• Require the contractor to maintain an updated set of drawings, specifications, addenda, bulletins, change orders, or other document updates at the jobsite. Updates shall incorporate modifications and changes from all sources such as submittals, RFIs, field orders, etc. • Process RFIs and assure timely distribution to and response by appropriate project team members (City staff, engineer, other agencies). Response to RFIs shall take no longer than seven (7) calendar days. We will coordinate all technical support and constructability reviews during preparation of responses to RFIs and maintain an RFI log to track closed and outstanding RFIs. • Assure an efficient submittal process, beginning with the contractor delivering a submittal schedule for review within 10 calendar days after the effective date of the construction contract. NV5 will provide technical support during review of the submittal schedule (and at a minimum weekly thereafter) to assure compliance with the contract documents and note any matters of concern to the City, such as potential impacts to schedule. We will monitor, process, and forward for approval all submittals and assure timely distribution to and review by appropriate project team members City staff, engineer, and other agencies). • Review and recommend for approval the contractor's CPM baseline schedule and, upon acceptance, adopt for the remainder of the project. Monitor work progress in accordance with this baseline schedule on a daily, weekly, monthly basis to assure the contractor maintains all milestone and critical -path dates. Indicated slippage will be addressed during the project meetings and written reports. • Review and respond to requests for design revisions by the contractor. Provide recommendations and forward all responses for approval to the City and/or design engineer prior to transmitting to the contractor. • Coordinate evaluation of and provide recommendations for "or -equal" or product substitution requests with the design engineer, City, vendors, manufacturers, and others. • Initiate and review field orders when a change in the work is needed to maintain the design intent. We will issue field orders to the contractor and monitor the work for compliance. Changes will be logged and recorded in the record specifications and plans.

Maintain a change order log to track executed and potential change orders and monitor the amounts against the total construction contract. • Develop a cost control system to monitor actual versus estimated costs, differences will be included in weekly status meetings.

Request, review, analyze, and use for reporting, the daily construction reports as generated by the contractor(s). This will be a vital source of information for identifying and reviewing potential delays, weather impacts, labor shortages, untimely deliveries of long lead items, and other factors that can lead to schedule and cost impacts. Adverse findings will be included in weekly status meetings. • Review and forward for approval the contractor payment applications. Conduct the monthly "pencil draft" with the contractor to review the progress to date and verify that payment applications represent work in place and are in compliance with the accepted SOW and the requirements of the construction documents.
