PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & SCOPE OF
WORK

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & SCOPE OF WORK
Z&K Consultants has features, skills and services that distinguish our firm and make it the better choice for the City.

The Z&K Team has significant local experience to the City and community of Downey, unmatched experience to perform Construction Management and Inspection Services, and have highly skilled, multi-disciplined, and technical staff with extensive similar project experience.

We will support the City to meet their Strategic Plan Goals::
§ Fiscal Responsibility - Maintain a Financially Stable Local Government
§ Economic Vibrancy - Support community needs through a stable, vibrant and diverse local economy
§ Efficiency & Adaptability - Create an environment where new process and programs are encouraged and are used to improve internal and external services
§ Quality of Life, Safety and Infrastructure - Foster a safe community through key investments and provide inclusive, diverse community programs and activities
§ Public Engagement - Cultivate a trustworthy and participatory local government through equitable, transparent, and effective processes All projects are rated according to the following priority levels:
§ Priority 1: The project is urgent and/or mandated,
and must be completed quickly. Failure to
address the project will impact the health, safety,
or welfare of the community, or have a significant
impact on the financial well-being of the City. The
project must be initiated or financial/opportunity
losses will result.
§ Priority 2: The project is important and addressing
it is necessary. The project impacts safety, law
enforcement, health, welfare, economic base,
and/or the quality of life in the community.
§ Priority 3: The project would enhance the quality
of life and would provide a benefit to the
community. Completion of the project would
improve the community providing cultural,
recreational, and/or aesthetic effects.
§ Priority 4: The project would be an improvement
to the community, but need not be completed
within a five year capital improvement program.

As the City evaluates and determines its priority projects, it also considers external mandates, program needs, state policy direction, and available funding sources: eternal mandates, program needs, state policy direction, and fading consideration.

General Fund Operational Impacts: The vast majority of projects in the City’s five-year CIP are capital maintenance projects with no future net impact on the general fund operating budget. In a few cases, there may be some minor savings due to increased energy efficiency or a reduction of water use. Where there will be operational impacts (i.e., landscaping services required after the installation of a new landscaped median) those costs have been noted in the chart depicting CIP project cost projections over the next five years.

The Z&K Team has been working diligently to understand
every aspect of the City’s projects including reviewing the City’s Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. This
involvement provides us with a deeper understanding of the challenges that the City’s projects may be facing, as well as familiarity with the site and nearby stakeholders. This knowledge and preliminary legwork will help us to hit the ground running and help the contractor understand the project better, preventing possible issues that may arise. We
understand that the City’s structurally balanced budget for FY2023-2024 is $272 million and the proposed General Fund expenditures are $115,079,000, which is a 2.7 percent
increase over the previous years General Fund budget. The projected Public Works total for FY 2023-2024 is
$132,831,224. The City has upcoming engineering
construction work, including streets, traffic safety, public facilities, water utilities, sewer, and storm water.

RISK MANAGEMENT LOG
Our team members personally know the residents of the City of Downey and are very familiar with the City’s Projects. Our Senior Construction Inspector has performed a comprehensive review of the City’s upcoming projects. Our Team has prepared a risk management log which includes potential risks and response strategies based on the project scope and lessons learned.

No. Risk Description Response Strategy
1 Traffic Control/
Street Closure
Restriction
Z&K will ensure that project phasing is followed for lowest impact to businesses and public. Our team will review the traffic control plans to ensure they comply with the WATCH manual and MUTCD requirements. We will review it for minimum lane widths and as well as continuous and safe access for pedestrians. We will ensure temporary pavement markings are implemented.

Our team will work closely with the Contractor to provide advanced notice to first responders and essential services. A very robust but fluid traffic plan needs to be reviewed and approved. The final language in the traffic control must allow the city to direct the contractor to make adjustments to the approved traffic control plan as needed due to unanticipated traffic issues.

Contractor must have daily street sweeping for rocks and gravel on adjacent streets until the final process is completed. 2 Public/ Agency
Outreach
Due to the projects’ potential proximity to residences, Z&K will provide robust community outreach efforts prior to the start of construction that will inform both the residents in the vicinity of the project and commercial properties in the vicinity of the project the proposed start dates and completion dates of the project. Z&K will provide concierge-level service to the community and residents.

