RE: RFP No. 22-23-16, CM Services for a Visalia Civic Center Phase 2 Dear Visalia Purchasing Division Evaluation Team,
We are pleased to submit our proposal to the City of Visalia for its Civic Center Phase 2 project and build upon success achieved with with our involvement with the Visalia Emergency Communications Center (VECC), a project of which we were proud to manage. As you will discover within our proposal, our team is uniquely qualified to deliver this project given our extensive civic center/public safety portfolio, demonstrated experience with the City, Darden Architects, LPA, and 41 years of public sector expertise.
We bring a unique understanding of the complexities associated with the delivery of civic centers and public safety administrative projects. As a result, our primary objective can be summarized in one phrase "Excellence in Project Delivery".
This includes excellence in a) the development of budgets formulated thorough robust cost controls and potential cost saving strategies, b) the development of comprehensive project schedules that provide a reliable and actionable road map for the entire project, c) site utilization through the careful integration of all potential impacts to the efficient use of the project site, and d) excellence in quality assurance though our comprehensive Contractor accountability protocols. For Griffin, "Excellence in Project Delivery" is not just a motto, it is a way of approaching Construction Management that permeates every aspect of our business, and delivers unparalleled success to our clients.
We offer a single point-of-contact in Project Manager, Tom Ottenstein, who shares direct experience on a multitude of public safety facilities and administrative complexes, including the ongoing Valley Communication Center with LPA and recently completed Schools First Headquarters project. Tom will be supported by local Construction Manager (and Replacement Project Manager), Lance Solomon, a former Public Works Inspector and Certified Construction Manager, who will be engaged as the project approaches construction. Lance will bring valuable experience and lessons learned on projects such as the Carlsbad Police & Fire Headquarters, Orange Fire Station, and a number of buildings which focus on community meeting spaces.. This team will be supported by Jon Hughes, Project Executive, and Constructability Review Specialists, Deryl Robinson, who will draw upon his prior experience working on the high-profile $400M County of Orange Civic Center & Council (Board) Chambers, Westminster Police Department Headquarters and several additional police/fire facilities and civic centers.
Additionally, in an effort to capitalize on lessons learned from past projects, and build upon the successes achieved on the VECC project, we have included Rob Carnes as a Constructability Review Specialist. Rob will bring his intimate knowledge to the City, his unique understanding of site constraints, and a deep understanding of the infrastructure needed for the integration of past work with this next phase of development. And finally, we have also partnered with local Visalia firm, 4Creeks, to provide cost estimating/value engineering support for this project.

Approach
SECTION NO.02
The City of Visalia has been planning this project for a very long time, and it is a pleasure to finally see Phase 2 of the Civic Center project come to fruition. Based on our experience working on Phase 1 of the Civic Center project for the Visalia Emergency Communications Center (VECC) project, we understand the City has an ambitious goal of developing the entire surrounding area into a Civic Center community fixture.
For this phase of the project, we understand the City intends to build a Public Safety Office Building (PSOB) roughly 45,000 to 50,000 square feet. This facility will be the next step in the enhancement of public safety for the community, building upon and integrating closely with the VECC and its critical infrastructure. Though an office building in nature, we anticipate this building will need to incorporate some, if not all, of the same essential services components involved in the VECC We also understand the City intends to build an Evidence Processing and Storage Building, roughly 16,500 square feet. This too will build upon the public safety elements already implemented and will need to achieve the same level of essential service criteria which was applied to the VECC.
And integral to this project will be the construction of a new City Council Chambers of roughly 10,500 square feet. It is not uncommon for the City Council chambers to be activated in an emergency, as elected officials often have to perform public updates and coordination among multiple agencies and departments. To this end, we recognize the City Council will also need to be integrated into the communications apparatus of the public safety facilities. Yet, we also understand the City Council Chambers are public facing and must be designed and implemented in a way that is inviting, efficient, and represents the aesthetic and culture of the community.

Strategic Considerations
Griffin Structures has gone to great lengths to research and understand the challenges and opportunities for
this project. As a result of this effort, we have prepared the following strategic considerations to demonstrate
our approach and illustrate the value we offer. These
considerations are prepared in a question-and-answer
format for ease of reading.
