Typically, we encourage the contractor to meet with us prior to formal submission of the progress payment request to make certain that there are no miscommunications that might delay review and approval. In addition to verification of quantities to ensure that the contractor is not being overpaid, the review includes: • Review of as -built documentation to make certain that it is up to date. • Review of on -site materials advance payments (if allowed under contract) to make certain that materials previously paid for remain properly stored and, if incorporated into the work, are deducted from the advance installed price. • Review of amounts withheld to correct any significant deficiencies that have been identified but not corrected. Reporting Consistent and complete recording of project progress is important to keep City staff informed of what is happening, to provide a comprehensive record of work performed and the quality of that work, and to have accurate documentation in the event that there is a change or claim. Daily reports are one tool to make certain that all pertinent information is gathered, including: • Climate conditions and their effect, if any, on work activities • Number of workers by trades, including shift work • Material and equipment • Construction activities by trade and location • Special inspections • Deficient or repeated work • Observations of work completed • Interesting or unusual occurrences • Any work -related, off -site activity • Work -related discussions, correspondence, or visitors to the site Our monthly reports will contain a construction progress status update to provide you with a management level overview of construction progress and issues. In each case, we address how we are proceeding to resolve issues. Weekly reports contain "look -ahead" schedules, list of meetings, a summary of work activities, and schedule updates from the week. These reports SR-55/Ritchey Water Improvement Project Construction Management & Inspection Services are very important for monitoring the contractor's schedule and having a detailed look into each week of the project including: • Total work days, weather and manpower statistics • Status of potential changes and change orders • Representative progress photos Project Closeout Punch -Lists Once substantial completion occurs, a punch list is developed of items requiring the contractor's attention to be completed. Our team will schedule the final inspection once the punch list has been delivered. Sufficient payments will be held back so that discrepancy lists are completed in a timely manner. Redline As-Builts Our team will maintain redline as -built plans throughout construction. As RFIs and design clarifications are issued, we incorporate the changes into the redline as -built plans. Any additional contractor as -built deviations from the design documents are included in the redline as - built plans. At the conclusion of the construction phase, we forward the redline as -built plan to you for preparation of the project's official as -built plans. Close-out All changes must be reflected on the as -built plans. All claims and payment items must be negotiated and finalized for final payment. Final payment retention will not be released until acceptance of the project by appropriate authorities. As construction work approaches completion, we work with the contractor to coordinate the collection of warranties, guarantees, lien releases, spare parts, operation and maintenance manuals, and record documentation. We review documentation to make certain that it is in the proper format and contains the information required by contract. We compile this information to verify that all documentation is complete prior to issuing a Certificate of Substantial Completion. Berg & Associates, Inc. is
