PROJECT APPROACH <br />APPROACH TO CITY/OWNER PROJECT SPECIFIC GOALS <br />At Larson -Danielson, we are committed to meeting the City's goals <br />with transparency, expertise, and accountability. We ensure <br />compliance with all legal standards, including E-Verify, and maintain a <br />fair bidding process that guarantees competitive pricing while <br />protecting public integrity. Our proven scheduling strategies ensure <br />efficient procurement, phased permitting, and on -time delivery. <br />Backed by a century of experience, strong leadership, and family - <br />owned values, we focus on quality, value, and lasting community <br />impact. <br />■ E-Verify Affidavit: <br />We affirm that Larson -Danielson Construction utilizes and will <br />continue to utilize the Federal E-Verify program for all <br />employees and will require all subcontractors on this project <br />to do so as well. <br />■ Fair Bidding Process: <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />VENUES PARKS &ARTS <br />We are going to take the best approach for the City and are committed to obtaining <br />competitive bids. On the Four Winds project we discovered the market challenges in South <br />Bend and bid packaging strategies that work and don't work to engage local trade <br />contractors. We have successfully contracted with local contractors including Ziolkowski, <br />Gibson -Lewis and others, and we look to maintain their participation because it's best for the <br />City. <br />■ Sustainability: <br />At Larson -Danielson, sustainability means more than building <br />green, it's about creating facilities that last. For Kennedy Park, <br />our focus will be on working with the Architect to recommend <br />durable materials and efficient systems that reduce <br />maintenance needs, minimize energy consumption, and <br />extend the life of the facility. <br />By engaging early in the design phase, we will work closely <br />with the South Bend Venues Parks & Arts team to set clear <br />sustainability goals and evaluate long-term solutions. Our <br />approach balances upfront costs with lifecycle savings, by <br />utiliing a detailed cost -benefit analysis of each sustainbility related element of the project. <br />During construction, we will monitor quality and performance to confirm that sustainable <br />objectives are met. From material selection to system commissioning, our goal is to deliver a <br />facility that is efficient, resilient, and cost-effective for the City of South Bend and the <br />community it serves. <br />10 Proposal for Construction Manager as Constructor Services Page 16 of 30 <br />Kennedy Park — South Bend, Indiana <br />
