Bidding/Preconstruction

RFP Response:
Each RFP response shall include detailed pricing, a complete schedule and a detailed logistics plan prepared by the PM team.

Other responsible team members:

2. Insurance, statement of Qualifications, and prime contract review Operations

3. Financial requirements - Controller

4. Final review and approval - Ownership

The following items are to be tracked and submitted to the client by the bidding PM, to avoid late RFP responses.

Pricing:
Upon receipt of an RFP and approval from ownership it is the responsibility of the PM to completely descope the plans either by himself or with the help of his PE for bidding. This includes a thorough review of all plans, specs, addendums and other project information. The completeness of this descope and review is the responsibility of the PM, and the use of a PE should be used for assistance only. The PM will then develop a detailed and complete narrative and CSI list outlining the scope of the project and submit these to the bid coordinator for bidding. The PM at this time will very often have to assist the bid coordinator by contacting key subs for pricing. Coverage of scopes is a shared responsibility between the coordinator and the PM team on every project. The PM will also confirm and verify that we have appropriately vetted the bidding subs for each project and confirmed they are capable and appropriate for each project. Any variations or concerns must be discussed with ownership. The PM will prepare for ownership an RFP review for ownership sign off on project pursuit. During this meeting the PM must be prepared to explain the project scope as well as any concerns he identified during the review.
Upon receipt of pricing it is the responsibility of the PM to evaluate the subcontractor proposals prior to preparing our RFP response. All subcontractor scopes must be reviewed for completeness prior to use in client RFP response.

Job Setup:
During development of our bidding sheet for RFP response the PM will completely fill out a job setup for use in review of RFP prior to issuance. This job setup (aka budget) will be used and updated for any cost impacts, and CORs both compensable and non-compensable. This sheet must be continuously and accurately updated in real time.

Scheduling:
It is the responsibility of the PM to establish during bidding a reasonable construction schedule. This schedule should always include lag time for potential early completion and/or project delay absorption. A separate schedule must be prepared and issued to the field and used for subcontracts, this schedule should be accelerated, doable but accelerated. This is our goal schedule and the delta between this field schedule and our owner contract schedule provides our opportunity to both deliver early, as well as absorb unforeseen delays. All schedules must include project specific concerns, long lead items and critical path. They should also include any non-construction team activities that will impact on completion and project turnover. The Pm should present to the PM to review dates provided by client during bidding and if there are conflicts with PMs schedule and client expectation, PM to review with Ownership.
Maintaining the schedule timeline will at times require contingency planning, added hours, or a revision to workflow. Once a potential slippage has been identified the PM will immediately begin internal ownership discussions to review his plan to avoid delays. All schedules are to be updated weekly. Updated schedules are to be saved separately with new dates in the saved file name to delineate between contract schedules and job progress schedules.

Logistics:
During bidding and after site walk the PM shall create a complete logistics plan for the site.

RFP Submission:
All RFP requirements are to be cleanly laid out in one PDF document for client submission. It is the responsibility of the PM to submit a clean RFP response.

Schedules are required to be updated on a weekly basis.

RFIs / Submittals/Transmittals:
It is the responsibility of the PM to maintain up to date RFI and Submittal logs. The PM should be checking logs with outstanding responses from design team, vendors, and owner to make sure that there is no delay with getting RFIs and Submittals answered. PMs may often be tasked with prioritizing RFIs to maintain schedule. All potential cost and delay RFIs should be flagged as critical in both the meeting minutes, the appropriate log and via email to the team.

The PM must have daily contact and confirmation that all work is and will proceed as planned and scheduled. This contact includes all team members both internal to ConAm and external (subs, client, consultants, and design team, etc.)

Change Orders:
Change orders need to be tracked on an ongoing basis both from vendors and to the owner. An accurate log should be maintained weekly and job-setups to be updated each time a COR is created or received.
Each change order received from a vendor should be thoroughly reviewed against the contract documents and the vendors approved sub-contract. Any inconsistencies should be brought up to the vendor immediately. If the change order is valid to go to the owner, then an official COR should be created with all supporting backup included.

Once review is complete this will be issued to the appropriate subcontractor, at this time PM to issue confirming email outlining changes to the design team. This is confirmation must include the entire design team. Upon receipt of pricing for change Pm shall prepare a prompt COR referencing the change and the confirming email.

Meetings:
The PM will be responsible for all meeting minutes whether required by the owner or not. The PM is to write the history of the project with the meeting minutes. The PM is responsible for scheduling the meetings, setting up the conference call invite and dial in. The meeting minutes should always include the look ahead schedule, RFI and Submittal log, section for material delays (if any), and any specific information required for that weeks meeting.

Project Completion

The PM will need to assist the job coordinator with a complete close out package. The closeout process should be smooth from a construction stand point as it is expected we will have undertaken a thorough pre- punch. The closeout package will include answered RFIs, approved submittals, as-built drawings, reports, permit cards and any other pertinent information. The PM should plan for an internal review meeting with ownership to discuss issues that arose during the project and how future project might avoid these issues. The PM will be responsible to close out all bookkeeping items (CORs, added work, billings). The PM will be responsible and the main point for any warranty items that may arise after construction.

General

Procore:
The PM should be checking Procore daily for each project. They need to review RFIs and

Submittals for anything outstanding or missing the requires attention. The PM should also be reviewing photos daily to ensure they see what has happened each day and organize photos in a relevant manor.
The PM will need to setup a daily report template for each project so that ProCore automatically sends out a report to the PM, Super, Client. The daily report is our way of ensuring that information is being provided to the client daily. Procore Pre punch is required on every project beginning at the 70% complete milestone.

Company Ethics:
The PM is the face of the company to each project client. It is always imperative that the PM acts professionally and courteously. This extends not just to the client but to ConAms vendors, project architects and design team and anyone related to the project. Issues will always arise during a project, and it is the PMs responsibility to explain ConAms point effectively.
