4. Approach /Methodolo gY Willingness to Meet Time and Budget Requirements Target Engineering Group has a process driven approach to complete projects on time and under budget. Our r] commitment starts before the construction phase and it will continue throughout the construction phase. The key tasks below summarize our proven approach: • Perform independent bidability & constructability reviews, • Review permit documents for special conditions, • Perform additional utility soft digs if needed to verify conflicts, • Run a quantity check on major work items prior to construction, • Develop a baseline schedule and check the contract time against baseline schedule, • Review procurement time to make sure that it is adequate, • Check the job site for staging and site access, • Review MOT phases to make sure the number of lanes configuration is achievable, • Coordinate with on -going projects in the area, 1 • Take lead in arranging utility preconstruction and weekly meetings, • Stress the cost and time overrun goals in the preconstruction conference, • Make use of the Contractor's two week look ahead schedule to anticipate issues, t 1 • Review the Contractor's base line schedule and monthly updates, • Follow the partnering in principle and actions, • Answer RFIs in a timely fashion, • Before adding any extra work, do an independent estimate to arrive at a fair price, l • Process monthly pay applications in a timely fashion, )j • Conduct a pre- activity meeting to discuss the Contractor's work method, and • Close out pay items as and when they are completed. Some of the most common causes of disputes on construction projects are plan and contract documents deficiencies, utility conflicts and unknown site conditions. The Target Team strongly believes that these problems are not beyond the ability of construction engineering and observation team to prevent, minimize L or resolve. Our approach will promote an avoidance of claims and disputes by instituting mechanisms to facilitate open communications and early identification of contentious issues. Our methods will be fair and r 1 professional. Project Controls and Contracts Administration Target's implementation strategy as it relates to this RFQ involves the timely selection of CM staff, which depending on the specific assignment will be presented to the County's Project Manager for his approval. Once the CM staff has been selected, Target will put into action the strategies that we have developed and implement on each of our CM projects we manage. During the life of a project, we pair construction managment strategies with maior proiect activities to ensure the proiect budget is kept on track Here are a few: Target Engineering Group, Inc.
