Lomita City Council
April 4, 2023

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Carla Dillon, P.E., Public Works Director
MEETING DATE: April 4, 2023
SUBJECT: First Amendment to Agreement with AKM for Construction Management Services Related to the Cypress Facility Upgrades

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the First Amendment to Agreement 2020-22 with AKM Consulting Engineers for construction management services related to Cypress Facility upgrades for a total not to exceed $513,826 inclusive of previously approved funding; and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the Amendment.

BACKGROUND
In July 2020, the City Council approved an agreement with AKM Consulting Engineers to serve as on-site construction managers for the addition of Granular Activated Carbon filtration systems and other upgrades at the Cypress Water Production Facility, and in January 2021, the construction contract was awarded to RC Foster.

While the project is nearly complete, several elements of the project scope have required additional oversight and review beyond what was originally anticipated. The project’s scope and duration have extended due to a variety of circumstances including supply chain delays and additional permitting requirements from the State Division of Drinking Water. This amendment will allow for continued construction management through the project completion in the coming months and ensure the City is able to demonstrate operation to the Division of Drinking Water as expeditiously as possible.

FISCAL IMPACT
The additional cost of the amendment is $38,600 and would bring the total contract amount to $513,826. Funds for this purpose are budgeted in FY22-23 in the Water Capital budget, account No. 520-840-5821.365, Cypress Water Production Upgrades. The City Item No. 7e

CITY OF LOMITA

CONSUL TANT is aware of the requirements of California Labor Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 16000, et seq., ("Prevailing Wage Laws"), which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements on "public works" and "maintenance" projects. If the services are being performed as part of an applicable "public works" or "maintenance" project, as defined by the Prevailing Wage Laws, and if the total compensation is $1,000 or more, CONSUL TANT agrees to fully comply with such Prevailing Wage Laws. Upon request, CITY shall provide CONSULTANT with a copy of the prevailing rates of per diem wages in effect at the commencement of this Agreement. CONSUL TANT shall make copies of the prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification or type of worker needed to execute the services available to interested parties upon request, and shall post copies at the CONSULTANT'S principal place of business and at the project site. It is the intent of the parties to effectuate the requirements of sections 1771, 1774, 1775, 1776, 1777.5, 1813, and 1815 of the Labor Code within this Agreement, and CONSUL TANT shall therefore comply with such Labor Code sections to the fullest extent required by law. CONSUL TANT shall defend, indemnify and hold the CITY, its officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws.

B. Registration/DIR Compliance. If the services are being performed on a public works project of over $25,000 when the project is for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work, or a public works project of over $15,000 when the project is for maintenance work, in addition to the foregoing, then pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, CONSUL TANT and all subconsultants must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR"). CONSUL TANT shall maintain registration for the duration of the project and require the same of any subconsultants. This project may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR. It shall be CONSULTANT'S sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements, including the submission of payroll records directly to the DIR. Any stop orders issued by the DIR against CONSUL TANT or any subconsultant that affect CONSULTANT'S performance of services, including any delay, shall be CONSULTANT'S sole responsibility. Any delay

DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4D6D-AC1E-DE979998496A ansmg out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered CONSUL TANT caused delay and shall not be compensable by CITY.

CONSTRUCTION shall defend, indemnify and hold CITY, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the DIR against CONSUL TANT or any subconsultant.

C. Labor Certification. By its signature hereunder, CONSUL TANT certifies that it is aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the California Labor Code which require every employer to be insured against liability for Worker's Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and agrees to comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the Services.

D. Employment of Apprentices. CONSUL TANT and all subconsultants shall comply with the requirements of Labor Code sections 1777.5 and 1777.6 in the employment of apprentices. Information relative to apprenticeship standards, wage schedules, and other requirements may be obtained from the Director of Industrial Relations, ex officio the Administrator of Apprenticeship, San Francisco, California, or from the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and its branch offices.

E. CONSUL TANT or subconsultants may not perform work on a public works project with a subconsultant who is ineligible to perform work on a public project pursuant to Labor Code section 1777.1 or 1777.7. Any contract on a public works project entered into between CONSUL TANT and a debarred subconsultant is void as a matter of law. A debarred subconsultant may not receive any public money for performing work as a subconsultant on a public works contract. Any public money that is paid, or may have been paid to a debarred subconsultant by CONSUL TANT on the project shall be returned to CITY. CONSUL TANT shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subconsultant who has been allowed to work on the Project.

F. CONSUL TANT agrees to bind every subconsultant to the terms of the Agreement as far as such terms are applicable to subconsultant's portion of the work. CONSUL TANT shall be as fully responsible to CITY for the acts and omissions of its subconsultants and of persons either directly or indirectly employed by its subconsultants, as CONSULTANT is for acts and omissions of persons directly employed by CONSUL TANT. Nothing contained in these Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between any subconsultant and CITY.

12. TERMINATION.

A. Except as otherwise provided, CITY may terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause. Notice of termination shall be in writing.

C. In the event of such termination, CONSUL TANT shall cease services as of the date of termination, all finished or unfinished documents, data, drawings, maps, and other materials prepared by CONSULTANT shall, at CITY's option, become CITY's property, and CONSUL TANT will receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily completed up to the effective date of notice of termination.

D. Should the Agreement be terminated pursuant to this Section, CITY may procure on its own terms services similar to those terminated.

13. INDEMNIFICATION.

A CONSUL TANT shall indemnify, defend with counsel approved by CITY, and hold harmless CITY, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers from and against all liability, loss, damage, expense, cost (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation) of every nature arising out of or in connection with CONSUL TANT's performance of work hereunder or its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this AGREEMENT, regardless of CITY'S passive negligence, but excepting such loss or damage which· is caused by the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Should CITY in its sole discretion find CONSULTANT'S legal counsel unacceptable, then CONSUL TANT shall reimburse CITY its costs of defense, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees and all other costs and fees of litigation. CONSUL TANT shall promptly pay any final judgment rendered against CITY (and its officers, officials, employees and volunteers) covered by this indemnity obligation. It is expressly understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of California and will survive termination of this Agreement.

B. The requirements as to the types and limits of insurance coverage to be maintained by CONSUL TANT as required by Section 18, and any approval of said insurance by CITY, are not intended to and will not in any manner limit or qualify the liabilities and obligations otherwise assumed by CONSUL TANT pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, to the provisions concerning indemnification.

14. ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement is for CONSUL TANT's professional services.

CONSULTANT's attempts to assign the benefits or burdens of this Agreement without CITY's written approval are prohibited and will be null and void.

15. INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT. CITY and CONSULTANT agree that CONSULTANT will act as an independent CONSUL TANT and will have control of all work and the manner in which is it performed. CONSUL TANT will be free to contract for similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY.

CONSUL TANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees. Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to

DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4D6D-AC1E-DE979998496A direct CONSUL TANT as to the details of doing the work or to exercise a measure of control over the work means that CONSUL TANT will follow the direction of the CITY as to end results of the work only.

16. AUDIT OF RECORDS.

A. CONSUL TANT agrees that CITY, or designee, has the right to review, obtain, and copy all records pertaining to the performance of this Agreement. CONSUL TANT agrees to provide CITY, or designee, with any relevant information requested and will permit CITY, or designee, access to its premises, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours for the purpose of interviewing employees and inspecting and copying such books, records, accounts, and other material that may be relevant to a matter under investigation for the purpose of determining compliance with this Agreement. CONSUL TANT further agrees to maintain such records for a period of three (3) years following final payment under this Agreement.

B. CONSUL TANT will keep all books, records, accounts and documents pertaining to this Agreement separate from other activities unrelated to this Agreement.

17. CORRECTIVE MEASURES. CONSULTANT will promptly implement any corrective measures required by CITY regarding the requirements and obligations of this Agreement. CONSULTANT will be given a reasonable amount of time as determined by CITY to implement said corrective measures. Failure of CONSUL TANT to implement required corrective measures shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement.

18. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS.

A. CONSUL TANT, at CONSUL TANT's own cost and expense, shall procure and maintain, for the duration of the contract, the following insurance policies:

1. Workers Compensation Insurance as required by law. CONSUL TANT shall require all subconsultants similarly to provide such compensation insurance for their respective employees. Any notice of cancellation or non-renewal of all Workers' Compensation policies must be received by CITY at least thirty (30) days prior to such change. The insurer shall agree to waive all rights of subrogation against CITY, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from work performed by CONSULTANT for CITY.

2. General Liability Coverage. CONSUL TANT shall maintain commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. If a commercial general liability insurance form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at least twice the required occurrence limit.

3. Automobile Liability Coverage. CONSUL TANT shall maintain automobile

DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4O6D-AC1E-DE979998496A liability insurance covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of CONSUL TANT arising out of or in connection with the work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles, in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit for each occurrence.

4. Professional Liability Coverage. CONSUL TANT shall maintain professional errors and omissions liability insurance for protection against claims alleging negligent acts, errors, or omissions which may arise from CONSULTANT'S operations under this Agreement, whether such operations be by CONSUL TANT or by its employees, subconsultants, or subconsultants. The amount of this insurance shall not be less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) on a claims-made annual aggregate basis, or a combined single-limit-peroccurrence basis. When coverage is provided on a "claims made basis," CONSUL TANT will continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this Agreement, and will cover CONSUL TANT for all claims made by CITY arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSUL TANT, or its officers, employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.

B. Endorsements. Each general liability, automobile liability and professional liability insurance policy shall be issued by a financially responsible insurance company or companies admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California, or which is approved in writing by CITY, and shall be endorsed as follows.

CONSULTANT also agrees to require all CONSULTANTs, and subconsultants to do likewise.

1. "The CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers are to be covered as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CONSUL TANT, including materials, parts, or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations."

2. This policy shall be considered primary insurance as respects CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers. Any insurance maintained by CITY, including any self-insured retention CITY may have, shall be considered excess insurance only and shall not contribute with this policy.

3. This insurance shall act for each insured and additional insured as though a separate policy had been written for each, except with respect to the limits of liability of the insuring company.

4. The insurer waives all rights of subrogation against CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, or agents.

5. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect

DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4O6D-AC1E-DE97999B496A coverage provided to CITY, its elected or appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, or volunteers.

6. The insurance provided by this policy shall not be suspended, voided, canceled, or reduced in coverage or in limits except after thirty (30) days' written notice has been received by CITY.

C. CONSUL TANT agrees to provide immediate notice to CITY of any claim or loss against CONSUL TANT arising out of the work performed under this agreement.

CITY assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve CITY.

D. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by CITY. At CITY's option, CONSUL TANT shall demonstrate financial capability for payment of such deductibles or self-insured retentions.

E. CONSUL TANT shall provide certificates of insurance with original endorsements to CITY as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Certificates of such insurance shall be filed with CITY on or before commencement of performance of this Agreement. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with CITY at all times during the term of this Agreement.

F. Failure on the part of CONSUL TANT to procure or maintain required insurance shall constitute a material breach of contract under which CITY may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 above.

G. The commercial general and automobile liability policies required by this Agreement shall allow CITY, as additional insured, to satisfy the self-insured retention ("SIR") and/or deductible of the policy in lieu of the CONSUL TANT (as the named insured) should CONSUL TANT fail to pay the SIR or deductible requirements. The amount of the SIR or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the City Attorney and the Finance Director. CONSUL TANT understands and agrees that satisfaction of this requirement is an express condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. Failure by CONSUL TANT as primary insured to pay its SIR or deductible constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. Should CITY pay the SIR or deductible on CONSULTANT'S behalf upon CONSULTANT'S failure or refusal to do so in order to secure defense and indemnification as an additional insured under the policy, CITY may include such amounts as damages in any action against CONSUL TANT for breach of this Agreement in addition to any other damages incurred by CITY due to the breach.

19. USE OF OTHER CONSULTANTS. CONSUL TANT must obtain CITY's prior written approval to use any CONSUL TANTs while performing any portion of this Agreement.

Such approval must include approval of the proposed CONSUL TANT and the terms of compensation.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4O6O-AC1 E-DE97999B496A

20. FINAL PAYMENT ACCEPTANCE CONSTITUTES RELEASE The acceptance by the CONSUL TANT of the final payment made under this Agreement shall operate as and be a release of CITY from all claims and liabilities for compensation to the CONSUL TANT for anything done, furnished or relating to the CONSULTANT'S work or services. Acceptance of payment shall be any negotiation of CITY'S check or the failure to make a written extra compensation claim within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of that check. However, approval or payment by CITY shall not constitute, nor be deemed, a release of the responsibility and liability of CONSUL TANT, its employees, sub-CONSULTANTS and agents for the accuracy and competency of the information provided and/or work performed; nor shall such approval or payment be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility or liability by CITY for any defect or error in the work prepared by CONSUL TANT, its employees, sub-CONSUL TANTs and agents.

