Selecting a Construction Manager
Overview
We will identify and explain the differences between the types of construction managers used on public and
private projects in Ohio, as well as identify statutory requirements for when a public entity hires a construction
manager. We will also identify the key things to consider when determining which construction manager is best
qualified for a particular project.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn the different categories of construction managers and their key differences.
2. Learn the statutory qualifications-based selection process for Ohio construction managers.
3. Learn the key things to consider when evaluating a construction manager for a project.
4. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of different types of construction managers and key provisions in
construction manager contracts.

Columbus Design Week 2012
by Francesco Lazzaro Originally published November 8, 2012
Columbus Design Week 2012, a series of exhibits, lectures, and symposia, strengthens dialogues across all disciplines of
design – from architecture to fashion to culinary arts to urban planning. "Ideabook," the opening reception, found
hundreds of designers converging to share their visions of the city's future at the OSU Urban Arts Space, a building that
typifies the renaissance taking place in the urban core of Ohio's capital city.
The genesis of Columbus Design Week resides in a sort of
functional envy that grew in the minds of architect Michael
Bongiorno and his wife Sarah, event co-founder and urban
planner, when the couple visited Montreal in 2009. Montreal is
one of only 12 cities globally to bear the UNESCO City of Design
designation.
“We were impressed with the design culture in the city. There
seemed to be a self-awareness about design, an awareness
about the quality of public spaces, and a dialogue about design
throughout the city. We started looking into the UNESCO City
of Design designation and thought, 'Well, how do you get
there?'”
click here to watch the video
Bongiorno effuses a boyish enthusiasm as he speaks about architecture, design, and urban planning. His childhood was
spent roaming the streets and underground of New York City. As a transplant to Columbus, he discovered a city ready to
embrace new ideas and diverse partnerships in support of sustainable urban development. As he puts it, “Columbus
creates the conditions by which we can help cultivate growth and creativity.”
In concert with the newly formed Center for Architecture and Design, Bongiorno conceived Columbus Design Week as a
stepping-stone toward achieving the UNESCO City of Design designation. Along the way he discovered an unexpected
convergence of purpose and energy: Bongiorno's group crossed paths with the team planning Columbus’s bicentennial
celebrations, including idUS, a series of events focusing on innovation and design. In the tradition of Bruce Mau's
Massive Change, the two groups combined their missions, and Columbus was suddenly poised to incubate design
dialogues across many disparate disciplines.
At the opening reception, hundreds of designers hovered over rows of
blood orange Ideabooks and dozens of conversations bloomed. Bongiorno
sums up the energy in the room: “We pride ourselves on the ability to
make things happen. We’ve really worked together in the spirit of
collaboration and I hope we never lose it. Though it’s infected the culture
of the city so much that I don’t ever think it can go away.”

Catalyzing Development through Dialogue
“Design Week is great because people are thinking about new ideas. I want to see those ideas get executed. It’s one
thing to have ideas, it’s another to actually implement those ideas and make them a reality.” – Guy Worley, Columbus
Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC)
As CEO of the CDDC for the past five years, Guy Worley has overseen a remarkable boom in urban revitalization and
development. While many cities across the Midwest have been plagued with declining revenues and waning populations
brought on by the global recession, Worley has witnessed a different story unfolding in Columbus.
“In the Midwest, Columbus is really striving. We’ve weathered this economy very well and continued to grow,” Worley
says. He recites a litany of downtown development successes accomplished within the past decade that have replaced
the surface lots and derelict concrete bunkers of the 1980s with new residential neighborhoods, world-class sports
complexes, and acres of green space.
“These projects occurred because of the public and private leaders working so well together. I think that’s somewhat
unique for our city," Worley explains. "It’s a very collegial city – people like to work together and get things done.”
Commensurate with Design Week’s mission of creating high-functioning dialogues across disciplines, Worley’s team
opened the latest phase of downtown strategic planning to the general public. Over 1,100 ideas were submitted and
then condensed into a plan accessible since 2010 to the public at the Department of Planning's website, what Worley
calls “12 catalytic projects.”
“We had 20,000 folks view the plan online," Worley says, "and by far the number one project that they wanted to see
accomplished is to redevelop the river itself.”
Worley is speaking of the Scioto River, which winds south through
Columbus, its course defining many of the spaces that the CDDC has
developed over the past decade. Despite the successes of projects
such as the Scioto Mile string of parks, the river itself is not a heavily
trafficked waterway, neither for commercial nor recreational
activity. As it cuts through downtown, the Scioto in its current state
creates a cultural divide between the revitalized downtown district
and the less vibrant near west side. As Worley puts it, “Our river is
really not thought of as an amenity, it’s a sedimentation pond.”
“Our goal is to remove the Main Street low-head dam, dredge the river, create 16' pools and riffles from 4' to 7', so it
will become a recreational corridor from the Ohio State University through downtown and down to the Scioto Audubon
Park. " We’re going to take it back to its original course from about 100 years ago. It will be about 250' to 275' wide, and
there’s going to be 33 new acres of green space within the heart of our downtown – which will be transformative.”
Worley adds with a wry smile of confidence, “This is all to be finished by the end of 2015, so that is an idea that is going
to become a reality.”

