1. SFATEM ENT OF QUALIFICATIONS Approach We approach each project with the perspective of an Owner and the insight of a Contractor. Based on our unique blend of experience as both public agency construction managers and at -risk fee developers, Griffin has the unique ability to provide enhanced services to its clients. Similar to an Owner, we approach every project with the perspective that it is our money, our schedule, and our facilitythat is being developed. Similar to a Contractor, we have the extensive field experience to understand the mindset of a Contractor, the often -hidden decision -making process, and an in-depth understanding of the technical issues faced by a Contractor. With these two key components, we provide construction management services to ensure a successful project of the highest quality. Initial Assessment Griffin begins every project with a comprehensive Initial Assessment. This assessment provides the City with a fresh perspective on all aspects of the project and allows Griffin to assess the priorities for executing our services strategically. Typically, we find that this initial assessment results in the immediate need for one or both of the following tasks: Establishing a refined master project schedule. Establish communication channels and policies. Oversee document strategies and specifically howthe information will be communicated to the field. Identify key challenges to the project. Establish and formalize action items for respective team members. Identify and reinforce key project objectives. Establishing a refined master project budget.

It is already clear that a total project schedule is paramount to the City needs. Identify Project Objectives Once this initial assessment and resolution effort are achieved, Griffin will then move toward establishing a standard protocol for the entire project team. We have found that clarity and consistency in direction are the most, significant features of establishing a successful project protocol. To achieve this level of clarity and consistency, Griffin will first establish a clear understanding of City policies and protocols. Given our extensive experience within the public sector, we can effectively mold our approach to our Client and become an extension of City staff. With that in mind, we establish protocols for all aspects of the project. With a two-part approach, Griffin will effectively execute a comprehensive project assessment that will serve as the guiding principles for the project moving forward. Once the Initial Assessment period is completed, we will employ the following four fundamental aspects of our approach: Communication and Document Control, Schedule Management, Financial Controls, and Quality Assurance.
