Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) Request for Qualifications No. 20-07-01 Project Approach and Understanding D-8 performing construction management services. The lessons learned in the field are incorporated into design, and the engineers have the knowledge to make educated decisions about the acceptability of the work. During the construction phase, it is important that experienced personnel oversee the construction efforts. CMA believes strongly in outlining clear requirements, parameters and expectations for the construction management team to be working on each project. Such parameters must be established in the contract document and the expectations should be clearly communicated during the bidding phase and construction phases. CMA will function as an extension of staff to ensure the project remains on track, within budget and within schedule while keeping the City thoroughly informed of the progress of the project during construction by following the pre-established project management strategies. The engineering construction and inspection department at Chen Moore and Associates assist the engineers in many aspects of the project including: • Constructability Review and Quantity Measurement • Bidding and Contract Awards Assistance • Shop Drawing Review • Contract Administration and Payments • Field Inspection and Reporting • NPDES Compliance • Field Engineering and Problem Solving • Public Information and Liaison with Community Density Testing One of the main technical advantages of the CMA team comes from the use of GIS technology during construction inspection and management.

Checking detailed construction and shop drawings submitted by the contractor for compliance with the design concept The CMA Team has extensive experience reviewing plans for internal projects and for outside clients. Chen Moore and Associates understands the need for internal review of design drawings. Plan review is done by professional engineers as well as field inspectors, who give feedback on the constructability of projects. CMA also realizes that it is sometimes necessary to review and verify work performed by prior consultants. Shop drawings will be reviewed in a timely manner. The CMA Team has established contacts with several