How have the architect's responsibilities changed?
by Sheldon Wolfe, RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, CSC Originally published September 28, 2012
About a hundred years ago, when AIA produced the document that eventually would become the familiar A201, the
architect was firmly in control of construction. The 1915 AIA general conditions state, in Article 9, "The Architect shall
have general supervision and direction of the work….The Architect has authority to stop the work whenever, in his
opinion, such stoppage may be necessary to insure the proper execution of the Contract." Article 11 required the
Contractor to "give efficient supervision to the work", and Article 12 required the Contractor to "provide and pay for all
materials, labor, water, tools, equipment, light and power necessary for the execution of the work."
Those basic responsibilities remained essentially the same until the 1960s. Since then, a lot has changed.
In 1961, an architect was found liable for the death of a worker in Day v. National U.S. Radiator Corporation. It wasn't
the first time an architect had been sued and it won't be the last, but this was a case that called into question the basic
responsibilities of the architect, as defined by the general conditions.
Briefly, Wilson & Coleman, an architectural firm in Louisiana, designed a new hospital building for the Louisiana State
Building Authority. The contractor hired a subcontractor for all work related to the central heating system and the hot
water system, which included a boiler. The specifications required a thermostat and a pressure relief valve for the boiler,
but the subcontractor installed them instead on a water storage tank. The subcontractor did not inform the architect the
system was ready for inspection, or request that an inspection be made. The subcontractor performed a preliminary
test, the boiler exploded, and one of the subcontractor's employees was killed.
It seems obvious that the subcontractor caused the explosion, first, by not installing the required safety equipment, and
second, by not requesting inspection of the system before testing. However, a district court found the architects
responsible, and relieved other defendants of liability. The architects appealed the decision. The court of appeals not
only agreed with the lower court, but increased the amount of damages.
How could the courts come to this decision? The architects, by contract responsible for "supervision of the work", were
found negligent for failing to inspect the installation of the hot water system, and for approving shop drawings that did
not show a pressure relief valve. In other words, the architects should have been at the site all the time, and should have
watched the entire construction process. Apparently, they should have known the boiler was being installed, and they
should have inspected it continuously, even if the installer did not tell them about the installation.
In the end, the decision was overturned by the Supreme Court of Louisiana. That court determined that the architect's
responsibility was not to continuously verify compliance with the contract documents, but to verify before final
acceptance that the contractor had used the correct materials, and "generally that the owner secured the building it had
contracted for."
In this case, the courts eventually came to the conclusion that the architect is not responsible for safety, provided the
architect is not specifically assigned that responsibility. In other decisions, similar conclusions were made, except in
cases when the architect assumed that responsibility by voluntarily becoming engaged in matters related to safety.

