Proposal for Construction Manager as Constructor Services Four Winds Renovation and Expansion ― South Bend, Indiana PROJECT APPROACH DEVELOPING A PRE-QUALIFYING PROGRAM FOR FIRST TIER SUBCONTRACTORS Our approach to developing a prequalifying program for this project would begin with ensuring that the contractors bidding on the project are those that value safety as much as the City of South Bend and Larson- Danielson do. We will accomplish this by requiring prospective firms to provide information regarding their worksite safety procedures and records along with records of prequalification with the Indiana Department of Administration - Public Works. In addition, we would propose that all first-tier subcontractors participate in a minimum level of drug screening of their employees, meet financial stability guidelines depending on the size of their contract, and demonstrate that they have the management and craftsperson staffing necessary to meet the quality and schedule requirements of the project. The prequalification process would begin during the design process as we begin to understand in more detail the scope of work. We would proactively engage the local contracting community to get prequalification information submitted for review prior to the bidding process. This serves a secondary benefit to the City of South Bend by giving us an opportunity to cultivate interest in the upcoming project prior to documents being released for bid. Self-Performed Work Larson-Danielson Construction can self-perform concrete, masonry, steel erection, carpentry, and demolition on this project. We are very interested in providing some of these services for this program. We also respect the public bidding process and the value of this process to taxpayers. We affirm that we would comply with Indiana State law regarding the award of any self-performed work. APPROACHING THE CITY/OWNER PROJECT SPECIFIC GOALS E-Verify Affidavit Larson-Danielson Construction affirms that we will meet and/or comply with all the applicable requirements of Indiana Code 5-32-1 – Employment of Construction Managers as Constructors for Projects, as well as applicable state and federal laws. Larson-Danielson Construction currently has active public CMc projects (administered under Indiana Code 5-32) in Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties. Our team is familiar with the processes and requirements necessary for compliance and successful performance on these projects. We affirm that Larson- Danielson Construction utilizes and will continue to utilize the Federal E-Verify program for all employees and will require all subcontractors on this project to do so as well.
