authorized. In the event that a portion of the project is complete and the City would like to make use of that portion, then the Fountainhead staff will conduct a walk -through and create a punch list to accept only that portion of the work. Fountainhead staff will coordinate with all project stakeholders during final inspections to obtain their acceptance of the improvements a s required by the City.
As-Builts: The Fountainhead Team will maintain a full -size set of the project plans for as -built purposes. These as -built plans will be modified to reflect what was actually constructed and will include any authorized field modifications by the design engineer, as well as any modifications due to any approved change orders. All modifications will be noted in red and, upon acceptance of the contract, will be submitted to the City 's Design Consultant for incorporation into the final as-built plans.
Project Close-Out: Upon completion of the work and after all items on the punch list have been addressed, the Fountainhead Team will issue a letter of acceptance and formally relieve the Contractor of any further responsibility for the project. The project close -out phase will include (1) resolving any outstanding claims and providing supporting information, (2) recommending approval of the final payment to the Contractor to the City, (3) ensuring that all liens on the project by the Contractor or Subcontractors have been released, and (4) archiving all project records. The Fountainhead Team will prepare project close -out reports per the City Standards and Caltrans Local Assistance Manual if necessary , to meet all funding requirements. For the Fountainhead Team, project close- out is an important aspect of the contract and will be implemented in a meticulous fashion. At this point our Account Manager will ensure that the project is 100% complete from both a construction and construction management perspective. In closing project files, the Fountainhead Team will make sure that all original documents are in the project files and we will encase all records in clearly marked storage boxes per the City policy.

Quality / Schedule / Budget Control Methods
For the Fountainhead Team, quality is a way of doing business. We build quality into our processes and then verify that construction work is done with the quality of workmanship and materials meeting the contract requirements. Our quality program s tarts with selecting the right people with the proper training and experience. Looking ahead at the contractor’s schedule we will ensure that all involved staff is fully up to speed on the specific contract requirements of the work antici pated and that the field team has enlisted any specialist support they may need early.
Ivan Benavidez , our Project Manager will coordinate and deliver quality control inspection services to verify that the work is performed, constructed and coordinated in accordance with the contract documents. Our team is very proactive in closely monitoring the contractor’s operations for adherence to the provisions of the project and will verify that quality work is done. We will monitor daily operations, identify deficiencies and work with the contractor to correct them. Recognizing deficiencies and potential efficiencies requires both technical experience and good judgment, which comes to the project in a highly qualified, competent team of construction engineers/inspectors with specific disciplinary expertise and familiarity with applicable standards. Our goal is to perform inspection to guard against defects and deficiencies in the work of the contractor.
Each member of the Fountainhead Team will know the construction drawings and sp ecifications, as well as the Special Provisions, Standard Plans and Specifications that are incorporated into the design by reference. In addition, they will be required to be familiar with a variety of other information, including any permits, other condi tions of the site, applicable provisions of environmental mitigations/protection plans and procedures as well as the project schedule. Our construction inspectors will notify Tyrone immediately upon witnessing any materials, erection or installation process or levels of quality that do not meet the requirements of the contract. Using a “Non -Conformance Report”, he will immediately notify the contractor of such deviations and request corrective action. Copies will be forwarded to the City upon request. Accur ate and timely documentation of all of the field team’s work will keep the contractor’s claims under control. The project controls systems w ill make all data and information readily accessible.

Budget Control
The Fountainhead team must deliver auditable, reliable records , and budget forecasts. Each of the stakeholders with a financial interest in the project will be watching the developments closely. Working with the CPMC at the City, we will develop and provide a monthly progress report on the financial status of the project. This monthly report will contain the current budget and schedule status. The construction expenditures are
generated in the items of work which are measured and
recorded and reviewed by the field team in the monthly progress pay estimates. Change orders, both actual and anticipated, must also be accurately tracked. This data will feed the overall budget review of the project each month that accounts for the cumulative progress payments, expenditure forecasts and anticipated total project cost.
To manage costs and budget, project issues not identified in the plans are where the budget and expenditure changes occur.
Issue resolution will be every team member’s responsibility, particularly the inspectors in the field as this is the least expensive place to solve a problem. This will assist in keeping the project within budget and schedule because problems are not hidden and impacts can be anticipated in advance.
