UNDERSTANDING OF NEED The Psomas Construction Management and Inspection team firmly believes that the key to a successful project is more than just performing tasks outlined in a scope of work. Any competent team can follow a set of written guidelines. The key to a successful project is performing each task with a realistic and clear understanding of what the real intent of the project is and constructing the final product with a "win -win" attitude. Management of any project requires a proactive approach with talented staff. Psomas has the ability to find and maintain excellent professional staff, and our dedication to organization, documentation and the proactive management of the construction process. Our keen understanding of, and experience with, the public process and the public construction contract administration also results in a smoother project experience. Our team's experience and our proactive approach enable Psomas to stay ahead of the contractor and maintain the project on track for successful completion, on time and within budget. The Psomas approach starts with the end in mind, the end being a quality program delivered on time and within budget. The process begins with the understanding of the main program elements: master project schedule, master project budget, comprehensive scope of work, program and project management systems (web based tracking system, program and project procedures manuals, management and QA forms and reports, checklists, communications protocols, etc.), appropriate and effective boilerplate contract documents, standardized drawing standards and a comprehensive QA/QC program. This provides a sense of order among program stakeholders and the team such that the entire team is focused on the same goals. g Research and define scope [Jf Communicate out -of -scope elements [.� Stay up-to-date on regulatory and agency requirements [� Keep the City informed Cost g Track manpower utilization [.f Forecast workload g Staff with the right people Efficient Management of Tasks for CIP Projects Psomas has provided the City with the following Construction Management services matrix that lists the services Psomas can provide to the City.
