3. Type of project, size of building components, site, and construction area.

This project was a two-level, 18,000 sq. ft. separate building addition with connecting corridors to the existing main hospital building at ground and first floor levels. The first floor precast roof is designed for future vertical expansion as a second floor except in the area of the raised canopy at the front covered entrance/vestibule. The rear exposed lower level is all poured walls with precast plank supported on steel for first floor structure. First floor walls were load bearing masonry with brick and colored split-face CMU’s, spandrel glass and aluminum for veneers; only minor work was required inside the existing building for tie-ins. Security was achieved by fencing off the construction area at the first floor entrance around the existing parking lot.

4. Scope of service performed.

Project was hard bid with very close numbers from top to bottom with six bidders. The two low bidders were then asked to price two series of cost saving alternates and propose several value engineering alternatives to bring the project back within budget. Original base bid with alternates was $1,605,280 and revised bid/contract with cost savings and value engineering items included was reduced to $1,397,408.00. The owner and lessee doctors group (who were still negotiating their contract with the hospital during construction) made several major changes in spaces and finishes after interior walls were in place, resulting in $204,187.00 in change orders prior to completion. The project was shut down completely for nearly three weeks while changes were being decided on. We provided full-time on site project supervision and project management control from the office. We conducted all job-site coordination meetings. We self-performed all demolition, concrete, masonry and carpentry. Owner direct purchase of materials also saved $24,000.00 in sales taxes with our control of the purchase order program.
