PROJECT APPROACH BKV G R O U P A i, Y wUL spent ensuring that the documents include all the details necessary to make the buildings truly functional. This is also the phase where the design team will work with the Construction Manager to create a strategy for bidding, including the inclusion of bid alternates and refining the phasing plans and narratives to make sure that the Public Safety building can stay operational during renovation. BKV Group will submit progress sets at 50% and 95% for review by the client team. All comments will be resolved and incorporated into the final deliverable. At 95% completion our last round of Quality Assurance will be conducted. This consists of in-depth review by our in-house QA team as well as a constructability review by our CA staff. Engineering designs and calculations will be peer -reviewed by senior staff unaffiliated with the project but familiar with Fire Station design. The exterior envelope will be analyzed by an outside specialist to confirm product compatibility, proper flashing, and overall system performance. BIDDING AND PERMITTING We will assist the city during the bid process by conducting a pre -bid meeting and site tour, answering contractor questions, reviewing substitution requests, and preparing Addenda. We will help the city and the CM evaluate the bids. Simultaneously we will diligently work through the permitting process so construction can commence promptly. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION AND CLOSE-OUT PHASE During construction, BKV Group will conduct bi-weekly site observations and prepare field reports documenting the progress and any issues that arise. We will diligently review the schedule at each meeting to head -off any issues before they compound into delayed occupancy. We will monitor special inspection and material testing reports to be able to quickly respond to any inconsistencies. We will also attend pre -construction meetings to represent the owner's interests and ensure compliance with design intent. Many of the more sophisticated Construction Managers have the capability to take our BIM model and use it to improve their shop drawings and their coordination in the field. We would be happy to work with them to make that model available. BKV Group strives to maintain a cordial relationship with subcontractors so that all parties are working in the best interests of the project instead of trying to protect themselves from attack. Unsatisfactory work must be redone, but BKV Group will work with the subcontractor to minimize their cost impact and we maintain an open mind when the subcontractor offers suggestions or alternatives. The full design team will be available for ongoing communications and will participate in the review of submittals, substitution requests, and Requests for Information (RFI). We will review pay applications and lien waivers to make sure that the project is moving forward at the same rate that the money is being dispersed. Above -ceiling MEP punch lists, substantial completion, and final completion reviews will be conducted by key team members from each discipline. Project close-out tasks, including warranty reviews, as -built reviews, record drawings, an 1 1-month walkthrough, etc. will be completed with the some aggressive dedication to schedule and client service that the rest of the project receives.