the comment | November 2012 | CSI Columbus
Even though the architects in this case eventually were absolved, the AIA quickly updated and reissued its A201 in 1963,
only two years after the previous edition. In the 1963 general conditions, the architect's responsibilities were reduced;
the architect now was required only to "make periodic visits to the site" and was not required to "make exhaustive or
continuous on-site inspections…"
In the 1966 A201, the definitions of responsibilities of both the architect and the contractor were expanded. The brief
comments regarding the contractor's supervision of the work and paying for "light and power" were supplemented by
making the contractor "solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures
and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract." And if that wasn't clear enough, Article 2 - Architect,
states the same thing, as a negative, for the architect: "The Architect will not be responsible for construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work,
and he will not be responsible for the Contractor's failure to carry out the Work…" (my emphasis).
Read again what is said about the responsibilities of the architect and of the contractor. In essence, the architect is
responsible for showing what the building should look like, and what materials should be used where, and the
contractor is responsible for pretty much everything else. Note there is nothing that requires the architect to tell the
contractor, or the manufacturer, or the installer how to do their jobs. In fact, it states "The contractor shall be solely
responsible for and have control over construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures and for
coordinating all portions of the Work…"
In 1970, the last vestige of the architect's former power was removed. The power to "stop the work" was taken from the
architect and given to the owner. This was important, as architects continued to be found liable for worksite injuries,
despite the exculpatory provisions of the general conditions. In effect, courts found the "stop the work" clause to mean
the architect remained in control of the project, had a duty to understand the hazards associated with all types of work,
and should take appropriate action to prevent injuries. Since then, the requirement to "make periodic visits" was
changed to "visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction" to further reduce liability.
Some may argue that none of this diminishes the architect's position as Master Builder, but AIA commentaries suggest
otherwise. The commentary to the 2007 A201 states, regarding the means and methods clause in 4.2.2, "The last
sentence [which ends with 'since these are solely the Contractor's rights and responsibilities'] underscores the
statement of the contractor's responsibilities in 3.3.1 and reinforces the dividing line between the contractor's
responsibilities and those of the architect" (my emphasis). Regarding 1.2.1, which states, "The intent of the Contract
Documents is to include all items necessary…what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all…" the
comment is, “The contractor is expected to make reasonable inferences…[if] the documents show wall partitions
covered by drywall…it may be inferred that some reasonable method will be used to attach the drywall to the
underlying framework."
Clearly, those who write the general conditions no longer see the architect as responsible for much beyond a general
description of the intended results, and now expect the contractor to play a more prominent role in execution of the
contract.

In Case You Missed It…
Springsteen: What the Boss Can Teach About Business?
by Barry Moltz Originally published September 24, 2012
I have watched rock-and-roll legend, Bruce Springsteen, perform for
more than 35 years. When I went to his concert this month at Wrigley
Field in Chicago, I realized what he can teach small-business owners
about growing their own businesses.
1. Address the hard issues. Springsteen’s music has always connected
to the working class and its struggles. In recent years, he has written
ballads on 9-11 and the Great Recession. From his latest album,
Wrecking Ball, the Democratic National Committee played the song,
“We Take Care of Our Own” after President Obama spoke this year. In 1984, Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” which
shined a light on the problem of unemployment among Vietnam veterans, was used by President Reagan on the
campaign trail. Lesson for small business: Springsteen's music is popular because it takes hard issues head on. Likewise,
your business solutions should recognize and address your customer’s worst pain.
2. Jump off the stage and into the audience. Springsteen is famous for his three-hour-plus performances. He dances
into the audience and brings fans up on stage. At his concerts, he always seems like he is having a personal dialogue with
each audience member. Lesson for small business: Get out of the office and go talk customers wherever they are. Don’t
just broadcast a message through company advertising. Instead, have a dialogue with customers online through social
media. Talk to them offline at conventions, personal meetings and via telephone.
3. Work even harder after success. Springsteen has been a major financial success since he released Born to Run in
1975, his third album of a three-album record deal. Even though he has recorded more than 35 albums and reportedly
makes over $200 million a year, he still works just as hard on stage as when he launched his career. He never has a
warm-up act and does not rest between songs. Lesson for small business: Don’t sit on your laurels. Successful business
owners work even harder to stay where they are.
4. Always innovate. Imagine how surprised I was to hear a bit of rap music at Springsteen’s Wrigley Field concert. The
Boss, who has been rocking since before anyone ever heard the term "rap," still manages to stay current by
incorporating new genres and influences into his act. Lesson for small business: Constantly innovate your products and
services while staying true to your core brand.
5. Appreciate what you have. At the Chicago concert, Springsteen said, “As I get older, I appreciate each of these
evenings that much more.” Lesson for small business: Pause and realize that owning a small business is one of the
greatest opportunities in the world.

