A) Preconstruction Services B)Construction Services as either CM/R or CM/GC. Discuss how you would provide leadership to facilitate teamwork and communications among all parties involved in the project covered by your response. Identify personnel to whom construction management responsibility will be assigned by names, titles, roles, qualifications, experience, and resumes. Provide an organizational chart clearly illustrating proposed staffing. Local knowledge is preferred. PRECONSTRUCTION SERVICES As your CM/GC, CORE will strive to provide the very best professional services to complete your Vista Bonita Park Expansion project. We will engage the construction personnel responsible for building your Vista Bonita Park Expansion project into the Preconstruction Phase as early as possible. Including the Project Manager, Scott Reymore, and Superintendent, Mike Schreiber, early on helps the entire team to address sensitive topics such as schedule, means/methods, logistics, safety, and special requirements. This ensures everyone is included and informed on all discussions and planning efforts that occur during preconstruction, and eliminates the need for a "project hand-off" as we transition from preconstruction to construction. Communication is the most understated obstacle in a project, regardless of what phase is taking place. All parties, including the City, CORE, Jensen-Belts Associates, and our Trade Partners will have the same level of communication to ensure all information is disseminated equally and efficiently. To ensure this, we will schedule weekly meetings that involve representatives of each stakeholder. At the same time, our project team will update a Master Schedule on a regular basis to ensure that you have an accurate snapshot of the current and projected status of your Vista Bonita Park Expansion project. Responsible management of this schedule is critical, and milestone dates will be an essential part of your Vista Bonita Park Expansion project. PRECONSTRUCTION APPROACH By simplifying our preconstruction approach into these three steps, CORE is able to provide details and information on constructability and costs before the detail of the design exists. CORE strives to provide the most innovative, world-class professional preconstruction services in the industry. Our preconstruction services extend well beyond traditional estimating and plan review, by incorporating a broad array of unique services, utilizing the industry's most current technology and market information. Our team uses a variety of tools to accomplish these three objectives: • Bluebeam Revu - Collaborative Laser Scanning Local Agencies Document Review LEED Safety • Investigations Trade Partner Participation Risk Management • Options Studies and Qualification Lessons Learned • Quality Checks Market Acuity Accurate Cost Estimates • Virtual Construction (VC) Schedule Biddability/Constructability RFO for CM/GC Services for City of Twin Falls Vista Bonita Park Expansion I CORE 115 V10 4 I PROJECT APPROACH THE LIVING ESTIMATE CORE will collaborate seamlessly with Jensen-Belts Associates, combining our tools, resources, and expertise for optimal project value. Unlike the traditional model where Jensen-Belts Associates designs to a milestone and the contractor prices the documents, we avoid this sequential approach. At CORE, we embrace a Living Estimate methodology, fostering smooth and efficient design progress. Our PreConstruction Team, working closely with Jensen-Belts Associates, provides detailed cost insights throughout the entire preconstruction process. This dynamic interaction between estimate and design, informed in real-time, mitigates cost surprises and minimizes the need for major design adjustments. SITE WALK As part of ourteam's initial research for your Vista Bonita Park Expansion project,both our proposed preconstruction and operations teams have made site visits to the Vista Bonita Park Expansion project site. This has allowed our team to better understand the City's program and mission, as well as the desires and goals of the end users for the park. It is our desire to know and understand your specific project as best we can in order to serve everyone involved effectively from the onset, ultimately providing the City's Best Value as your Building Partner safely and effectively. - auk aw CONSTRUCTION SERVICES Operational Excellence is at the heart of our construction approach. Our team approaches every project with comprehensive construction administration and management.The same collaborative effort in preconstruction continues throughout construction, ensuring seamless orchestration of permitting, scheduling, Trade Partner management, commissioning, project turnover, and a responsive warranty process. Operational Excellence TM contains specific metrics for tracking and maintaining exceptional safety, quality, schedule, cost control, qualified Trade Partners, and Client relationships. Each factor has an associated goal, ensuring these goals are met. CORE's Superintendent, Mike Schreiber, will generate a report tracking each factor's status on the project. Weekly, the executive management team will review these factors, providing feedback for potential improvement. Utilizing the Operational Excellence program ensures effective construction administration and management. RFQ for CM/GC Services for City of Twin Falls Vista Bonita Park Expansion I CORE 116 4L°QC3 I PROJECT APPROACH FIREWISE APPROACH I CORE'S COMMITMENT TO A SAFER, MORE RESILIENT TWIN FALLS At CORE, our dedication