C. APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
We have successfully utilized CM Agency delivery on a host of projects. Through this experience we have developed management procedures that promote collaboration and teamwork, improve quality and maximize the value of the above project. Z&K's past performance with Cities, Counties, and other agencies show our remarkable ability to control costs, guarantee great quality of work, and meet all project deadlines. We understand the importance of Schedule Control and are known in the industry for assisting the contractor to cut the project schedule and to yield significant savings for our clients through reduction of overhead construction management and construction costs. The most significant saving is less inconvenience to the traveling public and less City exposure due to shortened construction duration. This will help extend excess project funds into other important projects.

MANAGEMENT APPROACH I Z&K Consultants, Inc. provides proven professional construction management techniques to ensure the safe construction of a quality project completed on time and within budget.

Z&K accomplished this by establishing the systems, policies, and procedures necessary to ensure adequate project controls are in place.

The Construction Inspector must ensure all parties understand the basic responsibilities and interrelationships of all team member such as the Owner (both project management and operations), the Design Engineer, the Contractor, the construction management team, and the subconsultants. Additionally, a good Construction Inspector must have the knowledge and experience to effectively understand the interrelationships between the key management components of time, information, cost, and quality. Decision making, including obtaining sufficient information to make reasoned decisions, is the key element leading to a successful project. the project.

TIME MANAGEMENT I Time management uses scheduling to accurately manage and track the restrictive elements of time and resources throughout the project. The key to a successfully implemented and managed schedule is the development of an accurate, detailed, and realistic baseline schedule. Z&K will review the Contractor's baseline schedule to ensure it is accurate and reasonable. Activity durations and logic ties may be examined for accuracy and constructability. The schedule logic and activity durations may also be analyzed to ensure the Contractor does not use float suppression techniques. Schedule float is a valuable resource for the Owner and the Contractor.

Schedule implementation and administration is the next step in proper time management. The Contractor's actual progress will be documented daily. The Z&K Team will review the progress with the Contractor at the weekly meetings. The Contractor's three-week-look-ahead schedule will be compared with the work plan on the record schedule to ensure the Contractor continues to use the record schedule as a management tool. We will check the record schedule for activities with start dates that did not begin during the review period. This proactive approach flags potential delay issues for further discussion.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT I Proper information flow is crucial to the success of a project. A construction project generates a large amount of information, which must be distributed to all parties on a timely basis. The source of this information will cover the full spectrum including contracts, meeting minutes, drawings and specifications, submittals, requests for information (RFls), pay requests, invoices, inspection reports, and so forth. Z&K will act as the hub for the management of all information flow. Z&K has extensive experience providing document management solutions for its clients. Z&K's approach to information management also includes building a communication framework to continually foster partnering and teamwork relationships for all the project stakeholders. Z&K builds this framework from the start of the project with an all-inclusive kick-off meeting where the lines of communication and project responsibilities will be clearly explained to all the project stakeholders.

The emphasis on project communication continues throughout the project with the weekly construction meetings.

At each weekly meeting, all ongoing issues will be reviewed and discussed. All project stakeholders will be invited to the meetings. An agenda of meeting topics will be distributed in advance and include items such as safety, old business, updated progress of the work, RFls, submittals, testing and inspection reports, non­ conformance notices, environmental monitoring, change orders, three-week-look-ahead schedule, pay requests, and so forth. Unresolved issues will be carried over to the next week's meeting until a final resolution is obtained.

FUNDING MANAGEMENT I Our team is experienced in complying with funding reporting and filing requirements. We pay close attention to these requirements and deadlines so that project funding remains unaffected and so that file audits are conducted quickly and efficiently. Our team is also experienced in ensuring that project documents show compliance with DBE reporting requirements, DBE goals, and/or good faith effort documented. Proper Project documentation is key in any audits.

COST MANAGEMENT I Z&K will take the lead to ensure a cost management system is properly implemented and maintained. Z&K's cost management role will be in two parts. The first is to track the value of the completed work to ensure accurate and detailed monthly progress billing by the contractor. Secondly, Z&K will proactively manage the change order process. The monthly progress billing may be tied to the construction schedule. A cost loaded critical path method (CPM) schedule is a valuable management tool.

