to generate a preliminary punch -list. After completion of the preliminary punch -list items, prepare the final punch list and coordinate with contractor for item completion. All punch -lists generated will include schedules for completion. • Upon project completion, conduct final inspection, close-out permits including encroachment and construction/excavation, and prepare and submit as -built plans to the City. NV5 is committed to executing an expedient close- out schedule. We have had considerable success in outlining the requirements during the initial start of construction and monitoring progress on a monthly basis with milestones. Our philosophy on such projects is "close-out starts during pre -construction." Our efforts will begin at the outset to outline and anticipate all project close-out deliverables. Financial close-out is a critical activity and it is best to have the contractor negotiate final contract amounts once their subcontractors' scope of work is complete. Our post - construction phase services can include: • Document and provide the results of the work to the satisfaction of the City. This may include preparation of field and final reports, or similar evidence of attainment of the Agreement objectives. • Compile detailed punch -lists with the City, consultants, and contractor. NV5 will conduct a preliminary walk-through with the contractor to assure there are no blatant issues and to generate a preliminary punch -list. After completion of the preliminary punch -list items, the project manager will conduct a punch -list walk-through with the consultants to generate a second punch -list, if required. After completion of the consultant's punch list items, the Project Manager will conduct the official punch -list walk- through with City staff and the engineer (and all subs if necessary) to generate the official and final punch list. All punch -lists generated will include schedules for completion. • In the event contractor claims arise, act on behalf of the City to review, evaluate, negotiate and recommend rejection/approval of such claims by our in-house expertise. All potential claims will be identified, logged, monitored and reported immediately to the City. Monitor the collection and completeness of the close-out packages for all components, and then turn in the final project records and documents to the City. • Investigate any claims for damages by private parties and respond in writing within two calendar days of receipt of claim. Responses will be coordinated with the City's project manager. • Advise the City when it is appropriate to file the notice to completion based on all expired time and other conditions required. • Review the contractor's final application for payment for completeness and forward to the City for approval. • Maintain all relevant records for a minimum three (3) years. Allow all authorized federal, state, county, and City officials access to all relevant contract records pertinent to these projects.
