
Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) project delivery and
from that baseline, identify experienced state highway agencies
on which to develop case studies reflecting their process for
implementing this project delivery method. The results of the
study will be a synthesis of highway agency CMR procure-
ment procedures for agencies that are interested in using this
alternative project delivery method to procure their construc-
tion projects.

DEFINITIONS
Construction Manager-at-Risk (CMR) or Construction
Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC): A project delivery
method where the owner selects the General Contractor to act
as the CM on a basis of qualifications and awards a preconstruc-
tion services contract to assist the engineer-of-record during the
design phase. Once the design is complete, the subcontractor
work packages are bid out and the CM becomes the GC to com-
plete the construction on a guaranteed maximum price basis.
Design-bid-build (DBB): A project delivery method where
the design is completed either by in-house professional engi-
neering staff or a design consultant before the construction
contract is advertised. Also called the “traditional method.”
Design-build (DB): A project delivery method where both the
design and the construction of the project are simultaneously
awarded to a single entity.
