BOWEN PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION 4a) Provider's Involvement: Per IC 36-1-12.5-3 the Provider must perform at least 20% of the contract value with its own workforce. Please define how you will meet or exceed this requirement on a percentage basis relative to the work to be completed by your own workforce. As a Provider, Bowen will self -perform 100% of the Provider responsibilities. As a General Contractor, the work that we perform with our own work force averages 80% or more on the past 100 GSC projects provided by Bowen. As a provider, construction manager, and contractor, Bowen greatly exceeds the 20% requirement. The project scope will be comprised of dewatering, site civil/concrete, piping, and process equipment setting. These are all areas we self -perform with our own labor; we feel the percent self -perform on this project exceeds 80%. In addition to Bowen's ability to staff your project, we also have the capability to provide Bowen owned equipment for your project. We take pride in the fact that we own a large portion of equipment you would potentially see on this project. Having a large equipment fleet has always been in the company plan of Bowen since Bob Bowen bought the first crane back in 1971. Our ability to utilize our own equipment will result in lower project costs compared to rentals or other provider's internal equipment costs. Choosing a provider that has the largest Indiana -based equipment fleet will benefit your project. 4b) Project Management: Describe how the project would be managed by the Provider. Describe method and means of communication plan for the City. Provide project management documentation on past projects completed by the Provider. Project Management drives production efficiency and project quality. Bowen utilizes its Lean Construction SQP approach which stands for Safety, Quality, and Production. During implementation, Bowen's Project Manager (Pat Stanford) will be South Bend's single point of contact. He will be in charge of the schedule and will partner with American Structurepoint and Arcadis to lay out a unified communication plan and schedule for the team. Communication will be handled through regular construction meetings to update South Bend team members on the progress of construction. Records of the meeting minutes will be distributed along with action items, responsible persons, and due dates at every meeting. Bowen is committed to never walking away from a problem, and we believe savings loss constitutes a problem that is our responsibility to solve. As such, we've created a rigorous model for our process flows with the goal of preemptively eliminating opportunities for error. Our pre -planning and 4 week look ahead boards will intercept problems early, and will allow the team to mitigate the challenge. From daily huddles where we share safety and quality concerns down to the end of shift meeting, Bowen processes are detailed, rigorous, and built for success. These standards are why our customers keep coming back for more. Bowen has the demonstrated experience to complete both small and large projects on time and on budget. Since 2011, Bowen has received multiple ACEC and IWEA awards with our GSC customers. Recognition for projects of this magnitude is a result of our diligent efforts, careful planning, and skilled execution.