21. CORRECTIONS. In addition to the above indemnification obligations, the CONSUL TANT shall correct, at its expense, all errors in the work which may be disclosed during CITY'S review of CONSULTANT'S report or plans. Should the CONSUL TANT fail to make such correction in a reasonably timely manner, such correction shall be made by CITY, and the cost thereof shall be charged to CONSUL TANT. In addition to all other available remedies, CITY may deduct the cost of such correction from any retention amount held by CITY or may withhold payment otherwise owed CONSUL TANT under this Agreement up to the amount of the cost of correction.

22. NON-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. Payments to be made to CONSULTANT by CITY for services preformed within the current fiscal year are within the current fiscal budget and within an available, unexhausted fund. In the event that CITY does not appropriate sufficient funds for payment of CONSULTANT'S services beyond the current fiscal year, the Agreement shall cover payment for CONSULTANT'S only to the conclusion of the last fiscal year in which CITY appropriates sufficient funds and shall automatically terminate at the conclusion of such fiscal year.

experience, hands-on field experience, as well as individuals who have successfully handled and navigated through water well and treatment facility projects, while all the while attending to concerns of the public and outside stakeholders.

Our proposed Construction Inspector is able to inspect electrical and control systems, as well as coating and lining systems for water applications. It is a requirement for all AKM Construction Management Team Members to possess the ability to inspect these aspects of construction. As such, there is a greater level of inspection continuity and quality assurance amongst the various aspects of construction since it inspected by the same individual. Often times when projects are staffed with multiple inspectors assigned to individual trades, inspection responsibilities become blurred and important details are over-looked. This also enables AKM to have greater control over the quality of inspections and translates to cost savings for the City.

Our proposed team will remain available for the duration of the project. Key personnel will not be reassigned without the City's written approval.

Additionally, because AKM is a full service engineering consulting firm, the proposed Project Team has intimate understanding of construction and maintenance projects from the projects' initial planning and design, through the bid process and construction, and to project close out and warrantee periods.

EDWARD C. LITTLE WATER RECYCLING FACILITY R.O. CLEAN IN PLACE WASTE DISCHARGE PROJECT West Basin Municipal Water District -17140 S. Avalon Blvd., Suite 210, Carson, CA 90746 Contact: Mr. Rajen Budhia, Currently at Metropolitan Water District [email protected] Bid-Build : Construction Cost: $6,400,000 A/E Fee: $1,163,580 Schedule: 12/2016-12/2018 Role: Prime Construction Management I Inspection Contractor: Kiewit Infrastructure West Co.

AKM Staff: E. Kayiran (PM/Construction Manager); S. Patterson (Resident Engineer/Lead Inspector) AKM provided construction management and inspection services for the project. Which was within an existing water treatment plant.

AKM's team was stationed on-site in a construction trailer to support the project which involved sequestering and then neutralizing the clean-in-place solution waste for the existing reverse osmosis (RO) system in order to discharge to the local sewer system as opposed to the treatment facility's brine line, which it previously was discharging to. Specific project work elements included demolition of an existing solids contact clarifier and construction of two cast-in-place reinforced concrete neutralization tanks for the RO cleanin-place waste, including a corrosion resistant coating, discharge and recirculation pumps, associated valves and piping; construction of a new RO clean-in-place waste sump for the collection of RO clean-in-place discharge from the RO trains including new pumps, piping and instrumentation; rehabilitation of the existing RO waste sumps 1, 2, and 3 including a new coating system, pumps, instrumentation and controls; new sodium hydroxide transfer feed pump including new piping and instrumentation; and a new sodium hydroxide day tank and modifications to the existing sulfuric acid tank farm including 2 new metering pumps.

Problems/Issues: The project required over 23 system shutdowns within the plant which had to be carefully planned and coordinated with both West Basin as well as their contracted Plant operator Suez. Not completing work within predetermined shutdown durations was not an option as the District faced large financial fees from their large use customers if recycled water service is delayed any longer than the shutdown duration. AKM was instrumental in coordinating all of the necessary parties to discuss and perform field walk-th roughs of the shutdowns.

AKM Prop 20. 1059 6
Several unforeseen conditions, like subsurface
facility conflicts were encountered onsite. As a
result, the AKM field team worked cooperatively
with the Contractor, West Basin, and the design
engineer of record to find alternate routes for the
installation of several large electrical duct banks,
as well as other underground utilities.

The final result was a properly constructed project
that was tested and is currently operating as
designed.

LONG BEACH MUNICIPAL STORMWATER TREATMENT FACILITY (LB-MUST) CITY OF LONG BEACH-411 W. OCEAN BLVD., 5TH FLOOR, LONG BEACH, CA 90805 CONTACT: MR. ALVIN PAPA, P.E., CITY ENGINEER (562) 750-6386 [email protected] CONSTRUCTION COST: $45,000,000 A/E FEE: $510,290 (TO DATE) SCHEDULE: 1/2017-12/2021 Role: Prime Construction Management/ Inspection Contractor: Phase I - All American, Phase II - SullyMiller/Keller, Phase Ill - TBD AKM STAFF: Z KAY/RAN (QA/QC); E. KAY/RAN (PM/CM); S. PATTERSON (INSPECTION) AKM is currently providing construction management, inspection, and design quality control services for the City of Long Beach Municipal Urban Stormwater Treatment (LB-MUST) Facility. The project will intercept non-stormwater runoff and a percentage of the first-flush storm flows generated within the City of Long Beach urban watersheds prior to discharging to existing storm drain outfalls flowing into the Los Angeles (LA) River and the Los Angeles River Estuary.

A majority of the City's urban drainage systems are older facilities, which were originally designed with the focus on flood protection and are not currently equipped to address urban stormwater pollution. The proposed LB-MUST facility will assist in the compliance with stormwater pollution and discharge regulations requirements and potentially provide the opportunity as a source for alternative water supply in the future. The intercepted flows from different locations within the City's urban watersheds will be collected and diverted to a centralized downstream advanced treatment facility and storage pond. The key elements of this system include:
• Multiple upper watershed diversions to intercept and collect flows located "in-line" along each of the existing storm drains tributary to the LA River and small diversion pump stations at each diversion structure; • Diverting flows from existing stormwater pump stations through their sump pumps • Hydraulic conveyance systems (pipes and/or open channel) to deliver captured runoff for downstream treatment • Advanced water treatment facility composed of multiple treatment elements and ponds / wetlands • Upper watershed BMPs / storage basin facilities; and
• Potential future benefit as an alternative water supply source.