Ongoing contact and communication with local residents and business impacted by construction activity is crucial. This will include notification prior to the commencement of construction and throughout the entire process. Outreach will not be limited to minimum City requirements but will be a daily ongoing pursuit. Our team is very familiar with the community and will effectively navigate the significant coordination required. It is imperative that our community outreach does not only include property owners, business owners and residents, but also elected officials, management from the City, and all affected agencies.
3 Agency
Coordination
Our Team will ensure that all agencies affected by this Project are invited to the pre-construction conference and informed of the Project schedule and progress. Z&K will ensure that the Project complies with all permit requirements and environmental mitigation measures.
4 Requirements for
Response After
Hours or on Non-
Working Days
In previous projects, issues would arise after working hours or on weekends that would require the contractor to immediately respond and perform traffic control measure and/or street sweeping. Contacting and getting a response from the contractor after hours varied and was difficult for our team to enforce. We highly recommend adding language to the specifications outlining that the contractor shall respond to communication from Z&K and City staff immediately (including a maximum time allowed) and be available to respond immediately to after hour and non-working day requests (including a maximum time allowed). This is due to the type of time sensitive issues that arose during previous projects to have the contractor respond to resident concerns. We also recommend adding that if these times are not met, the city will contract with an emergency response team to be later back charged to the contractor.

5 Long Lead Item
Procurement
We will consider long lead items, material and equipment availability, special delivery, or construction requirements. Z&K has success on recent projects issuing an Administrative Notice to Proceed for the Contractor to begin on submittals for long lead items and submittals.

We will ensure the contractor begins process to order/procure possible long lead items or items that require coordination.

Long lead procurement items are to be identified in contractor’s CPM and closely monitored by the Team. The long lead items for projects may include traffic signals, electrical equipment, lighting, plumbing fixtures, etc. 6 Required Street
Sweeping
The Contractor shall submit a clear plan to provide street sweeping throughout construction. This plan should include the number of street sweeping machines as well as contingency plans for emergency after hours sweeping as needed. The Contractor shall defer to the inspector to make the final determination of street sweeping needs prior to the end of work hours. 7 Work Performed
near Schools, Parks,
Libraries, or
Emergency
Response Facilities
The projects may include construction work adjacent to schools, parks, libraries, and emergency response facilities. The community outreach and traffic control in these areas must be tailored and site specific.

We will ensure that the submitted traffic control plan for these areas is robust, accommodates school drop off and pick up and other stie specific requirements. More flagman or traffic control will be required for sensitive areas. Specific community outreach will be performed by Z&K to ensure that these facilities are kept up to date on construction activities. 8 Change Orders
To assist in controlling cost, Z&K will conduct a pre-construction site walk with City staff members to identify areas that could potentially result in unanticipated costs. During construction, Z&K will conduct site visits with City staff, as needed, to minimize change orders and cost increases.

Z&K will closely monitor the work and proactively manage the change order process. We will identify potential change orders early and proactively develop solutions.
9 Weekend
Work/Overtime
Requested by
Contractor
Due to unforeseen issues when scheduling manpower and materials, it may be necessary for the contractor to work evenings or weekends. This provision is important to minimize any additional costs to the City for the benefit of the contractor. All overtime shall be approved by the City prior to the commencement of work and all associated costs for inspection shall be at the expense of the contractor. This item shall be included as a discussion item in the pre-construction conference. 10 Delays Due to Other
Projects
Z&K will work closely with the City to ensure that other scheduled projects do not interfere with our project. We will also work closely with local agencies to ensure project schedule overlap and conflicts do not occur. 11 Public Safety
Z&K will work closely with the contractor to ensure that the Fire Department will be involved in the scheduling and planning stages for the streets. Law Enforcement will also be notified of all scheduled construction activity as this work will impact major traffic routes. All emergency responders will be notified of planned street closures in advance. 12 Pedestrian Access
During Construction The contractor is responsible to maintain pedestrian access around the project at all times. 13 Damage to Private
Properties
Damage to private property and vehicles occasionally occurs during construction activities. Community outreach shall include a procedure to notify Z&K immediately if any damage occurs.

We understand the importance of Schedule Control and are known in the industry for assisting the contractor to cut the project schedule and to yield significant savings for our clients through reduction of overhead management and construction costs. The most significant saving is less inconvenience to the traveling public and less City exposure due to shortened construction duration. This will help extend excess project funds into other important projects.

