This plan will be depicted in a logic network, timeline schedule, and manpower loading chart.

Site Facilities Planning and Layout The CM, as part of the preconstruction phase, is capable of reviewing the general arrangements for not only constructability, as indicated previously, but also to formulate a site layout plan. The layout plan will include tie-in locations and specifications for required temporary utilities and must reflect the installation design for the permanent facilities including underground piping and electrical commodities in order to avoid costly relocations as the project progresses.

Project Controls The CM will also ensure that the contract specifications require each Contractor to provide and maintain a separate resource-loaded, logic-driven computerized network and detailed construction schedule using the software application as specified by the Owner. All schedule submittals and updates will be reviewed by the CM for conformance to the overall project schedule and requirements of the specifications.

Cost Control The CM, acting on behalf of owner will review and recommend for Owner approval Contractor invoices for work performed and services rendered.

The CM review must include an evaluation of the work performed, materials provided and services rendered. The invoice format pricing and documentation submitted must reflect and conform to the contractor’s contract requirements as defined in the contract documents.

The CM will develop and maintain cost data on a continuously updated database and issue reports monthly or as requested by the Owner. These reports can include, but no be limited to:

• Construction Cost Report including budgeted, committed, invoiced and forecasted costs for each of the site contractor purchase orders. This report will also note variances from the latest budget.

• Change Order Report.

Change Order Management The CM will implement the owners change order procedure for the Project to control the costs and ensure timely reimbursement for changes in the work scope. The CM will analyze and evaluate all claims for contract time extension or cost adjustment; make recommendations to Owner for resolution, approval, or disapproval.

Progress Reports The CM will enforce the contractor reporting requirements as delineated in each contract and compile for issue to the Owner in a frequency as required by the Job Procedures or as otherwise requested by the Owner. In the case of multiple site contractors, the CM will compile the data in order to issue overall reports of a similar nature and format.

Construction Review Meetings The CM will develop a program and schedule for site review meetings designed to ensure sufficient communication among the project participants, namely the Owner, Engineer, CM and Contractor(s).

Construction Completion and Commissioning Program As part of the System and Plant Turnover Program Management, the CM will manage and oversight a smooth transition from construction completion of an operational system to its turnover for commissioning and subsequent pre-operational start-up. The CM will ensure that the construction contractor converts his installation program from bulk commodities to a system-by-system in support of the start-up schedule. The CM will also coordinate joint punchlist walk-downs designed to identify remaining contract work for each system. When the systems are deemed ready for commissioning, the CM would relinquish the system turnover package to the Start-up Manager for review for completeness and commencement of the commissioning process. The CM will be responsible for monitoring the status of each of the operational systems as it transitions from construction completion to pre-operational checkout and testing.

Project Start-Up Support Upon acceptance of the turnover package by the Start-up Manager, it will be the CM responsibility to support the start-up program as required. It will then become a coordination function for the CM to ensure that the contractors are not only completing their outstanding non-operational punch list items, but are also supporting the start-up as required and delineated in their respective contracts.



Site Safety Management AECOM is responsible to notify and enforce all aspects of local, state and federal regulations pertaining to safe work practices of any and all of its employees while conducting work under contract at the Facility.
