Abstract: Multi-prime contract is a procurement model where the owner is directly entering into a contract with a number of different trades to complete a program. The model allows the owner more control over each work element but places an additional burden on the owner to manage and coordinate all of its trades. This would require a sophisticated master schedule aligned with each trade's plan to complete the work and identification of potential risks as the project develops.
This paper provides recommendations on developing a baseline master schedule, utilizing project documents to analyze resources and identify risks, as well as recommendations regarding the contract schedule language that will not be overly burdensome on the trade and would still protect the owner from coordination claims as they arise throughout the project.
