My career started in the local trades here, providing foundational industry knowledge. After years in the field, I became a Project Manager for a prominent commercial general contractor.

COST ESTIMATES VS BIDDING: We can certainly provide a cost estimate early in the project to help guide the design process. While this estimate is not a guaranteed price and cannot predict actual bid outcomes, it serves as a valuable planning tool. Additionally, bid packages can be issued incrementally—as they are developed—similar to a phased approach. This allows us to identify potential cost impacts early and compare estimates to actual bids as they come in, helping to track pricing trends and inform decision-making throughout the project. Phasing A phasing plan can be incorporated into both the construction documents and bidding materials, including the bid form and instructions to bidders. To help minimize mobilization costs, we will also consider strategically overlapping major work activities within each phase. These approaches can be further tailored once we have a clearer understanding of the City's specific goals and requirements. TRANSPARENCY AND ACCESS All CM/GC projects managed by SuburbanCM through Procore provide City staff with real-time access to comprehensive financial data, ensuring full transparency, informed decision-making, and collaborative financial oversight. With authorization from the City's designated point of contact, any team members can be granted access to this essential component of the Procore system. Within the Procore environment, the Budget is more than just a report—it functions as an interactive, standalone tool. Organized by industry-standard cost codes, it provides detailed line-item breakdowns for materials, labor, equipment, subcontractors, and other categories. Owner-incurred costs can also be itemized separately for added clarity. The Budget module supports various custom views and allows for easy export to CSV or PDF, making it a powerful and flexible resource for ongoing financial management. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: In our CM/GC estimates, we begin by outlining the project's general requirements. This section captures costs related to construction management, site facilities, safety measures, permitting, and standard reimbursable expenses. For this project, there will be no building permit cost, as the City does not charge itself permit fees. Our Construction Management (CM) fee will be applied to each subcontract line item after the bids have been reviewed and approved. We would propose a fee between 5% to 7% depending on duration and overall budget. If preferred by the City, we can also include design fees and special inspections in the budget to provide a more comprehensive financial overview. Otherwise, the budget will reflect the direct value of our contract. Falls, qr Twin • • • I: • I • • • • • Bonita • • 6.

CRITICAL PATH METHOD The Master Construction Schedule, created using the Critical Path Method (CPM) in Microsoft Project, serves as a detailed roadmap for the project and is regularly updated.
