These face to face sessions are invaluable to provide assessment of the trade and vendor capability, notwithstanding workload and labor resource. ComPrEhEnsivE bid For on-targEt Final PriCE With local market subcontractor and vendor interest at a high point, the final GMP estimate is prepared. Using Kaufman Lynn Construction’s Smart Bid program, all interested prequalified subcontractors are offered access to online drawings and specifications. During the development of this GMP, subcontractors are evaluated for their responsiveness to the bid documents, the quality and completeness of their proposal as well as the price for performing the work. Our goal is to secure a minimum of 5 proposals from qualified subcontractors for each scope discipline. Prior to reviewing the subcontractor and vendor bids, Kaufman Lynn Construction’s estimators perform quantity and scope takeoffs on all major scopes of work included in the project. Through the use of Kaufman Lynn Construction’s On Screen Take Off program, each component of work to be estimated can be highlighted and quantified, creating a complete scope sheet to compare to subcontractor pricing. These quantified and vetted subcontractor and vendor costs will be formatted in project summary form for final approval of the GMP, which now is inclusive of complete cost of work, preconstruction costs, approved Value Management and Options Analysis items, wish list items, general conditions and associated soft costs, final contingency amounts, and project fee. All this leads to a price that is final. ComPlEtE transParEnC y throughout thE ProCEss Our recommendation for subcontractors includes a detailed but easy to read “bid leveling sheet” which lists not only the bid as submitted by the subcontractors but also an analysis of the bid by our estimating team which clearly identifies any scope that may be missing from the bid or any substitutions made. The cost of these items is included and new totals calculated so that the City can compare “apples to apples”. The bid leveling sheet provides an easy to read summary, in addition we provide the City with full back-up of all bids received. CLAIMS MANAGEMENT Our claim management plan is one of claims avoidance at all costs, giving way to relationships over finance. We believe that from project start, developing a team accountability management comradery heightens awareness and responsibility to the project from all team members including the client, design team, contractor and subcontractors. This instills a group relationship based on clear, concise, and continual communication recognizing everyone’s responsibility to quality, duration and cost. When project teams are fully engaged, team processes, objectives and goals more easily integrated into the success of each partner and creates a synergy that moves the project through its daily hurdles to successful completion, eliminating the need for any type of claim submission. Kaufman Lynn initiates and leads this risk management process on behalf of the client by clearly understanding client expectations and proactively detailing same to all subcontractors and vendors. We “deep dive” into all subcontract scope to assure complete and code compliant work, quality level expectations, installation durations aligned with project schedule, resource availability and work hour requirements.
