Bemardino is soliciting proposals from qualified firms to provide construction management services
for the Federal Economic Development Agency Grant project located on North Cajon Boulevard in

construction cost is $1 to $1.3 million and the contract documents provide for 90 working days.
RBF will perform comprehensive construction management services throughout the entirety of the

PROPOSAL FOR
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE
NORTH CAJON BOULEVARD - STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
SECTION 1 - UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
It is RBF's understanding that the City of San
Bernardino is soliciting proposals from
qualified firms to provide construction
management services for the Federal
Economic Development Agency Grant
project located on North Cajon Boulevard in
the City of San Bernardino. In preparing this
proposal we have reviewed the RFP,
Addendum 1, plans, and specifications;
visited the project site; and discussed the
project with Department Staff.
The project encompasses approximately
5,900 LF of North Cajon Boulevard, South of
Glen Helen Parkway to North of Kendall
Drive. Street widening and roadway
improvements include: sawcutting;
demolition; removal of existing roadway;
earthwork excavation, grading and sub-grade
preparation; cold plane and overlay of
existing asphalt; placement of new asphalt;
drainage improvements; RCP storm drain
installation; PCC curb, gutter, and sidewalks; relocation of existing underground
service utilities; installation of street lighting and associated appurtenances;
adjustment of existing valve covers and manholes to grade; removal and
replacement of existing striping and pavement markings with thermoplastic and
RPMs; and signage. The project is federally funded through an EDA Grant and
construction is anticipated to start on March 15, 2010. The estimate of probable
construction cost is $1 to $1.3 million and the contract documents provide for 90
working days.
RBF will perform comprehensive construction management services throughout
the entirety of the project and will report directly to the City Engineer and/or his
representative. RBF will maintain a close liaison with the City Engineer, the
Design Team, and other Project Team Members. Specific duties will include:
bid opening attendance, bid tabulation, bid evaluation, bid recommendation,
project plan development, contract administration, construction management,
project coordination, coordination of review and approval of submittals by
Design Engineer, contractor supervision, budget and schedule monitoring, utility
coordination, survey and material testing coordination, project form and monthly
report preparation / documentation, EDA funding facilitating, weekly progress
meeting conducting, progress payment and change order processing, certified
payroll processing, walk thru conducting, punch list preparation, and final report
preparation.
RBF will schedule construction inspection through the City of San Bernardino
and City Inspectors will be utilized for construction inspection. RBF has
extensive street improvement, engineering, and construction management
experience. RBF is uniquely familiar with the City, City Staff, and the Cajon
Boulevard project site as we are currently providing construction management
and inspection services on three projects located in the same area of the City:
the Palm Pumping Station, the Magnolia Booster Station, and the Palm
Connector 24" Transmission Main.

Key Issues
Our approach is based on the belief that well integrated project teams and
successful projects do not occur naturally and that success is the resu~ of
focused OA/OC management effort. Based upon our review of the RFP,
Addendum 1, plans, and specifications; our visits to the site; and our
discussions with Department Staff, the RBF Team will focus on the following
key issues:
. Keeping the City Engineer and City Staff informed on a Daily Basis
. Responding Swiftly to City Needs
. Establishing and Maintaining Positive Public Relations
. Developing and Implementing a Sound Work Plan which includes
Phasing
. Providing Clear Communication / Documentation to the Project Team
. Facilitating Special Funding / Record Keeping / Reporting
. Coordinating with the City, the Contractor, the Design Team, Caltrans,
other Agencies, and other Project Team Members
. Obtaining Contractora Submittals, Establishing a Sound Schedule of
Values, and Ensuring the timely routing of all RFl's snd Submittsls to
the Design Engineer for his review for Conformance with Project
Plans and Specifications
. Developing and Monitoring Schedules & Identifying Long Lead Items
. Facilitating and Tracking Critical Elements such as Electrical Work
Orders
. Scheduling and Coordinating Construction Inspection by the City
Inspectora
. Ensuring the Project is Built per Plans, Specs, and Regulations
. Utilizing our Proven CM Delivery System which includes our Web-
Based Document Repository
. Regularly Meeting with the Contractor to Discuss his Ongoing
Commitment to the Safety of Workers, Residents, Pedestrians, and
Commuters
. Facilitating Accurate As-Built Drawings from the Contractor
. Notifying and Communicating with Community Members as Directed
by the City
. Monitoring the Contractor's Traffic Control Plan & Ingress/Egress
. Ensuring Daily Site Clean-Up and Successful Project Close-Out
. Contract Administration (including Construction Management Manual and
Contractor's Handbook)

