PROJECT APPROACH & SCHEDULE We believe a successful project begins with a well-designed work plan. The 292 team proposes the following work plan and time frame based upon the City's proposed milestone timeline. We believe that our prior planning experience with the Elk River Ice Arena, our experience with compressed -schedule projects, and a team with a proven track record on such projects allows us to maintain the aggressive design schedule. The graphic below illustrates the tight timeframe in which a complete design and construction package needs to be prepared. Details for each stage of the work scope are included on subsequent pages. Program Verihcation, Design CunStruction Bidding & !,ytruction Schematic Design & Dev.-I Negotiation Administration Preliminary Cost Estimating One approach to gaining more design time within a schedule into issue multiple bid packages. Multiple bid packages provide many benefits. 1. They help with acquiring long lead-time materials such as long -span bar joists, precast wall panels, site work, and refrigeration systems. 2. By issuing bid packages early, the City of Elk River has the best opportunity to get the most experienced contractors and suppliers. You get them on board before their schedules fill up. 3. Also, byissuing bid packages early and securing contractors, the most expensive items — long -span barjoists, precast wall panels — are bid early and guarded against inflation. 4. Because time -critical items are accounted for, additional time can be allotted to the design schedule to assist in working through the many interior details and items, giving not only the designers but the City more time to review things and make decisions. The 292 team would be happy to discuss the alternative schedule approach In more detail should the City be interested in this approach. The construction industry is cur- rently experiencing escalation in construction cost so every month the schedule slides in the design and permitting phases, a project of this size can lose upwards of $50,000. To put that in perspective, every month the project slides, the project loses 1/3 of a Zombonil Elk River Ice Arena & Lion John Welcht Park Facilities The 292 Design Group team believes that the outlined schedule is achievable s Softball Fields would be readyJune 2019 with focus and dedication by the Owner, Design Team, and Construction • Ice arena would open in multiple stages Manager.