Q: What unique infrastructure is likely needed
for the Public Safety Office Building that will
require specialized coordination?
The Public Safety Office Building is a unique facility that require unique infrastructure. Given that it will likely need to interconnect with the VECC, and given its critical nature, there is a high probability the PSOB will need to incorporate at least some essential services criteria. Such infrastructure includes, but is not limited to:
• Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
• Generator Back-Up Power supply
• Redundant Power systems
• Automatic Transfer Switching
• Data Cabling Coordination
• Waterless Fire Suppression Systems
• Fiber Communication Lines
• Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC)
Infrastructure
• Custom Console Units
• Data Center Racks and Cable Tray Layout
Griffin Structures will work closely with the City to review the current needs of the City to determine if these critical systems need be incorporated into the design, and we
will work closely with the Police Department and City
staff to integrate those items deemed essential.
Q: In addition to building components, how
will the Construction Manager facilitate the
incorporation and coordination of key regulatory
requirements for the project?
Beyond the infrastructure, there are additional
regulatory requirements that must be integrated into
the project. Griffin has a long history of supporting
Cities and their design team in the coordination of these agencies, and we will bring our experience to bear for
the benefit of the project to ensure there are limited
regulatory surprises to the project. Such regulatory
requirements include, but are not limited to:
• Essential Services Building Act
• Critical Operations Power Supply (COPS)
• California Law Enforcement Telecommunications
System (CLETS)
• R56 Grounding Standards
• California 911 Rules and Regulations
Griffin will work closely with the City and the design
team to coordinate all the regulatory requirements that may pertain to this facility, and to integrate that criteria into the bid documents for successful delivery. Having
this understanding will be critical to the success of the project.
GRIFFIN STRUCTURES
2. PROPOSED PROJECT A PPROACH 7
Q: What unique characteristics should the
construction management team focus on as
it pertains to the design and construction of a
state of the art City Council Chambers?
City Council Chamber facilities are challenged by the
fact that they serve both a public function as well
as sometimes an essential service function. Griffin
Structures has had the pleasure of building and
renovating multiple council chambers and we have
found that the key to success is understanding this dual function.
The public facing requirement for this facility will
require enhanced audio visual capabilities to ensure
the public has unfettered access to the City Council
process. Integrating the dias into the public viewing
screens, sharing video from the podium, allowing for
hybrid council meeting sessions, all these nuances must be considered when designing and building a council
chambers. We are well versed in these systems and will
bring our recent and relevant experience to bear as we
coordinate with the City and design team.
Similarly, to the extent the City intends to activate the City Council in an emergency setting, it will therefore be critical that the Council Chambers be integrated into the secure telecommunications systems associated with the
PSOB and the VECC. This, with an eye to future phases of the project, will be key to the successful delivery of this building.
Finally, security will be an essential component of the Council Chambers as well. We find that the installation of anti-ballistics into the dias, while not creating the appearance of a hard physical separation between
Council members and their constituents requires a deft
touch. In the course of working with other municipalities we have found unique strategies that provide for the
security of the City Council while also maintaining an
open experience for the public, maximizing public
participation. We will bring these strategies to bear for this project as well.
Q: What unique considerations should be
considered when designing and building the
evidence storage facility?
Evidence storage buildings have two critical functions; the preservation of the evidence, and the proper
handling and processing of the same. The design and
engineering of the facility is a primary driver of these 2 functions. Essential services requirements will need to be implemented for the preservation function, and the
layout, process flow, and technology built into the facility will be critical to the evidence processing function.
Griffin has performed many analyses of evidence storage facilities, and we have worked extensively to integrate these elements into an efficient, reliable, and fiscally sound program and design which we will bring to bear
on this project for its successful implementation.
With these considerations in mind, along with many
others inherent to the successful execution of a cohesive civic center, Griffin will then employ our well tested
construction management approach and serve the City
as the central coordinator bringing these many distinct elements together into a cohesive whole. To that end, we therefore offer the following approach to construction
management and work plan.
GRIFFIN STRUCTURES
2. PROPOSED PROJECT A PPROACH 8
PHASE 1: PRE-BID SERVICES
Construction Management Plan
Griffin Structures begins every project with a comprehensive Initial Assessment. This assessment provides the City with a fresh perspective on all aspects of the project currently underway and allows Griffin to assess the priorities for executing our services strategically.