Change Order I Field
COnflict Costa

QAIOC
WIthout
QAIOC
RE Manual will provide the CM Team a solid foundation on which to base the
administration and management of the construction.
Our Construction Manager will immediately begin pre-construction services and
prepare the Team for field duties. The RBF Team will be well positioned at the
time the Department issues the Notice to Proceed. We will begin to tailor our
Contractor's Handbook for delivery to the Contractor at the pre-construction
meeting. RBF has found the Contractor's Handbook to be beneficial in
providing the Contractor will all the necessary project forms, such as submittal
transmittals, RFI forms, and progress payment forms in both electronic and
hard copy format. The handbook is also useful in supplying a project
background and an idea of how the Department and the CM Team will conduct
business.
To measure Contractor performance during construction, the RBF Team will
require the Contractor submit a baseline CPM schedule at the pre-construction
meeting. Our Construction Manager will diligently monitor the schedule in order
to ident~y the key issues required to keep the work on-time and within budget.
RBF has developed processes, policies, and procedures to manage and
perform work in the construction environment. These are used to control the
flow of work in an orderly manner. Construction contract documentation not
only provides the information needed to bid, plan, and construct the work, it also
provides' the hard data needed to analyze and successfully resolve a
construction claim.
All too often during the construction phase, Designers issue field clarifications
or design bulletins with expensive and time-consuming solutions to inexpensive
problems. The RBF Team will work with the Department to assure that when
changes are authorized they represent an appropriate and cost effective benefit
to the project. Our approach to change order management involves the
following seven steps:
. Avoid changes by performing detailed constructability reviews prior to
contract award
. Establish written procedures for evaluating potential changes, including a
responsibility I assignment matrix and flow chart for processing the change
. Maintain potential change and actual change order tracking logs
. Perform a preliminary evaluation of change requests from any party for
appropriateness, cost-effectiveness, Department confirmation of
entitlement, and time impact, prior to issuance to the Contractor for a quote
. Prepare independent estimates and schedule impact analysis for proposed
changes to be used as a baseline for negotiations
. Maintain a fair and objective approach to negotiations
. Assure that appropriate changes are authorized in a timely manner
Many of these steps are similar to those taken during claims management. We
propose the use of a dispute resolution ladder, which can help to resolve
issues, or, at a minimum, help to focus the essential elements of the dispute.
When directed, the RBF Team will provide schedule impact analysis, cost
analysis, factual historical background, timeline, alternate responsibility
scenarios, supporting contract terms, or other appropriate data and analysis in
support of the Department's defense against claims.
The RBF Team will prepare a monthly report to the Department that discusses
the progress of the work, the schedule, and the costs. It shall also include a
summary of the prior month's accomplishments, status of cost and budget,
current construction activities, overall Contractor's conformance to the schedule

and quality requirements, identification of key potential progress issues, action
items, and issues, along with recommendations for solutions, summary of
progress payments, certified payrolls, change order issues, submittals, RFI's
and responses, notices of non-compliance, and photos of representative project
activities.
Quality Control Measures
Quality Assurance and Quality Control prior to and during the construction
process are extremely important in ensuring timely delivery of the construction
project within or under budget and also to safeguard the value of the Owner's
investment. RBF's Construction Management OA / OC Plan is a well
developed, comprehensive and unified approach to managing Quality
Assurance and Quality Control that is integrated into every step of the project
design and construction process, beginning with the initial conception and
development of the project with the preparation of the plans and specifications,
continuing through all phases of the work, and culminating with the turn over of
the project to the Owner and commencement of the warranty period.
The designated RBF OA / OC Manager for the project will be the Construction
Manager. This ensures continuity, document traceability, and flawless contract
administration. The Construction Manager / QAtOC Manager will employ the
latest edition of the G reenbook as the operative reference and authority for QA /
OC on the project. All work and materials show on the plans, listed in the
specffications, offered in the Contractor's submittals, imported and/or delivered
to the job site, and/or constructed and/or installed on the project must conform
to the Greenbook Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction. Our
process involves the following steps:
1. The Construction Manager will begin implementation of the OAtC Plan with
a complete review of the project plans and specffications. A meeting with
the City of San Bernardino's Project Manager and the Design Engineer will
follow. Any and all concerns with the quality of the specified products and
materials listed in the project plans and specifications will be reviewed and
resolved prior to advertising the project for bid.
2. Review of Contractor bids and Contractor qualifications comes nex1 as a
qualified contractor is selected for the project. Assessment of the unit
prices, extended costs and vendors will be done consecutively with an
accounting of the Contractors quamications, licenses, recorded public
documents, references and past work.
3. The selected bid will be analyzed and vendor products reviewed for
compliance with the project plans, specifications and Greenbook.
Apprehension with any products and/or materials offered in the Contractor's
submittals will be appropriately addressed and resolved.
4. In order to perform work on the project the successful Contractor must
submit a QAtOC Plan for review and acceptance. A review of the
Contractor's OAtOC Plan will be conducted with the City of San
Bernardino's Project Manager, the Design Engineer, and the Contractor to
assure that a comprehensive OAtOC Plan is in place and to achieve
consensus on all scheduled construction activities. All work performed by
the Contractor will be held and subject to the Contractor's own QAtQe Plan.
5. Inspection of the work and verification of products and materials will be
completed by the Construction Inspector and the Construction Manager /
OAtQC Manager. As construction progresses multiple on-going inspections
and assessments of the work will be conducted utilizing OAtOC checklists
and forms, approved submittals, daily construction inspection and QAtOC
reports and photographic documentation. Unsatisfactory workmanship,
materials, and construction deficiencies will de documented and reported

for future identification and traceability. Notices of non-compliance will be
issued to the Contractor and corrective and preventive action will be taken
to ensure compliance with the Contract Documents.
6. Finally, the RBF Construction Management ONOC Plan requires review
and approval of the Contractors As-Built drawings by the Design Engineer
to complete the project turnover and begin the warranty period.
The RBF Team is prepared to provide the experienced personnel to
accomplish the Construction Management in the best interest of the
Department. We are confident in our abilities, as we have successfully
completed the same scope of work on many challenging projects.
