GATEWAY PARK CENTER 19-01-01 TGSV Enterprises, Inc. Page 3 needs service, what the model number is, what parts / materials are required, and who the service representative is, if required. This will also allow us to assist the Owner in analyzing the life cycle costs of the project and help in determining what products to use for the project, not only from an upfront cost analysis, but from an overall facilities cost. 3. Products and Procedures Review: Our team’s construction management experience has exposed us to almost every different material and construction technique available to our industry. This experience has provided us firsthand knowledge of what materials work best in given situations; which products can be substituted to provide cost effective alternatives to a project; which construction techniques are most cost effective, time effective and logistically suited for a project; and which products will provide the best life and minimal maintenance based on the environment, usage and exposure of the project. Our team, through its LEED AP BD+C accredited staff, will also provide a Life Cycle Analysis and Energy Efficiency analysis on all the Roofing, Thermal Insulation, Exterior Finishes, Mechanical Systems, Plumbing/Irrigation Systems, and Electrical/Lighting Systems. This process can also be used to achieve a LEED Certification, if desired, for the project. The following are just some examples of Value Engineering techniques that we will provide for this project. This is not an all-inclusive list: a) Material Review: Our team will review the materials required for the project prior to the creation of the material specifications. Once the major functioning materials are identified by the Team, a list will be created listing each item by CSI category. The list will have columns identifying what products are available for each material. Each product will then be issued a value based on a point system that analyzes life cycle, cost, availability, maintenance and warranty. The product with the highest rating will then be submitted to the Team for approval. The list will also have a final column for alternate materials should something be available that can substitute what was originally intended for that area. Any alternate materials will be scored accordingly. b) Construction Techniques: At the commencement of our pre-construction services we will meet with the Team and agree on goals for budget and time for the project. Based on these, our team will evaluate what elements and construction techniques best suit the projects criteria. We will also analyze the logistics of the project site and consider how the construction techniques being considered will influence the phasing / staging of the project. Once we have agreed to what our options are for each area, we will again score each option based on feasibility, life cycle, cost, availability, maintenance and warranty. The scores will be analyzed and the technique receiving the highest score will be submitted for approval.