Project Kick-Off Meeting
Key to the development of the Construction Management
Plan will be the kickoff meeting. Griffin will meet with the City and all team members to establish the key roles and responsibilities, the status of the project, objectives of the City, and use this information in the development of its plan Review Existing Documents
Once underway, Griffin will review all existing documents to orient our approach to the project and gain an in-depth understanding of the work performed to date, and the
needs related to the project. This will include and regulatory documents, EIR, CEQA, community input, staff reports,
Council resolutions and all other criteria produced to date.
Establish a Master Schedule
With this initial analysis having been completed, Griffin will produce a comprehensive master project schedule. This
schedule will include all aspects of the project, including but not limited to:
Design Iterations
Contractor prequalification (if desired)
Bidding
Construction Document completion
Phases of construction
City installations
Utility connections
City IT installations
Punch List
Commissioning
Contingency
Constructability Review
During the design process, Griffin Structures will perform extensive constructability reviews. Griffin will evaluate key aspects of the design with each review, with a particular attention paid to those items that can result in added cost, extended time, or compromised value.
At each stage of design, the documents reveal different characteristics, which we will be evaluating. At the Concept and Schematic Design phase, our primary focus will be
on the efficiency of use, adherence to the program, site layout and massing, facility orientation, and basis of design.
Though these aspects of the project do not always provide a detailed analysis of constructability issues, they provide the framework that results in those issues in later iterations.
Given our extensive history of delivering projects of a similar size and nature, we will identify those basic parameters that result in challenges later.
Approach & Workplan
WESTMINSTER POLICE DEPT HQ
GRIFFIN STRUCTURES
2. PROPOSED PROJECT A PPROACH 9
At the Design Development and Construction Document
phase of design, we will drill down into the project's critical details in a manner that is unparalleled in our industry. Many Project Managers only look for apparent discrepancies like missing call- outs, flawed notes, and other low-hanging fruit.
Our review will search for inconsistencies such as civil and MEP point of connection elevations, waterproofing details and drainage, heat load orientation, framing coordination issues, and countless other pertinent information.
Finally, the key to the usefulness of our reviews is in our use of Bluebeam technology. This tool allows for the digital evaluation of the drawings, highlighting the details in question, and producing a report that is easy to understand and is actionable. Utilizing this tool with our hands-on field experience allows Griffin to produce constructability reviews of the industry's highest quality.
Communication & Document Control
Griffin will then establish standardized communication
protocols. These protocols are critical in a construction project of this size and scope. Accordingly, Griffin will establish a clear line of communication between the team members, which will be utilized and maintained through
the construction process. Working closely with the City, Griffin will identify the proper channels for all project team members' communication.
The key to this effort is our approach to document controls.
Griffin Structures employs the use of Submittal Exchange for all project document controls. This system is comprehensive, adaptable, and is straightforward, and easy to use.
Essentially, the system works as follows:
a) Specifications for the requirement to use Submittal
Exchange will be integrated into the project documents
and will be provided requiring Contractor compliance.
b) Once under contract, the Contractor will be integrated into the system.
c) Once the Contractor completes the project design,
the Submittal Exchange team will review the entire
specification book and upload all submittal requirements into the system.
d) The Construction Manager will then upload all team
members.
e) All RFIs, submittals, ASIs, CCDs, Delta’s, Daily Reports, Project Photos, SWPPP reports, schedules, and Closeout
documents will have a unique tab for cloud storage.
f) All documents that require a review flow will have
associated links that identify who is on task.
g) Upon final closeout, all documents will be consolidated into a single digital file easily searchable for future needs.
All As-Builts, O&Ms, and Warranties will be included as well as progress documentation.
By utilizing this cloud-based format, Griffin Structures can establish a single document portal that saves and
manages all project documents. Utilizing this cloud-
based system as a single source of document control
provides clear and consistent communication to the field, ensures comprehensive document coordination, protects
against claims, accelerates the construction schedule by streamlining communications, and ultimately saves the
entire project significant costs by eliminating printing and shipping, and improves efficiency. For further information on Submittal Exchange see: http://www2.submittalexchange.