goes beyond building high-quality projects-we also care deeply about the long-term safety and well-being of the Twin Falls community. That's why we're excited to collaborate with the City and Jensen-Belts Associates to thoughtfully incorporate , natural, native landscaping that supports Firewise USA® principles. These landscape strategies help create natural firebreaks and reduce vegetation that can fuel the spread of fire-both on the ground and upward through trees and shrubs. By integrating these measures, we hope to gently reduce the risk of wildfires while enhancing the natural beauty and sustainability of the park. Several members of our team have experienced the impact of grass fires in their own communities, which brings added perspective and care to our work. We're committed to bringing that awareness into thoughtful design choices that prioritize community safety. Additionally, creating an educational component near the new Twin Falls Fire Station 3 could be a great way to connect these two meaningful projects, helping raise awareness and strengthen local resilience. ENGAGING LOCAL TRADE PARTNERS Our success is deeply rooted in the strong, long-lasting relationships we have established with local Trade Partners. By prioritizing local Trade Partners who have a personal stake in the success of projects in their own communities, we ensure a higher level of investment and quality. CORE has built trusted connections with Trade Partners throughout the Magic Valley. We are passionate about keeping work local and providing opportunities for those who live in the community. To support this, we host local Trade Partner fairs to educate subcontractors on upcoming projects, generate excitement, and encourage their participation in the bidding process. This approach not only strengthens our projects but also contributes to the growth and vitality of the local economy.

Provide examples of successful construction management and scheduling services provided on complex, multi-phase projects. Discuss in detail how you intend to enforce contract schedule compliance. Our team believes a project schedule should include a high level of detail. CORE will create a Master Schedule which contains all the activities, relationships, and milestones that will allow us to "drill-down" and create other specific schedules we use as tools throughout the project. From the Master Schedule we are also able to derive a Milestone Schedule that helps to identify leading indicators of schedule slippage. Due to the level of detail that is put into the Master Schedule, at any point during the project we are able to break out other schedule types to help us keep the project on track. CORE takes a collaborative approach to project scheduling and will begin the process by gathering input from the City and other stakeholders for the various potential impacts to the community, including your site and any surrounding properties. As the City identifies the priority and scope of your Vista Bonita Park Expansion project, CORE will prepare a schedule to reach each target date. CORE's Superintendent, Mike Schreiber, utilizes a Last Planner System to coordinate with the on-site Trade Partners daily. The term "Last Planner" refers to the field Foremen and Superintendents who are responsible for implementing their scope of work. This daily coordination with Mike empowers these stakeholders to identify the "what, where, and how" of all construction activities collaboratively as a team which results in minimized conflict in the field. Incorporating this input and gaining buy-in from these stakeholders empowers the team to implement a pull planning methodology on the project. Pull planning is a "future to present" vision of the project where activities are planned and sequenced strategically to meet a future defined project milestone. This methodology contrasts with push planning which arbitrarily assigns an activity duration to a crew without gaining input or commitment. Pull planning identifies the objective the team is working toward and details the steps the team must take as a group to achieve that objective.

As Superintendent of CUSD,I have had the privilege of working with CORE Construction on several projects,and I am consistently impressed by their professionalism,expertise,and dedication to our projects and community. One of the most remarkable aspects of our collaboration with CORE Construction is their profound commitment to supporting the Navajo Nation community. During recent flooding, CORE Construction generously donated and facilitated the delivery of sandbags to protect our school buildings and surroundings. This act exemplifies their dedication not only to completing construction projects but also to actively participating in and supporting our community. CORE Construction's impact extends beyond construction,as they actively engage with our students through classroom presentations and workshops for parents. These efforts enrich the educational experience and foster positive relationships within our community. Despite facing challenging weather conditions and operating in our cold climate,CORE Construction consistently delivers innovative solutions to ensure projects proceed smoothly and meet deadlines. Their proactive communication approach ensures everyone in our district stays informed,enabling us to address any concerns promptly. Todd Steffen and the entire CORE team have been invaluable partners to the Chinle Unified School District,and I wholeheartedly endorse them for any construction project.
