2 Construction Management Expectations
The following is a list of the City’s expectations shall be incorporated into the Consultant’s contract.
1. Be on site to observe whenever the contractor is working. 100% field coverage is expected.
2. Know the project plans and specifications. The CM should know the documents better than the contractor. Understand the work as designed or know where to research the documents for information.
3. Respond to all contractor’s questions/claims no matter how small they may seem.
4. Talk with the contractor’s superintendent/foreman about the day’s planned activities and what his goals are for the next day. Follow up on any outstanding issues, submittals, etc.
5. Think ahead of the contractor and anticipate his work in the upcoming weeks. Remind the contractor to complete submittals, SOSRs, etc. in advance of the work. No last-minute requests for shutdowns or City assistance, unless it’s an emergency.
6. Do not do the work for the contractor. City is not going to have its consultants take on this liability.
City understands the need to keep the contractor on schedule but not by taking shortcuts.
7. Recognize the need for specialized inspection and schedule inspection/testing.
8. Observe the field activities and discuss with superintendent/foreman any discrepancies. Repeat frequently throughout the day.
9. Review document logs and check on status of RFIs, submittals, etc. in review and follow up with the appropriate parties.
10. Review new RFIs and submittals from the contractor and determine if the document should be forwarded to City and/or the design consultant or whether the CM can provide response. Also, check for completeness of information before forwarding. If incomplete, either return the document to the contractor or hold and wait for supplemental information from the contractor (the received date doesn’t start until the supplemental information is received); if the working relationship with the contractor is not good, return it immediately.
11. All RFI and submittal responses must be reviewed by City before being issued to the contractor.
RFP ATTACHMENT 5
15 12. When receiving resubmittals from the contractor, review the previous comments and determine if the contractor has addressed all comments. The CM will need to review these at some point in order to properly inspect the installation in the field. If the resubmittals are not complete, return them to the contractor.
13. Prepare a daily log electronically and email a copy to City for review every 1 to 2 days. Provide photos and videos as necessary to document the field activities.
14. Obtain written approval from City for all field orders, RFQs and change orders before issuing to contractor. Provide, CM’s professional recommendation when seeking approval.
15. When issues arise, work with the Contractor to come-up with a solution and take a position that provides the greatest benefit to the City.
16. Review all proposals for RFQs received from the contractor before the start of negotiations. City gets the final approval of the negotiated price before any CCOs are formalized.
17. Review all backups for field order work before the CCOs are formalized.
18. Review initial draft of the progress billing request prior to submittal to City’s project manager.
Review the CM’s comments with the project manager prior to returning them to the contractor.
19. Review the contractor’s record drawings on a monthly basis and use the same timing as the schedule updates. If the drawings are not complete, recommend to the project manager an appropriate withhold amount.
20. Return all phone calls from project management staff on the same business day.
21. Provide City with all known scheduled time off during the project duration. Review time off impacts to project and project coverage with City at least one weeks in advance, or as soon as practicable.

51 CM and Inspection Services for Nile Garden Well 30 Project Scope of Work 11 Task 1.7 // Environmental Permit Compliance
BC, along with Area West Environmental, Inc. (AWE), will develop an environmental permit compliance program. The program will include the following sub-tasks.
Sub-Task 1.7.1 // Preconstruction Surveys
An AWE biologist will conduct site visit(s) to survey for nesting birds, raptors, and Swainson’s hawks within the project area and a 500-foot buffer of the project area. The preconstruction survey will take place within seven days prior to the commencement of construction activities. The results of the surveys will be documented in a brief report. The report will contain the survey methods, results, a map showing any active nest observations, and photographs.
Deliverables: Survey report(s)
Assumptions:
• One (1) one (1) day survey of the well site.
• There will be no aquatic resources in the project area requiring fish monitoring (per Section 3.09 Fish Protection of the Project Specifications).
