5. Work Plan
SILLMAN | CITY OF FONTANA | CITY HALL - PHASE TWO | RFP: DE-24-147-SP | MARCH 7, 2024 Trust, open communication, clear project goals, and
experienced planning is the SILLMAN Experience for
creating a great design for the City that is constructible, maximizes project value within budget and schedule,
while also respecting the community values.
We work collaboratively to garner and include City and
User Group input, in order to facilitate discussions about any possible schedule impacts from revisions or changes.
SCOPE OF WORK & DELIVERABLES
We have identified the following deliverables that will allow for a successful project outcome and fulfill all
objectives for the new City Hall:
• Initial Planning
• Schematic Design
• Design Development
• Final Working Documents
• Construction Contract Documents / Permitting
• Bidding
• Construction Administration
• Project Closeout (As-built Drawings / Warranty
Phase)
⊲ INITIAL PLANNING, SCHEMATIC DESIGN, &
ENTITLEMENTS
The Programming and Schematic Design Phase is the
research and collaborative decision-making stage, where we will work closely and collaborate with the City and
its User Groups to define and confirm the new facility’s Programming, Project Criteria, and Schematic Design.
During this stage we will begin to ensure that the
building obtains proper entitlements and approvals
so that there will be no delay during construction. The outcome allows us to:
• Confirm Project Goals
• Understand the Exact Scope of Work
• Prepare Block Plans & Space Plans
• Develop the Project Schedule
• Develop the Project Budget
⊲ BUILDING EARL Y STAKEHOLDER CONSENSUS
In order to design a City Hall which meets the City’s
current and future needs, program verification with all User Groups is vital in building consensus.
We will meet with the City and all other relevant
User Groups to identify and test the viability of several creative project solutions to maximize value, while also meeting the program, schedule, and budget, in order to
solidify a (Conceptual) Schematic Design that exceeds
expectations. We would propose a multi-day Partnering
Workshop for all User Groups to discuss relevant issues, explore ideas, opportunities, and find creative solutions.
Taking place over 2-3 days (virtually or in-person), these Partnering Workshops are focused on:
• Consensus Driven Goals & Fostering Mutual Trust
• Collaboration is the key to our success - open &
honest partnering is essential
• Every Voice Matters: Even with multiple User
Groups, it is important each perspective is heard
• Measuring Wants vs Needs against project goals,
we develop the design based on the most important
items, which fit within the budget & schedule
During this time, we will also coordinate with the
City to address the following items to ensure we are
designing a customized City Hall facility which actually functions as intended:
• Adjacencies & Functionality
• Floorplans, Layouts, Fixtures & Equipment
• Constructability
• Systems Confirmation
• Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Requirements
• Life-Cycle Performance & Minimizing Energy Costs
• Meeting Code Compliance
• Public Agencies & Utility Permit Processing
• Target Value Cost Estimating: Reduce Waste & Add Value • Schedule Confirmation: Identify Long Lead Time Items
• Potential Cost-Saving Alternatives & Options
PROJECT APPROACH
SCOPE OF WORK & DELIVERABLES
5. Work Plan
SILLMAN | CITY OF FONTANA | CITY HALL - PHASE TWO | RFP: DE-24-147-SP | MARCH 7, 2024 ⊲ ROBUST QA/QC PROGRAM
Throughout the Design and Construction Phases, a
rigorous QA/QC Program featuring a Design Quality
Control Plan will be implemented by a designated
Design Quality Assurance Manager to ensure the
quality of product and deliverables meets or exceeds
the City’s expectations and goals.
During the Construction Documents Phase , we use
our 3-D BIM capabilities to work at a collaborative
level with the User Groups in defining and developing
all systems, finishes and project parameters for
consideration and approval. These realistic 3-D models
will allow for streamlined decision making and will also help facilitate discussion with the City on any updates, revisions, or potential changes throughout the design
and construction process.
⊲ DEMOLITION PLANS
We will prepare demolition plans and all relevant
public bid documents for the project to include onsite, offsite, WQMP, landscape, in compliance with the City’s landscape ordinance.
⊲ PERMITTING
During the Construction Documents phase, we will
meet with the any and all Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) to identify, address, and incorporate issues, which will be documented in meeting minutes and distributed.
As part of Permit Processing, issues will be identified and resolved with the City’s involvement and Final
Construction Documents will be issued for construction. ⊲ BIDDING
Our Team will support the City during the Bidding
Process to ensure that the bids received are accurate
and equitable.
⊲ CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
We are committed to supporting the City and the
Contractor throughout the Construction Phase. We will
attend regular site visits and will collaborate with the City and the Contractor to limit revisions by ensuring
that the approved Permit documents are followed.