MANAGEMENT APPROACH | Z&K Consultants, Inc. provides proven professional construction management techniques to ensure the safe construction of a quality project completed on time and within budget. Z&K accomplished this by establishing the systems, policies, and procedures necessary to ensure adequate project controls are in place. The Team must ensure all parties understand the basic responsibilities and interrelationships of all team member such as the Owner (both project management and operations), the Design Engineer, the Contractor, the construction management team, and the subconsultants. Additionally, a good Senior Construction Inspector must have the knowledge and experience to effectively understand the interrelationships between the key management components of time, information, cost, and quality. Decision making, including obtaining sufficient information to make reasoned decisions, is the key element leading to a successful project. the project. The Z&K approach is founded on a thorough understanding of each of the management components critical to the project.

TIME MANAGEMENT | Time management uses scheduling to accurately manage and track the restrictive elements of time and resources throughout the project. The key to a successfully implemented and managed schedule is the development of an accurate, detailed, and realistic baseline schedule. Z&K will review the Contractor’s baseline schedule to ensure it is accurate and reasonable. Activity durations and logic ties will be examined for accuracy and constructability. The schedule logic and activity durations will also be analyzed to ensure the Contractor does not use float suppression techniques.

Schedule float is a valuable resource for the Owner and the Contractor. Schedule implementation and administration is the next step in proper time management. The Contractor’s actual progress will be documented daily. The Z&K Team will review the progress with the Contractor at the weekly meetings. The Contractor’s three-week-look-ahead schedule will be compared with the work plan on the record schedule to ensure the Contractor continues to use the record schedule as a management tool. We will check the record schedule for activities with start dates that did not begin during the review period.

This proactive approach flags potential delay issues for further discussion.

COST MANAGEMENT| Z&K will take the lead to ensure a cost management system is properly implemented and maintained. Z&K’s cost management role will be in two parts. The first is to track the value of the completed work to ensure accurate and detailed monthly progress billing by the contractor. Secondly, Z&K will proactively manage the change order process. The monthly progress billing may be tied to the construction schedule. Each month, the Construction Inspector will review and approve the updated cost loaded CPM. Work activities and material deliveries will be assigned the correct completion percentage by the Contractor. This will be reviewed by the Construction Inspector and discrepancies will be addressed. If necessary, the Contractor will revise and resubmit the schedule of values. This process ensures the Owner is accurately billed for the completed work monthly. Changes in work and unforeseen conditions will be closely monitored.

Any costs for changes will be managed by the Z&K construction Inspection team. An ongoing log of potential change issues will be maintained. These issues will be discussed and updated at each weekly meeting.

FUNDING MANAGEMENT | Z&K will ensure that the City has all necessary information to comply with the funding requirements. Our team is experienced in complying with funding reporting and filing requirements. We pay close attention to these requirements and deadlines so that project funding remains unaffected and so that file audits are conducted quickly and efficiently. Our team is also experienced in ensuring that project documents show compliance with DBE reporting requirements, DBE goals, and/or good faith effort documented. Proper Project documentation is key in any audits.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT | Quality management is an inherent CM responsibility. Z&K is knowledgeable and capable in all aspects of quality management. Quality assurance is the application of systematic methods to verify the effective implementation of quality control procedures. Z&K will manage the quality of the project by taking the quality assurance lead role and implementing the Z&K quality assurance program, which allocates quality control responsibilities to the various project participants to ensure the constructed product conforms to the contract plans and specifications. This includes a detailed inspection plan, inspection procedures, and documentation procedures for all inspection and test reports. Z&K will review the Contractor’s quality control procedures to ensure adequacy. Quality control issues will be discussed at each weekly meeting. An ongoing deficiencies/corrective items list will be maintained, reviewed, and updated weekly. Quality assurance includes quality of the constructed work as well as the quality of the Contractor’s document processes (such as the Contractor’s submittals and RFIs). In Z&K’s experience, lack of quality in the paperwork with items such as poor submittals and unanswered RFIs may lead to lack of quality in the constructed product. Deficiencies in submittal quality control by the Contractor often leads to incorrect or inferior equipment and materials being installed.

