The council, which will own the $900M future home of the Thunder, approved a $2.275M contract for pre-construction services with Minneapolis-based Mortenson and its local joint venture partner, Flintco, while the outline of a construction manager at-risk agreement that would provide the construction firm with a 3% fee for CM at-risk duties (i.e., the actual construction of the venue) was also included.Mortenson was selected to build its fifth NBA arena over bids from PCL Construction and Turner, which also interviewed for the job.Mortenson’s team will be led by Kirk Mammen (Principal in Charge) and Kevin Dalager (VP, Operations). The contractor, one of the few with a devoted national sports practice, joins a project team that already includes the city’s owners’ rep, CAA Icon, and architects Manica and TVS. Mortenson also built NBA buildings Chase Center (designed by Manica), Fiserv Forum, Ball Arena, and Target Center. Mortenson, Manica and CAA Icon also designed and built Allegiant Stadium.[ CAA Icon has built itself over 20 years into a quiet but dominant force in the facilities industryOpens in new window ]Flintco and Mortenson’s contract, included in the city council’s agenda packet, detailed a project schedule that’d see conceptual design completed by April 11, followed by schematic design finishing in early September. In parallel, demolition of the former convention center sitting on the site of the future arena will begin in late March and conclude in late September of this year, with construction to begin Feb. 2026 and be completed by June 2028.The construction manager at-risk (CMAR) project delivery method sees the contractor involved in all phases of the project (including the earliest phases) with the aim of keeping the budget under the guaranteed maximum price. If the project costs exceed the GMP, the CMAR pays for any overruns, hence, the “at-risk” aspect. The maximum available funds for the specific construction portion of the project is $688.5M; the overall $900M cost includes all the other expenses associated with the project.</div></body>
