ASCE 41 Structural Evaluation and Scoping Our team will provide an ASCE 41 Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysis for the determination of the ability for the intended plaza structure to be partially removed and to determine what potential strengthening would be required. We will analyze the hazardous material documentation Provided by the City to determine if any additional testing is required and will develop a mitigation plan for this material. Utilizing as -built plans provided by the City, project base drawings of the State Building to be demolished and the Plaza will be prepared. Base drawings will consist of floor plans, RCPs, and exterior elevations as well as the capping and rerouting of any building water, sewer, and irrigation lines. The demolition plan wit[ include the main switchgear as well. We shall prepare up to three alternate site Layouts for new interim parking, vehicular, pedestrian circulation, and landscape for review and selection of the preferred alternative by the Working Client Group. This new design will include outdoor rated switchgear and distribution system to power new outdoor Lighting as well as design for an outdoor rated UPS/invertor system for emergency lighting. Our team will meet with the Authorities Having Jurisdiction to scope out the permit procedures and submission requirements. Estimate With a full understanding of the current market, cost of materials, and capabilities of the local trade contracting community, our estimating team can provide the City of Santa Ana with estimates within 2% of the actual cost. Initial Budget/ Control Estimate Upon completion of the drawings, Bernards' in-house experts prepare an initial estimate, or control estimate, to develop a baseline budget. Progressive Estimate To prevent rising costs and scope creep while staying true the project's goals, Bernards can prepare progressive estimates based on the design's current state and compare it to the control estimate. Any deviations are discussed and resolved as a team. Value Engineering and Constructability Reviews From innovative material applications to strategic construction methods, we explore cost -saving alternatives while maintaining aesthetic intent and project objectives. Elevating Projects and Reducing Costs with the Value Engineering Process In partnership with the ownership, design teams, and trade partners, we evaluate the life cycle costs of building components, systems, and materials to provide design options that balance the budget. Improving Document Quality with Constructability Reviews No single factor influences the number and value of field changes more than the quality of the contract documents. Bernards collaborates with the design team to enhance the project drawings and minimize RFIs by eliminating errors, ambiguities, and items vulnerable to interpretation. Evaluations in the preconstruction phase result in controlled quality during construction and closeout for clear, consistent, and complete contract documents. Publicly Bidding Out Construction Trades by Division Bernards publicly bids out the project by developing a targeted list of the local area's most qualified contractors. We cult this list from our in-house data base of thousands of trade contractors that meet Bernards' standards of quality, safety, and financial stability. Pursuant to City of Santa Ana Charter Section 421 and Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-600 through 2-809, Bernards will be responsible for 1) developing the advertisement draft, featuring the project's description and pre -bid conference dates; and 2) assisting with the advertisement's placement in local trade and DBE industry publications. The project team assists our Estimating department with phone calls to obtain 3 to 5 competitive bids per trade, resulting in the highest quality performance for the best prices.
