8) Evidence of capabilities for construction scheduling, material procurement, and assurance that plans, specifications, and schedules are rnet. During the construction of your project, our team has several software program options, Primavera SureTrak or Microsoft Project, depending on the preference of the client. These state-of- the-art software programs allow complete control of scheduling including critical path, resource management, cost loading control, management graphics and cost reports. Further project organization enhancements by phase, responsibility and crew sizing are available and used on our projects. Schedules are developed on Primavera SureTraklMicrosoft Project and custom software from historical data of similar projects with input from trade contractors, tempered for geographic location, market conditions and Owner/End User time constraints and input from the facility that the work will be performed on. Scheduling shut downs, hours of operation, "quiet times" and other facility specific dates are identified up front and considered when preparing the schedule in preconstruction. Master schedules, updated monthly, and mini two week "look-ahead" schedules, updated weekly, are routine for all projects. The W.G. Mills team will use this computer-based schedule control system at the project site to ensure that updates and schedule reports can be accessed as necessary. Our schedule control system provides the printed schedule reports and computer plotted network diagrams used by the project team so that its trade contractors, suppliers, Owner and Architect will know the exact status of the project along with present and future needs. Scheduling controls utilized are: · Project master schedule · Design/review/bid/award schedules · Pre-bid construction schedules · Detailed construction schedules · Short interval work schedules All of these schedules will be developed at the job site using computer-based CPM scheduling technology. Important features of this technology are that it incorporates a resource-loading capability and produces plotter-driven graphics in both network and bar chart formats. During the construction phase the schedule is maintainedl updated as necessary to keep the project on schedule. Some projects under difficult constraints will be updated as often as daily while most require weekly updates. Once a schedule has been developed and committed to by all parties, we ask to be given the authority to enforce the agreements. There are many types of computer-based scheduling aids available that we use, but the key is commitment and follow-through by the parties making the decisions and performing the work. -'. In concert with Primavera SureTrak and Microsoft Project, our team utilizes the Prolog Manager Project Control Software. Prolog Manager represents a new breed of construction software that was designed to be utilized by construction superintendents, construction managers, project managers, project engineers or project support staff. Prolog Manager can calculate the actual start and finish dates, the actual duration, the remaining duration and the percentage completed for each CPM task. This information is exported back to Primavera to update the project schedule. This provides two benefits to the project: . Enhances daily work description documentation . Provides a quick and simple update of schedules, creates fresh as-built schedules. Prolog Manager eliminates many tedious hours of manually tracking the daily details of a construction project. In addition to saving time, Prolog Manager reports project information in a wide variety of ways to help manage the project. Prolog Manager is utilized to record and manage an enormous amount of daily construction project information: . Comprehensive project budget information . Prime contract, subcontract and design consultant contracts . Purchase orders and a purchase order catalogue of frequently bought items . Proposed change orders including notifications of changes to an owner and request for proposals . Change order requests that allow you to submit and track multiple proposed change orders simultaneously . Prime contract change orders that are linked to the prime contract . Subcontract change orders that are linked to the corresponding su bcontracts . Professional supplemental service agreements linked to the corresponding designerlconsultant contract . Contract invoices for monthly billings · General (supplier or vendor) invoices . Applications for payment....and other items which can be discussed later with a Team representative. Coordination of subcontract scheduling information begins prior to construction. Each subcontractor is interviewed with respect to the project schedule covering the following issues: 1. Start date for subcontractor's scope of work. 2. Submittal requirements and specific timing on each. 3. Equipment and material fabrication and timing. 4. Anticipated manpower and production rates. 5. Quality assurance and inspection requirements. 6. Sequence requirements including the scheduled timing, material needs and equipment delivery. Scheduling updates and detailed information is discussed with the subcontractor on a weekly basis during job site meetings, and the discussion documented in action oriented meeting minutes. We coordinate construction scheduling through a combination of our subcontractor meetings prior to construction with our weekly scheduling updates. The Superintendent and Project Manager review the results of the weekly meetings and take the action steps they determine necessary. ~ Response to The City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 09-03-01 ~ Professional Construction Services for Heritage Park and Parking Garage ~"'.' ,.- ,.- submitted by IIJ] WG Mills Wo" Ha'd//BU;~ Right'
