RE: Proposal Package
Project: Albuquerque Elementary School
Dr. Williamson,
I would like to take this opportunity to submit the Proposal for the Albuquerque Elementary School
project in New Mexico on behalf of TM Builders Inc. and RMKM Architecture, P.C. Design-Build team.
We look forward to working as a team to achieve the best quality building construction which would
meet the requirements of project and moreover, deliver a project that would surpass your expectations.
The following reasons make our Design-Build team the best choice for your project.
Over 10 Years of experience in Design-Build Project Delivery method.
TM Builders and RMKM Architecture have completed over 75 projects in Albuquerque, Dallas, Houston
and San Francisco markets adopting the aforesaid delivery method. It is evident in the records that the
projects were completed within the estimated time and budget which delineates our strong reputation
in the construction industry. Our recent projects include LAKESIDE HIGH SCHOOL (Atlanta GA), FINE
ARTS CENTER (Thomaston, GA) BAKER MIDDLE SCHOOL (Tacoma, WA) and ROCKY CREEK ELEMENTARY
(Hampton, GA). Our experience to work as a team for a large number of projects made it possible to
know the flaws in the construction processes and helped us to refine the processes for every succeeding
project. We believe that perfection is never achieved and there is always a scope for improvement. This
motive inspires us to improve continuously and deliver a refined, highest quality project.
Firm Establishment in Albuquerque:
Both the team participants TM Builders and RMKM Architecture have their headquarters in
Albuquerque establishing a firm grip over the market and construction industry in Albuquerque. We
have the appropriate and best possible estimating staff along with the design staff with the right
knowledge of skills based in Albuquerque concerned making us top-tier GC and Architects in the market.
We thank you for considering our proposal and look forward to work together on the Albuquerque

URBAN HIGH SCHOOL
ALBUQUERQUE, NM
Urban High School consisted an educational building, including a Fine Arts addition with a 600-seat
Auditorium, and a four-story of 48 classrooms. In addition to the design we developed an extensive
phasing plan, including evacuation plans redirecting students and faculty around construction areas.
Design Completed: August 16 2010
Construction Completed: September 26, 2012
Final Project Cost: $ 19,746,596
Size of Project: 160,751 SF
Project Staff and Roles:
Abhishek Jain (Senior Project Manager)
Bharat Muttha (Project Designer)
John Pears (Construction Superintendent)
Relevance: The proposed project is an educational building and is relevant to the project mentioned above. The design
of the proposed project would be based on the similar guidelines.
Design Guidelines: The major problem faced during the construction of the school building was handling materials
during the construction phase. The company has then revised its strategy and has given importance to the site layout
planning in order to have a hassle-free construction process.
Client Reference: I made the right decision to award the project for building Urban High School, a well-integrated and
highly effect team. The team not only met the expectations of the board of the school but also surpassed them. The cost
saving techniques and LEED measures adopted in the design helped us save $ 30,000 and helped us build a kids
swimming pool.

St. JOHN’S HIGH SCHOOL
TACOMA, WA
The design of the 118,320-square-foot St. John’s High School is contemporary, enduring and timeless in form
and provides a sustainable, maintainable and technologically forward educational environment. The project was
challenging due to the limited access to the site and the safety constraints
Design Completed: March 2008
Construction Completed: January 2011
Final Project Cost: $ 33,000,000
Size of Project: 119,594 SF
Project Staff and Roles:
Vasu Katti (Senior Project Manager)

John Pears (Construction Superintendent)
Relevance: The main features of the design of this project are its environmental considerations. The design is
sustainable, maintainable and technologically advanced. In the proposed project, the company would adopt the similar
guideline for sustainable design.
Design Guidelines: Sustainable design was one of the significant characteristics of the design. The energy efficient,
durable and technologically sound design and construction has raised the standard of design quality delivered by the
team.
Client Reference: After a thorough review of the proposals, we awarded the contract to TM Builders and RMKM
architects based on their strong background and experience in the construction of educational buildings. The design and
technology used for construction clearly show their excellence in the field of construction. The team is highly

LAKEVIEW
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Lakeview Elementary School unifies the school’s “California campus” into a contemporary campus with larger common
areas; a new music room; a modernized library, gym and cafeteria; new classroom technology and security features that
include a single button that can lock down the entire campus.
Design Completed: January 2009
Construction Completed: May 2010
Final Project Cost: $10,200,000
Size of Project: 44,657 SF
Project Staff and Roles:
Katy Wills (Project Manager)
Harsh Patel (Project Architect)
Relevance: The building consists of classrooms, cafeteria, library and music room which are basic
requirements for a school. In the proposed building, the design-bid team aims to inculcate all these
elements in the design and add more to deliver a better design.
Design Guidelines: The Design-Build team involved the end user of the school in the design process. This
helped to modify the design according to the requirements and saved time that would be spent on
revising the design in the later stages of project.
Client Reference: TM builders and RMKM architects have successfully completed the Lakeview School
project. The way in which the team performs, identifies the potential issues and plans in advance has
helped us to reduce the cost of the project eight percent.

