i <br /> Project Management Approach <br /> McGill Associates'construction administration program is experienced and well organized,with a long and successful record of performance. <br /> We have served in the past and are currently serving clients with Construction Phase services on projects designed by other engineering firms, <br /> including the City of Hickory's$20 million Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant.We understand the role and responsibilities of the original <br /> project design engineer,as well as our role during the remaining phases of the project. <br /> Because we have designed numerous similar successful projects in North Carolina over our firm's 27-year history,our design team is fully <br /> capable of quickly value engineering the project, reducing the number of potential change orders and claims during construction. We <br /> understand that our role is not to redesign the project. We also understand that unforeseen conditions can arise during construction and slight <br /> modifications may become necessary. Our design team will respond quickly to those issues reducing the potential for delays in construction. <br /> Other considerations that make the McGill Associates team unique and well qualified for this opportunity are the extensive capabilities of our <br /> in-house staff. The depth and breadth of qualifications we possess internally is extensive. For projects such as this one,two factors that <br /> are critical to project success are the electrical related components and funding/reporting requirements. McGill Associates has experienced <br /> electrical engineering professionals on hand to address any electrical concerns that may arise. We also have a team of funding eligibility and <br /> grant administration experts on staff to ensure that funding and reporting milestones are not missed and requirements are met on time. <br /> The Senior Project Manager we have selected to oversee this project, Doug Chapman, PE,has significant experience with the layout,design, <br /> permitting,biding,construction and operation of wastewater collection and conveyance systems.Mr.Chapman's experience uniquely qualifies <br /> him for this project,and he has been an asset for our clients on similar projects,throughout the analysis,construction and commissioning <br /> phases of their projects. <br /> McGill Associates is excited about the opportunity to work <br /> with Orange County on this project and is prepared to begin <br /> as soon as the contract has been signed and approved by <br /> the Orange County Board of Commissioners. <br /> Based on our current understanding and knowledge of the <br /> project,we anticipate being able to review and certify the <br /> design in 30-60 days of authorization to proceed. <br /> S <br /> F S •- <br /> s# <br /> Confidential and Proprietary I Central Efland/Northern Buckhorn Sewer Extensions-Construction Phase Services,RFQ No.376-5176 0 24 <br />
