Project Approach CRG will work with design consultants throughout the design stage and bidding process to secure an efficient and collaborative design. CRG uses Building Connected as its primary bidding software. This program affords the best opportunity for outreach to both local subcontractors and MBE and WBE certified contractors. Building Connected allows CRG to search for contractors in South Bend and the surrounding area and send bid invites to them. CRG has over 8 years of experience working with South Bend -Mishawaka -Granger subcontractors and will lean on these relationships for this project. CRG has a standardized pre -qualification folder that every subcontractor is required to fill out. This form asks for project history, insurance capabilities, bonding capacity, safety record and references among other items. As a CM for the project CRG will ensure that all subcontractors comply with the E- Verify requirements. CRG will manage the bidding process through Building Connected which allows for confidential submission of bids only viewable by CRG. It also produces a report of good -faith efforts in outreach to local, MBE and WBE certified contractors. CRG will not self -perform any of the work associated with this RFP. The team at CRG has over 30 years of experience in building structured parking and the best practices to ensure that those structures are built in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. CRG will bring this wealth of knowledge to the design process and assist the design team in making cost-effective and sustainable choices. CRG proposes to deliver the project using a cost-plus with Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract. The benefits of this delivery method are cost certainty and budget protection to the City/Owner, which allows for better predictability and appropriate sharing of risk. CRG will work closely with the City/Owner to carefully review the design of the project to ensure an accurate, fair, and achievable budget is created to establish the GMP. Once design is complete, CRG anticipates the time required to collect formal bids from subcontractors and to establish the GMP is 4S days. Concurrently with this process, CRG will work with the City/Owner to negotiate the GMP contract. CRG anticipates this process can be completed in 30 days. As part of CRG's commitment to clear communication and reporting, it will provide monthly progress updates and will work with the City/Owner to understand its expectations as to format and content. Internally, CRG leverages best -in -class technology tools, such as Procore, for all daily reporting, contract commitments, billings and change order tracking. CRG will have monthly Owner -Architect - Contractor meetings that includes status updates, project reporting, and schedule updates. ■ RESIDENTIAL
