AMERESCO Energy Solutions <br />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 & <br />Engineering <br />Design documents and <br />specifications development <br />Equipment selection <br />Submittals, construction <br />schedule, and customer <br />approval <br />Pre -Construction Construction Period <br />Implementation Schedule <br />Site Mobilization <br />Site -Specific Review <br />Onsite Progress Meetings <br />Client Construction <br />Weekly Quality Checks <br />Requirements/Guidelines <br />Updated Schedule <br />Project Schedule <br />Invoice Review/Approval <br />Construction Drawings <br />South Bend and Ameresco <br />Performance Period <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 Fire Station and <br />MLK Dream Center perform as needed. The on -site construction manager will manage site logistics, truck delivery routing, <br />subcontractor progress and management, and communication with South Bend staff and stakeholders and project <br />engineers throughout construction to <br />ensure seamless project delivery. Client <br />determined meetings will be a review of <br />actual progress versus anticipated progress <br />as indicated on project schedules, <br />milestone achievements, site -specific <br />issues and resolutions, critical path <br />analysis, and most importantly customer <br />input. <br />Risk Mitigation Strategies I <br />Ameresco's projects are specifically <br />designed to mitigate client risk. In fact, with <br />established performance assurances <br />backed by long-term financial solvency and <br />longevity and turnkey project pricing, <br />clients are inherently sheltered from the <br />Project Management Communication <br />Weekly Project Schedule <br />Project Manager daily contact: <br />• Ownerkeystaff <br />• Subcontractor check -in <br />Project Manager weekly contact: <br />Owner key staff meeting: project <br />status & look ahead logistical planning <br />• Subcontractor meeting: project status <br />& look ahead planning <br />Project Manager weekly schedule: <br />• Owner staff receive schedule with key <br />milestones and major activities <br />consolidated schedule <br />• Subcontract schedule: milestones to <br />be met <br />risks that are often associated with capital improvement projects.
