The sides of that facility are a giant canvas. Hope they eventually do something really interesting with it.

Perhaps... but nothing in the rendering from the link posted by @bull2bull

Unless they value engineered it out of the final design the translucent panels will be Kalwall or a comparable product.

Was this lump sum? Not to exceed? Reimbursable?  Makes a big difference to the GC

I don't think the type of contract matters, whether it be lump sum, GMP, or cost plus. Even if there are cost savings that benefit the GC for early completion, there would surely be a liquidated damages clause for late completion. The GC would know when we need it ready by at bid time and they made a commitment that they could get it done in that timeframe at the cost they bid out. If there's excusable delays for weather events, sure that could extend the schedule also.

I would be shocked if they did not have an inflation clause for material price increases.

I believe it was a guaranteed not to exceed.

The GC would have subbed the work out, so would only be charged per the individual subcontract. Usually, GCs purchase very little material.

Correct. Their MEP subs would be the ones providing the material in their respective contracts. You'd also be surprised how many subcontracts don't have escalation language in them.

Hopefully, the subs locked material prices via PO when they got the bid from the GC.  If so, they are in good shape.

Anyone know if the topmost panels (yellow on this image below-some installed, some to be installed) are a translucent material?

 

You can see a bit from the short video below that it might be a bit.  The corner seems more so.

Hello @mattegunz, I think I last saw you at Alabama.  Hope you've been doing well, I get occasional updates form the @The Sheriff.  Sounds like it!  Good to see you on the board.

As always thanks for creating this forum so many moons ago. I still remember the day your dad informed me of the board at the Marshall Center some 20 yrs ago now. Was like giving crack to a kid hahaha
