GATEWAY PARK CENTER 19-01-01 TGSV Enterprises, Inc. Page 4 c) Life Cycle Analysis / Energy Efficiency: In the same manner that we analyzed the materials used in item a. of this section, the Team will analyze the equipment required for the project. We will also, through our LEED AP staff, provide a detailed Efficiency and Sustainability analysis based on the standards created by both the United States Green Building Council and the Green Building Certification Institute. d) Budget Analysis: Our team has developed a reliable cost management system based on experienced analysis of local markets and experience with previous projects geared to the delivery of projects within budget. The effectiveness and success of our cost management system is attributed to the following factors: • Understanding of Entire Construction Process • Knowledge of Local Market • Cost Data from Similar Projects • Cost Data Verification with Manufacturers, Local Contractors and Local Suppliers • Project Scope and Budget Validation at each phase of design Our local market familiarity, experience, and cost management system provides clients reliable construction budgets and effective cost control. PHASING AND SCHEDULE As stated above, TGSV incorporates scheduling/phasing as part of our cost review; as time is money for everyone. We ensure that our trades are involved in this process so they have a sense of accountability and ownership in the schedule. The same goes for the Owner/end user. Understanding their needs and what they envision the impact to their facility will be during construction is key to minimizing interruptions to the construction process; and also ensures that the proper phasing/logistics are included in the project schedule and cost. Below please find the different Scheduling Forms that will be utilized by our Team throughout the course of our services for both internal and external communication. The reports are as follows: 1. Primavera Project Planner Critical Path Construction Schedule: This report monitors the progress of each detailed procurement and construction activity. It provides the scheduled start date, finish date, duration, float, phase and area of each activity; plus it provides the list of activities which are on the “critical path” of the project. As the report is updated with the actual progress of the project, it advises which activities are ahead of schedule, on schedule or behind schedule, and automatically updates which activities are on the “critical path” of the project. The generation of the schedule is based on two keys items. First we will create a baseline schedule that is derived from our 20 years of construction experience and archived schedules. Second, this baseline schedule is issued to all trade contractors at a pre-construction meeting
