RFQ No. 15-08-02 Construction Management at Risk for Government Center Annex at 18080 Collins Avenue 36 Project Management Services Section K A BALANCED APPROACH OF PROCESS AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ACHIEVE OUTSTANDING RESULTS Over the course of hundreds of successfully completed projects, we have developed a clearly defined base-line level for quality – both in how we approach and manage the project and the final product. While established processes create the framework for our interactions, project managers and superintendents have the authority to make decisions in the field to address the myriad of variables that make up a construction project. The senior management team is actively involved in every project and maintains direct communication that expedites critical decisions, making us more responsive to your needs. We have invested heavily in the industry’s top talent, ensuring the successful completion of virtually every type and size of project. Additionally, we implement innovative control procedures such as Building Better Buildings, our industry leading building envelope quality control system that keeps the buildings water tight. The high level of enthusiasm that permeates our team translates into a willingness to go the extra mile for clients and respond with creativity and initiative to the challenges of each unique project. The Kaufman Lynn Construction management approach is focused on fulfilling the objectives and program of Sunny Isles Beach to produce the Government Center Annex project within the established budget and on schedule. To accomplish this we will draw on our extensive expertise constructing CM at Risk projects, municipal, educational and civic use facility. For each of these projects and many others, Kaufman Lynn Construction has partnered with the project owner, design team and key subcontractors to develop complete and sustainable budgets, maximize a design assist approach to the development of key elements of the design and seamlessly transitioned to the construction and timely completion of the projects. As a project partner, Kaufman Lynn Construction will provide leadership through the pre-construction & design, construction and post-construction phases of the project. We will accomplish this by establishing clear goals of the team and the responsibilities of each team member towards achieving these goals. Kaufman Lynn Construction will create and frequently update schedules that track the progress of team and establish venues to promote a collaborative teamwork approach to defining best practices and quality, evaluating cost benefits or potential savings opportunities and general issue resolution. A detailed description of this process follows on the following pages. DESIGN REVIEW & ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS As Construction Manager, our effort throughout the development of a project is as a design assist partner to the project team. Our function and accountability is to lend support to the design team through our “hands on” knowledge of constructability, pricing accuracy, market conditions, life cycle cost analysis, technical material and systems validation, energy efficiency vs. first cost analysis, schedule expertise, subcontractors and vendor selection, long lead and critical equipment procurement, LEED recommendations, and code experience, to name systems Used for pLanning, sChedULing, estimating and managing ConstrUCtion PROCORE – PROJECT MANAGEMENT Procore is an on-demand construction software designed to facilitate document management and team communication. By hosting documents online, they are available to all team members. Owners have 24/7 access to contract documents, change orders, RFI’s, meeting minutes, schedules and progress photos. P6 – SCHEDULING While all project managers and superintendents receive P6 training, a full time internal scheduler works with each team to develop schedules. Not only assures this high level use of the software, but also helps the project teams to think through the sequencing and learn from other projects. SMART BID – BID MANAGEMENT The easy to use program allows subcontractors to pre-qualify. Based on their profile, Kaufman Lynn Construction then distributes bid invites and documents. This not only allows for an efficient way to reach a large number of subcontractors, but the tracking tools provide valuable insight to our estimators which in turn leads to tighter estimates. NAVISWORKS MANAGE - BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) Navisworks allows us to import information from several platforms, including CAD files, digital photos (jpegs), and PDFs. By overlaying the documents we can better to analyze information related to the project. During pre-construction, we are able to utilize the 3D model and extrapolate data, view the design intent in context, and obtain quantities. This allows us to provide critical feedback to the client and design team with regards to cost and constructability. TIMBERLINE – ACCOUNTING Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Ledger, and Job Cost comprise the backbone of this integrated financial and operations construction management solution
