DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E136D1 -507C- 4219- BF16- 446F8D2192F8 Orange County Detention Facility, Environment & Agriculture Center & Park Operations Base Request for Qualifications (RFQ #5249) •: r EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bordeaux Strategic Vision Bordeaux Construction was founded in Durham, North Carolina in 1978 by Joseph T. Bordeaux, Sr. with a simple goal of providing quality construction services to public municipal clients. While the construction industryand complexityof projects have changed significantly since then, Bordeaux Construction still maintains the same consistent goal of being a valuable resource to local, state, and federal public clients. A satellite office in Wilmington, North Carolina was founded in 2014 to further solidify the Bordeaux Construction presence across North Carolina. In 2016, our headquarters were relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina to better focus on Construction Manager at Risk delivery. Our vision is to leverage our qualification based experience in North Carolina to benefit the municipal clients that we serve. Our Experienced Project Team Our proposed Project Manager, Blair Bordeaux, will be the overall project team leader from the inception through final completion. Blair has an impressive background in both Correctional projects in North Carolina and experience building in Orange County. Blair's notable accomplishments are augmented by the comprehensive knowledge of Kevin Sowter, proposed Project Superintendent. Blair has completed several successfuljail projects including Chatham County Detention Center, Bladen County Detention Center and the Chatham Youth Detention Center. Kevin successfully completed the Orange County Justice Expansion project and is currently working on the UNC Kenan Laboratory Renovations; a complex mechanical systems project in Chapel Hill. Blair and Kevin are complemented with highly qualified support staff including Preconstruction Manager/ Estimator,John Witcher, and Virtual Construction and Building Systems Group Manager, Matt Miller. The combined project team is a unique blend of strengths that will provide value to Orange County in the construction of the proposed new Detention Facility, Environment & Agriculture & Park Operations Base project. Please see Key Personnel for resumes and a combined organizational chart for the proposed project team. Local and Minority Participation We understand the financial impact a project of this magnitude will have on Orange County. As the Construction Manager on the new Detention Center, we will serve as your agent to: (1) hold local outreach sessions to generate subcontractor trade interest and educate those trades on the CM at Risk bidding process, (2) develop bid packages with the goal of breaking work elements down into scopes that are suited to allow local and minority firms to fairly compete for work on the project, and (3) leverage almost four decades of relationships with subcontractors and vendors to provide the best pricing for the Orange County project. Bordeaux Construction is committed to providing all employees with a living wage as outlined by Orange County. We believe our employees are our greatest asset and will work with all subcontractors to ensure they are pursuing the same goal. In fact, we are proud that 100% of Bordeaux Construction employees rates of pay exceed the Orange County living wage. We are prepared to advocate and implement alongside Orange County for the Orange County Detention Facility and EAC project. Bordeaux will maximize HUB participation through the community outreach sessions and subcontractor prequalification during the preconstruction phase. Our experience working in Orange Countyforthe last 20 +years will allow us to maximize the participation of Orange County firms. Experience with CM at Risk Work Bordeaux Construction has extensive experience with CMAR projects and even more importantly with client's first experience with Construction Manager at Risk as a delivery method. Granville County, Brunswick County Public Schools, Brunswick County and Bladen County have all selected Bordeaux for their first project utilizing the CM at Risk Delivery method. From the first Project Kick -off Meeting, Bordeaux will take the lead with the new project team (owner, County staff, design team, construction manager), in order to develop models for each of the most critical aspects of the project: cost and schedule. One of the most valuable services that we will provide is to educate and walk Orange County staff that may not be familiar with Construction Management at Risk delivery through the process. Committed to Your Success Serving as both the Project Manager and Project Executive, Blair Bordeaux, is the senior executive with the authority to act on behalf of Bordeaux Construction in all matters. Blair has over 14 years of experience including seven public CMAR projects totaling over $100M in revenue and seven Correctional projects in North Carolina. Our commitment to the success of the Orange County Detention Facility, Environment & Agriculture Center & Park Operations Base project puts our depth of resources at your disposal.
