DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E136D1 -507C- 4219- BF16- 446F8D2192F8 Orange County Detention Facility, Environment & Agriculture Center & Park Operations Base Request for Qualifications (RFQ #5249) •: r PROJECT APPROACH 1. PROJECT PLANNING The Estimator generates, maintains and updates a log of all "best cost solution" recommendations and assigns a value to each idea. The Value Engineering Log contains "Accepted" "Not Accepted "and "Under Review" categories. All "best cost solution" recommendations will be submitted to allow adequate time for such recommendations to be studied, evaluated and, if deemed worthy, incorporated into the design. We include "Accepted" items in the contract documents, discard the "Not Accepted" items, and place "Under Review" items as potential bid alternates until a final decision is made. The owner will have the final authority on the acceptance, rejection or required action date of all Value Engineering or "best cost solution" recommendations. Our team provides continuous constructability analysis, document review, and estimate updates whenever significant changes occur in the project after the schematic design estimate. We track all changes throughout the preconstruction process with the Value Engineering Log. Between estimates, Value Engineering changes are tracked with the Trend Log. We use these standard logs and detailed price sheets to track estimate details and item costs. (2) Constructability Issues The Project Team's overall goal is to produce an architecturally Interdisciplinary Constructability Review: pleasing, fully functional facility that is easy to maintain and operate. Bordeaux's team reviews the design documentation A for clarity, completeness, constructability and coordination. This Clarity and Completeness analysis ensures the drawings are complete and coordinated Y g p Identify ambiguities, inconsisten3es, and missing among disciplines, that construction details are workable, and that design detai Is the building systems are the best for this project.

Each review is tailored to the stage of the design, or the level of document completeness. Each member of the team thoroughly reviews all building components, from site elements to structural systems, exterior enclosures, interiors, and Mechanical /Electrical /Plumbing (MEP) systems. Each member of the team performs an independent review, after which the team gathers to discuss their findings and develop a comprehensive list of comments to feed back to the design professionals. All topics identified in this process are marked up on a set of drawings using Bluebeam Studio software, which are submitted as part of the formal estimate. The Constructability Review document offers a visual representation of request for clarification, along with our proposed recommendation to resolve the question. This provides the design team with potential solutions based on the expertise and experience of our construction team. The entire Project Team can then discuss various options at the next preconstruction meeting and develop the most appropriate solution to benefit the project. The Constructability Review document is updated at each estimate based on the revised status of the contract documents.The Project Manager and Estimator review the current Constructability Review document at each preconstruction meeting to track the status and ensure each matter is resolved in a timely manner.This information is maintained and reported to the A/E and the Owner throughout the preconstruction phase up to the point where the design is deemed "complete" Bluebeam Studio provides common access to document reviews during the preconstruction phase of a project. During construction, we provide a central set of linked construction drawings incorporating potential changes such as Requests for Information and field clarifications. Hyperlinks make each detail easily searchable for the entire team. The benefit to you is immediate access to the most current project data available at all times. (3) Cost Estimating and Budget Management Our Estimating Manager is responsible for the primary deliverables Bordeaux will provide for the project throughout the Preconstruction Phase. During the Kick -Off meeting, the team will confirm the frequency of the estimates we oil
