These documents must be complete and thorough—not vague or contradictory. Any • dispute that occurs will be resolved by the contract documents, which must clearly support the City's position. • Procurement Phase 1 Kimley-Horn has been successful on past projects in using multiple contracts and direct purchase of major • equipment items. The City can realize cost savings by avoiding contractor markups on the direct purchase of • major equipment items and by taking advantage of your sales tax exempt status, which general contractors • must build into their costs. Kimley-Horn understands the importance of being responsive during the bid phase. Answering contractor questions and issuing clarifications or addenda in a timely manner during the bid phase can mean the difference between delivering a successful construction project on time and within • budget or navigating through a project riddled with disputes. Our contractor evaluation procedures will also • help the City in identifying the contractor who will best suit your needs. • Construction Phase • Unlike other firms that separate the construction phase team from the design team, our philosophy is to • maintain the continuity of the design staff during construction. Because these individuals are the most familiar ® with the design of your project, there is no learning curve during its construction. Kimley-Horn's professional staff has extensive experience in construction administration and will keep the contractor on task, on time, and • within budget. Our experience will result in the delivery of a quality project that will make the City and Kimley- • Horn proud. • Project Field Representative • Our on-site project field representative will observe contractor operations throughout the construction ® process. This is particularly important for components that will be buried or otherwise hidden from view at • the conclusion of the project. Pipelines, foundations, pumps, conduit, and internal components must be ® inspected prior to installation and comprehensively photographed for future reference. All of these activities will be documented in daily reports and photographs prepared and cataloged by the field representative. • Any deviations will be brought to the City's and contractor's attention as they are discovered so they can be • resolved quickly.