As the project is divided into three (3) phases (clearing and grubbing/ initial site preparation (underground utilities and ground stabilization), treatment facility construction, and conveyance system construction), AKM recently completed the construction management and inspection of the clearing and grubbing/initial site preparation phase. This phase included clearing and grubbing of the proposed site, initial rough grading of the site, removal of buried railroad tracks and ties, installation of K-rail and fencing around the site, establishment of long term stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for the disturbed area and weekly BMP inspections. The work also required the City to relocate a homeless encampment within the work zone.

AKM is currently providing construction management services for Phase II of the program which includes the construction of a new low voltage electrical service, reconstruction and realignment of the roadway fronting the proposed treatment plant site, underground AKM Prop 20. 1059 7
utilities such as water, storm drain and recycled water, construction of ground improvements consisting of deep soil mixing columns, as well as the installation of 3,100 linear feet of the conveyance pressure pipe system.

AKM is also providing quality control and constructability review of the proposed treatment plant and conveyance system design and will provide construction management and inspection during construction. The treatment process is being designed with the ability to treat both brackish and non-brackish influent flows through separate treatment trains. The treatment process train consists of influent strainers, ceramic membrane ultra-filtration (UF), and an advanced oxidation process (UV/AOP). The ancillary processes include process pumping, process storage tanks, chemical feeding, and air supply. An RO system can be added to the treatment train in the future, downstream of the UV/AOP, to reduce TDS of the effluent and/or provide additional barriers for potential potable reuse. The ceramic membrane system, which consists of two (2) 1 million gallon per day (MGD) units as well as the UV/AOP are currently being pre-purchased by the City. The treatment facility will be housed within a 9,000 square foot cement masonry unit building with electrical, chemical and control rooms, and will include an HVAC system. Deep soil mixing is currently proposed below the building foundation to stabilize the subsurface soil and as a mitigation measure due to liquefaction potential. The building will also contain meeting space, a theater and elevated observation deck with views of the LA River in order to accommodate public education tours.

Work Plan
Methodolo
Our goal on any project is to see that quality facilities are constructed on time and within budget, so that such facilities will be a benefit to the community for their full useful life. In addition, AKM's Construction Management Team becomes a close partner and extension of our clients. We are sensitive to the fact that the City's internal staff has a variety of daytoday responsibilities beyond any particular construction project. That being said, we have been extremely successful handling the project management workload for our clients during construction yet still keeping assigned client staff fully abreast of project progress and status. AKM understands that no two agencies or projects are the same, all containing their own unique challenges and nuances. Our Construction Management services are specifically tailored for each client and project to properly serve their best interest and overall project success. It is critical that any project is carefully examined and that the client's goals and objectives are clearly understood by all project participants prior to beginning our services.

For the Project to be successful, detailed and timely attention must be given to the key ■

issues unique to the project. Not addressing the key issues promptly could potentially derail an otherwise successful project. Our approach for successfully completing the Project involves promptly addressing the key project issues.

Coordination with Multi le eroject Participants
The Project will require close and cooperative coordination with multiple outside agencies as well as the City's Engineering and Operations Staff. It is anticipated that on-going communication will be required with the following agencies throughout construction:
• Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) • The Design Engineer
• Supplier and Manufacturer's representatives for onsite services • Other City departments such as City Maintenance Services • Utility Agencies owning facilities within the project boundaries Different entities may have different project concerns and require varying levels of communication. Outside agencies will feel the most at ease and comfortable with the project when they receive clear, timely and accurate information regarding the project. It will also be paramount to understand each party's unique concerns and perspective regarding the project prior to the start of construction, to be able to best plan how to keep them informed. For WRD, who is providing funding for the project, it will be required to coordinate installations of major equipment with their representative so they may present on site. It will also be required to provide all pertinent project notices, change order requests, and Contractor Invoices to WRD.

The project site is within a residential area within very close proximity to existing residences. All projects near the public present a burden to residents. While constructing the proposed facilities including receiving delivery of materials and equipment, traffic on Cypress Street may be impacted, as well as temporary impedance of ingress and egress to properties. Although the Contractor is required to mitigate construction nuisances, it is the Construction Management Team's responsibility to enforce such mitigation measures. The potential always exists for dust and fine debris to create unfavorable conditions for the nearby public. It is understood that the facility had generated public complaints regarding the water quality being produced by the well and the project will therefore be highly visible by the public. The greater the inconvenience to the public, the more the public will become discontent with the projects. Minimizing the burden to the public during construction will be instrumental in achieving a successful project.

Constrained eroject Site and Access
The project site sits on a small footprint and is within an existing facility. While the well is not currently operating, the site access gate is used to access the existing and operable reservoir. Staging equipment and materials, parking for Contractor and Subcontractor workers, as well access for material and equipment deliveries will need to be carefully discussed and planned as on site real estate and the ability to maneuver is minimal. Constant coordination with the Contractor will need to occur to ensure that work, deliveries and staging of equipment is not interfering with each other.

AKM Prop 20. 1059 13
DocuSign Envelope ID: 09CC5FF3-8133-4D6D-AC1E-DE979998496A Coordination of Several Trades Working Simultaneously

RFPFORCWPF
CM, CA & INSP.

The project requires work of a variety of different disciplines to not only be constructed properly, but to be coordinated with each other, many of which will not interface with one another until later in the project. For example, the concrete work must be carefully planned; however it will be critical to consider the interfacing of other work elements such as the mechanical piping, necessary embedment items, location of post-concrete placement anchors relative to reinforcement bar, as well as electrical work such as conduit penetrations.

Approaching the work with a narrow focus on only the task at hand without due consideration for other disciplines can lead to errors and deficient work, required re-work or remediation; all problems that can increase costs and impact schedule. Allowing the various disciplines to forge ahead without coordination and planning would be a recipe for problems. Also, as mentioned above, the project is on a constrained site, therefore space and site logistics must factor into coordination of the various trades.

Equipment Installation and Verification
One of the more overlooked aspects of mechanical treatment facility construction is the process of proper equipment installation, verification and testing. The proposed facility is intended to serve the City and its residents for several years to come, and in order for the facility to function for its full useful life, the equipment must be installed to function properly. To properly facilitate this multistep process, it takes an experienced team who is familiar with the equipment, installation procedures, working with manufacturer's representatives, overseeing individual equipment testing, as well as operator training. Ensuring that the equipment is not only installed pursuant to the manufacture's guidelines, but also that the manufacturer has an authorized representative visit the site to verify the installation, perform any needed calibration or tuning, and provide written certification that the equipment has been installed properly, will be a key responsibility of the Construction Manager and Inspector. It has been our experience that results of system startup and demonstration testing has a higher degree of success when the proper procedures for individual equipment testing and verification are completed. It is also important that the process is followed for warrantee work as manufacturers may deny warrantee claims if a clear verification and installation record is not provided.