Each month, the Construction Inspector will review and approve the updated cost loaded CPM. Work activities and material deliveries will be assigned the correct completion percentage by the Contractor. This will be reviewed by the Construction Inspector and discrepancies will be addressed. If necessary, the Contractor will revise and resubmit the schedule of values. This process ensures the Owner is accurately billed for the completed work monthly. Changes in work and unforeseen conditions will be closely monitored. Any costs for changes will be managed by the Z&K construction management team. An ongoing log of potential change issues will be maintained. These issues will be discussed and updated at each weekly meeting.

QUALITY MANAGEMENT I Quality management is an inherent CM responsibility. Z&K is knowledgeable and capable in all aspects of quality management. Quality assurance is the application of systematic methods to verify the effective implementation of quality control procedures. Z&K will manage the quality of the project by taking the quality assurance lead role and implementing the Z&K quality assurance program, which allocates quality control responsibilities to the various project participants to ensure the constructed product conforms to the contract plans and specifications. This includes a detailed inspection plan, inspection procedures, and documentation procedures for all inspection and test reports. Z&K will review the Contractor's quality control procedures to ensure adequacy. Quality control issues will be discussed at each weekly meeting. An ongoing deficiencies/corrective items list will be maintained, reviewed, and updated weekly.

Quality assurance includes quality of the constructed work as well as the quality of the Contractor's document processes (such as the Contractor's submittals and RFls). In Z&K's experience, lack of quality in the paperwork with items such as poor submittals and unanswered RFls may lead to lack of quality in the constructed product.

Deficiencies in submittal quality control by the Contractor often leads to incorrect or inferior equipment and materials being installed. Z&K will be proactive with the Contractor to ensure the quality of their submittals.

Likewise, lax procedures for the processing of RFls may lead to misunderstandings and delays. Z&K will take a proactive approach with the Contractor and the Design Engineer to ensure the quality of the RFI process is maintained. Finally, Z&K regularly performs internal audits of its field operations to ensure the proper implementation of procedures for Z&K's quality assurance program.

CODES & PROCEDURES MANAGEMENT I Z&K has a strong knowledge of the City, County, State, and Federal codes and procedures that are required to deliver a successful project. Z&K will ensure that all codes and procedures are properly followed for the City's Project.

Some of the requirements are as follows:

Z&K understands that traffic control is a critical item for the community. Traffic control will include notifications with Fire, Law Enforcement, Postal delivery, and refuse pick up. The Contractor will strictly adhere to lane/street closure hours of operation as stated in the specifications for both morning lane closures as well as afternoon/evening closures.

Z&K has success on recent projects issuing an Administrative Notice to Proceed for the Contractor to begin on submittals for long lead items while the PWA is being drafted and executed. We will ensure the contractor begins process to order/procure possible long lead items or items that require coordination such as pipe, fittings, casings, valves and other a urtenances. Lon lead item rocurement is essential to ro·ect schedule .

Our team will assist the contractor in forming a utility matrix I pothole log to make sure all existing utilities within the limits of excavation or crossing the proposed mainline/laterals are potholed and documented prior to starting any work. We will check pothole data against design drawings and pipe shop drawings to ensure any deviations from the design drawings are identified and any adjustments are refiected on the shop drawings . We will ensure RF l's have been submitted and approved for any changes to the design and make sure contractor provides exact information for the existing pipe type/diameter, depth, alignment at each tie­ in location after otholin each location.

Prior to the start of any excavation or asphalt cutting or removal the contractor shall provide confirmation of notification to dig alert as well as the marking of all utilities. Contractor shall notify Z&K prior to the contractor completing the required video of the existing jobsite conditions prior to the start of construction . Z&K will provide our own video as well as drone footage of site conditions of public and private property prior to construction as well as at the com letion of the ro·ect.

Contractor shall notify the City as well as Z&K for planned and required inspections where the City will be present as well as Z&K. This will include water main pressure testing, hydro testing of new pipe installation as well as all hot tapping operations .