Z&K will be proactive with the Contractor to ensure the quality of their submittals. Likewise, lax procedures for the processing of RFIs may lead to misunderstandings and delays. Z&K will take a proactive approach with the Contractor and the Design Engineer to ensure the quality of the RFI process is maintained. Finally, Z&K regularly performs internal audits of its field operations to ensure the proper implementation of procedures for Z&K’s quality assurance program.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT | Proper information flow is crucial to the success of a project. A construction project generates a large amount of information, which must be distributed to all parties on a timely basis. The source of this information will cover the full spectrum including contracts, meeting minutes, drawings and specifications, submittals, RFIs, pay requests, invoices, inspection reports, and so forth. Z&K will act as the hub for the management of all information flow.

Z&K has extensive experience providing document management solutions for its clients. Z&K’s approach to information

management also includes building a communication framework to foster partnering and teamwork relationships for all the project stakeholders.

Z&K builds this from the start of the project with an all-inclusive kick-off meeting where the lines of communication and project responsibilities will be clearly explained to all the project stakeholders. The emphasis on project communication continues throughout the project with the weekly construction meetings. At each weekly meeting, all ongoing issues will be reviewed and discussed. All project stakeholders will be invited to the meetings. An agenda of meeting topics will be distributed in advance and include items such as safety, old business, updated progress of the work, RFIs, submittals, testing and inspection reports, non-conformance notices, environmental monitoring, change orders, three-week-look-ahead schedule, pay requests, and so forth. Unresolved issues will be carried over to the next week’s meeting until a final resolution CODES & PROCEDURES MANAGEMENT | Z&K has a strong knowledge of the City, County, State, and Federal codes and procedures that are required to deliver a successful project. Z&K will ensure that all codes and procedures are properly followed for the City’s Project. Some of the requirements are as follows:

TASK ORDER APPROACH | Z&K’s project management approach is derived from many years of experience and proven success and includes very specific strategies.

Coordination | All task orders will require coordination. That can come in the form of coordination with other City departments, local agencies, and stakeholders. On-call contracts require similar coordination efforts in which Z&K has established and maintained outside-agency contacts, coordinated designs with their staff, and obtained necessary approvals to move the project forward.

Communication | Z&K has a formal, proactive communication plan to share critical project information as soon as possible and to make sure there are no surprises. We continuously report progress, identify problems, assign priorities, receive feedback, and document progress. From project start-up through project closeout, we will prioritize our communication to make sure all required actions are documented and addressed in a timely manner. This level of coordination, coupled with the project progress meetings, helps avoid project issues and delays, and monitors the project schedule and budget.

Documentation | Proper documentation is critical for all projects. We have a thorough understanding of the document control procedures required for public works projects for a variety of funding sources. Z&K’s document control management policies are prepared to comply with the City’s requirements. Our typical monthly project progress reports include the status of deliverables, utility and outside-agency efforts, cost and schedule snapshot and analysis, issues discussion and recommended resolution actions. Monthly progress reports will be tailored to the needs of the City for each project.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control | QA/QC will be an ongoing task throughout the duration of the project. Z&K’s project and construction management QA/QC process starts with standardization of successful procedures. All projects utilize Z&K’s standardized project electronic filing system. Z&K’s electronic filing system is a cloud-based system accessible in real-time to all Z&K project team members as well as its client as requested. Daily, weekly, and periodic correspondence, logs and reports are regularly reviewed for accuracy, up-to-date maintenance, aging, and escalation of issues, appropriateness, potential changes and/or claims and contract compliance.

Schedule | Our inspector will prepare and maintain the schedule. The schedule, task lists, deliverables, agency review time, and progress reports will be used to list each task in the project to enable our project manager to hold members accountable for delivery. We will provide a summary report regularly that shows tasks completed, items that may have changed, and schedule updates if needed.

TECHNICAL COMPETENCE/INTERNET BASED TOOLS | Our Team has extensive in-house resources including, computer/iPad capabilities, software applications, modem protocol, modeling programs, training, VPOO Software systems, Scheduling Programs such as Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Dropbox, CM Procedures Manual, Oracle, Design software, Electronic Document Control Systems (EDCS), Procore, and many other resources to support our Team.

FIRM CAPABILITIES | Z&K has sufficient capacity to perform the work within the time limitations, considering our current and planned workload. We currently have over 50 construction managers and inspectors on staff.