In construction, time is always of the essence. Due to the potential impacts to the public and close proximity to residences, there is an even greater need for completing the work within the allotted contract duration. Additionally, the longer the project extends, the greater the burden will be to the residents, increasing complaints, and overall dissatisfaction. Projects which overrun the schedule also tend to result in a higher overall cost when finally completed and could lead to Contractor delay claims.

Potential for Utility and Other Conflicts
Anytime construction occurs within public right-of-way, or involves subsurface construction, an elevated level of risk for conflicts exists.

Utility locations shown on the Contract Drawings usually are carefully located and plotted based on the available existing records. The accuracy of the locations represented on the Contract Drawings is contingent upon the accuracy of the available utility records, and potholing conducted during design (if conducted). A potential utility conflict could result in a redesign of proposed facilities and/or relocation of interfering utilities creating schedule delays, increased costs and longer impacts to the public at large. Conflicts can also occur with nearby property owners where construction impacts to them are not realized until after construction commences. This can create public resistance to the projects and may cause delays while the impacts are mitigated.

Approach to Mitigating Ke Issues and Challenges
What are evident in the paragraphs above are the interrelationships of the key project issues. A direct effect of one of the issues results in an unintended consequence to the others. AKM will effectively, promptly, and proactively monitor and manage these issues for the entire duration of our services on the project. Our methodology for handling the above identified issues is described in the paragraphs below.
\4 Commitment to Documentation
AKM takes great pride in our project document control, believing that effectively managing project documents reduces our client's risk, can help avoid and resolve project disputes, improves project lifecycles, and promotes contractor accountability. We will keep project documentation in strict accordance with the project requirements. Such diligence is a representation to involved parties, including the project funding partner WRD, that prudent project management and administration is being implemented. Project documents will be ready for review and/or audit anytime one is mandated or requested. Our commitment to documentation will also allow the Construction Inspector to verify that all required submittals, schedule updates, and red line drawings are being submitted in a timely manner by the Contractor so that construction progresses as planned. This will also ensure that all resident concerns are thoroughly documented and followed up on so residents understand that they are important stakeholders in the construction process and that we take their concerns seriously.

AKM Prop 20. 1059 14
Capital improvement construction projects are a dynamic and ever evolving endeavor. Circumstances can change without warning and as previously mentioned, time is always of the essence. It is therefore a hallmark of AKM to be extremely responsive to the Contractor, the City, surrounding community, permitting agencies, utilities, as well as any other project stakeholders. We are committed to the project day and night; the project does not end for us at 5:00 PM. AKM will diligently and expeditiously respond to project participants, transmit necessary information, and coordinate between various project participants when necessary. Our commitment to be as responsive as possible will aid in avoiding delays, as well as maintaining good project relationships with all involved parties. This also will aid in maintaining work flow during shutdowns/tie-ins, coordination of and testing the new pipelines and equipment, as well as startup and testing of the facility. There likely will be issues that arise that cannot wait to be addressed and attended to.

Communicate Early and Often
AKM understands that it is part of a team that includes the Contractor, the City, permitting agencies, utility owners, as well as residents sharing in the common goal of project completion on time and within budget. Communications will begin from the commencement of the project, during preconstruction activities, and continue through completion. Coordination and cooperation amongst project participants is best achieved when relationships founded on open communication are established. Such communications will allow AKM to most effectively deal with problems identified with the schedule, delays, utility conflicts, addressing public concerns related to construction and working with the permitting and outside agencies previously mentioned in this section.

We will conduct a productive Preconstruction Scheduling Conference to review the CPM schedule with the Contractor and the City.

It is also proposed that AKM meet with Contractor informally prior to the preconstruction meeting so that our respective project teams can meet and begin building a working relationship. This provides an opportunity for the Contractor to share project concerns and AKM to express expectations prior to being in a room full of the design engineers, the City and outside agencies. The practice of this informal meeting has paid dividends on recent projects building trust between the construction management team and Contractor and setting a collaborative tone for the project.
· '9tl11!Y. sue f!.mj ComR tion
A lagging or drawn out project completion period can create a perception that an otherwise successful project is not successful. Project closeout within the schedule is of the utmost importance to AKM. We will diligently pursue all completion activities including collection of all final compliance paperwork from the Contractor, final payment quantities, the completion of as-built record drawings, final guarantees, warrantees, and final lien releases. Our diligence will help ensure that the project comes to an expeditious closure, that permit requirements are met and closed out within the time limits specified, that the project presents no further burden to the public and adjacent residences, and that the proposed facilities turned over to the City for beneficial use are of the highest quality, and are properly tested to function as intended by the design.

Pro·ect Mana ement & QA/QC
Our Construction Management Team will diligently manage the project budget so not to create cost overruns during the prosecution of our services. Although the Construction Manager will have ultimate responsibility for tracking, managing and reporting budget status to the City, every team member participates in project management. Our Construction Inspector is required to thoroughly review and understand the project specific scope of work prior to beginning our services and to log hours spent on the project daily. The Construction Manager reviews accrued project hours weekly. Additionally, the Construction Manager carefully analyzes project costs and staffing requirements and assigns work hours to project team members accordingly the prior week services are scheduled to be rendered. Adherence to our project budgets relative to construction percent completion based on schedule will be communicated to the City monthly, or at any other interval desired by the City. The City will be notified in writing when reaching budget milestones of 25- percent, SO-percent and 75-percent of total cost exhausted. AKM will not exceed the budget limits agreed to.

AKM's Construction Manager will review all deliverables and will screen Inspector Daily Reports on a daily basis. Our Construction Manager will also perform field visits at least twice a week to keep abreast of project issues and to ensure project goals and objectives are being carried out in the manner planned, and to AKM and the City's quality standard.

Constructabilit Reviews
Our Project Team will conduct a constructability review of the project contract documents including City's front end documents, technical specifications and contract drawings. The overall objective of the constructability review will be to minimize costly changes and delays prior to project commencement, which could significantly reduce resources used during construction to respond to RF ls, change orders and/or resolving claims. The review will also serve to improve upon the overall design package distributed to construction contractors AKM Prop 20. 1059 15
for the purpose of bidding, and to maximize project efficiencies while reducing overall costs and compressing the schedule to the greatest extent possible.