Each progress payment is linked to the previous payment, and we verify that the contra ctor only receives payment for pay items or change order extra work bills to which the contractor is entitled. Likewise, we will review certified payrolls, DBE reports and EEO records to monitor labor compliance. We will also review progress reports, lien waivers, inventory of materials on- hand, quantity surveys, and monthly schedule updates. Retention and other applicable deductions are reviewed to verify they are properly recorded on each progress pay estimate.
Effective change order administration is e ssential for controlling the cost and schedule. The goal is to provide timely response to the contractor while assuring that the costs of changes are fair and reasonable to the City and the contractor. Issues may arise that have the potential for leading t o claims. We minimize and avoid potential disputes by staying involved with the project and listening to the concerns of all project stakeholders. We also recognize the importance of maintaining proper documentation pertaining to any dispute. If a dispute and/or a claim become an issue, we will review the dispute or claim, determine additional analysis to be performed, and provide recommendations to the City. We have a history of resolving issues prior to completion of the project, and we are skilled at exa mining issues along with related specifications and maintaining detailed project documentation which mitigates potential claims from the contractor.
Schedule Control
The schedule is a critical tool to keep control of costs, anticipate claims, and stay ahead of the contractor on coordinating all CM activities. It allows the resident engineer to provide proper inspection, schedule utility relocations, coordinate with the various agencies, notify the public about traffic impacts, guide the contractor on con tract requirements such as certificates for materials or scheduling materials testing or surveys, respond to RFI’s, changes and potential claims and accurately advise the City of progress of the work.

Anticipating the contractor’s schedule by producing ou r resource loaded construction schedule will fully prepare our team to analyze the contractor’s required baseline schedule of how they plan to construct the project. Our schedule/CPM specialist, Daniel Benevento, will review that schedule along with resident engineer, Tyrone Taylor, and approve it once it complies in all respects with the contract documents. They will look for where the contractor may try to anticipate opportunities for delay claims. Thereafter, the contractor is required to submit an updat ed schedule each month that shows any changes and provides an explanation of any changes from the previous month. We will review the status of the work weekly using a form of the Weekly Statement of Working Days that delineates the work days for the week a nd the current percent complete and compare how this matches up with the contractor’s schedule. Another tool we find useful is the weekly lookahead schedule that generally shows activities for the next two or three weeks. This is reviewed in detail between the resident engineer and the contractor at the weekly project meetings.
Document Controls/Project Controls Enhancements
At the foundation of any good CM team is the project records. Our team members will work closely with the City representatives to manage the project schedule, maintain proper field documentation, prepare pay estimates, review SWPPP plans and implementation as well as track RFI’s and interface with the designer, JL Patterson & Associates, Inc., to assist in resolving and field issues that may arise. Our team members will also monitor the contractor’s compliance with labor laws and document all meetings.
Web-Based Document Control/ Project Management
One of the most significant changes to the process of construction in recent years is the information technology systems that support the builders, engineers, and construction managers. Our Project Controls Engineer, Daniel Benevento, will set up the complete web- based management system for the City and the CM’s use, allowing access and collaboration from any location over the web, while maintaining the most stringent on -line security measures available in the industry.
For example, the ProCore system is a complete and supported web - based system that is infinitely expandable, easy to use, does not require the purchase and maintenance of on -site equipment, supports all Microsoft, AutoCAD and other industry progra ms, has excellent security functions, work flow capabilities and access anywhere in the world. In addition, ProCore is an off -the-shelf product that is not proprietary and does not require continuous and costly support by your consultant’s IT department. The Fountainhead Team has experience with many project and document control systems and will implement whatever system the City requires.
Electronic Field Reporting
Traditionally, inspector daily reports (IDRs), memos, NCRs and other field documents have been handwritten in the field. The Fountainhead Team believes that utilizing the latest technology can make the field inspection staff more effective by shortening the time that is spent handwriting reports. We propose to issue each inspector a laptop comp uter with pre - formatted IDRs, forms, reports and the latest revised plans and specifications. All this information will immediately be captured and protected within the electronic document system, described above. In addition, issues occurring in the field can be immediately photo documented and transmitted to Tyrone Taylor, our resident engineer and the appropriate technical specialist, if needed to resolve as quickly as possible. IDRs and other documents will be available for review comment in rea l time and help to minimize the laborious scanning process.

