Speaker: Dean Schultz

Challenges and Opportunities of the Construction-Manager-at-Risk
Project Delivery Method:  Reno-Tahoe International Airport’s Gateway Project

The $27 million Gateway Project at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport provides a perfect case study to examine the Construction-Manager-at-Risk (CMAR) project delivery method.  Although Design-Bid-Build is still widely used, CMAR has become the project delivery method of choice for the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority for large complex construction projects.  Collaborative CMAR projects, which include the contractor in the design process, are providing better overall value for the Airport Authority and generating a higher level of confidence in maintaining project completion schedules.  Our speaker, Dean Schultz from the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority, will discuss the Gateway Project, the CMAR delivery process and some of the challenges of managing a project in the 24/7 operating environment of the airport.
