~ ~ CONSTRUCTION SERVICES ' The following is a general description of the major services which we anticipate providing to the City of Elk River and the Elk River Hockey Association: ' Working With the Community - We understand that this is truly a community project and that support both . financial, and in labor and material, will be forthcoming as dte project develops and enters into construction. Mortenson's "open book" approach to project management will allow for these gifts to ® directly benefit the Hockey Associazion. Our project management staff will be encouraged to support these efforts. We will coordinaze and manage these components of the project to accommodate a timely completion, while maximizing the monies saved by these efforts. ^ Cost Estimating -Utilizing our extensive historical data base construction costs, as well as our staff of experienced estimators in all disciplines including architectural, strocmral, mechanical and electrical, ® Mortensen will provide the owner with the most accurate, reliable and timely estimates of construction costs throughout the duration of the project. Project estimates will be provided on a regular basis during . the design phase. This will enable the owner to make decisions which are influenced by cost with the highest level of confidence. Additionally, after the completion of the construction documents and ® subsequent awazd of trade contracts, project change requests which are issued for pricing by the trade contractors will be estimated in detail by Mortensen jobsite cost engineering staff to ensure that trade ® contractor pricing is accurate and reasonable. ®• Value Bngineering/Cost Benefit Analysis -Mortensen will proactively analyze all phases of the facility's design from a construction viewpoint with the goal of balancing performance and quality against initial and life cycle costs. As a continuous process during the design phase, our staff of professional value engineers will lead the team in the evaluation process to include cost analysis, constmction feasibility . (constroctabiliry), considerations relaive to labor and material availability, and effect on the project schedule. This process will begin az the inception of our involvement in the project -when potential . savings are greatest -and will continue throughout the design phase and even into construction. . Mortenson's value engineering efforts on the National Sports Center Project in Blaine, Minnesota were instrumental in that project being completed within the established budget. • Mechanical and Electrical Estimating/Value Engineering -Mortensen has both mechanical and electrical . construction professionals on staff. Throughout the design process, Mortenson's mechanical and electrical specialists will be intensively involved as members of the owner's project team that selects the appropriate systems for the building. We maintain extensive cost infotrnation from comparable projects which enables us to evaluate the relative costs and benefits of alternate systems, including ice systems. Scheduling - Mortensen will develop, in detail, an integrated design and coasttvction CPM schedule ^ reflecting the most effective and economic approach to the project. In collaboration with the owner and the design team, we will build a schedule which identifies all key milestone dates for use in designing and constructing the project. ' During the constmction phase, we will continuously monitor the progress of the work, addressing schedule problems with trade contractors and tttazerial suppliers to correct delays, review manpower and tttaterial availability, and make appropriaze demands upon contractors to maintain sazisfactory progress. 1 1