Sub-Task 1.7.2 // Nest Monitoring
If an active nest is discovered, AWE will identify the proposed distance for a non-disturbance buffer so that the construction team can stake, flag, or fence the area around it. AWE will conduct weekly site visits, until the nest is vacated, juveniles have fledged, and there is no evidence of a second attempt at nesting, to ensure the nest is not being disturbed by construction activities. If needed, AWE will coordinate with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to determine the appropriate buffer zone size, monitoring frequency, and monitoring duration depending on the species identified, level of noise or disturbance, lineof-sight between the nest and the disturbance, ambient levels of noise and other disturbances, and other topographical or artificial barriers.
Deliverables: Site visit report(s)
Assumptions:
• Up to six (6) weekly site visits and up to twenty (20) hours of coordination with CDFW. • This scope and cost estimate does not include cost for bird exclusion such as the installation of exclusion devices, nesting prevention measures, removal, and disposal of partially constructed and unoccupied nests on a regular basis to prevent their occupation, or any combination of these. An additional scope and cost estimate can be prepared for this task if needed.
Sub-Task 1.7.3 // Cultural Resource Support
Per Section 3.07 Archaeological Resources and Section 3.10 Paleontological Resources of the Project Specifications, in the unlikely event that either archaeological or paleontological resources are discovered, AWE will provide cultural resources support.
Deliverables: Site visit report(s)
Assumptions: Up to twenty-four (24) hours of support.

52 CM and Inspection Services for Nile Garden Well 30 Project Scope of Work 12 Phase 2 // Final Design Support Services
As noted in the RFP, the City anticipates an up to six (6) month period after completion of well drilling for the final well equipping contract documents to be completed. During this period, BC will maintain our contract, continue communication with and support of the City, and perform a constructability review.
Task 2.1 // CM Invoicing and Reporting
BC will prepare and submit a cover letter to the City’s Project Manager concurrent with our invoice. Our report will summarize the CM tasks completed in the reporting period and CM budget.
Deliverables: Report and CM invoicing in PDF format.
Assumptions:
• Submit two (2) reports and invoices over the course of the six-month period. • PM to spend two (2) hours per reviewing and preparing invoice. • Project Analyst (PA) to spend two (2) hours per preparing invoice. • Biller to spend one (1) hour issuing and transmitting invoice.
Task 2.2 // Coordination and Communication
BC will maintain weekly communication with the City’s PM to keep apprised of final design status and the need for further assistance from BC.
Assumptions: CM to spend an average of one (1) hour per week corresponding with City PM.
Task 2.3 // Biddability and Constructability Review
BC will review the 90% design plans, specifications, environmental documents, permits, and geotechnical reports for biddability and constructability concerns.
Our biddability review considers, in part, whether all work is addressed in bid items, bid item quantities are consistent with the engineer’s estimate, contractor/vendor qualifications are reasonable, “or equals” listed are comparable, propriety or sole sourced systems include a pre-negotiated price and scope of supply, and permit requirements and mitigation measures are clearly included.
Our constructability review consists of an interdisciplinary examination and consistency check of the contract documents to help identify conflicts that could lead to potential change orders during construction. For example, we look to see if site and schedule constraints have been identified and addressed, if geotechnical recommendations and quality controls responsibilities are fully integrated into the specifications, and if site piping design is in accordance with California Waterworks Standards for separation of potable and nonpotable pipelines. We look for physical conflicts between mechanical, electrical, and structural elements. We also look to see if start-up, commissioning, and acceptance procedures for mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation systems are clearly defined.
Assumptions: Our review of draft contract documents does not ensure lower or better-quality bids and/or any quantified reduction of construction costs. Our review does not ensure or endorse the technical solution prepared by others. BC shall not be held responsible for review omissions that result in additional construction costs incurred during the prosecution of the Work.
Deliverables: Summary of findings in MS Excel spreadsheet accompanied by associated mark-up of plan sheets and specifications section.