Loaded Manpower Schedule
Contractors often point to the project baseline schedule to support their position on time impact analyses, disputes and claims.
Without a parallel representative schedule produced by the CM team who knows how to think like a contractor, it can be difficult to support the owner in a time delay issue. Our Project Controls/Schedule Reviewer, Daniel Benevento, will establish and maintain an independent manpower loaded schedule based on the contractor’s staffing plan and baseline schedule and run routine checks against the monthly schedule updates. By doing this, any discrepancies (lack of manpower) in construction effort will be identified and documented. There are two key benefits of this process:
• Allows the Fountainhead Team to notify the contractor that th ey may fall behind schedule and that they need to address or increase their field staffing effort.
• Can protect or minimize exposure the City to undue delays, by showing that the project would have been delayed by lack of contractor manpower and/or equipment.
Fountainhead understands and emphasizes the importance of on -time performance with management of its contracts. Fountainhead will keep the various project schedules and budgets on track and on time from the projects’ inception, by establishing and ma intaining an accurate, detailed and realistic CPM Baseline, Update and Revised schedules. Fountainhead will work in partnership with the design team, permitting agencies and contractor to strictly adhere to the approved schedule(s) during the project development and construction phases of the capital improvement program.
We work with an accurate and realistic schedule that reflects the actual day-to-day deliverables in the office and on the project site will be crucial for keeping the schedule on track and meeting the project's milestone target dates. If a scope increase or change order is warranted, Fountainhead's team of experts will carefully analyze the accuracy o f our Time Impact Analyses assuring the least impact on the overall schedule. To assure the City of an effectively managed project, we have identified the following five key issues that will be the core of our project approach:
1. Schedule Control – Diligent management of the project schedule and appropriate activity sequencing will result in expeditious mitigation of unforeseen conditions.
2. Environmental Compliance – Proactively managing the environmental compliance process will significantly reduce impacts to the schedule.
3. Communication – Effective communication at key intervals will keep the City informed without creating “information overload.”
4. Cost Control (Scope Creep and Contract Change Orders) – Resolving design and construction issues before finalizing contract documents reduces contingencies and improves bidding climate.
5. Quality – Expertise in design and construction issues will result in a comprehensive set of construction bid documents that accurately reflect the work to be done and lead to low contingency needs.
Schedule Implementation Strategies
Fountainhead is intima tely familiar with most of the mainstream scheduling software used by the consulting and public works contracting industry including, but not limited to, Primavera, Suretrak, and Microsoft Project. The Fountainhead team will review the baseline delivery sc hedule, including activity sequences and duration, schedule of submittals, permit acquisitions, right of way procurement, delivery for products with long lead -times, etc… Our team will evaluate the baseline delivery or construction schedule for:
• Consistency with the contract schedule (completion within the contract time)
CITY OF RIALTO
On-Call Construction Management, Inspection
and Materials Testing Services
RFP No. 22-048
Page | 25
• Accurate start dates, completion dates, other dates detailed in the contract • The schedule will not be approved as the baseline until all discrepancies are resolved. • Sufficient detail – including submittal process and procurement requirements • Any impacts of permits or weather conditions
• Changes in scope or change orders requiring additional time • Sequence of design or construction and correct schedule logic • Identification of the critical path and project float • Reasonableness and compliance with contract
Schedule Control
During the progress of the work, albeit for program management or construction management, the Fountainhead team will compare the contractor’s baseline schedule with progress sc hedule updates to identify any shortcomings and implement corrections or mitigation measures to keep the schedule and its deliverables on track. We generally use a six -week and a three-month look-ahead at our weekly progress meetings. These tools will keep the entire team looking months ahead of the project and will facilitate proactive handling of project activities and issues. If necessary, Fountainhead will derive any mitigation plans necessary to correct any progress deficiencies.
