Pre-construction Services: Provide pre-bid and pre-bond services tailored to the needs of each District. Our involvement includes the development of project time-lines along with the Architect and budgeting in preparation of a bond referendum. This information is presented to the public in print form, or often at a public forum, where residents discuss the project first-hand with the members of the project team.

Pre-bid services include the review of contract documents with the Architect of Record in an effort to present the most cohesive package possible to fully protect the interests of the District.

Construction Schedule and Completion: Development of construction schedules with Architect and contractor, with constant awareness of conditions which may cause delays in the completion of the project.

Observations: Conduct on-site observations of work in progress, materials and equipment, as a basis for determining conformance of work, with the contract documents prepared by the Architect.

Liaison: Serve as the Owner's liaison between the contractor and Architect and maintain a working relationship with the contractor on behalf of the Owner.

Job Conferences: Attend and maintain records of all conferences held at the job site.

Observe Tests: See that tests which are required by the contract documents are actually conducted; observe, record and report to the Architect all details relative to test procedures.

Records: Maintain at the job site orderly files for all correspondence, shop drawings and samples as reviewed by the Architect of record, reports of job conferences, reproductions of original contract documents, and photographs. Keep a log book, recording hours on the job site, weather conditions, list of visiting officials, and daily activities. Record names, addresses and telephone numbers of all contractors and subcontractors.

Reports: Report, as required, to the Owner about progress, specific problems and current status of on-going projects.

Contractor's Requisition for Payment: Review with all parties, the requisitions for payment as submitted by the contractor, as well as detailed tracking of project costs from initial budget estimates to direct construction expenditures.

Punch List: Assist the Owner and the Architect of record in finalizing a comprehensive punch list for job completion and acceptance.
