On May 22, 2018, staff posted a Request for Proposal {RFP) on the city's website for the
solicitation of construction management and inspection consulting services for the Project. On
June 20, 2018, six consultant proposals were received and copies were distributed to a
selection committee, comprised of staff from the Police and Public Works Departments.
Proposal responses were evaluated pursuant to Municipal Code section 3.28.060{A), and each
committee member was required to sign a confidentiality agreement to ensure the fairness of

and submission requirements, (2) depth of firm qualifications and experience, (3) depth of

consultant proposals. These evaluations were then tabulated and ranked. The top two firms
were invited to an interview on July 16, 2018. Police and Public Works Department

contract with. Staff recommends the award of an Agreement for construction management and

roads to document and clearly depict pre-existing conditions. Prepare additional videotape
and/or photographs to document site conditions as required to supplement the Contractor's
videotape.
Take and share construction documentation photographs on a regular basis. Maintain a digital
photographic library of all significant construction activities available for review on at least a
weekly basis via project management software. Provide unique file names for photos with date
and location information included. Take additional photographs to document differing site
conditions, change order and claim items, and any special or unique conditions as they arise.

Review of the Contractor's construction schedule and monthly updates shall be the sole
responsibility of the CM with input provided from the architect and City.
CM will log, track, and monitor the bridging document architect, and design build architect's role
regarding the review of shop drawings, calculations, data samples, submittals, warranties and
manuals from the Contractor. Shop drawings and submittals which significantly do not satisfy
the project criterion shall be returned to the Contractor with comments for corrections and
resubmittal. Exception reports, that identify outstanding submittals or reviews needed, shall be
prepared periodically by the CM. Preliminary lists of initial submittal requirements shall be
prepared by the CM and issued at the Preconstruction Conference.
TASK 2.6 Plans and Specifications Interpretation
The CM shall review and respond to Contractor RFls if of a general nature. Technical RFls shall

responsible for code compliance. Provide full time inspection to ensure that the Contractor's
work is compliant with the bridging document project criterion. Prepare daily reports of the
construction activities including weather conditions, Contractor's equipment and manpower,
work performed, materials used, site visitors, delays in work and reasons for the delays, and
deficiencies. Prepare daily reports of deviations and non-conformance to bridging document
project criterion and provide a timely response.
Coordinate and supervise, under subcontract, all special inspections at the job site as required
of materials and workmanship, and discuss with the Contractor appropriate revisions to the
methods and procedures used in performing the work. The special inspectors may not authorize
extra work or approve of work that deviates from the bridging document project criterion.
11 of 22 August 28, 2018 Item #5 Page 16 of 28
PSA 19-502TRAN
CM will inspect materials as they arrive on site and verify that all materials and equipment meet
project criteria requirements and are properly stored. The CM will inspect the site daily,
including any site SWPPP measures, manage special inspectors, and coordinate with any
geotechnical and material testing consultants, coordinate with any FF&E vendors and be
responsible for the overall quality assurance of the project.
TASK 2.8 Progress Payments
Review project-related invoices and progress payments. Submit all invoices to the City's
Municipal Projects Manager with a recommendation stating the proper amount for payment.
Use the Schedule of Values and actual quantities as a basis to prepare payment requests. The
City will provide a format for monthly progress payments based on the Bid Schedule in the
contract.
TASK 2.9 Contractor's Claims and Change Orders
In accordance with the City's Standard Public Works Contract and Supplemental Provisions,
identify, prepare, log, and monitor all Contractor or City initiated claims, changes, extra work,
and change orders. Assist the City's Municipal Projects Manager by working to negotiate all
claims to an agreed Contractor/CM/City conclusion. Submit resultant change orders to the City
for approval. Prepare a report providing statement of claim, extra work, or change; background
leading to issue; resolution alternatives; and resolution recommendation for action by the City.
Prepare written justification and independent cost estimates for each change order after
negotiating costs with the Contractor. Prepare claims, extra work, and change orders that
require design criteria modifications or clarifications, including revisions to the drawings, details,
and specifications.
Provide the lead role and support to the City in resolving claims and disputes. This shall include:
written responses to Contractors and private parties, giving depositions, assisting with
arbitration and litigation, serving as an expert witness, investigating claims for damages by
private sources, design services for replacement of damaged work, and services made
necessary by Contractor default.
TASK 3: Project Closeout
Prepare detailed project punch lists at closeout of the project. Upon correction of deficiencies,
schedule, coordinate, and conduct a final walk-through prior to the acceptance of work with the
City. Verify work, testing, cleanup and demobilization is complete. Two working days after final
walk-through, check and submit final payment requests. Review and certify that the Contractor's
project record drawings and operation/maintenance manuals are complete and accurate.

the completion of the design, coordinating with the various impacted departments, and working closely with the
Design Build Contractor to develop a detailed and comprehensive phasing plan for implementation. It is also
during this time that we would he perfonning a constructability review, as evaluating what long lead items might
need to be prepurchased.
Construction: For this phase of the prqject, we anticipate allocating a full time commitment for Consh·uction
l\fanagement as described in Addendum O 1 of the RFP. During this time the Consh,.tction Manager will oversee
all aspects of the work, coordinate with all departments, and prmide all the services described in the RFP. For
this phase of work we have allocated 1640 hours.
Project Closeout: For this phase of service, we are anhnpating a 1 month closeout period where the
Conshuction Manager will oversee all aspect of completing the prqject. For this phase we have allocated I GO
hours of time.
Project Executive: In an effort to bring support to the te;un, and provide insight from other prqjects of similar
nature and complexity, we haw also included an allocation of hours for our Prqject ExecutiYe to oversee the
prqject for it's entire duration. This will bring a level of support and extended resources to the Constrnction
:Manager to insure the City receives the highest level of service. For this level of support we have included 210
hours.
Special Inspections and Testing: This scope of service is included as an ALLO\,V ANCE. Given the scope of
this prqject, we anticipate the Special Inspections and Testing scope of services lo be relatively modest. That is
based on the current assumption that the existing building does not require seismic retrofit, but rather sporadic
inspections of modest structural modifications. \~'e also assume that the exterior work listed as an Alternate is
not included in the prqject. Of course, as the prqject evolves, and the scope of work becomes more focused,
we will work closely with the City to produce a more detailed estimate of services to bring the best value to the
City.