Weekly and/or Monthly Meetings
At Fountainhead we use meetings as a tool to coordinate between consultants, contractors, and key stakeholders. Monthly, weekly, or as often as deemed necessary focus meetings are conducted to discuss and resolve issues promptly. The goal of all our meetings is to identify and discuss objectives, schedules, contract terms, related risks and risk action plans.
Fountainhead will distribute meeting minutes of all such meetings within 48 hours. Our meeting minutes include identification of the party responsible for action on any particular item.

Constructability Review
We have completed numerous constructability reviews and cost estimates in throughout the region. Our personnel have a range of building, civil, mechanical and electrical experience to provide high quality services in both constru ctability reviews and cost estimating.
We pride ourselves on providing precise constructability reviews involving an extremely thorough review and analysis of the construction documents. We thoroughly check each document for accuracy, completeness, and s ystems/contractor coordination issues. Through this process, prior to receiving bids, we can identify missed details, potential coordination issues, possible delays and construction claims, which in turn, minimizes the potential for change orders and clai ms that can cost the Owner time and money.
As part of our review process, we overlay the structural, mechanical, electrical and architectural plans to quickly look for apparent pinch points; duct work, hydronic piping, etc, and the structure. We develop a building cross section and verify that there is available space for the multiple systems or suggest alternate routing. We critically look at different areas of wall sections for parapet details, window headers and window jambs to suggest areas where more detail needs to be developed to fully explain the design intent.
Another major source of errors occurs at the point of interface between the engineering disciplines. Our inter -disciplinary and cross -disciplinary review includes an intense crosscheck of all construction document elements. It is important for the constructability review to be performed by a “fresh pair of eyes” and by a firm with extensive experience i n reviewing projects of a similar nature.
This comprehensive review process is typica lly completed when construction documents are at least 90% complete. If the documents are reviewed too early, the constructability review would have a minimal impact since many aspects of the design could change by the time the construction documents are 100% complete. If the documents are reviewed too late, during bidding or after bid, any errors found would have already cost the owner money. The design team is charged with reviewing, responding to, and implementing appropriate changes to the documents based on the constructability review comments prior to contractor bidding.
The goal of a constructability review is not only to eliminate coordination issues prior to construction, but to ensure that contractors receive documents that are as clear and c oncise as possible, resulting in a higher quality bidder response. This allows for optimal field administration.
Claims Analysis, Avoidance and Resolution
Fountainhead has extensive experience in dealing with the claim mitigation processes. We minimize and avoid potential disputes by staying involved with the project and listening to the concerns of all project stakeholders. We also recognize the importance of maintaining proper documentation pertaining to any dispute. If a dispute and/or a claim become an issue, we will review the dispute or claim, determine additional analysis to be performed, and provide recommendations to the City. We have a history of resolving issues prior to completion of the project, as we are skilled at examining issues along with related specifications and maintaining detailed project documentation which mitigates potential claim for the contractor.
Our constructability reviews of the contract documents identify any omissions, ambiguities, and potential conflict will eliminate a great deal of issues that may lead to claims. During construction,
CITY OF RIALTO
On-Call Construction Management, Inspection
and Materials Testing Services
RFP No. 22-048
Page | 27
our claims avoidance procedures include detailed documentation, pictures, video recordin g, providing timely responses to submittals and Request for Information, and most importantly identifying and resolving potential problems before they become critical. Our management philosophy includes partnering, pro -active approaches, communication, not ification, and coordination. We are extremely familiar with Dispute Resolution Techniques and conflict resolution.
Effective change order administration is imperative for controlling cost and schedule on a construction project. The goal is to provide timel y direction to the Contractor while assuring that the costs of changes are fair and reasonable to both the Contractor and the City. Issues may arise that have the potential to lead to claims. We minimize and avoid potential disputes by staying involved wit h the project and listening to the concerns of all project stakeholders. Our intent is to meet with the Contractor and resolve issues without delay.
We also recognize the importance of maintaining proper
documentation pertaining to any dispute. If a disp ute develops into a claim, we will review the dispute or claim, determine additional analysis to be performed, decide on merit and provide
recommendations to the City. We have a history of resolving issues prior to completion of the project and we are skil led at examining issues along with related specifications and maintaining detailed project documentation which mitigates potential claims from the Contractor. All relevant information as it is compiled and becomes available will be shared with the City Project Manager and will also be included in the monthly Progress Report provided to the City.
