PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION CITY OF SOUTH BEND: PINHOOK WTP IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT GUARANTEED SAVINGS CONTRACT DESIGN COORDINATION Working collaboratively, Reynolds will seek opportunities to add value at every phase of the design process. With input from knowledgeable specialty subcontractors and equipment suppliers, we will perform constructability reviews, identify and evaluate Value Engineering suggestions, refine budgets, and make sure the design reflects the most economical solution for each facet of the project (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, controls). We appreciate the benefits that the GSC design-build model has over conventional design-bid-build and will capitalize on those advantages. By eliminating the need for fully developed bid documents, our efforts will accelerate the start of construction and reduce costs. More importantly, the collaborative design process will greatly improve the design results - streamlining and shortening the construction effort. DESIGNPROGRESSION Our experience has shown that a phased design approach is the most effective way to ensure that project goals are efficiently achieved. As the design progresses, and more detailed information is created, the City of South Bend will be provided an opportunity to evaluate options (ie – layout, access, redundancy, etc.) and make selections. These options will also be analyzed by our team, including specialty subcontractors, for the effect they have on the overall cost and schedule. This collaborative approach ensures that all stakeholders have a “voice” in the design, endorse the approach, and enable the design to progress without rework. As the design evolves through the 10, 30, 60 and 100 percent gates, the accuracy of the budget and timeline for completion will continue to improve. Once we achieve approximately the 60% design stage, we will be able to provide the City with a Guaranteed Maximum Price for the project. A typical scenario for design-build evolution is: PHASE 1 DESIGN: Design =10% complete; P&ID’s, GA drawings, PFD’s, One-line diagrams Level 1 schedule PHASE 2 DESIGN: Design = 30% complete; Layout drawings, equipment lists, schematics, civil drawings – 60% Level 2 overall schedule plus Level 3 for civil scope PHASE 3 DESIGN: Design = 60% complete; Civil drawings – 100%, structural, mechanical drawings – 60%, electrical drawings – 40% complete Level 4 for civil scope plus Level 3 for mechanical and structural and Level 2 for electrical. GMP is produced. PHASE 4 DESIGN: Design = 100% complete; All drawings IFC Level 4 schedule for all scope MANAGING THE SCOPE Reynolds will use an Excel spreadsheet to track the budget, purchases, and subcontracts for the project. This Purchasing Register (see below) breaks down the scope into defined components in a format called a “Work Breakdown Structure” (WBS). The WBS is used consistently for estimating, cost tracking, and within the CPM project schedule. This enables us to track where we are buying materials, who is completing each task, and when it will be done. South Bend management will always have access to this information as part of our transparent, Open-Book approach. Page | 36
