WHY THE B&A TEAM Chain of Communication - The communication chain must be established with the Contractor, Architect, Engineers and the Owner prior to beginning the project. This will prevent an issue from sitting around waiting for the right person to address it. Our Construction Manager will be responsible for establishing the "direct contact" chain which identifies who will address the specific disciplines. The chain will be kept small to properly assign responsibility to the entities involved in the operations. Lowest Level Resolution - We will employ lowest level resolution whenever possible. It entails addressing issues at the field level and documenting an as-built condition or providing a series of design alternatives to the engineer of record before generating the RFI. The Construction Manager will take charge of the issue and provide direction to the Contractor. Close the Loop - All RFls will be signed and dated by the Construction Manager. If an item is not closed out. the Contractor may represent the Owner's inability to address issues in a timely manner and contribute support to global delay claims during the close of the project. Our Construction Manager will protect our Client from such claims. MANAGING CLOSE-OUT OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS Every item that arises on a project should be processed through resolution in order to avoid delays or lingering issues at the end of the project. Therefore, our Construction Manager will begin managing the close-out portion of a project on day one and will keep it at the top of the agenda throughout the project. The following issues are always carefully considered by our Construction Managers: Permit Close-Out Requirements - Our Construction Manager will monitor items that require certification submittals prior to the end date of the project. The Manager will review these items on a periodic basis, prepare reports and reconcile outstanding issues. Agency Acceptance - Agencies require specific close-out procedures in order to take over signalized intersections, potable water and sewage facilities, street lighting etc. Our Construction Manager will ensure that all agencies involved are coordinated and any that the necessary paper work required to convey the project components to the appropriate agency is prepared on time. As-Built Plans and Records - Accurate records will be maintained throughout the life of the project. Our QA/QC reviews will begin addressing the project at the 30%, 60% and 90% completion of the project. These reviews are designed to assist the Construction Manager in maintaining control of the project's final audit package. We believe that our Team brings the right staff with the necessary level of project maturity along with a sound design philosophy, a savvy permitting approach and proven construction administration capabilities that will deliver project that are welcomed by the public, cost effective and environmentally friendly. 9 ~ www.bermelloajamil.com