Meeting Attendance
Through the course of the project, Griffin will attend all design coordination meetings, and participate as the City’s representative to address items we believe may bring added value and to address those components of the design
that may be problematic. Accordingly, we anticipate to
participate virtually as needed for this purpose.
Additionally, we anticipate we will need to support the City at City Council meetings, and will bring value added insights in the development of exhibits, narratives, and address questions that may arise during these meetings.
As indicated in Addendum 1, we anticipate there being
3 in person Council meetings and 3 in person design
coordination meetings.
Independent Opinion of Probable Cost
Griffin has partnered with 4Creeks, a firm local to Visalia, to perform cost estimating and development of an
independent opinion of probable cost. Griffin will work closely with the estimating staff, the design team, and bring out considerable market experience in public safety facilities and Civic Centers to support the City. By utilizing our extensive public improvement development experience, we can provide the City with a detailed estimate that reflects current market unit prices, market escalation forces, and various other pricing strategies to provide the City with a realistic understanding of the cost of construction and total project costs.
Dispute Resolution Services & Claims Procedure
Disputes are not uncommon, both in the design phase and the construction phase. During Design, we will work hard to create a collaborative team approach that establishes clear targets for value added systems and designs, while working hard to preserve the design intent and the overall program. Our role in this regard will be particularly helped by our past experience working with both LPA Inc. and
Darden Architects on the VECC project. By leveraging our relationships with these firms, we are confident we can establish a collaborative working team that will deliver a high-quality design to the City.
Contractor Submittal Log
As mentioned above, our communications plan involves the use of Submittal Exchange which serves multiple functions.
One of those functions is that, by virtue of this tool, we will establish a comprehensive Contractor Submittal log which will be integrated into our cloud-based document
management system and be issued to the successful
contractor. By using this system, we are able to mitigate potential oversights by the Contractor and establish a
uniform submittal log that all parties agree to prior to the start of the project. Additionally, we will provide a standard specification section for integration into the Division 01 specifications which will ensure the Contractor is made aware of this requirement at the time of bid.

Third Party Coordination & Permitting
The legal process of obtaining agency approvals for
development plans is often complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. We work closely with the required
agencies having jurisdiction over your project to secure all necessary permits and approvals. We help you navigate
the discretionary review and approval process, helping you navigate the discretionary review and approval process, ensuring it runs smoothly and that all approvals are
expeditiously secured. We do this by recommending the
team do the following:
a) Involving all relevant governmental agencies early
in the schematic design phase, prior to submittal for
discretionary review.
b) Discussing project goals and requirements, identify
and resolve potential conflicts, and map out a schedule and course for the review and approval process.
c) Encouraging communication and collaboration
between the City, the design team, and the pertinent
regulatory agencies. This promotes trust, familiarity, and a sense of authorship at the agency level, which can lead to quicker review and approval times.
d) Coordinating with key staff and consultants to
ensure we meet or beat the established discretionary
approval schedule. Our team’s streamlined workflow
system enables us to track and share information with
all necessary parties and better your project's review
process.
e) Maintaining a consistent presence at the planning and building departments within the various jurisdictions for your project. This facilitates an open dialogue between regulatory staff and the design team and helps us stay on top of discretionary review deadlines

PHASE 2: BIDDING PHASE SERVICES
Contractor Prequalification
Given the complexity of this project, and the importance of having a high-quality contractor under contract, would recommend the City perform a rigorous Contractor
prequalification effort. A good Contractor is essential to a successful project, so long as it is performed and executed a careful and experienced manner. To that end, Griffin Structures uses the Dept. of Industrial Relations questionnaire template for performing this effort. Working with City staff and the design team, Griffin will seek to establish certain minimums for overall revenue, bonding capacity, safety EMR rating, comparable experience
minimums, and possibly even specialty subcontractor
prequalification. We would also seek out and invite key Contractors with a proven track record building similar facilities, many of which are recommended by local
municipalities.
