A Construction Management Plan (CMP) is a combination of diagrams, documents, drawings, and specifications, prepared by a Professional Engineer/Designer/Project Manager/Qualified Person, that clearly define the steps that will be taken to demonstrate how the impacts to the community will be minimized and how the impacts associated with any construction project will be managed. The purpose is to minimize potential problems and ensure a safe and positive public experience with development related construction activities by setting minimum standards for work within or immediately adjacent to the public right-of-way, public facilities, residences, etc. We understand that contractors may have some site-specific input/recommendations, however the Owner and Engineer/Project Manager should provide the overall expectations and framework, to be submitted as part of the City’s Development approvals process. The City will expect an update once the contractor is selected and the construction schedule is confirmed, and if there are any contractor-specific additions to the document.
The Construction Management Plan is a living document shall be reviewed and updated as required, seasonally or as changes arise and submitted to the City.
The Owner and Owner’s Engineer/Project Manager shall submit a monthly update report to the City, (or more frequently, depending on the stage of development) detailing the activities undertaken for the development, until final assumption (i.e. contractor activities, sediment & erosion control inspections/maintenance, stormwater management facility inspection/maintenance, etc.).
*Additional information regarding project/site specific needs and requirements must be confirmed in collaboration with the City’s Engineering & Corporate Assets Department.
A Construction Management Plan is required at the time of the first engineering design submission (Subdivision) or first Site Plan submission and shall include*, but not be limited to:
1. Project Description
2. Project Team & Contact Information and Communication Plan
3. Signed Acknowledgement from Owner and Owner’s Engineer that the Construction Management Plan will be adhered to and in the event issues/complaints are not addressed in the timeframes noted or to the satisfaction of the City, the City can immediately stop all works and any charges incurred by the City, including administration fees, will be invoiced back to the Owner.