The constructability review will include a review of the plans and specifications to suggest alternatives to materials, equipment, or even designs that can save the City up-front construction costs or long-term maintenance costs. The AKM Project Team will also review the project plans and specifications to identify conflicts, risks, errors, and omissions; assess the general feasibility of the design, verify that sufficient information is provided by the plans and specifications for a Construction Contractor to provide an accurate bid for the proposed project, verify that the documents will yield pricing within budget, verify that sufficient detail is provided for a Contactor to construct the project as intended and avoid costly delays or change orders during construction; contact manufacturers and suppliers of major equipment to determine and/or confirm lead times, assess the reasonableness of the planned project duration, assess the reasonableness of the engineer's estimate, assess traffic impacts and other impacts to the surrounding community; and evaluate project site logistics and constraints. We also anticipate meetings with City's operations and maintenance staff to evaluate long term maintenance concerns with the design and evaluate alternatives geared towards eliminating potential maintenance issues. The findings and conclusions of the constructability review will be documented and presented to the City in a well-organized report.

The entire Project Team will participate and attend the meeting. The agenda will be generated by and meeting conducted by the Construction Manager.

The meeting shall be attended by representatives of the City, the Construction Management Team, the design engineer, the Contractor and their major subcontractors and suppliers, the permitting agencies, consultant and all other project stakeholders such as local authorities including police and fire departments, other affected utility/facility owner's personnel, and any other regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the project. The meeting will review the project objectives, introduce key personnel for the City, AKM, the design engineer, the Contractor and define their roles on the project, discuss the Contractor's initial CPM Construction Schedule; review labor compliance requirements, progress payment procedures, and project record keeping; establish project lines of communication, appropriate project site conduct, and other project procedures; and discuss public relation concerns and procedures.

An agenda will be prepared by AKM and distributed to the City's project staff a minimum of five (5) business days prior to the meeting.

A written record of attendance and detailed meeting minutes of items discussed shall be prepared and distributed to all attendees by AKM. Our meeting minutes will clearly and completely document all items that were discussed including all discussion points raised regarding the items, rather than providing an expanded agenda with bullet points. AKM will distribute a draft copy of the pre-construction meeting minutes to the City for their initial review and comment within two (2) business days of the meeting and prior to distributing the draft minutes to the other attendees for comment. After incorporating all comments, AKM will distribute a final copy of the preconstruction meeting minutes.

A list of Action Items will be created at this meeting and our team will follow up to ensure that the items are taken care of in a timely manner.

A separate meeting is recommended for review of the baseline schedule. The initial baseline schedule review meeting would be conducted by our Construction Manager who will take the lead on schedule reviews and schedule maintenance throughout the project.

Shop Drawings I Submittals • AKM will maintain a project submittal register to track each submittal and identify the date the submittal was received by AKM, the date it was transmitted to the City and the Design Engineer for review, the date the submittal comments are due back to the Contractor, the date the submittal was returned by the City and the Design Engineer and the noted status of the submittal (for example: no exceptions taken, revise and resubmit, make corrections noted or submit specified items). The submittal register will also track each re-submittal as noted above when re-submittal for an item is required. AKM will distribute the comments back to the Contractor as well as the final submittals. The submittal log/schedule will be updated.

Prior to construction, AKM will develop an expected submittal list to use as a tool to compare to the Contractor's initial submittal list.

The two lists will then be collaboratively merged after review and discussion with the City and the Contractor.

We anticipate our Construction Management Team to review certain submittals, (i.e. SWPPP/BMP Plan, CPM schedules, submittal schedule, the schedule of values, the project specific safety plan, Contractor's QA/QC plan, etcetera) we will review all required submittals in a thorough and expeditious manner within the required timeframes to facilitate construction progress.

AKM Prop 20. 1059 16
In the interest of making the most efficient use of the City staff and the Design Engineer's time and resources, all submittals and construction documents will be prescreened by the Construction Management Team prior to transmitting to the City and the Design Engineer so that we may verify that the information is complete, relevant and ready for their review.

During Construction, AKM's Construction Manager and/or Inspector will review all reports, certifications and testing reports, such as mil certifications for reinforcement bar, compaction testing and laboratory materials testing. All tests will be documented and logged. Test reports that are incomplete or indicate non-compliance will be sent to the Contractor for revisions. AKM will discuss the results of the test with the City and provide recommendations for action.

Task 3 - C nsultation and Meetings
Consultation and Meetings - Project Meetings will be conducted by the Construction Manager. He will also develop the agenda and seek input from the City. Our Principal-in-Charge will attend meetings as necessary and when requested by the City.

It is suggested that a brief meeting is conducted between the City and AKM prior to each progress meetings with the Contractor to ensure both parties are on the same page and deliver a consistent message.

Attendees at the progress meetings will include key representatives from the City, AKM, the design engineer, the Contractor, and any other agencies having jurisdiction over the project. The following are typical items that are addressed during meetings: Work completed during the previous 2 weeks, overall schedule review, submittal status, schedule of work for the next two weeks, future items requiring coordination, RFI status, as-built drawing maintenance, progress payments, contract change orders, site maintenance and safety, and Contractor performance relative to project schedule, cost, and frequency of non-compliance notices and/or corrective work.

AKM may schedule special meetings with the Contractor in addition to the progress meetings in order to address issues resulting in any Contractor deficiencies.

Meeting agendas will be provided in advance of the meeting. All meeting minutes will contain action items that resulted from the meeting's discussions. The action items list will be updated and discussed at each meeting to verify that issues are being resolved and do not slip through the cracks. Following the meeting, AKM will draft and distribute meeting minutes within two (2) business days.

RFl's - All requests for information or clarification of interpretations, meaning and intent of the project Contract Documents will be forwarded to the AKM Construction Management Team by the Contractor. Responses to issues pertaining solely to construction activities will generally be addressed by AKM's assigned Construction Manager or Inspector in consultation with the City.

Issues pertaining to project design, interpretation, and/or meaning and intent of the Contract Documents will be forwarded to the Design Engineer for review and response with a copy to the City. A complete log of requests for information or clarifications will be tracked in a log. Our Team will monitor response times and preemptively inform the City of contractual response durations in advance of the deadlines. We will endeavor to return RFI responses within 2 working days; however in no case shall it exceed 5 calendar days.

