PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION CITY OF SOUTH BEND: PINHOOK WTP IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT GUARANTEED SAVINGS CONTRACT Reynolds is both a Qualified GSC Provider and a revered water/wastewater contractor known for self-performing the construction of our projects. To maximize the value for the City of South Bend, we will be completing 100% of the Provider requirements and self-performing the majority of the construction including the work as agreed upon during the scoping period. Historically, these scopes represent 70 to 80 percent of the total project construction cost and control 90% of the schedule’s critical path. Reynolds has the supervision, manpower, equipment, and knowledge to self-perform these disciplines. We take pride in those skills and believe it important that we maintain control of the critical path of the project throughout. However, we also believe in partnering with other local contractors and we will actively pursue quotes for scope that we typically self-perform if it will provide a higher value for the City. SUBCONTRACTOR INVOLEMENT 4.D Other Subcontractor’s Involvement: Identify which portions of the project the Provider intends to implement with subcontractors and how the subcontractors will interact with the Team. Reynolds Construction will be the self-performing General Contractor for the project. Our focus will be to secure all subcontracted work with local contractors keeping as much of the project funds as possible in South Bend. This approach helps to maintain and create jobs and allocates project funds back into the local community. Our team will work with the utility dept team to understand which subcontractors have not only performed work for the dept but have performed quality to a satisfactory level. Also, our typical approach is to prepare bid documents for work we do not self-perform and bid this work to a minimum of 3 bidders. All bid results are open to the owner for review. The only work Reynolds does not self-perform is electrical, I&C, and specialties such as masonry/ painting and HVAC. All subcontractors will be contracted directly with Reynolds and we take the responsibility for managing our subcontractors very seriously. If they are not successful, we are not successful. Our approach to managing subcontractors: We will include them in our weekly progress meetings, daily huddles, and end-of-shift meetings. We will expect them to actively participate in all meetings We will ensure that they have right supervisors to manage their scope of work We will assist them to plan and perform their work SAFELY We will include their activities in the Project Schedule and make sure they complete their work on time We will ensure they adhere to the quality requirements of the project During commissioning, startup, and closeout we will coordinate with our subcontractors to finish strong and drive the project to a timely completion Page | 41
