Section 3 — Understanding of Need" <br />SWPPP: W&A Construction Managers and Inspectors have QSP certifications. W&A staff will make sure that <br />the approved Storm Water Pollution Protection Plan is distributed to the contractor and City staff, check that <br />the project is loaded on the state database and that the project complies with the approved WQMP. W&A will <br />enforce all provisions of the Plan and/or other requirements set forth in the specifications. W&A staff is well <br />versed in NPDES monitoring through provision of dedicated services for oversight of developers and <br />contractors on behalf of several public agencies. In addition, our QSP staff will prepare and execute the <br />necessary weekly reports as well as mandated pre and post storm reporting as needed. <br />Materials and Workmanship: W&A will recommend approval of materials and workmanship that meet the <br />contract requirements, in coordination with the authority of the consulting engineer, architect, fire inspector, <br />deputy inspector, or other authorized representative or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction. <br />Written Instruction: W&A will issue written instructions to the contractor regarding routine matters and/or follow- <br />up of verbal instructions as necessary to properly document project issues. Our inspectors have speed memo <br />forms to document any issue and provide immediately a copy to the contractor. <br />Plans, Specs and As-Builts: W&A will periodically review the contractor's as -built updates on the approved job <br />plan set, identify missing items, and require the contractor to keep as -built records up to date throughout the <br />project. At the City's option W&A will keep its own set of as -built plans, which will note the location of <br />subsurface utilities encountered and/or installed, identify where any design or field changes were required <br />(utilizing the corresponding RFI and/or change order numbers), and note the location of critical building <br />components that are covered by finish work. At the end of the project the final as -built plans are submitted to <br />the City. <br />Pre -Final Inspection: The Construction Manager and Inspector will perform the final job walk and prepare the <br />punch list (deficiency list). W&A will coordinate and observe the completion of required corrections. Should the <br />contractor lag on a portion of the completion of project work, W&A will estimate the value of the incomplete <br />items and recommend specific retention amount in accordance with the contract to preserve the City's financial <br />interest. If necessary, a change order will be recommended for approval for completion of the remaining work <br />so that the City may file the notice of completion and start the time after which stop notices and/or claims are <br />no longer valid. <br />Final Inspection: All corrections must be made before W&A recommends processing of the "Notice of <br />Completion." W&A is noted for our attention to detail. Upon completion of the punch -list and final sign -off by all <br />project stakeholders, W&A will make a recommendation to the City regarding the contractor's final progress <br />payment request and prepare a final progress payment report for submission to the City. <br />Delivery of As-Builts and Close -Out Documents: W&A will review as -built plans and prepare as -built reports. <br />W&A will assist the contractor in maintaining a field set of as -built plans to be updated daily and delivered to <br />the City upon project completion. W&A will continually document changed field conditions and not rely on the <br />contractor to document as -built. The Inspector will report and photograph field condition changes. The <br />Inspector will document and keep these as -built conditions on plans on site. W&A will review the contractor's <br />submittal of as -built conditions and compare this submittal to W&A's own documentation. Discrepancies will be <br />discussed, resolved and recorded. Completed as -built plans will be submitted to the City within thirty (30) days <br />of construction completion. <br />W&A will enforce the provisions of the specifications to require the contractor to submit well -coordinated <br />operations and maintenance manuals, warranties and guarantees, bonds, extra stock and/or other items <br />required by the contract documents such that a timely close-out of the project is implemented. W&A will <br />perform closeout duties including final organization of project files and submit to the City for final approval and <br />assist with the verifying all preliminary notices are satisfied, filing of the notice of completion and release of <br />retention. <br />Close -Out: W&A will perform closeout duties including final organization of project files and submit to the City <br />for final approval after purging or storing unnecessary documents and assist with the filing of the notice of <br />completion and release of retention. <br />Warranties and Guarantees: We will track all material warranties and guarantees identified in the specifications <br />and make sure that we receive the required scope of these as well as the correct number of these documents <br />with contact information, product names and manufacturer's representative and contact information.