Task 4- Record Drawings
The Construction Inspector will meet with the Contractor's Project Manager to verify that the as-built drawings are consistent and updated. It is suggested that this review occur directly following each progress meeting. · The Construction Inspector will be responsible for keeping their own as-built drawing set and verify consistency on a regular basis with the Contractor's set. Our set will be completed as a PDF markup. ask 5 - Change Orders
The Construction Manager will be responsible for managing the change order process. The Construction Inspector will provide input necessary for resolution of change orders or claims. When time and material work is ordered, or disputed work arises, time and material or disputed work logs will be maintained by the Construction Inspector.

The entire Construction Management Team will preemptively monitor for potential conflicts that may result in a contract change order.

Daily notations of any conflicts observed or potential contract change orders will be made in the daily reports noting the time of a dispute, time of notification by the Contractor and of any action taken by the Construction Inspector. Detailed accounts of any disputes with the Contractor relating to the project scope of work will also be documented in the daily report. AKM will immediately notify the City in writing when a conflict, dispute, design problem and/or potential contract change order arises. We will also open a "Risk Item" in the project file to track the evolution of the issue.

Our approach to Change Order and Claims Management is to partner with our client and advise them on the merits of the demand, regardless of how small. This effort requires thorough analysis of each issue and goes far beyond simply processing paperwork.

Contract change order proposals and/or claims will be received by the Construction Management Team and reviewed for merit and AKM Prop 20. 1059 17

reasonableness of cost. The change order or claim will also be forwarded to the City for review and comment. If the change order or claim request is determined to be meritorious through a cooperative effort with the City, AKM will prepare a written justification for the contract change order or claim including a schedule impact analysis, cost estimate, a detailed description of the extra work or claim, background information surrounding the issue, resolution alternatives and recommendations for action. AKM will also negotiate with the Contractor in order to reach a mutually agreeable cost and terms of the change order, or resolution of a claim . AKM will not authorize work or agree to the resolution of a claim without conference with and prior written approval by the City. Final agreements for resolution of claims will be in writing between the City and the Contractor. Conformance with the executed contract change order will be verified during the prosecution of the change order work.

All time extension requests will be reviewed by the Construction Manager. He will carefully analyze the Contractor's submitted time impact analysis and then provide a recommendation for action to the City.

Task 6 - Construction Observatio
We are providing a highly qualified and experienced Construction Inspector to verify compliance of the daily construction work. Daily observation and quality assurance of the proposed work will constitute enforcing strict adherence to the City Standards and regulations; the project plans and specifications and requirements and standards of permitting agencies at all times during the Contractor's prosecution of the work. Inspection services will verify that the construction is in accordance with all Contract Documents. This will be achieved through thorough visual inspections and observations, physical testing, and documentation of all construction activities occurring on site, and material and equipment manufactured or stored off site. Prior to beginning construction, and particular work tasks, the Construction Inspector will be responsible for verifying that the Contractor has all applicable submittals and shop drawings onsite to control the work. He will continually verify that the submillals and shop drawings are adhered to during the work.

Daily reports will be prepared by the Construction Inspector for each day on the project. The daily report will contain a written summary of work completed and all construction activities occurring at the site. The summary will contain specific times and durations that work or events occurred. The daily report will also document weather conditions; drawing and specification references for work completed; traffic control measures taken by the Contractor; quantity of materials used; quantity of materials not used yet stored on site; work completed as a percentage of the appurtenant bid item, equipment on site and whether the equipment was used or idle; time that equipment was used on the project; and the names, labor classifications, and hours worked for all Contractor employees.

Detailed descriptions will be provided to document any conversations with the Contractor's Field Superintendent or other Contractor personnel, directives given to the Contractor, non-compliance notices issued, any construction issues identified by the Contractor, and any visitors to the project site and their purpose for being there.

The Construction Inspector will make notations in the daily report regarding the safety measures employed by the Contractor; any safety concerns, violations, or deficiencies noticed; and action taken by the Contractor to correct them.

The daily report will also contain notations regarding potential conflicts that may result in a request by the Contractor for a contract change order. If no issue or conflict is discovered for a particular day, the Construction Inspector will note that in the report.

Time noted and dated photographs of construction activities will be included in the daily report. The photographs will contain descriptive captions explaining the work, location of the work at the project site, and position/direction the photograph was taken from.

Sketches, drawings, or details will be prepared as necessary to explain and document daily construction activities, and will be included in the daily report. Daily reports will be completed the same day the observations are conducted to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the report.

The Construction Inspector will maintain and keep a running project punch list subdivided into the different project work areas/tasks.

He will document all unresolved items and review the list once per week with the City. Items that remain unresolved or deficient work with significant dollar values will be elevated to the Risk Item Register.

Our Construction Inspector will preside over pressure testing, chlorination and bacteriological testing, electrical testing and overall start up testing and commissioning. Strict adherence to the project specific requirements, applicable regulations as well as standards of practice will be maintained. All testing will be carefully documented, including all retests.

Start-Up and Commissioning - The startup and commissioning/testing plans will be reviewed by the Construction Manager and our Construction Inspector. During field testing of each individual item of equipment and system demonstration, the Construction Inspector will carefully observe and document the results. The Construction Manager will also be responsible for coordinating with the necessary City and Design Engineering personnel for the testing and startup activities.

AKM Prop 20. 1059 18
The Construction Management Team will coordinate with the necessary parties for startup and final testing of the completed improvements. All equipment will be required to be individually tested and verified prior to scheduling the systems operational testing, or startup testing. This will entail verifying that manufacturer's representatives have verified proper installation of their equipment and/or instrumentation and the Contractor has executed and submitted the Manufacturer's Certificates of Functionality Compliance.

Additionally, testing and start up will include hydrostatic testing of piping; testing of all protective coatings; electrical testing including insulation resistance, resistance to ground testing, and circuit breaker testing; instrumentation and verifying that the proper signals are being read by the PLCs and central control; and coordination of integration with the existing SCADA system. The automation planned will require thorough checking of all the instrument and control loops and the PLC control strategy must be verified, line by line. iTask 7 • chedules
General • The baseline CPM schedule will be the barometer from which Contractor's performance will be evaluated. During the preconstruction phase of the project, the Contractor will be required to submit a baseline CPM schedule which will be refined following a scheduling meeting conducted between the AKM Construction Management Team, the City and the Contractor. During this period AKM will review the schedule for the overall feasibility and duration of specific activities as well as evaluate interrelated activity constraints and analyze all logic relationships (i.e. predecessor and successor activities).

During construction , the Construction Inspector will track manpower daily as well as log total working days charged to the CPM schedule activity codes. Doing so keeps a running score of the Contractor's adherence to the schedule in relation to time, manpower and cost.

