PROJECT UNDERSTANDING, SCOPE, AND APPROACH TO DELIVER THE

PROJECT ON TIME AND WITH BUDGET
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 City’s 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 that the City’s longtime goal is to restore the park and its amenities to draw positive activities back to the area, restore and expand recreational opportunities for the surrounding neighborhood. Nicholson Neighborhood Park is a City-owned 9.52-acre park facility located at 2737 West 2nd Street . The park includes recreational amenities and a community center building. The community center building has been closed due to financial challenges and the park area has continued to be accessible for general community use. The park has been a target for vandalism due to the lack of programmed activities and use at the site. We are excited about this impactful rehabilitation project to revitalize the park and the surrounding community. On March 3, 2021, RHA Landscape Architects – Planners, Inc was awarded the contract to begin design services for Nicholson Park.

We understand that the project is funded $8,850,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Liability Insurance funds. Our team members have prior experience with these funding sources and are recognized as experts in contract administration and documentation for reimbursements.

We understand that the City awarded the Construction of Nicholson Neighborhood Park Improvements to Urban Habitat for the amount of $8,147,197.56. A total of six sealed bids were received on August 31, 2023. The highest bid was $12,055,500.00 and Urban Habitat was awarded the contract as the lowest responsible and responsive bidder with a total base bid amount of $8,147,197.56. We have worked with Urban Habitat on numerous previous projects and have a great working relationship with their Team.

MANAGEMENT APPROACH | 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 nece ssary to ensure adequate project controls are in place. The Construction Manager must ensure all parties understand the basic responsibilities and interrelationships of all team member such as the Owner (both project management and op erations), the Design Engineer, the Contractor, the construction management team, and the subconsultants. Additionally, a good Construction Manager must have the knowledge and experience to effectively understand the interrelationships between the key mana gement 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. The Z&K approach is founded on a thorough understanding of each of the management components critical to the project.

TIME MANAGEMENT | 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 ens ure 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 t he 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 | 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 includin g contracts, meeting minutes, drawings and specifications, submittals, requests for information (RFIs), 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 com munication 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, RFIs, 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 | Z&K will ensure that the City has all necessary information to comply with funding requirements. 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 | 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 | 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 RFIs). In Z&K’s experience, lack of quality in the paperwork with items such as poor submittals and unanswered RFIs 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 RFIs 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 | 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:
o Project Construction Documents

PROJECT SCHEDULE
The Contract Documents state that the project will be 260 Working Days and is scheduled to start in January 2024. We understand that the City awarded the Construction of Nicholson Neighborhood Park Improvements to Urban Habitat for the amount of $8,147,197.56. A total of six (6) sealed bids were received on August 31, 2023. The highest bid was $12,055,500.00 and Urban Habitat was awarded the contract as the lowest responsible and responsive bidder with a total base bid amount of $8,147,197.56. We may be able to save working days in construction if we have a contractor that can procure the long lead items promptly. Our preliminary construction schedule yields a time savings along with overhead construction management and construction costs. The most significant saving is less inconvenience to the community and less City exposure due to shortened construction duration.

RISK MANAGEMENT LOG
Based on a site visit and comprehensive review of the project documents, Z&K has identified the following potential risks and response strategies.

ID Risk Description Risk Area Response Strategy
1 Long Lead
Procurement Schedule
We will consider long lead items, material and equipment availability, special delivery, or construction requirements.