CARMEL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
HAMPTON, GA
The new Carmel Elementary School and athletic facilities were a planned complex construction with a
free-standing High School and Middle School on a 166 acre site (516,513 SF building total).
Design Completed: May 2007
Construction Completed: April 2009
Final Project Cost: $ 13,171,000
Size of Project: 99,073 SF
Project Staff and Roles:
Katy Wills (Project Manager)
Bharat Muttha (Project Designer)
Relevance: The proposed structure would be similar to the project mentioned above.
Design Guidelines: The sub-contractors were not involved in the design of the project. When the sub-
contracts were awarded, the team realized that the design did not match components and fabricated
elements available in the market. The design had to be revised as per the sub-contractors shop
drawings. The team decided to involve the sub-contractors in the design phase of the construction.
Client Reference: TM Builders has constructed the two school buildings and three office buildings for
Carmel Group since 2008. All the projects were completed within scheduled timeframe and with
excellent attention to detail and quality. We recommend Tm Builders to friends and associates because
we know that they will provide a hassle-free responsive service.

RE: TM Builders Inc. SURETY BONDING CAPACITY
Project: Albuquerque Elementary School
Dr. Williamson,
As per the request of TM Builders Inc., we provide you the information of the surety capacity of the firm.
As an independent agency, we seek out the best programs available with our priority being the client
and its needs. Over the years, our experience with a wide spectrum of clients has given us the expertise
to handle virtually any type of business. Our association with TM Builders Inc. as insurance broker has
been for more than seven years. Our previous surety bonds for the construction projects of TM Builders
Inc. have been of magnitude $ 340 Million. However, the amount mentioned is not the limitation of the
bonding capacity and represents the average of the bonds signed by the firm.
TM Builders has sufficient bonding capacity required by the proposed project of elementary school. TM
Builders have completed a variety of projects in Albuquerque, Dallas, Houston and San Francisco, it is
evident from the records that TM Builders have completed in projects in estimated time and budget
which delineates the strong reputation of the firm in the construction industry. We highly recommend
TM Builders Inc. as the General Contractor for the project.
If you have any queries, feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
David Tinley

TEAM INTRODUCTION
We are the third largest general builder in New Mexico, a commercial construction business
generating revenue of more than $250 million each year in complex, one–of–a–kind custom
buildings that enhance people’s lives and alter the landscape of our communities and our nation.
And while many hear construction and think "hammers, concrete, and steel" – in reality, our job is
much more a service business.
Our company’s vision is "to differentiate ourselves so significantly that we change the industry."
How? By making service our top priority, one relationship at a time. Rather than looking to
maximize the profits on individual projects, our intention is to maximize long–term
relationships. And our ability to do so has won us an 85% repeat customer rate over the past five
years.
Design-Build partner RMKN Architecture
“Great architecture makes our lives better, enabling optimal performance and inspiring the best in
everyone.
Through attentive listening, collaboration, and willingness to 'go the extra mile,' we facilitate vision
and clarity for complex facility planning challenges.
TM BUILDERS INC.

to what they dream they can be.”
TM Builders and RMKM Architecture are looking forward to work with SmithCo to achieve high
quality building construction for the Albuquerque Elementary School project.

Preliminary Sketch of the Site
Design Philosophy
The logo itself defines the design philosophy of the project. The main goal to come
up with is design was to understand the requirements of the project and to make maximize
the productivity of the site. The main theme of the design is Education, Sports and Nature.
The design aims at providing a perfect learning environment with a beautiful surrounding
that would increase the learning outcome and maintain a lively environment.
One of the basic motives during the design was to achieve a sustainable
environment. The design incorporates environment friendly and green building techniques
to reduce the operational and maintenance cost of the project. The project fulfills 56 LEED
credits which would be sufficient to get the Silver LEED Certification from the US Green
Building Council.
Material Pallet
Value Analysis:
The main objective of the value analysis is to provide detailed information
about the materials that would be used in the construction. The figure on the left
show the materials used in the construction process and the alternative for each.
The owner would make a choice of the materials based on the budget and
preference. The alternatives provided will not make much difference in the LEED
rating criteria even if either is chosen. The materials are selected based upon: cost,

