Our team has found tremendous success through the use of formal and informal partnering. At the job <br />level, we have implemented a frequent (bi- weekly /monthly) trend performance meeting. At this meeting, <br />we put all issues on the table for the entire project, and include them on our 4- Square Quality Matrix <br />(shown here), with the purpose of publicly identifying good and bad trends and formulating ideas for <br />continual improvement. This allows the team to <br />identify roadblocks that could potentially derail <br />the project, and find timely solutions. This meeting <br />also allows our team to celebrate good trends and <br />successes. During construction, Play -of -the -Day <br />Meetings will occur with all project stakeholders. <br />This will facilitate open dialogue between the <br />City, subcontractors, and our team. Our goal is to <br />implement management systems that have been <br />successful on past projects to identify long lead <br />time items, implement design optimization and <br />sequence construction to meet the project goals. <br />These management systems will be combined <br />with existing subcontractor and supplier <br />relationships built upon numerous of projects <br />within the southeastern United States. The <br />relationships have been fostered over many years with local subcontractors and suppliers and will be <br />of use throughout the execution of work. Familiarity with these firms will allow the project to avoid <br />initial confusion and make it easier to organize scopes of work and facilitate jobsite coordination. <br />Our other prime opportunity to facilitate communication between parties will be in our formal partnering <br />sessions. Overall, our approach to partnering will be to establish a true "partnership" with the City based on <br />effective communication, relationships, and proactive team problem solving. It is clear from experience that <br />this approach works and will optimize the ability for each success criteria established for the project to be <br />achieved. <br />An effective partnering program will set the stage for positive team - building, which is based on: <br />♦ Team Building and Planning: Beginning during pre- construction this step defines the Project Success Criteria. <br />♦ Organizing the Team: Structuring and staffing the team and integrating the various entities involved. <br />Establishes peer -peer relationships and uses task groups to solve problems. <br />♦ Monitoring Effectiveness of the Team: Establishing a regular reporting and monitoring system for the <br />project, including conducting joint evaluation and discussion of overall project status. <br />MKiewitConstruction of the North Bay Road Pedestrian Emergency Bridge I No. 14 -09 -01 <br />
