Clinical Research Building RFP

8. Q & A The proposer should include responses to the questions below in this section whether or not they have been addressed elsewhere in their RFP response. Please note your responses directly under each question. Q. Do you anticipate self-performing any work? If yes, please describe which areas. A. No, we do not anticipate self-performing any work. We feel the inherent distractions associated with monitoring resources, materials and logistics related to self-performing work would take us off our purpose path of the overall project management and safe guarding the owner’s interests. Q. What Lean Construction Strategies would you incorporate on this project? A. We have adopted various Lean Strategies into our standard project systems. We would plan to utilize the following systems and strategies on this project: • Virtual Design & Construction: Collaboration between Designers, Subcontractors and other stake holders to develop building information modeling can allow for early clash detection between different building components to help avoid project delays and cost impacts. J. Raymond has provided in house BIM services for several years and will utilize these services to ensure a thorough and smooth preconstruction process, transition to construction and project closeout. • Owner / Architect / Contractor (OAC) Action Item Tracking (SmartSheet): This tool not only clearly captures the open issues and next project “to-Do’s” but also assigns Team Member responsibility and accountability (akin to Last Planner type approach) • Preinstallation Meetings: Represents early partnering sessions with Subcontractors in advance of their scope of work commencing on the project. The goal is to resolve any specific project issues in advance of their commencement of activities to avoid time loss and inefficiencies.
