with a weekly meeting to save time and cost; contractor's
<br />detailed four -week look -ahead schedule; progress and
<br />major decisions during the last week.
<br />■ Special meetings to discuss importantlurgent issues or
<br />which require detailed discussion or review of plans and
<br />specifications
<br />Safe Conditions. Ardurra will monitor project work and adjacent
<br />areas for unsafe conditions, promptly require corrective measures
<br />to be addressed by the contractor in compliance with the contract
<br />documents and report such issues and corrective measures taken
<br />to the City, One of the most pervasive job hazards across all public
<br />works projects is construction adjacent to live traffic lanes. Ardurra
<br />inspectors are intimately familiar with monitoring and enforcing
<br />proper traffic controls per the WATCH handbook, MUTCD and/
<br />or project -specific traffic controlltraffic handling/detour plans.
<br />Inspectors drive and/or walk the project limits at the start, during,
<br />and before leaving the site each day to monitor proper and/or
<br />necessary corrections to the required traffic control measures.
<br />Project Controls. Office engineering duties will include attending
<br />meetings to take notes; preparing meeting minutes; updating
<br />the weekly statement of working days; tracking and logging all
<br />preliminary notices, stop notices, releases, correspondence,
<br />submittals and RFIs; quality control of inspection reports;
<br />prevailing wage inspection labor compliancelCWA administration;
<br />and change management documentation. Office engineers may
<br />also be asked to assist with the review and analysis of schedule
<br />updates, RFIs, submittals, and cost estimates.
<br />Quality Assurance. Ardurra will implement the City's established
<br />Quality Assurance Plan (QAP), Ardurra will coordinate QA1QC
<br />activities daily and review activities as they happen to make sure
<br />that QA/QC procedures are followed and deficiencies resolved in
<br />a timely and efficient manner.
<br />Testing and Observations. Ardurra will coordinate laboratory,
<br />job site, and offsite/source inspection and testing of construction
<br />materials and required observations per the QAP, construction
<br />documents, construction codes, and jurisdictional agencies. We
<br />will monitor testing services, track documentation, and record
<br />testing results. When necessary, corrective measures will be
<br />implemented and re -inspected to verify acceptable completion.
<br />Ardurra will reject work that does not conform to the requirements
<br />of the contract documents and will promptly report unacceptable
<br />work to the City and contractor. Rejected work will be thoroughly
<br />documented, photographed, and tracked until repaired or
<br />replaced to the satisfaction of the City.
<br />Materials and Workmanship. Ardurra CM staff will recommend
<br />approval of materials and workmanship that meet the contract
<br />requirements, in coordination with the authority of the consulting
<br />engineer, architect, fire inspector, deputy inspector, or other
<br />authorized representative or regulatory authorities having jurisdiction.
<br />Utility Coordination. Ardurra will assist the contractor in dealing
<br />with local utilities to coordinate and expedite temporary and
<br />permanent utility installations, utility relocations and utility access
<br />structure adjustments.
<br />Submittal Processing. The construction manager will track
<br />all correspondence and submittals on this project. Ardurra will
<br />receive all contractor submittals and review them for completeness
<br />and general conformance with the contract documents. All
<br />shop drawings, samples and other submittals received from the
<br />contractor will be logged in and routed to the City and the architect.
<br />Responses will be logged and transmitted to the contractor.
<br />Submittals will be tracked throughout the project to ensure timely
<br />response to avoid contractor claims for delay. All submittals will be
<br />expedited utilizing electronic delivery whenever possible (except
<br />for shop drawings, large format documents), Additionally, Ardurra
<br />will recommend key contractual requirements for the contractor
<br />to clearly indicate submittal processing requirements in the
<br />project schedule. Submittal content and review comments will be
<br />monitored to identify potential impacts to quality, cost, or schedule,
<br />with recommended alternatives and/or solutions.
<br />Materials Control. The CM team will establish a materials receiving
<br />process onsite such that all materials deliveries are accompanied
<br />by proper delivery documentation satisfactory to confirm that
<br />all products comply with the plans and specifications, approved
<br />submittals and bear the requisite certificate of compliance for
<br />source, product type, and "Buy America," as applicable. Materials
<br />delivered to the site lacking proper documentation will be flagged as
<br />unacceptable and not allowed to be incorporated into the work until
<br />proper documentation is provided and verified,
<br />RFIs. Upon receipt, the CM team will log, distribute, and respond
<br />to each RFI as required, It is anticipated that most will be handled
<br />upon receipt. However, if the design engineer or City staff are
<br />required to answer questions, the project manager will coordinate
<br />a timely resolution. Ardurra will identify potential impacts to cost
<br />or time that may result due to issues identified in RFIs, with
<br />recommended alternatives or solutions to mitigate the potential
<br />impacts.
<br />Document Interpretation and Technical Assistance. Ardurra
<br />staff coordinates and expedites between the contractor, design
<br />team, and City staff to clarify any questions for interpretation of
<br />the construction documents. Timely, firm, and fair determinations
<br />will be processed to minimize cost and time impacts to the project.
<br />Problems/Solutions. The Ardurra proactive approach serves
<br />to anticipate and expeditiously resolve field problems. Our team
<br />is well trained in problem solving. All issues are processed with
<br />a sense of urgency and presented to the City with suggested
<br />alternatives, cost and schedule impacts, and recommended
<br />solutions. The CM team will quickly implement the alternative
<br />that best suits the interests of the project and the City. Ardurra