Fountainhead will assist the City to develop a Dispute Review Program for the project. Our program shall be reviewed and approved by City Project Manager: A dispute resolution process that generally follows the Caltrans Construction Manual and Standard Specifications will be prepared to meet the City processes and procedures. This process will be reviewed in detail with the City Project Manager and modifications will be made as necessary. The process will then be reviewed with the Contractor to ensure buy -in from all parties involved. As a general procedure, Fountainhead tries to resolve all disputes at the lowest possible level and in a timely manner. We have al so developed an escalation ladder to expedite resolution of disputes during the project.
Additionally, the Fountainhead Team will implement a procedure on the Project that has served us well on multiple projects.
Our inspectors are trained to track and doc ument rejected work and associated re -work, unsatisfactory work product or poor production caused by lack of organization or planning, and other circumstances that arise during the life of a project that could result in disputed work or claims situations. This work is tracked in its own “item number,” separately from the associated item work being performed. Having accurate information regarding hours for manpower and equipment, and materials quantities for activities experiencing problems has helped the Fo untainhead team numerous times in avoiding claims or reducing the costs of changed or disputed work.
Mitigation Strategies
Typically, Fountainhead team members are intimately familiar with the work plan and schedule and do not encounter situations where we have been the root cause of a project delivery delay, however if we are the cause or even if any team member is the cause of a delay we work diligently to develop a mitigation plan to get the project back on track. As a general rule we identify activities that were originally scheduled to be performed in series and modify the finish to finish relationship with a lag so that the activities can be worked on concurrently instead, saving time without costing client any additional fees.
Payment Recommendations: At the start of the Contract, a progress payment cutoff date will be established with the Contractor. Fountainhead will also review and approve Contractor’s cost breakdown and schedule of values for all lump sum items. On or around the established mont hly cutoff date, Fountainhead will meet with the Contractor to review, discuss and approve quantities applicable to the progress payment for the month. Discussion will be based on
CITY OF RIALTO
On-Call Construction Management, Inspection
and Materials Testing Services
RFP No. 22-048
Page | 28
measurements and quantities calculated in the field, subject to the City ’s audit and delegation of approval. Once all quantities are negotiated, Fountainhead will review and recommend approval of the contractors’ invoice with the City.
The document will be submitted to the City for processing and payment to the Contractor.
Change Orders Coordination, Preparation and Management: Fountainhead will receive, process, track and document Project requests for Contract Change Orders (CCO) from the Contractor. A CCO log will be established at the beginning of the Project and will be continuously maintained and updated by our assigned staff. To the delegated level of approval, and under the City’s direction, Fountainhead will determine the need, merit, scope, estimated cost, and schedule impacts to the project as a result of potential contract change orders. Fountainhead will also negotiate change orders with Contractor as directed by the City. Once merit is established, our staff will prepare change orders based on the Contract Documents and in close coordination with the City. All contract change orders will include a transmittal memorandum that will identify the issue, provide background inf ormation, determine merit and provide financial and schedule impacts. This transmittal memorandum is generally for the City review only and is not shared with the Contractor. All contract change orders will be reviewed with the City. Prior approval by the City will be obtained on all contract change orders.
Construction Safety: Fountainhead understands that there is nothing more important than the safety during construction. The contractor has sole responsibility for compliance with safety requirements on the construction contract, but the Construction Management staff has the responsibility of monitoring compliance with their safety program and advising the Contractor of observed deficiencies. Fountainhead will review the contractor’s code of safe pra ctices and field activities on continual basis. All project team members will be required to review, sign, and adhere to the project code of safe practices. Fountainhead will conduct safety reviews, night safety inspections, and attend weekly safety tailgate meetings. The Fountainhead team is knowledgeable of the OSHA Construction Safety Orders and will monitor the contractor's work to assure that the public, the contractor, and the Inspection staff is working in a safe environment.
Measures that will be used include:
• Review the project for safety considerations which includes wearing hardhats, annual shoring permit, crane certifications, and overhead loads etc…
• Identify any unsafe conditions whether Imminent, Serious, or Minor/Non-serious condition(s) and notify the contractor to correct the unsafe condition.
