DocuSign Envelope ID: 04E136D1 -507C- 4219- BF16- 446F8D2192F8 Orange County Detention Facility, Environment & Agriculture Center & Park Operations Base Request for Qualifications (RFQ #5249) •: r QUESTIONNAIRE 5. Explain the firm's procedures for document quality control and coordination of the various trades in the review of design documents and specifications. Also, explain the some coordination of trades in the GMP Development and Construction Phase. Bordeaux Construction will utilize Procore, a centralized on -line communication portal. Procore allows instant access to the most current project data to all project team members including architect, engineer, client, and subcontractor. A full list of our procedures and deliverables are included in the Preconstruction Phase Services section of the proposal. Please refer to the "Document Tracking & Reporting" section in the Project Approach for more details. A few highlights of these include: Value Analysis: Provide information for the project team to make informed decisions of the Best Value for Performance, cost (both Initial Cost and Life Cycle Cost), quality, maintenance, and schedule. Value Analysis recommendations are tracked through the development of the design documents through our Value Analysis Log Interdisciplinary Constructability Review: Incorporate input from the Project Manager, Project Superintendent, Mechanical /Electrical /Plumbing (MEP) estimator, Virtual Construction Manager, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) reviews to provide a comprehensive constructability review beginning in the design phase and through GMP development. Each item developed during the constructability review process is tracked in a Constructability Review Log. Request for Information (RFI) and Shop Drawings: All project documents are kept in our secure server in Procore. Access privileges are user specific and information can be filtered to an executive summary level down to the detail of which documents are outstanding. "Live Set" Drawings: By utilizing Procore for hosting all project documents we maintain a set of contract documents with up to date modifications, clarifications, and revisions that all stakeholders in the project can use. This eliminates the waste and inefficiency from trades not working from the most current set of documents. Effectively, this allows all trades to work from the as -built set. 6. Describe procedures you use to review and consider product substitutions. During preconstruction, various product substitutions are considered as part of our Value Analysis process. During this process, we investigate and suggest viable design and product substitutions. We look not only at initial cost, but life cycle cost, quality, maintenance, and schedule. During the bidding stage, we develop procedures for suppliers, vendors, and subcontractors to submit substitution requests. These procedures have specific requirements including a point by point comparison with the specification to ensure that quality is maintained and a specific cutoff date that ensures the designer will have adequate time to review and assess the substitution request. During construction, substitution requests are only allowed in unique instances such as where a significant cost or savings may be available to the client. They are not allowed for convenience. 7. Describe how the team would provide cost management services on this project using the CM at Risk delivery method. How would you reconcile differences between your cost estimates and those prepared by the Design Team? Provide the cost model format used on one of your four similar completed projects listed in your response. Our cost management services are detailed in the Cost Estimating and Budget Management of our Project Approach. We utilize onscreen takeoff so that team members can visually see quantity take off. We prepare an estimate presentation at project milestones which include Schematic (SD), Design Development (DD), and Construction Drawings (CD). Our budget reconciliation process is detailed in the Budget Reconciliation section of our proposal and usually involves a meeting with the owner, architect, and potentially outside consultants and cost estimators to review items within the trend log and estimate presentation. 011
