As we understand, The City plans to engage the services of qualified Construction Management consulting firms to partner with the City in delivering a variety of planned projects. The projects will vary in size and scope and will be initiated via task orders. Selected consultants will respond to task order requests via a concise, yet complete proposal. Responsiveness to task order requests is vital in order for The City to successfully deliver planned projects on time. AKM has a long history of providing first rate service to our clients through on -call engagements. We are therefore mindful of the need to maintain adequate resources to always be able to respond to the City when needed. Our Construction Management Team will diligently manage the project budgets so not to create budget overruns during the prosecution of our services. Although our assigned Project Manager will have ultimate responsibility for tracking, managing and reporting budget status to the City, every team member participates in project/budget management. Our Construction Managers, Field Engineers and Inspectors are required to thoroughly review and understand the project specific scope of work prior to beginning our services, and to log hours spent on the project daily. Our Project Manager reviews accrued project hours weekly. Additionally, the Project Manager carefully analyzes project costs and staffing requirements and assigns work hours to project team members the week before services are scheduled to be rendered. Adherence to our project budgets relative to construction percent completion based on schedule will be communicated to the City monthly for larger projects, weekly for shorter projects, or at any other interval desired by the City. The City will be notified in writing when reaching budget milestones of 25-percent, 50-percent and 75-percent of total cost exhausted. AKM will not exceed the budget limits agreed to. Regardless of the type or size of the project, AKM's goal is to always be effective. In order to be effective, our time and effort must be focused on items and tasks that advance project progress. AKM knows how important documentation is to the construction process. So to marry these two objectives, effectiveness and well organized documentation, AKM employs electronic document control systems to assist in managing projects. Our team has been successfully leveraging electronic document control systems to execute projects for over a decade, and have found success with Procore. Procore is designed to track, manage and store all project documentation. The System is web -based, requiring no enterprise software or servers, providing for turnkey deployment. System server hardware is managed by an independent third party avoiding any potential appearances of a conflict of interest. AKM has recently used Procore in support of the City Projects. Our team is intimately familiar with the system, and is able to provide hands on training to the City staff. The goals of implementing an electronic document control system will be to reduce document response turnaround time, eliminate redundant record keeping and data entry, improve transparency and accountability across project participants, and provide the City real-time access to all project AKM Prop. 23-1061
