RFQ No. 15-08-02 Construction Management at Risk for Government Center Annex at 18080 Collins Avenue 12 SAFETY PROGRAMS our saFEty EFForts EnComPass thE PubliC outsidE our ConstruCtion FEnCE We are not only concerned with the safety of our workers, but we also want to make sure that pedestrians and motorists around our jobsite have nothing to worry about. To that end, we develop detailed maintenance of traffic (MOT) plans, establishing safe, well signed passage for people outside the jobsite. jobsitE saFEty is a mindsEt At Kaufman Lynn Construction, a safe work site is paramount to a successful project, and a core value to assure a goal of zero accidents throughout the duration of construction process. We emphasizes the importance of everyone going home safe at the end of every work day. wE ExCEEd industry standards For suPErintEndEnt saFEty training and osha CErtiFiCation... We require our superintendents to receive advanced and on-going training certified to OSHA 30 (30 hours of training each year) requirements, well beyond OSHA 10 which is what most contractors require of their superintendents. This training includes fall protection training, trench and excavation training and host of related matters to keep our team up to date and certified in the latest and most innovative safety measures. ... and dEmand saFE PraCtiCEs From our subContraCtors We take our knowledge and teach these safety techniques to our subcontractors through Weekly Tool Box meetings. We gather the subs on the job site each week, review their current and upcoming project issues and discuss the safety measures that must be employed. an indEPEndEnt saFEty insPECtor doublE ChECks our EFForts In addition, we hire an independent OSHA certified Safety Inspector that visits each of our jobsites, unannounced, at least once a month. He files a report which is reviewed by our President Mike Kaufman, the Project Executive, and the Project Team with points and suggestions to be acted upon immediately. This Safety Action Plan (SAP) is inspected for completion and correctness at the 48 hour point by the Project Executive who reports its approval directly back to the company president. IMPLEMENTING LEED DURING PROJECT TO ACCUMULATE AS MANY POINTS AS POSSIBLE We implement “Green Building Techniques” even on projects that are not pursuing LEED Certification as part of our standard everyday practice. We recycle up to 90% of all construction debris on our jobsites by supplying each construction site with recycling containers. We provide pollution and erosion control; we have a concrete truck washout area on each site to prevent any soil contamination; we also pay very close attention to the Indoor Air Quality during construction. In our interior finishes we use low VOC paints, adhesives and sealants and we always achieve very high percentages of recycled content in our building materials. PHASE 3: POST-CONSTRUCTION PROJECT CLOSE-OUT To accomplish a true and complete closeout process, Kaufman Lynn Construction creates a ‘closeout matrix’ which details the requirements listed in the contract documents and our in house requirements we believe necessitate successful turn-over documents. The information from the matrix is submitted to all subcontractors to aid them in finalizing their portion of the closeout process at the 75% mark of the project. Kaufman Lynn Construction starts the closeout effort “day one” of the project assuring a continuing effort of gathering the appropriate documents so that the culmination of the process is simply “another day” rather than a frantic mad dash to the finish line, often missing the mark on complete documentation. All our superintendents are OSHA 30 Hour Trained and maintain safe site for both workers and the public. Project Approach & Understanding Section D