Successful Project Closeout starts at the beginning
of construction; therefore, our approach to Project
Closeout is proactive and ensures the project is
successfully closed through public contract code,
protecting client interest all relevant public agencies and utility companies. Our team will continue to provide advice to the City during the Warranty Period.
We strongly believe that a good program with clear
project goals leads to a strong design concept , which
are the critical ingredients for the success of this project. ⊲ BUILD IT BEFORE YOU BUILD IT
In order to help the City and its User Groups easily
visualize our proposed designs and ensure everyone
is getting the facility they’ve imagined, our Design
Team will utilize 3-D Building Information Modeling
(BIM) technologies, including Revit and Lumion, starting in Conceptual & Schematic Design and continually
evolving until design is complete.
Before the first shovel is put into the ground, our Design Team will provide the City with detailed 3-D computer
models that will accurately represent all aspects of the proposed facility design.
These realistic 3-D models will allow for streamlined
decision making and will also help facilitate discussion with Access on any updates, revisions, or potential
changes throughout the design and construction
process – keeping the project on schedule and budget.
⊲ DESIGN DEVELOPMENT & CONSTRUCTION
DOCUMENTS
Once the Programming and Schematic Design items
are addressed and incorporated, we will focus on
producing the Construction Documents.
Internal weekly meetings will be held to work together
to resolve issues and confirm project schedule and
budget. The City Review Meetings will be held at
major milestones, including 30%, 50%, and 100%
completion of Construction Documents to review and
discuss the progress.
5. Work Plan
SILLMAN | CITY OF FONTANA | CITY HALL - PHASE TWO | RFP: DE-24-147-SP | MARCH 7, 2024 ⊲ OPEN COMMUNICATION
Trust, open communication, clear project goals, and
experienced planning are key to creating a stellar design that is constructible and maximizes project value within the budget and established schedule.
We believe ongoing collaboration and communication
are essential for understanding issues and finding
solutions that lead to project success.
⊲ COMMITTED TO THE CITY’S VISION
We understand the City’s Vision of a modern flexible
facility that will be a cornerstone of the Civic Campus.
This iconic project will set the tone for the City’s future, establishing a higher standard of construction in Fontana and ushering in a feeling of renewal and growth.
The facility will elevate the office environment for the elected officials and City executives, providing a new
vision for what is possible. We will meet the City’s
Project Goals by ensuring all voices are heard through
close collaboration and ongoing User Group input.
⊲ SUSTAINABILITY
We share the City Council’s goal of preserving the
local environment and promoting a healthy economic
and environmental future through sustainable design
principles, passive design strategies, and reduction of carbon footprint in construction.
With 30+ successful LEED and Zero Net Energy
Projects completed by our firm we have the know-how
and the drive to contribute to the City’s goal of becoming the most environmentally conscious city in California.
UNDERSTANDING OF ISSUES & SOLUTIONS
⊲ START WITH CLEAR GOALS
Establishing clear project goals and values is vital to ensure we are designing to the project budget. Once
goals are finalized, they act as a road map to effective decision-making with the City and User Groups to
identify the most important project elements that will
also fit within the established budget and schedule.
⊲ STAY ON BUDGET & MAXIMIZE VALUE
We have an inclusive and collaborative approach
to managing and controlling the project cost, while
utilizing practical design solutions to adapt to the
realities of budget constraints. Our Team will explore
a variety of options for structural; mechanical; building massing; building systems; program; reducing
redundancies and maximizing value.
⊲ PROACTIVE WITH PUBLIC AGENCIES &
UTILITY AGENCIES
SILLMAN has successfully completed dozens of
projects in San Bernardino County which have taught
us to be proactive and meet with the Public & Utility
agencies and other Authorities Having Jurisdiction
(AHJs) as early as possible in the project timeline.
We will reach out and meet with all relevant AHJs,
like the City of Fontana, Southern California Edison,
SoCalGas, Fontana and the Fire Protection District,
which eliminates expensive design changes down the
line due to non-compliant design.
⊲ MAINTAINING SCHEDULE
It is likely that there will be revisions due to code,
constructability, function, or program goals. Our goal
is to work with the City to make design revisions in a
way that minimizes the impact on budget and schedule.
Our experienced Design Team is skilled at discovering
opportunities to save money to allow for potential
revisions in the agreed upon timeframe.
⊲ DESIGN-BID-BUILD EXPERTS
With hundreds of successful Design-Bid-Build
projects under our belt , we understand that making
sure the project is delivered within the established
budget is a top priority. We will provide accurate cost estimates that show the up-to-date costs for materials
and account for recent inflation before and during the
bid phase. We have found through experience that
maintaining early order of long lead time items helps to ensure that the budget and schedule remain on track.
