1. Pre-Construction Phase Services Administration: The construction manager (CM) shall attend and participate in all design phase team meetings once engaged. The CM shall prepare a site logistics and utilization plan for review by the Owner. Scheduling: Develop a detailed master project schedule immediately upon award. This schedule should be developed using a computerized scheduling program to facilitate easy updates and adjustments. The schedule will include all phases and individually staged projects to achieve the final facility the work: program development, design, bidding, City Council approval of the contracts and all construction activities through close out of the project. • Provide a sample work product of the schedule in the proposal. Critical Path Items: At each stage of project development, identify “long lead” or other items difficult to obtain in current procurement environment. Plan for these items to maintain uncompromised project schedule. Cost Estimating: The CM shall provide the following cost estimates: 100% Schematic Design Drawings 100% Design Development Document 50% & 75% Construction Documents o Include a listing of allowance items including non-construction items (like furniture) needed for a complete facility in each estimate. o Provide a sample work product of the estimate in the proposal Design Consultation, Document & Constructability Review: Review questions regarding economic and constructability of various details and systems as asked by the design team and observed by the CM staff during review of progress design drawings. 2. Bid and Permit Phase Services: Bid Packages: Create bid package descriptions and bid forms from one set of drawings as needed to create multiple prime contracts to lead to a cohesive complete project construction cost. Repeat this process if required for multiple projects to complete the overall work. The Construction Manager shall act as the Coordinating Contractor, even if they do not self-perform construction activities. Solicit Bids: Assist the Owner in publicly advertising and soliciting competitive bids from qualified fixed price proposals for work. Directly contact potential bidders and confirm multiple bids will be received. Attend a public bid opening at City Hall for each bid package. If there are less than three bids received for any package, do not open bids for that package; repeat solicitation with new bid date. Evaluate Bids: Assist the Owner and Architect in identifying the lowest qualified proposals. Recommend a full slate of firms needed to accomplish the scope of work. If value engineering is required to maintain project budgets, identify options and work with the Owner, Architect, and bidders to bring the project scope back to an affordable level. Prepare Contracts for Construction: Quadrant Design will provide AIA standard forms of Agreement for the CM to complete with project data. City of Columbia will execute contracts for each bid package.
