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 12. Describe your team's commitment to the success of this project and why you believe your assembled team is the best choice for this project. First and foremost, the Bordeaux Team proposed for the project are Jail experts. We will utilize this knowledge to ultimately save Orange County money. The Bordeaux Team is uniquely and best qualified for the Orange County project for the following reasons: Local participation: We understand that this is a large municipal project for Orange County. We are local to the project and are committed to ensuring that contracts are awarded with the goal of maximizing local Orange County participation. Local superintendent: Project Superintendent, Kevin Sowter, lives in Wake Forest and has greatjail construction experience including Orange County Justice Center. Kevin understands the importance of the success of the project means to the Orange County. This project will be personal. Jail Experience: Jail Construction is a very unique niche of construction and frankly, we are good at it. We have built over 25 Jails over the past 20 years. Bordeaux Construction was the Construction Manager on Bladen County Detention with Moseley Architects, which is an extremely similar sized facility to the proposed Orange County Detention Center. Project Manager, Blair Bordeaux, will be able to use actual bid results, bid manual documents, project schedule, and most importantly "lessons learned "to avoid mistakes. Our experience at Bladen Detention will save Orange County money. Experience with Moseley Architects: We have completed (5) Detention and Law Enforcement Center projects with Moseley Architects. In addition, we were brought on to complete the Stanly County Detention Center project with Moseley Architects when that contractor faltered. Bordeaux Construction recently completed the $21 M Brooks Elementary for Wake County Schools (CMAR) and the $20M Bladen County Detention project (CMAR) with Moseley Architects. We have a great working relationship with Moseley and would step in ready to go on day one. 13. Describe your value engineering process. We like to use the term Value Analysis over Value Engineering. Value Engineering is cutting cost after the design is complete. Our Value Analysis process ensures that costs are tracked through the design process and into the development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). Further detail of this process is provided in the Value Analysis section of our Project Approach. The Value Analysis Section in the Project Approach of our proposal provides further detail. 14. Describe how responsibilities as a CM at Risk differ from responsibilities as a General Contractor. The primary difference between responsibilities as a Construction Manager at Risk and a General Contractor is that as a Construction Manager, Bordeaux Construction will serve as an extension of the Orange County Staff. We understand our responsibility as fiduciary to Orange County and all bid processes are open book. In addition to being an extension of Orange County staff, the Bordeaux Construction Team will provide added value over a general contractor by providing a better guarantee of quality. The general contractor experiences a potential conflict of interest by bending the rules on quality to increase profit. As your Construction Manager, Bordeaux Construction will advocate that the quality control expectations are defined up front, and contract requirements are met. Schedule will be defined during the preconstruction phase of the project and incorporated into bid packages. As your Construction Manager, Bordeaux Construction will work with Orange County to develop the schedule in the preconstruction phase of the project and ensure that permitting, design, and construction milestones are met. Local and minority participation will be maximized. The GC looks only at cost. As your Construction Manager, ON
