Mr. Rudolfo Rosas August 25, 2014 Page 5 Task 5: Bidding Support Services Tetra Tech will provide support services to the City during the bidding phase of the work. These services will include the following: attendance at a pre-bid meeting at the City and at the project site; respond to questions on the contract documents during the bid period; and preparation of two (2) addendums. The City will be responsible to distribute the addendums to all plan holders. Task 6: Construction Support Services Tetra Tech will provide support services to the City during the construction phase of the work. Construction support services depend greatly on the contractor's schedule, the adequacy of his submittals, the amount of issues/conflicts that arise during the construction, and the amount of scope the construction manager will complete instead of the design engineer. Tetra Tech does not control the amount of shop drawing submittals, the quantity of RFIs, the adequacy of the O&M Manuals provided by the contractor, or the issues that arise during the construction of the project. We recommend the City budget for the following construction support services: a. Pre -Construction Meeting: Tetra Tech will attend a pre -construction meeting. b. Shop Drawings: Tetra Tech will review shop drawings, equipment specifications, samples and other submittals for compliance with the plans and specifications. For this proposal, we have assumed a total of eighty (80) shop drawing submittals will require our review and included a budget for a second review of forty (40) of these submittals. A brief summary of these shop drawings that we are anticipating can be provided to the City upon request. c. RFls: Tetra Tech will respond to Contractor's Requests for Information (RFI) and provide clarifications of the plans and specifications during the construction process. For this proposal, we have assumed a total of thirty (30) RFIs will need to be responded to of which ten (10) will require sketches or exhibits. d. Periodic Site Visits: Tetra Tech will perform periodic site visits during construction to review progress and attend construction meetings. These site visits and attendance at meetings will only be done if requested by the City. For this proposal, we have assumed that a total of ten (10) site visits to resolve issues will be required. In addition, we have assumed that we will be requested to attend a total of ten (10) construction meetings of one hour in length. e. Minor Plan Revisions: Tetra Tech recommends the City include a budget for sixty (60) hours of minor plan revisions that are requested by the City construction manager. f. O & M Manual: Tetra Tech will complete the O&M Manual (three hard copies and one pdf). Tetra Tech will collect and compile all equipment and product information provided by the contractor and will then incorporate it into the O&M Manual. Included within the manual will be the specifications, maintenance recommendations, and warranty information. g. Start-up Assistance: Tetra Tech recommends the City include a budget of forty (40) hours of a civil/mechanical manager/engineer and forty (40) hours of an electrical manager/engineer to provide assistance to the City's construction manager during the start-up of the facilities.