Bidding
Once a prequalified list of Contractor is selected, Griffin will oversee and implement the bid process closely
with City procurement policies. Griffin will serve as the point of contact for all Bid RFIs, bid communication, and substitution requests. Additionally, we will oversee the issuance of Addenda and responses to questions. Finally, we will perform an extensive bid analysis review and provide recommendations to the City for award.
During this process, Griffin will manage the bid schedule by maintaining regular weekly meetings with the team to ensure all bid RFIs are addressed, and addenda are properly managed. This will ensure the bidders have an accurate
scope of services to bid to and that the City receives
responsive and responsible bids from the list of prequalified bidders.
Once bids are delivered, Griffin will evaluate all responses and produce a Bid Analysis for review with the City. This analysis will involve both qualitative and quantitative studies so the City can arrive at the best value determination.
Upon confirmation by City staff that the recommendation for award has been established, Griffin will work with the City to draft a staff report that accurately describes the recommendation for award to the board.

PHASE 3: CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Project Controls & General Administration
Mobilization will be key to the success of the project. Our recommendation is to establish communication with the
Contractor early, often prior to the preconstruction meeting, and use that time to lay the groundwork for expectations, timing, and other essential submittals necessary for an effective mobilization. This will include addressing site utilization, phasing plans, baseline schedules, and a robust schedule of values. We find this to be a very effective way to ensure the project starts smoothly and efficiently.
Project Controls & General Administration
Once the Contractor is on board, Griffin Structures will apply all the tools at its disposal to provide comprehensive Program and Construction Management oversight to the
team. This effort will encompass all the requirements in the RFP and will do so in a systematic manner.
One key aspect of this effort will be to ensure the project schedule is maintained. To do so, Griffin will oversee the Contractor’s production of the comprehensive construction schedule that incorporates all the elements above that occur during construction and demonstrate a clear and logical critical path. Our extensive construction experience will determine if the Contractor has a good understanding of the project that is both realistic and achievable.
Phasing Analysis is also critical to a successful project schedule. Understanding the project's key components, the City's concerns, neighborhood sentiment, traffic concerns, and protection of existing facilities; all these aspects need to be considered and reviewed regarding the schedule to ensure that the project can achieve the overall objectives.
Griffin will then provide strict communication protocols to ensure answers to questions, reviews of submittals,
submissions for deferred permits, and requests for
inspections are all process timely and effectively.
Corrective measures may need to be implemented should
the Contractor fall behind. As described above, the City and project suffer when the Contractor fails. Therefore, Griffin will employ extensive field experience and construction understanding to provide solutions to schedule failures to maintain the project's overall objectives and protect the City's investment.
By these methods, Griffin will maintain the project schedule and expedite productivity as needed.
CM Project Invoices
Griffin will submit all invoices to the Project Manager which will include a summary of labor expenditures, direct costs, and billed subconsultant costs. These statements will be organized as prescribed in the RFP and contract with the City.

Processing Progress Payments
Another critical aspect to the success of any project is the effective management of financial controls. Griffin has extensive experience in financial controls and is uniquely qualified in employing those controls.
Griffin is keenly aware of the importance of maintaining financial controls over the invoicing process. Accordingly, we will establish a systematic approach to reviewing invoices specifically by executing the following:
a) Establishing a very detailed Schedule of Values that breaks out both labor and materials for each trade and
spec section.
b) Review all invoices for consistency with improvements installed in the field.
d) Evaluate subcontractor performance to anticipate
potential bankruptcies of subcontractors who are not
adequately solvent to perform on the job.
Communications & Coordination
As described above, we will have a robust communications plan in place that will allow for a streamlined approach and facilitate resolution to challenges inherent in construction projects. This will be facilitated by our implementation of standardized Meeting Minutes, Weekly Reports, Monthly
Reports, Change Order Logs, Field Observation Reports, and the careful documentation of all Contractor communication including Daily Reports, 3-Week Look Ahead Schedules,
and Safety Meetings. By utilizing our advanced document management system we will serve as the central repository for all project related communication.
Quality Assurance & Observation
Griffin Construction Managers are inherently construction inspectors. By utilizing our keen understanding of all aspects of construction, our Construction Manager will perform
regular inspections of all aspects of the project daily. We will review material deliveries, material types, installation methods, finished installations in comparison to contract documents, and construction code adherence.