• Review of the contractor’s Code of Safe Practices and Injury and Illness Prevention Program. • Assure the contractor complies with all the construction safety orders as outlined in the Cal/OSHA Construction Safety Orders.
Claims: Fountainhead’s construction management team members have successfully managed projects without contractor claims. Fountainhead will ensure that excellent communications and working relationships exist during the life of the project among all project stakeholders. Our team will focus on resolving issues at the lowest possible levels. All issues will be properly documented in detail and will be coordinated with the City. Our staff will act in a timely manner, to avoid the need for the contractor to file claims. In the event that claims become unavoidable, the Fountainhead team has the ability to tap into expert
resources to eliminate or
minimize impacts to the
project’s cost or schedule.
CITY OF RIALTO
On-Call Construction Management, Inspection
and Materials Testing Services

Page | 29
Claims that are submitted will be thoroughly reviewed by our team and responses prepared in a timely manner with coordination with the City. An itemized claims log will be established if needed that will monitor and track the status of each “Notice of Potential Claim” received from the Contractor.
Environmental Requirements: Fountainhead Team personnel will familiarize themselves with the project’s Environmental Commitments Record (ECR) during the Construction Manager Pending file review in the pre -construction phase. We understand that in general a field survey by a certified biologist is required and will be conducted prior to start of field activities.
Fountainhead personnel will monitor the contractor’s operations and take the necessary actions to en sure contractor’s compliance with the approved Environmental Document and SWPPP. Fountainhead will verify that all of the project permits are in place and monitor the contractor’s operations for compliance.

Scope of Work Considerations and Alternatives
We would like to take some time and call to your attention some demographic concerns that were not communicated in the request for proposal as there may be a need for translation services to fully serve the Community. MAJOR KEY ELEMENT IN COMMUNITY
Culturally diverse communities tend to be insular and often require outreach specialists who are bi -lingual and understand their culture, neighborhood and specific needs. The Fountainhead team is comprised of outreach specialists who can address these parti cular needs and who is cross trained as an assistant project manager.
Fountainhead understands the City’s goal is to maintain good neighborhood relationships with all the communities it serves. Our Team is prepared and experienced to help the City’s maint ain this goal. Our project assessment provided us with a personal sight into the various neighborhoods surrounding the impacted area. With this information, our team has will developed a Tailored Public Relations Plan for the City to review and approve.
Traffic Engineering
Fountainhead is proposing the following technical innovation involving:
(i) Traffic control plans per the City and/or Caltrans standards as well as construction staging and maintenance of traffic solutions. Our Team will make recommendations for construction phasing and location for construction materials/equipment and check for i nterference with other current or future projects. Specifically , the review and monitoring of traffic control and detour plans. We will also assist the City in coordinating, monitoring and reporting on any independent design reviews of the Design Documents prepared by Design Consultant or other Consultants.

(ii) Performance metrics related to emergency and incident response as well as non -motorized connectivity within the Platinum Triangle area. The work zones usually present a major barrier especially to emer gency/incident response vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclist mobility and improvements to the traffic around and within work zones is a significant opportunity to improve this mobility. Our approach achieves both improved mobility and accessibility for all modes of travel. Our expertise and local experience in Anaheim will allow us to hit the ground running and keep traffic moving seamlessly as private and public projects are constructed.
Management Approach
Our program manager will be responsible to drive the effort for scheduling and coordinate the public outreach campaign. Our Project Manager will lead the effort and with the assistance of the PR Manager will gather information from city staff and other key players to assemble a comprehensive overall schedule and outreach plan. Fountainhead’s team will contact all required individuals for information, arrange all meetings, chair all meetings, and in all stages, be held accountable for the successful outcome of the scheduling impacts and public outreach campaign as they relate to the community.
Our guiding principle in community outreach will be to disseminate accurate, timely and reliable project information. Our golden rule is: “An informed public is genera lly a cooperative public.” Communication platforms are always tailored to the needs of the community and businesses. Our goal is to minimize the inconvenience of the community and traveling public as they all play an important role in the success of all projects.
