The March 4\, 2025\, education session will not be offered virtually.\n \n*Please note that anyone who registers for our quarterly meeting events and does not notify us at least seven (7) days prior to the event(s) that they will not be attending or does not find a substitute to come in their place\, will be assessed a no-show fee of $250. \nA block of rooms has been reserved at: \nRenaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel\n100 N. 1st Street\nPhoenix\, AZ 85004 \nPLEASE BOOK YOUR ROOM HERE no later than Friday\, February 7\, 2025. We cannot guarantee rooms after this date. This is high season in Phoenix which means that a) the hotel will not cushion our arrival/departure dates of March 3-5 with a few days before and after so anyone wishing to extend their stay should call the hotel directly and pay the going rate; and b) if you do not book before the cutoff date above\, you will most likely not get a room here or you will pay a very high premium to do so once they release the rooms back into general inventory. \n**Update as of 1/22/25: Our room block is sold out for Wednesday\, March 5th. You can call the hotel directly and ask if there are any rooms available at the going rate. If you need to cancel your room for any reason\, please contact Teresa first so we can tranfer it to someone who still needs a room. \nSchedule of Events:\nTuesday\, March 4\, 2025 – 8:30 am – 4:00 pm – Education Session: Implementation of Collaborative Delivery\nSundt\n2630 South 20th Place\nPhoenix\, AZ 85034\n \n\n Time Topic 8:30 am - 8:45 am Implementation Timeline and Curriculum Overview Review of Implementation Timeline 8:45 am - 9:30 am Implementation Chapter 8 Establishing Tone and Scope for a Successful Project 9:30 am - 10:15 am Implementation Chapter 9Establishing an Open-Book Cost Model (Estimate Format) 10:15 am - 10:30 am Short Break 10:30 am - 11:15 am Implementation Chapter 9Evaluating Early Work Package Proposals 11:15 am - 12:00 pm Lunch 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Implementation Chapter 9 Assessing and Verifying Cost and Contingency 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Implementation Chapter 10 Agreeing on the Guaranteed Contract Price Proposal 2:00 pm - 2:15 pm Short Break 2:15 pm - 3:15 pm Implementation Chapter 12 Defining and Implementing Performance Criteria and Contract Terms 3:15 pm - 3:45 pm Implementation Chapter 13 Substantial Completion and Post Completion 3:45 pm - 4:00 pm Wrap-Up\, Discussion\, and Feedback \n\nTuesday\, March 4\, 2025 – 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm – WCDA Quarterly Social (hosts TBD)\nPedal Haus Brewery\n214 E.