Additionally, we will coordinate the timely execution of all specialty inspections, including geotechnical, building dept., special inspections, and materials testing, to ensure the City receives the highest level of quality and consistency with the plans and specifications as well as all standards and practices.
Griffin employs multiple forms of photography and
technology to enforce the quality of the construction
process. Accordingly, we will perform the following:
a) Record Existing Conditions. Before a Contractor begins construction, we will perform detailed video surveillance of the entire site and the surrounding site to ensure there is no damage to the existing infrastructure and mitigate against any potential future claims.
b) Daily Photography. Griffin will photograph the
progress of the job daily. This will serve as a record of the project throughout the job and a vehicle for resolving
issues.
c) Bluebeam Technology. Griffin employs the use of
Bluebeam technology to facilitate the communication
of challenges in the field for their quick resolution and documentation.
d) BIM Technology. Griffin has extensive experience in the deployment and management of Building Integration
Modeling and can adequately identify and resolve issues that are discovered through this medium.

We will employ our Field Observation Report weekly.
Typically updated and presented at the weekly meeting, we will track all issues, and observations, identified by the CM and the project team (design team, City, operations staff, etc.) and follow them on this log. The log will identify the issue, the date it was observed, a photograph of the issue, and a resolution description once the item has been closed.
In effect, this log serves as a running punch list of all issues identified and addresses these issues promptly.
Submittal Review & Management
Griffin will review all submittals to ensure they are complete and ready for review by the Design Team. The Contractor often requires counseling on properly submitting and
processing submittals. Griffin will counsel the Contractor as needed to ensure no errant or incomplete submittals
are processed. Upon review by the Design Team, Griffin will concurrently review the Design Team's comments to ensure no additional scope or time is added to the scope of work for the Contractor. Should we find such triggers, Griffin will hold the submittal for further review until a determination can be made as to whether another solution is available that does not impact the budget or schedule.
RFI Management
As with submittals, Griffin will oversee the review and distribution of all RFIs to the appropriate parties using the Procore system. In that regard, we will enforce the timeline requirements for RFI review to ensure the Contractor
receives the requested information in a manner and
timeframe consistent with the contract and does not impact the schedule.
During the review process, should the Design Team require additional coordination, meetings, workshops, or otherwise, Griffin will coordinate and oversee such sessions to ensure that the result is comprehensive and answers the questions at hand. As with submittals, Griffin will review the answers to RFIs to ensure they answer the question, do not add scope or time, and are responsive to the issues at hand. Should the Contractor submit unmerited or frivolous RFIs, Griffin will return the RFI to the Contractor unanswered and direct them to the appropriate plans or specifications where they can find the answer. Griffin will review all submittals to ensure

Change Order Management
Construction projects are inherently iterative operations.
With multiple efforts and coordination of tasks and efforts underway concurrently, managing the discovery and
correct identification of changes is particularly challenging.
Accordingly, we will review and address all possible changes in work in the following manner:
a) The first component to correctly addressing possible changes in scope and cost is to identify what is and is not a real change. We will perform a comprehensive
analysis of the issue at hand and determine if a change has occurred. The key to this analysis is our enhanced
understanding of contracts and scope to determine if the issue is already covered under the existing scope.
b) If a change is in fact necessary, we will then seek to execute this change in a manner that results in a no-cost solution to the City. This may involve proposing materials and/or methods that are comparable in scope to the
original intent, thus allowing for solutions that do not compromise quality, schedule, or cost.
c) If such an option is not possible, or if unforeseen
conditions materialize that result in a real change to the project's cost, Griffin will then perform a detailed analysis of the best form of execution. This may take the form
of a hard estimate for the proposed change or if a T&M
execution is in the project's best interest. Another option is to utilize a T&M/Not-to-Exceed method, which allows
for the execution of a proposed change while putting a
ceiling on the final costs of the change.
d) Finally, any change that is officially recognized will undergo a detailed examination of costs, including but
not limited to: materials back up, labor analysis, labor rate analysis, detailed subcontractor back-up, time impacts, and a unit cost comparison based on industry trends.
Together, with these tools, we will be able to provide
financial protection to the Client to avoid production
challenges, protect the City's resources against
overpayment, and ensure proper accounting of the project's health.