Communication
Effective and timely communication is key to providing project information to benefit both the public and construction progress.
Our communication plan will correspond to the character of the project area’s community and project tea m. The plan will identify key audiences and methods to communicate project information. Collateral materials will be developed to introduce the project, communicate milestones and construction advisories, upcoming events, and response to community concerns .
Furthermore bi-lingual information can be provided to the community with the Fountainhead team.
Document Controls Expertise for PM/CM Processes
A significant component or tool at the heart of a successful project is a comprehensive project document cont rol system. Although some small and short duration projects may be best served through manual use of the spreadsheet -based document tracking systems that have been in use for many years by a large cross -section of the industry, larger projects, with durati ons exceeding several months will benefit from an easy -to-use, and industry standard document control system. Fountainhead‘s document management system offers a solution for both components with networking of project teams through the power of the internet . The level of staffing and project control tools used will be determined based on the complexity of each project and the requireme nts of the City of Anaheim. Fountainhead follows best practices models for program management and construction management activities. Our Best Practices evaluation for project controls determined that Procore software was the most successful in meeting all of our document controls objectives through all phases of a project and we have adopted it as our standard tool. This Web b ased Document Control collaboration tool allows all participants’ immediate access to project documents through a web browser and is easily customized to fit every client and every project. Fountainhead uses Procore to manage (log, track, store and retriev e) project documents in a timely and organized fashion for decision making purposes during any phase of the project. Some of the feature s of the system are:
• Web Access to a centralized database | Review action lists based on Ball-in-Court field • Prepare and Distribute Requests for Information | Record daily reports • Run live, up-to-the-minute reports | Prepare and distribute information
CITY OF RIALTO
On-Call Construction Management, Inspection

RFP No. 22-048
Page | 32
• Comment on and status meeting business items
• Share secured information among owner representatives, design professionals, utility companies, contractors, suppliers, and subcontractors
• Customize forms and reports included in the application or create your own client specific report or form Procore makes electronic input and distribution of plan reviews, project report s, submittals, and Change Orders easy. This feature can significantly speed up the paperwork processes inherent in the project. Historical record keeping allows review of all transactions between the owner, contractor, and engineer. Security features also limit access to information for each user. This keeps sensitive project information secure. Custom forms can be developed, if needed, to conform to client standards for plan reviews, project reports, schedule updates, Work Change Directives, Submittal Cove r Sheets, Meeting Minutes, etc. Staff at all levels can maintain complete access to the current vital project information. It also provides the owner with historical docu mentation of all communication for the project in one place. The project photo log can also be kept and maintained on the system form preexisting photos to final completion.
Deliverable Methodology
Fountainhead management personnel receive procedural and industry related continuous improvement training on a regular basis.
Fountainhead stakes its reputation on meeting the expectations of its clients. Deliverables are monitored by senior Fountainhead staff and corrections are implemented prior to distribution. Fountainhead training and management systems allow for real -time monitoring of client contract budgets, consultant budgets, and key project deliverables which are time/budget and quality sensitive, minimizing the potential for surprises. Fountainhead customizes project status reports to be delivered to various levels of c lient management at the requisite frequencies. Fountainhead’s clients can have access to the Fountainhead project control system, or other customized web management tool to keep them up to date on the Fountainhead contract and the performance of its staff.
Fountainhead’s d eliverable methodology described below are customized to fit the specific needs of its clients in successfully delivering many other recent similar projects on schedule. The Fountainhead PM team firmly believes that the key to a success ful project is more than just performing tasks outlined in a scope of work. Any competent team can follow a set of written guidelines.
The key to a successful project is performing each task with a realistic and clear understanding of what the real intent of t he project is and to be able to be flexible enough to adjust to changes. Management of any project requires a proactive approach with talented staff. Fountainhead owes the successful completion of client projects to our ability to find and maintain cross trained profe ssional staff, who can successfully document work activities and implement a proactive management aptitude. Our keen understanding of , and experience with, the public agency due diligence permit process and construction outreach also provide a smooth and informational project experience. Our team’s experience and our proactive approach enable Fountainhead to stay ahead of the curve and deliver the project successfully through the permit process and construction phases.
