PROD ECT APPROACH SCHEDULE CONTROL As we move forward in the preconstruction process, we will use our vast experience and historical subcontractor partnerships to build the formal project schedule. RYC uses Microsoft Project software to build the Critical Path Method (CPM) master project schedule and track projected timelines. This will take place once the bidding is complete and the project budget and phasing are finalized. Additionally, once awarded the project, RYC will work to identify any longer lead items that may present a scheduling challenge, and the team will explore alternatives if possible. Otherwise, we will notify all subcontractors of the importance of ordering these items immediately upon being contracted. Should any unforeseen schedule delays arise during construction, RYC will engage in full reviews with trade subcontractors to assess cost and schedule impacts. The team will offer alternate solutions and design suggestions when necessary. For example, in one project where natural gas services were delayed, RYC worked with subcontractors to temporarily switch heating systems to propane to keep the schedule on track. PROJECT BIDDING AND SUBCONTRACTOR EVALUATION Once design is complete, bid packages will be issued to multiple subcontractors within each scope of work to ensure a competitive bidding process. While the CMc statute now permits a Construction Manager to self -perform up to 30% of the total project value, RYC will not advertise our interest in self -performing work to other potential bidders. Our experience has shown that when subcontractors believe a CM is competing for self -performed work, participation is discouraged and competition within those scopes is reduced. During bid reviews, RYC will conduct thorough due diligence on each prospective subcontractor, including contacting past project references, confirming financial capacity through review of the prior year's Profit and Loss statement, verifying that their EMR is below 1.0, and ensuring adequate manpower is available to successfully complete the scope of work. Once the bidding process is complete, RYC's executive and project management teams will review the project together to identify potential issues, address design challenges, and propose cost -control solutions as needed. This collaborative approach to bid review leverages the full depth of RYC's expertise and ensures that every perspective is considered before moving forward. KENNEDY PARK RENOVATION + 14