Claims Review & Analysis
As it relates to managing potential claims, we utilize a multi- tiered approach. The most effective way to mitigate claims is to avoid them altogether. This seems obvious but is, in fact, the most challenging aspect of managing a successful project. To prevent claims, there are a few fundamental principles that we follow:
a) Clarity = Enforceability: If the direction is clear, the drawings and specifications consistent, and the direction to the field in line with these documents, then there is little to no chance of a future claim.
b) When Everyone Succeeds, the City Succeeds: This is
a critical concept that many professionals do not grasp or pursue. Claims arising out of a need to mitigate
against risk or loss. Avoiding risk for all parties lowers the likelihood of claims.
c) Commitment to Value: Despite the efforts above,
sometimes things go wrong. A submittal gets submitted
and approved incorrectly. A material specification is
discontinued, and its replacement is three times the
cost. Drawings do not identify the total scope of work. In instances like these, a clear commitment to value rules the process. In each of the instances listed above, Griffin can navigate and resolve these issues in a manner that
provides value to the City (i.e., little or no cost increase), continued progress (timely decisions that do not delay
the schedule), and creative architectural solutions
(maintaining the overall quality of the finished product).
By having a balanced understanding of all the aspects of value to the project, Griffin can mitigate the conditions that often result in claims.
d) Clear Documentation & Legal Understanding:
Despite all the above, sometimes claims do arise. The
critical defense against these occurrences is clear
documentation and a comprehensive understanding
of the contract and contract code. Griffin Structures
employs elite construction management professionals
with an extensive knowledge of contracts and contract
code and employs a sophisticated and comprehensive
document management system that ensures claims
can be mitigated when unavoidable. A more detailed
description of our document management system is
provided below.

2. PROPOSED PROJECT A PPROACH 17
Inspections & Observation Services
Griffin will perform daily inspections of all work performed in the field to ensure the installations are performed to achieve the necessary standards and requirements of the project. This will involve walking the site continuously, photographing work as it happens, and preparing a daily field report that identifies crew sizes, equipment used, efforts undertaken, deliveries received, and inspections performed.
All quality assurance activities will be documented utilizing the appropriate format, including, but not limited to, issues logs, photographs, inspection records, RFIs, approved
submittals, corrective work logs, and other electronic and verbal communications. When incorrect installations occur, or inspections are failed, such events will be communicated in real-time and summarized in the necessary
documentation as may be required.
CLOSEOUT PHASE
Ready for Inspection
Griffin will ensure that the Contractor has completed their work in a manner that is satisfactory to meet all necessary conditions for a final inspection.
Punch Walk
Griffin will coordinate the project's final punch walk
to ensure all improvements are per the plans and
specifications. Specifically, Griffin will employ a Field Observation Log during construction to identify quality issues observed by the project team on an ongoing basis.
This will serve to function as an ongoing pre-punch list and help minimize issues discovered at final punch walks.
Griffin will also oversee the following punch walks to confirm corrective action is resolved.
Punch List
Once completed, Griffin will issue a comprehensive punch list for completion by the Contractor. Griffin will oversee the completion of these items and ensure that all deficiencies and corrections are completed to the City's satisfaction.
Closeout Documents
Integral to our cloud-based document management
system, Submittal Exchange will assemble all guarantees, certifications, affidavits, leases, easement deed, operating and maintenance manuals, warranties, and any other
closeout documents. This system will provide a complete digital file for all documents for future use, as well as maintain a cloud-based file for future use.
Conclusion
Griffin Structures prides itself on providing unparalleled construction management services. As described above,
Griffin will serve as the eyes and ears of the City. Our motto is “no surprises.” We achieve that by proper management (avoiding the first place) and clear and concise
documentation (for defense and resolution of unavoidable issues). Accordingly, Griffin will provide comprehensive construction management as detailed in the RFP.

Public Sector Decision-Making Processes
Public sector decision-making processes are multifaceted. These decisions work together like gears, dependent on one another. Our 41 years of public sector experience is but a mere testament to our understanding of these processes, advancing decisions from City project staff, to executive City staff, to City Council.