Z&K has success on recent projects issuing an Administrative Notice to Proceed for the Contractor to begin on submittals for long lead items and submittals. We will ensure the contractor begins process to order/procure possible long lead items or items that require coordination. Long lead procurement items are to be identified in contractor’s CPM and closely monitored by the Team . The long lead items for this project include electrical equipment, lighting, playground equipment, sunshade structures, plumbing fixtures, etc. 2 Playground
Equipment
Quality
Assurance
Z&K has extensive experience inspecting playground equipment. This requires a Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI). Z&K has Certified Playground Safety Inspectors on staff. 3 Filter Fabric Maintenance We recommend replacing the filter fabric at the bottom of irrigation valve boxes with a steel mesh to reduce rodent intrusion.
4 Coast Like Oak
Trees Maintenance
The three Coast Live Oak trees might get too much water planted in turf with spray irrigation heads, shown on the plans along the east side of the large ballfield. We recommend revisiting the planting and irrigation in this area between the ballfield fence and the walkway. Our team can provide alternative options to the City for review. 5 Berberis & Mahonia
Shrubs Maintenance
We recommend more durable substitutes to the Berberis and Mahonia shrubs. We have experienced disappointing results with Berberis and Mahonia shrubs in past projects. Our team can provide alternative options to the City for review.
6 Planting/Landscape
Constructability
Quality
Assurance
We recommend adding more information about the painting of the steel fencing, gates, and trellises. Our team will coordinate with the City and Contractor to define the details of this item. 7 Planting/Landscape
Constructability Maintenance We recommend adding 12" wide concrete strips along the curbs of the parking lot finger planters. This is due to pedestrians tending to step into these planters when they get out of their vehicles. 8 Geotechnical
Report
Quality
Assurance
The geotechnical report has detailed requirements that we will ensure that the contractor abides by. Examples are the requirement for the Contractor to provide mitigation for ferrous metals in contact with site soils and the horizontal over exaction 2 feet beyond the building footprints and at least 1 foot horizontal over excavations for pavement. 9 Site Security &
Traffic Control
Safety &
Community
Outreach
Park security, and perimeter fencing during construction requirements should be considered and made clear.

Construction limits, Storage yards, Office Trailers, storage containers shall be adequately shown and defined (needed for both access and construction limits). We will verify traffic control for jobsite ingress and egress during peak traffic times due to adjacent residential areas. Trucking Logistics - traffic control, impacts to Residents, Businesses, Park and visitor operations, traffic and pedestrian control plans and requirements will be considered and addressed.

ID Risk Description Risk Area Response Strategy
10 Nearby Residents
and Commercial
Properties
Safety &
Community
Outreach
Due to the project’s proximity to existing residences, Z&K will provide a robust community outreach program prior to the start of construction that will inform both the residents in the vicinity of the project and commercial properties in the vicinity of the project the proposed start dates and completion dates of the project. The City and Z&K can coordinate a pre-construction workshop to be held at the park to provide the residents an opportunity to meet the construction management team and provide them with information on construction activities. 11 Project Stakeholder
Coordination
Community
Outreach
Coordination with project stakeholders and the utility companies will be very important to maintain the schedule of this project. Emergency services will also need to be kept in the loop for project schedule and activities. Z&K shall facilitate a pre-construction meeting with all stake holders such as Fire, Police, and Public Works to provide work schedules as well as emergency contacts for a ll staked holders. This meeting will be held onsite. Agencies should include AQMD San Bernardino County, SBMWD, etc.
12 Fire Department
Adjacent to Project
Safety &
Community
Outreach
The fire department is adjacent to the Nicholson Neighborhood Park. Z&K will coordinate with the existing Fire Department Station to ensure no construction activities impact the emergency operations of the Fire Station. Z&K will also coordinate with the Fire Station for the installation of the new fencing and installation of new barb wire on top of the fence.
13 Fire Department
Coordination Safety We will coordinate with the Fire Department Station for the installation of the new fencing and installation of new barb wire on top of the fence.
14 ADA Access Safety Our team will ensure that there is adequate ADA access on the site and to the baseball fields and playground equipment. We will work with the City on this item.
15 Unforeseen Utilities Schedule &
Budget
We will ensure that the Contractor coordinates with Underground Service Alert and all utilities are marked prior to the start of construction. We will track existing utilities marked by Underground Service Alert to ensure that mark outs are recorded and documented. After mark outs, contractor will be required to pothole. Additionally, contractor shall notify all utility agencies to performing any work. If the contractor hits a utility, they will not be able to claim that the City is liable for the cost of repairs.
16 Change Orders Schedule &
Budget
Z&K has a proven track record of claims avoidance and change order negotiation. Z&K will closely monitor the work and proactively manage the change order process. We will identify potential change orders early and proactively develop solutions.
17 Public Outreach Community
Outreach
Notifications for construction activity must go out to surrounding residential areas as well as Government agencies.

Public Outreach is crucial for this project and Z&K personnel are trained to work with residents, community members, and City officials. We will have ongoing contact and communication with local residents and business impacted by construction activity. This will include notification prior to the commencement of construction and throughout the entire process. Outreach will not be limited to minimum City requirements but will be a daily ongoing pursuit. It is imperative that our community outreach does not only include property owners, business owners and residents, but also elected officials, management from the City, and all affected agencies.
