PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING abreast of current developments. The project's designated Contract Administrator (CA) reviews the construction documents prior to the pre- construction meeting and visits the construction site regularly to monitor construction progress and answer the contractor's questions. The CA keeps the Client abreast of construction progress and answers the contractor's questions, issues a punch list and verifies completion of the project. Our services include a one -year post - occupancy walk- through to review project issues after the user -group is in place and prior to the expiration of warranties and construction management delivery for especially challenging projects. IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE AND CONSTRUCTION BUDGET A detailed project schedule, with the description of all tasks and project milestones, will be established and submitted to the City Project Manager for approval. ACAI's approach to the project process is guided by the project's schedule and involves continuous coordination with the City's Project Manager. The Design phase will need to be established once input is received and a Program is approved. This schedule depends on approvals by the City's staff, committees and the Commission. Some of these approvals require public posting prior to the authority and ability to vote for approval. A couple of areas that receive special attention in projects that are delivered in the CMAR format are permitting and estimating Design Assist. This is because the builder is brought onboard early to fully understand the project and help control costs through design assist from their subs and vendors. This format brings the following key features: • Pricing and startup in real -time • Early start due to timely completion of permit documents • Freezing of GMP documents to produce a guaranteed maximum price • Project duration and scheduling is more realistic and is established jointly (but ACAI will monitor through as per our schedule) PROJECT COORDINATION As Principal in Charge, Adolfo Cotilla oversees the management of all assignments for which he is responsible and will maintain direct contact with City throughout the project duration. His responsibilities include overseeing the project team, reviewing financial project goals, meeting with the Project Managers and project teams, reviewing the schedule and maintaining relationships with the client contacts as well as with the Developer's Project Manager and construction team. ACAI's Project Manager and the Project Architect are responsible for managing the client relationship, the Project Team and project within the scope, services, schedule and construction budget as outlined in the RFQ.
