d I, Section 3 — Understanding of Need contractor and its sub -contractors are submitting and uploading their certified payroll to the state website. W&A will spot check daily inspection reports and check all employee interviews with their corresponding certified payroll for compliance. Funding Compliance: W&A has provided project management for federal, state and local funded projects from start to finish, and provided specific services during construction phase such as construction management, inspection and labor compliance. We are familiar with requirements and have an excellent track record of full funding reimbursement for our clients with transportation, water/wastewater, facility and recreation projects. Submittal Processing: The Construction Manager (CM) will process all correspondence and submittals on this project with assistance from our project administrator. He will maintain the current submittals for verification that work in the field is following the approved submittals. All shop drawings, samples and other submittals received from the contractor will be logged in and evaluated to see if we can review them or if additional reviewers are needed. If it is determined that W&A staff would not review the submittal, we will quickly discuss the item with the City Project Manager to assure that we agree. Prior to starting the work, we will go through the submittal list and work out any issues with the content up front prior to the start of work. If we do need the submittal reviewed by the designer or another party, it will be logged in and routed to the reviewer with a desired response. Responses will be logged in and transmitted to the contractor. Submittals will be tracked throughout the project to ensure timely response to avoid contractor claims for delay. All submittals will be expedited utilizing electronic delivery whenever possible (except for shop drawings, large format documents, etc.). Additionally, W&A will recommend key contractual requirements for the contractor to clearly indicate submittal processing requirements in the project schedule. Submittal comments will be monitored to identify potential impacts to quality, cost or schedule, with recommended alternatives and/or solutions. All files will be loaded to the Google cloud file storage. RFI's: Upon receipt, the CM will log, distribute and respond to each Request for Information (RFI) as required. It is anticipated that most will be handled upon receipt. However, if the design engineer or the City staff is required to answer questions, the Construction Manager will coordinate a timely resolution. W&A will identify potential impacts to cost or time that may result due to issues identified in RFIs, with recommended alternatives or solutions to mitigate the potential impacts. Coordination with City: W&A will monitor closely the work of the contractor. The contractor will be required to submit a four -week look ahead of schedule at the weekly meetings. This is a very effective tool in helping to coordinate the construction operation, particularly in relation to any interface operations with the City's activities. W&A will assist the City to minimize disruption to both City and construction operations. Our staff will communicate openly with the project team and constantly be making sure that we are all fully apprised and heading in the same direction. Job Safety: Job site safety is the responsibility of the contractor. W&A will intermittently check that the contractor is following their approved safety plan. The CM will review contractor's safety plan and implement tracking to assure that the contractor is following their safety plan. Our CM will notify the City of any accident or incident related to safety. Periodic Progress Reports: W&A can prepare comprehensive reports for the Project Stakeholders covering the construction projects that we are inspecting. These reports are typically compiled monthly and would include the following information: ✓ Summarized report of construction activities including significant events and accomplished goals ✓ Construction observation reports ✓ Description of progress and equipment used with photos to enhance the descriptions ✓ Comparison of planned vs. actual progress and budget in narrative and bar graph forms ✓ The latest detailed four -week look ahead schedule submitted by the contractor and reviewed by the CM ✓ Identification and discussion of current problems or pending change orders and actions taken or planned to resolve such issues ✓ Discussion of new short- and long-term priorities for the project ✓ Safety compliance and labor compliance reports for contractor and subcontractor employees (if required) ✓ QA/QC update addressing testing and regulatory compliance issues I37311aoclates ....1.
