On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services for Various Water and Sewer Improvements Projects 5 Construction Manager Responsibilities
The CM will be responsible for overall QA and coordination of the project and will work closely with the City, contractor, and inspectors to resolve day-to-day construction issues. The CM will also ensure project issues are identified and resolved quickly. Project issues will be organized on a critical action item report, which will detail the administrative, design, construction, environmental, and coordination issues that arise. Each action item will be assigned to project personnel with a target date to complete or resolve. The report will be updated at the weekly construction management staff and contractor progress meetings, and will be included in the monthly progress report. The CM will be responsible for tracking change orders and reviewing submittals and RFIs. He will also be responsible for directly managing the inspection and testing on the project.
The CM will meet the City’s representative to discuss the plan for the upcoming work on what may affect the public or traffic. He will also be available to meet with community groups to develop methods to inform the public, agencies, community groups, and contractors in the area regarding the work schedule. There are a number of issues that the community will be watching closely on construction projects: work hours, stormwater control, noise control, dust control, and environmental measures, to name a few.
We will make sure the project is complete and acceptable prior to scheduling a final punch list workthrough with the City. The CM will review and recommend final payment and release retention once all outstanding items are completed to the satisfaction of the City. At the completion of the project, we will review and certify the as-builts, draft the final change orders, and prepare a final construction summary report for the project.
Inspector Responsibilities
The inspectors assigned to the City will be on site daily during working hours and whenever work is performed outside of normal working hours. They will be available by cell phone whenever not at the site to answer any questions and resolve issues. The inspector will be the key point of contact for the contractor’s project manager and superintendent during the course of the work. The inspector will not direct the contractor’s work but will facilitate the contractor’s efforts by anticipating issues that might affect the progress of the work.
Dudek employs a state -of-the-art photo documentation system using commercial -standard photo management software. Upon beginning each day’s fieldwork, our personnel will download the day’s images from each digital camera to the computer network located in the field office. Using these images, the construction inspector will re view completed work with the City’s plans and specifications.
The inspector will examine the site daily, manage subconsultants, and conduct weekly progress meetings with the contractor. One of the key activities is the weekly progress meeting with the contractor. This is where old and new business issues are discussed, such as action items developed; progress to date is reviewed in detail; a contractor’s 3-week look-ahead schedule is developed; and items from the City or other consultants discussed. A description of these meetings and the inspector’s role are provided on the following pages. If work is non- conforming per the specifications, the inspector will issue a written Notice of Non-Compliance report for any work installed by the contractor that does not comply with the project plans and specifications. This will require a written response from the contractor and the issue will be tracked weekly until it is resolved to our satisfaction.
The inspector will also prepare a list of items for correction and redline as-built plans as needed.
The inspector will assist with a submittal review meeting and with expediting the submittal turnaround process. He or she will conduct a submittal review meeting with the contractor for designated critical submittals to ensure they are returned for prompt material procurement.
On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services for Various Water and Sewer Improvements Projects 6 Inspection Forms/Checklist
Documentation is critically important in construction and all communication will be provided to effected personnel in writing. Our inspectors maintain daily logs, complete incident reports, and photograph elements of a project. We assist the City with progress pay estimates, contract change orders, labor and equipment records, personnel records, and other general correspondence that will ensure the effectiveness of the projects.
Stormwater (SWPPP) Inspection and Compliance
The inspector will inspect the contractor’s stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) installation and erosion, tracking potential discharges every day for compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NDPES), permits, and the approved project SWPPP plan. The contractor will be notified immediately in writing of any corrections that need to be made. The inspector will stay up to date on all required reports and inspect the contractor’s SWPPP reports to ensure they are up to date and accurate.
Traffic Control
The inspector will review traffic control plans and follow the requirements as stipulated by the City’s traffic engineer and according to the latest California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and Work Area Traffic Control Handbook requirements.
Progress Payment
The Dudek team realizes the importance of an accurate timely review of the progress for each month. The on-site inspector will field measure pay quantities in accordance with Greenbook standards. We will meet with the contractor and discuss the status of pay quantities and schedule of values (if there are any lump sum bid items), and review the contractor’s as-builts at the end of the month. The on-site construction inspector will then make a recommendation to the City for the amount of the monthly progress payment application.
Project Management and QA/QC
The construction management team and contract manager will establish and implement a QA/QC Plan organized as follows:
1. Organization and Responsibility
2. Execution and Schedule
3. Procedural Requirements
4. Requirements for Subconsultants
5. Project Quality Management Audits
The CM is committed to supporting the construction of your projects on behalf of the City. Regular meetings with the contractor and the use of a 3-week schedule for fieldwork should prevent any delays due to inspection needs.
Dudek’s approach to QA and quality control (QC) is directed toward ensuring the quality of the final product meets the design drawings and specifications while increasing management’s awareness and confidence in the details of the entire fabrication and construction process.
Dudek will employ proven methods for the project-specific QA and QC program for the City’s projects. This program will largely consist of existing corporate procedures and standards from the company’s Total Quality Program, tailored to match the unique requirements as indicated in the City’s overall QA/QC Plan. Our approach includes a On-Call Construction Management and Inspection Services for Various Water and Sewer Improvements Projects 7 mixture of senior staff review, constructability evaluation, and operability/maintainability evaluations throughout the process. The focus on achieving a consistent high-quality product is carried through the review of contractor’s procedures, submittal review, and shop and field inspections, as well as field and laboratory testing, to ensure that quality materials and equipment are delivered and constructed to the project specifications and drawings.
Quality Assurance Inspection Services
Inspectors will provide technical inspection at each job site where the contractor is performing work to ensure compliance with the contract documents. They will coordinate material deliveries, inspect materials as they arrive on site, and verify that all materials and equipment are properly stored. Inspectors will prepare daily reports as required by the project ’s scope of work and the City’s standards. Inspection staff will note and document deviations in the work. The City’s project manager and the contr actor will be notified when deviations are observed.
Developer Inspections
Dudek currently provides inspection of developer projects for several agencies. We understand the importance of keeping detailed notes regarding times, dates, and the work inspected. Costs associated with our inspections are typically charged to developers or subtracted from deposits or through reimbursable agreements. Accurate records are critical to avoiding disputes.
