RE: RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS I CANYON TRAIL JUNCTION DEVELOPMENT
Dear Mr. Munns and Selection Committee Members,
CORE Construction (CORE) is an Idaho-based team specializing in Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/
GC) services that serve municipal clients. Our team has a history of successful projects, repeat clientele, and is deeply
committed to accomplishing the goals of your upcoming project. Our project team includes career professionals with
impressive credentials,and our philosophy centers around our commitment to making our clients' goals our own. It is with
great excitement that our team submits our Statement of Qualifications to the City of Twin Falls (the City) for the Canyon
Trail Junction Development project. Here are a few reasons why CORE is uniquely qualified to execute your project:
CLIENT-DRIVEN CM/GC PHILOSOPHY
Over the past 20 years, CORE has focused almost exclusively on public, Qualification Based Selection projects like the
Canyon Trail Junction Development.We maintain a communication-filled,open-book partnership from day one of a project,
and this shared commitment allows each team member to have unwavering,comprehensive trust in one another.At CORE,
we believe that The Client Decides. This philosophy is simple yet profound, ensuring that every Client, including the City,
experiences the highest level of service and returns to us for their future construction needs, assured by the trust and
value we consistently deliver.
A COMPANY BUILT ON TRUST
CORE's rich history started with one key moment in 1937, when our founder, Otto Baum, applied for a loan to start a
masonry company. He had nothing to use as collateral except for his proven character and exemplary reputation. When
the bank manager asked the loan officer why they should consider Otto's request, the officer simply replied, "I trust him."
This event sparked the beginning of CORE, which has now grown to multiple locations across the U.S., supported by over
1,200 employees and a strong culture built on the same trust Otto started the company with in 1937.
UNMATCHED EXPERIENCE
With a proven track record of excellence across a spectrum of construction projects, including over 1,200 municipal
projects across the nation, we possess the experience and proficiency required for your project. We have honed
a comprehensive approach that ensures timely, budget-conscious, and high-quality project completion. At CORE,
we prioritize the well-being of staff and community members throughout the entire process. Our proactive pre-
construction, construction, and warranty processes, underpinned by a robust safety culture, embody our dedication
to creating safe and conducive environments. When it comes to your projects, collaboration is key, and our
team is eager to engage with not only the City staff, but also design and building partners, and the community.
Thank you for your review and consideration of our qualifications. Our entire team looks forward to this opportunity to
serve you, and I am dedicated as your primary point-of-contact. Please feel free to contact me directly, should you require
any additional information and/or clarification at proposals@coreconstruction.com, or at 602-980-3301.
Respectfully Submitted,

CM/GC TECHNIQUES AND METHODS: At CORE, we understand the extreme importance of thoroughly managing
a project from award through pre-construction, construction, close out, warranty, and beyond. To ensure a high quality
management approach, CORE has created a program called Operational ExcellenceTM, the standard by which each CORE
project is measured. Operational Excellence is leadership and teamwork focused on the needs of the Client and the
processes required to exceed those needs. Operational Excellence centers on the way we build, and prepare to build, by
setting goals, establishing processes to meet those goals,and tracking results for the six factors of Operational Excellence.
These factors and their respective goals include:
• Safety-Zero incidents,zero accidents.
• Ouality- Built to the plans and specifications, and to a quality that exceeds Client expectations. No re-work.
• Schedule- Built on or ahead of schedule.
• Cost- Project completed within budget. No change orders.
• Trade Partners-Built by qualified,properly licensed Trade Partners who care as much about Operational Excellence
as we do.
• Clients-The Client will hire us back again.
To ensure that these goals are being met and all processes are being carried out, CORE's entire management team,
including CORE's CEO, will meet on a bi-weekly basis and review your project for Operational Excellence.

CORE has the resources of a Safety Department both at the local and national levels. Recognizing the construction
profession is one of substantial risk, we take all aspects of the business, from safety to contract compliance, very
seriously. As a result of this attention to safety, CORE has been able to maintain an industry-leading EMIR rate,

same commitment to safety as we work closely with the City to identify and manage all risk-related issues for your
project. Our team will recruit input from local, key Trade Partners during the Preconstruction Phase of the project
to enhance our efforts in predicting safety risks well in advance of commencing construction. All CORE-employed
Superintendents are OSHA 30-Hour certified and have had ample amounts of training in safe construction practices.
During pre-construction, we will develop a comprehensive Master Safety Plan specific to your project All Trade
Partners providing goods and services on the project will be required to participate in a mandatory pre-construction
Safety Meeting.During this meeting,there will be a detailed presentation of the Master Safety Plan outlining individual
requirements.All Trade Partners are contractually required to indicate their written understanding of and agreement
with the Master Safety Plan prior to starting their construction activities.

CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
As we addressed earlier in the proposal,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 pre-construction 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 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.
Safety is the top measure of our success. Protecting our employees, Trade Partners, and clients is a CORE value. Our
daily goal is to send everyone home safely, and we build our safety and company culture around this crucial principle.
WATERWISE APPROACH
CORE is dedicated to promoting water-efficient practices in your project. Using erosion
and sediment controls, such as silt fences, erosion control blankets, and hydroseeding,
can help protect the land and prevent soil from being washed away. It's also important
to consider using permeable pavements for parking lots and walkways, which allows
stormwater to soak into the ground, lessening the strain on stormwater management
systems. Using natural landscaping and native plants in the project's design helps to
save water and reduce the amount of work needed to maintain it. It also encourages a
variety of different plants and wildlife to thrive in the area. Additionally, incorporating
rainwater harvesting systems, including collection and storage tanks, can help utilize
captured rainwater for site irrigation and other non-drinking purposes, reducing the
need for municipal water supplies. CORE looks forward to collaborating with the City on
sustainable and water-conscious practices for the Canyon Trail.

FIREWISE APPROACH
CORE is committed to the residents of Twin Falls,not only delivering a high-quality finished
project but also considering the future needs of the community. We are committed
to being forward-thinking by providing natural and native landscaping that complies
with Firewise USA standards. These standards involve creating natural firebreaks and
eliminating ladder fuels to disrupt the continuity of fuels, both horizontally and vertically.
These measures have been proven to slow or halt the spread of wildfires. We understand
the devastating impact even a small grass fire can have on homes, businesses, and city
infrastructure. Some of us have witnessed this damage firsthand. Therefore, we are
dedicated to reducing the risk to the community by applying our Firewise knowledge and
practices to mitigate the spread of wildfire in the urban interface.

LOCAL TRADE PARTNERS
Our success is deeply rooted in the strong, long-lasting relationships we've
established with local trade partners. By prioritizing local subcontractors 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 subs throughout Twin Falls and the Magic Valley over the past five years.
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.We are eager to bring this
commitment to Twin Falls, continuing to foster local talent and partnerships that make a
lasting impact.
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 names, titles, roles, qualifications, experience, and resumes. Provide an organizational chart
clearly illustrating proposed staffing. Local knowledge is preferred.
LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION
We collaborate closely with our clients to foster an inclusive environment where every project team member's opinion
is valued.Our goal is to discover the Best Value solutions through teamwork and open communication,which form the
bedrock of our approach. CORE will ensure continuous and transparent communication. We will maintain a detailed
log of all communications and track any pending items that need attention, complete with deadlines. This action
items list will be updated and reviewed daily by the project team, guaranteeing that every aspect of the project is
meticulously managed from pre-construction through completion.
Regular connection as team is important. We expect to have a weekly
team meeting during the early stages of design (Programming and
CURRENT Schematic Design). During Design Development and Construction
Documents, this may extend to a bi-monthly team meeting.
We like to work in"real-time"whenever possible.We lean on technology
COLLABORATIVE tools like Bluebeam Revu to ensure that each team member has access
to the latest set of design documents with a way for the whole team to
review and comment simultaneously.
It is critical that we provide accurate information throughout the pre-
CORRECT construction process. Correct estimates, sound recommendations,
and smart schedules;these are a few of the areas that CORE is focused
on providing trust-worthy, correct communication.
Each time you see an estimate or report from CORE,it will look and feel

