Our team will constantly monitor the schedule, noting and making the City aware of any critical path slips, as well as any opportunities to compress the schedule that may arise. Further, timely and thorough submittal review is critical to a project. Examples of activities include: • Coordinate, review & approve the Contractor's proposed schedule for completion of project. • Review contractor's schedule, update submittals for conformance to master schedule and contract documents.

We track documents, including all correspondence. • Ensure an office engineer is available for projects with significant document control needs, and all files will be set up by our office engineer, regardless of size. • Maintain a digital photographic library & significant activities. • Maintain RFI, submittal and change order logs. Ensure consultants and engineers respond within contract time frames.