Strategic decisions define the what and the why. These decisions are long-term, encapsulated in a policy driven by councilmembers and related politicians as it relates to obtaining community support for the project, approving the Capital Improvement Program, allocating budget, and more.
Tactical decisions explain how the work should be done. These decisions bring the long-term view into a plan or a strategy for the medium and short term which includes the role of City Staff. In fact, the purpose of the RFP is an excellent example of staff identifying how our team will supplement the City.
Operational decisions define how and when the work is actually done. These are the day-to-day decisions that will determine the execution of a project and its success, and where our team will aid in serving as the City’s representative successfully managing this project.
Knowledge of Public Sector Procurement Processes
Our core business has been to provide program and construction management services to the public sector since 1981. We understand the nuances and details of the Public Contract Code as it relates to the procurement process as well as the procedural requirements required for staff reports, review periods, advanced posting requirements and the related Council approval process. Moreover, we have experience delivering projects under every delivery method (some of which we have invented ourselves) available to local government, recognizing Campbell is a general law city. This experience extends to professional service contracts, construction contracts, furniture agreements, and more.
Budget + Schedule Management Success
As a result of Griffin Structures extensive experience with protecting Client interests utilizing our hybrid design, construction, and owner mindset, Griffin Structures projects are historically completed on schedule and budget. The recently completed $52M Yorba Linda Library & Cultural Arts Center was delivered on time and with over $2M returned client funds as a result of additional savings realized within the project contingency, information systems budget, and FF&E. Additionally, on the $36M Marina Park Community and Sailing Center project we were able to deliver this project significantly under budget by 11% and ahead of schedule as well. issue.
Sustainability Excellence
Within our extensive public portfolio, we have completed several sustainably recognized projects, including LEED Platinum, Net Zero, AIA Top 10 COTE, and additional designations. We understand and acknowledge the positive community and environmental impact of sustainably designed projects and we are ready to review and oversee a sustainability plan, provide recommendations, and monitor progress to ensure the project achieves or exceeds any of your goals.

Plaza Drive Road Construction & Plaza Drive Business Park- Visalia, CA Project Manager/ Civil Engineer
This project included engineering design for 1,250 feet of Plaza Drive (a major arterial street with a right or way width of 134’-146’ and the main thoroughfare to the City’s industrial park), around 1,300 feet of Crowley Ave., the Crowley and Hurley intersections, and roadways in the Plaza Drive Business Park. The project included underground storm and sewer mains, complete roadway construction and striping, and traf�c signal installations and modi�cations at the Crowley and Hurley intersections. The Plaza Drive Business Park area was also master planned as part of the design. This project was unique because it utilized a signi�cant amount of bioswales designed along the roadways to �ltrate and minimize the amount of storm water runoff to the drainage system. The approximate construction cost for this project was around $4.3 million.

Visalia Road Improvement Project Phase 1
Construction Management/ Inspection
This project was a major street reconstruction and widening project at one of the major entrances to the City of Exeter. This project included complete street reconstruction and widening of over 0.5 miles of Visalia Road. Through 4Creeks value engineering efforts the street section was changed to a Full Depth with Reclamation (FDR-C) section to save costs and minimize the impact to existing underground utilities. The project included installation of a new sewer lift station and traf�c signal. At a request from the City, 4Creeks staff coordinated a new and safer location for the new lift station than what was shown on the original plans.
Major utility relocations were coordinated by the 4Creeks team with Frontier, CVIN, Southern CA Gas Co, and Southern CA Edison company (SCE). 4Creeks coordinated with the design engineer and SCE to redesign plans and save the City over $400,000 in unnecessary overhead utility undergrounding costs. 4Creeks also redesigned the landscaping on the project per a request from the City which resulted in a really clean and pretty looking entrance to the City. 4Creeks was hired to perform the construction management, inspection, surveying, labor compliance and materials testing services for this project. We teamed with NV5 to assist with a portion of the labor compliance, inspection, and materials testing work.
Outcome: 4Creeks used our proactive construction management philosophy and teamwork type mentality to work effectively with all parties involved and complete this project on time and under budget. 4Creeks staff saved the City of Exeter over $600,000 on this project through value engineering and our proactive construction management approach.