has changed from the previous estimate.This promotes accountability

SCHEDULING
Describe the primary scheduling techniques you use and the software you will employ to produce an effective
construction schedule. 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.
SCHEDULE DEVELOPMENT: CORE takesgreat pride in knowing wehave never missed a project deadline. We
have consistently demonstrated our ability to achieve the highest quality within budget and on schedule, and we are
committed to do whatever it takes to deliver the City's projects on time.
PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE During our Kick-off Meeting, our team will bring a Preliminary Schedule for review
and discussion. This Preliminary Schedule will integrate all elements to be scheduled during the Design Documents
Phase, including completion of design documents.
SUBMITTAL SCHEDULE DEVELOPED USING MICROSOFT PROJECT:AII submittal requirements are incorporated
into a Master Submittal Schedule and then ultimately into the Master Schedule,which is developed through Microsoft
Project. Our scheduling system allows for effective management of the Trade Partners, the procurement of long
lead items, and the assurance that the end-product is accurate. Our field operations team is integrated in the pre-
construction and scheduling process, and your Project Manager, Kody Koebensky, and Superintendent, John
Brown,will perform a comprehensive review of every submittal prior to submission to the Design Team to ensure
items are in compliance and complete.
TRADE PARTNER SCHEDULE:Duringpre-construction, CORE will break the project up per Trade Partner/scope.
CORE will then review these schedules with applicable Trade Partners brought in to assist in thepre-construction
process. In reviewing these schedules, we will get Trade Partners' buy-in as well as their suggestions so that the
Master Schedule includes as much information as possible from all parties. This scheduling process also helps to
create a team atmosphere, rather than an adversarial position, with our Building Partners.
MASTER SCHEDULE: CORE's Master Schedule will contain all the activities, relationships and milestones which will
allows us to "drill down" and create other specific schedules to use as tools throughout the project. From the Master
Schedule we are able to derive a Milestone Schedule that helps to identify leading indicators of schedule slippage,
as well as Six-and Three-week Look-ahead Schedules which manage the progression of on-site activities. 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 CANYON TRAIL JUNCTION DEVELOPMENT
SCHEDULE COMPLIANCE TAB 6
MONITORING Our field teams will measure the amount of work put in place each day by the Trade Partners on-
site, tracking their progress and keeping them informed of how they are progressing compared to the completion
schedule.If it becomes apparent that a Trade Partner may be falling behind,immediate action will be taken to increase
manpower or work additional hours to catch up. We are confident that we can ensure the schedule completion based
on our field management staff's effective assessments of our Trade Partners' schedule performance.
REPORTING: Throughout the Construction Phase, weekly meetings will be held to review the current schedule and
evaluate activities that are on-going or starting in the next three weeks with the City,the Design Team,and our Trade
Partners. For critical path aspects of the project, specific meetings with designated CORE representatives will be
scheduled. Throughout the process, the schedule status is transparently communicated to all parties at all times.
MARKET CONDITIONS AND SPEED OF BUILDING Delivering your project on time is a main focus of our
construction team, but this principle also runs true to our PreConstruction team before construction even begins.
We understand the volatile market can affect procurement of materials, in turn delaying construction, but the CORE
team is prepared to work with the Design Team to deliver a GMP#1 that locks in pricing and timelines of early scopes
like site utilities, building foundations and specialty equipment to meet your project schedule goals.

Office of the Superintendent
March 20,2024
Dear Selection Committee,
I am writing to convey my deep appreciation for the exceptional partnership between the Chinle
Unified School District and CORE Construction. 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. Their
commitment to community support,expertise in cold climate construction,and ability to
overcome challenges make them an exceptional partner.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or need additional information.
S' cerely,

Dear Mr. Munns,
CORE Construction(CORE)bonds are written through a co-surety arrangement with Travelers Casualty and
Surety Company of America(Travelers)and Liberty Mutual Insurance Company(Liberty).
CORE has advised Travelers and Liberty of their desire to perform construction services for your captioned
project.Travelers has enjoyed a relationship with CORE for over 40 years. During our relationship we have
provided any bid, performance and payment bonds that they have required. We have bonded significant
individual projects for CORE and they are certainly qualified to perform contracts such as yours, as they
have bonding capacity of$300 million per single project and $2 billion in the aggregate. This is not to be
construed to be a maximum, but rather working parameters. CORE has always met their contractual
obligations and we believe there is not a higher quality firm you could choose to work with.
Should CORE be awarded a contract on this or any of your projects and be required to provide performance
and payment bonds for same, and should contractor so request, we would be in position to provide such
bonds, subject to a favorable review of the final bond forms, contract documents and specifications and
usual underwriting requirements at the time.
In addition, both Travelers and Liberty are licensed to do business in all states and Travelers has an A.M.
Best Co. rating of A++XV while the Liberty A.M. Best rating is A XV.
