Construction Management Pre -Construction / Bidding / Award Phase Constructabllity I Contract Document Review I Bid Support: Review of the construction plans and contract documents prior to bidding and report to the City any areas where there may be an opportunity to save money or find areas that can be corrected prior to the bid, resulting in more competitive bids and fewer construction change orders. This assistance is provided during the bidding process. Pre -Project Photographs I Video: The Construction Inspector will document the condition of the project as well as the adjacent areas prior to the contractor mobilizing, thus minimizing any dispute that may arise regarding existing vs. construction damage. Pre -Construction Meeting: We will organize or attend the pre -construction meetings prior to the Notice to Proceed being issued. Notes & a list of invitees & attendees will be distributed. Plans, Specification & Estimate (PS&E): The PS&E package is essentially the contract document from which the contractor will bid and build the project. The project engineer, in consultation with the constructlon manager, takes the approved project and begins the formal design process. Every effort must be made to stay within the scope of the approved project, and adhere to the environmental document constraints. Any changes to the scope must be approved by the city; changes to the scope during the PS&E phase will likely increase construction costs, may require additional environmental studies, and possibly delay the schedule. As the PS&E package develops, a bigger emphasis is made on constructabllity, traffic handling and staging. All can significantly impact construction costs. Bidding and Construction Support • During the bidding process, if so directed, the Interwest Team will be available to answer bidders' questions, prepare drafts of addenda or clarifications to the PS&E and assist in reviewing bids and recommending a contract award. 1NTERWEST Page 115 CONSULTING GROUP 25F-69
