AEREOEnergy Solutions <br />G G r�m For Every Need <br />Project Management Approach I High Quality Implementation <br />Ameresco provides quality projects for our customers while minimizing the effort required by the building owners and <br />occupants. We achieve this goal through ownership of the entire process from auditing to development to construction to <br />commissioning and savings verification. Ameresco Project Managers are professionals with decades of experience with <br />on -site management of energy projects. Engineering and Construction teams will seamlessly work together with South <br />Bend to minimize disruption to facility operations. Following the commissioning, Ameresco will provide training to facility <br />operators. An overview of the project process is noted below. <br />Final Design & Pre -Construction <br />Engineering <br />Design documents and <br />Implementation Schedule <br />specifications development <br />Site -Specific Review <br />Equipment selection <br />Client Construction <br />- Submittals, construction <br />Requirements/Guidelines <br />schedule, and customer <br />= Project Schedule <br />approval <br />= Construction Drawings <br />Construction Period <br />Site Mobilization <br />Onsite Progress Meetings <br />Weekly Quality Checks <br />Updated Schedule <br />Invoice Review/Approval <br />South Bend and Ameresco <br />Commissioning Plan & Report <br />Site Personnel training <br />Optional operations and <br />maintenance services <br />Measurement and verification <br />Construction Coordination Collaboration and Communication with South Bend <br />Ameresco is responsible for all aspects of energy performance projects; South Bend will have one point of contact for all <br />construction, a senior Ameresco project manager who will coordinate all activities. We will cooperatively plan <br />implementation with South Bend Department of Public Works to ensure the needs and workflow of the WTP perform as <br />needed. The on -site construction <br />manager will manage site logistics, truck Project Management Communication <br />delivery routing, subcontractor progress <br />and management, and communication <br />with South Bend staff and stakeholders <br />and project engineers throughout <br />construction to ensure seamless project <br />delivery. Client determined meetings will <br />be a review of actual progress versus <br />anticipated progress as indicated on <br />project schedules, milestone <br />achievements, site -specific issues and <br />resolutions, critical path analysis, and <br />most importantly customer input. <br />Risk Mitigation Strategies I <br />Project Manager daily contact: <br />• Own e r key staff <br />Subcontractor check- in <br />Project Manager weekly contact: <br />• Owner key staff meeting: project <br />status & look ahead logistical. planning <br />• Subcontractor meeting: projectstatus <br />& lcokahead planning <br />Project Manager weekly schedule: <br />Ownerstaff receive schedule with key " <br />milestones and major activities <br />consolidated schedule <br />• Subcontract schedule: milestones to <br />be met <br />Ameresco's projects are specifically <br />designed to mitigate client risk.