the comment | November 2012 | CSI Columbus
6. Enthusiasm is contagious. It is obvious that Springsteen still loves what he does. It is evident in all of his lyrics and
every song he performs. He is always the last one on stage even after three encores. Lesson for small business: Find a
way to stay passionately connected to the business. Customers can feel it.
7. Focus on customer service. Springsteen is known for obsessing about every detail of the album and the concert
experience. It defines his product. Lesson for small business: No amount of marketing can help a small business as much
as a reputation for excellent customer service.
8. It’s never the end of the world. Springsteen once said “when you go on stage, you have to think like you’re the
biggest rock star in the world. At the same time, you have to remember you’re not saving lives out there; it’s just music.”
Lesson for small business: It is important to put 100 percent into a business, but remember at the end of the day, it’s
not life and death. Let go and try again another day.

Are Fluorescent Bulbs Mercury Hazards?
by Scott Doellinger, AIA, ACHA, ASHE, LEED AP
Principal - DesignGroup
No, they actually reduce the amount of mercury being released into the environment!
In Central Ohio most of our electricity still comes from coal burning power plants.
Each power plant admits about 50 tons of mercury each year. That makes each incandescent 60 watt bulb responsible
for 5.75 milligrams, each equivalent 13 watt bulb responsible for 1.25 milligrams of mercury. The Fluorescent bulb
contains no more than 4 milligrams of mercury, with newer bulbs containing as little as 1 milligram.
So, if the fluorescent bulb is thrown in the trash after 8000 hours of use we are still ahead.
But, all Home Depot & Lowes stores accept used bulbs for recycling, eliminating the 1-4 milligrams making the
fluorescent bulbs less of a source of mercury.
If a fluorescent bulb is broken inside do not vacuum up the powder and glass. Rather, air out the space for 5 minutes
then scrape the large glass and powder pieces onto a piece of cardboard and into a zip-lock plastic bag.
Use wet paper towels to clean up remaining powder and glass and place in another zip-lock bag. Place both bags in the
municipal trash.

Busy Students
CSI-S at CSCC - Student Happenings
Road Trip!
On October 18, 2012, Scott A. Bertke, Field
Representative, several of the CSI-S members and
others boarded a bus at 8:30 am sharp and headed
north. We took a tour of Tremco Incorporated
headquarters in Beachwood, Ohio. The company
has transformed its circa-1970 headquarters
building into a LEED GOLD –NC certified sustainable
showcase that features a 9,000 square foot
vegetated roof, two photovoltaic arrays, a wind
turbine, a 15,000 gallon water capture and reuse
system, an insulated façade and much more.
Additionally during the month of October, we had Bill Resch as our guest speaker at the
membership meeting. Bill is overseeing the relocation of the 2009 Solar Decathlon building. This
building is an OSU creation, was on display in Washington D.C., relocated to the Columbus Zoo, and
is currently being installed in New Albany, Ohio. CSI-S students were invited to assist on the
project, after the professionals get it set on foundation. If you are interested in further information
check out this link: http://www.solardecathlon.gov/past/2009/team_ohio.html
An update on our Lower Lights Ministries community outreach has our President, Tom Quinlin, and
Barry Tullos, drilling holes into ceilings and providing access for the design team to continue with
plans for the renovation of the building that will house the Holistic Leadership Learning Innovative
Program. We will continue working with LLM, look for future updates.
A personal note to all, take the time this Thanksgiving to thank God for something you have taken
for granted, hug a person who needs it, and risk being vulnerable, love grows in such fertile soil.

Leave Your Mark….
Alden B. Dow
Midland, Mich.
Like his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright, Dow integrated natural surroundings in his architecture.
Dow, son of the Dow Chemical Co. founder, designed his home and adjoining studio in 1933 in Midland. They
total 20,000 square feet and were built using Dow's patented "Unit Blocks," cast from cinder concrete.
The two buildings sit along a stream and plum grove. The home is a low-lying and winglike structure. Inside,
visitors first see two walls of windows, a vaulted ceiling and views of the terraced garden beyond.
The studio's roof hangs over an artificial pond containing rushes and lilies. Inside, the floor of a sunken
conference room rests 18 inches below the water's surface. Water laps at the window on windy days.
Dow and his wife, Vada, lived there until they died — he in 1983, she in 1991. The home and studio were
donated to the Alden and Vada Dow Creativity Foundation.
