their services and to log hours spent on the project daily. The Project Manager reviews accrued project hours weekly. Additionally, the Project Manager carefully analyzes project costs and staffing requirements and assigns work hours to project team members accordingly the prior week services are scheduled to be rendered. Adherence to our project budgets relative to construction percent completion based on schedule will be communicated to the City monthly for larger projects, weekly for shorter projects, or at any other interval desired by the City. The City will be notified in writing when reaching budget milestones of 25-percent, 50-percent and 75-percent of total cost exhausted. AKM will not exceed the budget limits agreed to. Tools We note that our Construction Managers, Resident Engineers and Inspectors are equipped with tablets while in the field performing work and inspections. Unlike laptop computers, tablets are small, lightweight and therefore can accompany the field staff while inspecting most all locations on the project site, including excavations. This enables our field staff to document events in as close to real time as possible as opposed to waiting for a break in the work and returning to the field office to utilize a laptop. It also allows field staff to send and receive emails while on site and complete the daily report as the day progresses. An additional benefit is that all project files will be stored on the tablet so that all project related documents can be accessed from anywhere on the site as opposed to keeping large, hard to transport file boxes requiring returning to the field office to search for documents. The tablets are all wi-fi enabled allowing direct access to our server. This way, daily reports, photos and all other field generated documentation can be entered directly into our system rather than being saved on the laptop and then copied over at a later date.