The daily activity codes charged to the project each day will be recorded in the Construction Inspector's daily report. Such daily tracking will allow AKM to preemptively identify potential delays or project problems. When critical activities approach their completion dates, or when non-critical activities begin to use up the allotted float, AKM will immediately bring such issues to the attention of both the City and the Contractor.

The Construction Manager will be responsible for reviewing and commenting on the monthly schedule updates as well as the weekly look-ahead schedules. He will also review time impact analysis (TIA) when submitted.

We will require the weekly look-ahead schedule to be submitted in advance of the weekly progress meeting in order to discuss the schedule as well as communicate to the Contractor any concerns or comments.

All materials testing will be scheduled by the Construction Inspector with our proposed sub-consultant Ninyo and Moore Geotechnical.

The Construction Inspector will be responsible for presiding over the testing and inspections and ensuring that reports produced by Ninyo and Moore are thorough and complete.

It is anticipated that materials testing services will be required for soil compaction testing; concrete placements, compressive strength testing for concrete, asphalt concrete paving compaction testing; sampling and laboratory testing for fill materials, asphalt concrete paving materials, and aggregate base; as well as reinforcing steel. Laboratory tests for fill materials will include gradation, resistivity, chloride concentration, and sand equivalence.

A detailed list of each test, separated by category, will be logged by AKM. We will also track expended costs of the testing services; the cost of failing tests, and indicate materials testing costs to date.

The AKM Construction Management Team will review the Contractor's submitted schedule of values at the beginning of the project and prior to mobilization. We will verify that a sufficient breakdown of the bid items is provided in order to allow for equitable reimbursements through monthly progress payments. We will also verify that the breakdown is logical and accurate to avoid front or end loading of particular items. A properly executed schedule of values aids in avoiding disputes when reviewing progress payment quantities with the Contractor.

During the progress of work AKM will track and measure actual quantities of work daily including materials and equipment used and incorporated, as well as labor. At the conclusion of each month, the Construction Inspector will compare the data tabulated throughout the month to the project schedule of values to determine the approximate cost of the work completed. The approximate costs will serve as a basis for determining the appropriate monthly progress pay quantities. Once the Construction Inspector and the Contractor agree on the quantities and all required paperwork requisite to payment release such as the CPM schedule update and narrative, certified payroll reports, preliminary lien releases from subcontractors and suppliers, and as-built drawing updates are received; AKM will transmit the costs per bid item to the City recommending monthly payment quantities. Requests for quantities exceeding that which have actually been completed will not be accepted.

AKM Prop 20. 1059 19
irask 10- Coordination of Testin an Commissioning, __ _ Prior to beginning startup testing, AKM will conduct an inspection to verify that all required work has been completed; that equipment and instruments have been calibrated and pre-tested by the Contractor; and that the City, AKM and the design engineer provide a favorable review of the Contractor's Startup Testing Plan before conducting final startup testing. It is recommended that the Contractor is required to submit his Startup and Testing Plan no later than 90 days prior to testing. AKM will ensure that the plan is submitted in accordance with this important requirement to provide all parties ample opportunity to review, discuss and comment on the plan .

Our Construction Manager will coordinate the training programs and curriculum submittals with the City. He will develop and keep a master schedule of all training programs and curriculum as well as anticipated training dates which will be coordinated with the City and their operations staff.

T sk 11- lose-0
During the course of the Project, AKM will keep a running list of issues and corrections requiring resolution. The list will include a description of the issue, date the issue was first observed, and date the issue was resolved. The goal of the list will be to create a realtime punch list to resolve issues prior the end of the project minimizing the size of final punch lists. Once the AKM Construction Management Team determines the Project has reached substantial completion, the City will be notified and a final inspection/walk through will be recommended to ascertain any unfinished work or corrections to be made. It is anticipated that the final inspection/walk through will include the City staff the Design Engineer and AKM. Based on the findings and results of the final inspection/walk through, AKM will develop a final punch list of work to be completed and/or corrected. The final punch list will include all necessary outstanding paperwork such as final operations and maintenance manuals, required guarantees, certifications, affidavits, warrantees, lien releases, as-built drawings, permit close-out verification and other documents required by the project's Contract Documents. Once all items have been completed to the satisfaction of the City and the Design Engineer, AKM will recommend final acceptance.

During project closeout activities AKM will obtain from the Contractor any and all required guarantees, certifications, affidavits, operation and maintenance manuals, warrantees, and other documents required by the project's Contract Documents including the operation and maintenance manuals in PDF and AutoCad formats. AKM will then review the documents to verify that all documents are complete and accurate. Should incomplete or inaccurate documents be discovered, AKM will notify the Contractor for revision. Operation and Maintenance manuals will also be distributed to the City for their review and comment. Once determined to be complete, AKM will transmit all of the documentation described above to the City.

Prior to the end of construction, our Construction Inspector will develop a list of all required spare parts, separated by discipline and will include model number and manufacturer. The list will be used as a checklist to verify receipt and transfer of all require spare parts.

Once the Contractor has successfully completed startup and commissioning, any required operational period, and operator training, AKM will issue a notice of substantial completion to the Contractor. The letter will indicate the date of the required 11 month warrantee inspection.

Following completion of a project, the final as-built drawings will be reviewed and when determined to be complete, will be transmitted to the City for review and/or approval. AKM will provide final as-built drawings both in hard copy and PDF format to the Design Engineer for production of mylars and final electronic documents within 1-week of their receipt from the Contractor. The approval of final as-built drawings will be requisite to the release of final payment.

A recommendation for final acceptance will occur once all required documents and spare parts have been verified to be submitted and approved, and following completion of the punch list as described above. AKM will first make a recommendation to the City for notice of completion and once concurrence is received, we will prepare and distribute the notice.

A complete electronic copy of all project documents and correspondence will be made and organized. The file will be transmitted to the City at the conclusion of the project.

Our Construction Inspector will review and reconcile the final bid items with the Contractor, resolve pending issues and recommend processing of final payment once all conditions have been fulfilled.

Our Construction Manager will produce the draft and final project report which will include a comparative analysis of the project completion time versus the Contractor's original baseline completion schedule; startup and testing reports; list and analysis of all contract change orders, their dollar amounts, total contract change order dollar amounts and final contract amount; the as-built construction schedule; a list of all warrantees with the start date and expiration date of each warrantee and hardcopies of the warrantee if applicable; a list of all spare parts required and furnished under the contract; an analysis of problems that occurred on the project and recommendations for remedial and proactive steps to take on subsequent projects in order to avoid similar problems. A draft report will be submitted to the City for review and comment. After incorporating all comments, we will transmit the final copy of the report.