APPROACH AND SERVICES Our team (design and construction) have professional experienced of managing multi-million $
projects in a diverse set of sectors ranging from commercial office spaces, industrial facilities,
educational institutions, retail spaces, museums to renovation work in historical buildings. Having the
right set of skills with the right people, the constructor(TM Builders) and the designer (RMKM
Architects) have worked together previously on a number of projects delivering well before the deadline
and in a quality measure which exceeded the owner requirements and expectations (please see
recommendations sections in previous project work section). Our professionals are up to date with the
industry trends and lay a strong emphasis on construction safety.
The project managers who are going to be involved with ALBUQUERQUE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
project, Mr. Abhishek Jain (TM Builders) and Mr. Bharat Muttha (RMKM Architects) are both LEED AP
certified by the US Green Building Council and hold > 30 years of work experience together. Both of
them also hold the PMP certification from the PMI (Project Management Institute) and have a track
record of working together on past projects and displaying excellent co-ordination amongst the team.
A Project Management approach which previously delivered exceptional results in similar projects
would be followed in this project as well i.e. THE SIX STEP APPROACH. The major components of this
approach are described below:-
1) IDENTIFY THE PROJECT
Identifying the project isn’t necessarily as simple as it sounds. There needs to be a brainstorming
of ideas with inputs from all the parties involved i.e. the designer, the builder, the speciality
contractors, the suppliers on how to best-achieve the owner’s objectives making the owner a
key to decision making. The project is broken down into major portions to better understand
what the project is all about.
2) DETERMINE DESIRED OUTCOMES
TM BUILDERS INC.
www.tmbuilders.com 100, Sun Avenue, N.E. Albuquerque, NM 87109 ; +1(505)345-1234 Page 26
After the identification of what the project is all about and what the owner wants, comes
another brainstorming session to decide on the best possible and the most cost-effective and
fastest ways to deliver the project. Running towards the project end line with full force
(resources) is desired but it is also to be made sure if the direction in which the run is being
made, is the correct direction.
3) DELINEATE EACH PROJECT TASK
After breaking the project into portions and deliverables, individual tasks/activities are identified
which would contribute towards building the project.
4) IDENTIFY THE PLAYERS
After identifying the individual tasks/activities, responsibility delegation comes into play. It is
decided that who is responsible for delivering what. The responsibilities are collectively decided
with all project personnel present so as to avoid any confusion and clearly communicate to
everybody about the responsibilities allotted.
Players – Internal players, project killers and external players
5) DETERMINATION OF A TIMELINE FOR EACH PROJECT COMPONENT
The project’s major deliverables are be broken down into smaller components and these
components have their own segmented time frames. It shows how long is taken for a task and
also shows if two tasks can be performed simultaneously or sequentially. Our endeavour is to
carry out parallel activities disbursing resources aptly.
6) “RE” APPROACH
“RE”view each project component comparing it to the completion deadline.
“RE”vise the schedule if any component is ahead/behind the set timeline.
“RE”allocate the resources if changes need to be made in the schedule.
Our general GUIDELINES for the project team members:-

PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
Our company offers the use of an online project management software.
Before further describing the software that we use, let us tell you what it is and how it helps:
Project Management software capabilities have been on a rise lately and it is now more than just
scheduling meetings and activities and tasks. A project management tool can estimate the
efforts/resources required, monitor the progress of the project and bring the risks to the front and make
them visible. These can even save historical data of past projects which serves as a great deal in knowing
the possible constraints. These tools are available for different platforms like personal computers,
tablets and mobile phones and are compatible with every kind of project management approach.
Our team will use BASECAMP, an online project management software making co-ordination a lot
easier.

SWPPP
TM Builders recognizes the importance of developing an effective SWPPP to curtail the flow of
pollutants and wastes outside the site area. The SWPPP will be in place during all project phases from
pre-construction to the post-construction activities. The effectivity of the plan is ensured by:-
Training of staff and subcontractors
Assigning implementation responsibility to personnel
Implementing the plan from the first phase of the construction
Routine inspections and maintenance of BMPs
Continuous re-evaluation and re-design of the plan
There shall be an appointed person for ensuring the maintenance of the BMPs and to ensure the correct
implementation of the SWPPP and shall be called the Compliance Officer
The following key BMPs shall be followed on the site:-
1. Preservation of top-soil by maintaining it as stock-piles to conserve natural features and soil
2. A vegetated swale shall be installed along the site perimeter to capture storm water run from
adjacent areas. The swale shall convey the storm water into a drain.
3. Geotextile erosion control blankets shall be used to provide stabilization in the vegetated shale
area.
4. Existing storm drainage inlets on the nearby streets shall be protected with catch basin inserts.
5. Silt fencing will be installed around the perimeter of the site and topsoil stockpiled area
6. Permanent seeding will be applied immediately after the final design grades are achieved on
portions of the site but no later than 14 days after construction activities have permanently
ceased. After the entire site is stabilized, any sediment that has accumulated will be removed
and hauled off-site for disposal.
7. Construction debris, trash and temporary BMPs (including silt fences, material storage areas,
sanitary toilets, and inlet protection) will also be removed and any areas disturbed during
removal will be seeded immediately.

SUBCONTRACTING PACKAGES
The work packages would be subcontracted to the expertized firms to achieve high quality of work and
to increase the pace of the project. Also, the risk would be shared by the subcontractors.
While awarding contract to a subcontractor, following factors would be considered.
1. GMP: The contractor which agrees to complete the work in minimum GMP would be preferred
to complete the subcontracted portion of the project.
2. Experience: The contractors would be evaluated based on their past experiences and higher
priority would be given to those who deliver high quality end products.
3. Financial Stability: The financial status of the contractor’s firm would be considered in order to
minimize the risk to project in case the subcontractor goes bankrupt.
4. Bonds: It would be compulsory for the contractor to sign a bonding agreement before entering
into the contract.
Following are the work packages which would be subcontracted:
1. Landscape
2. Exterior Curtain Walls / Cladding
3. Fabrication of the structural steel members and fencing.
4. HVAC
5. Utilities (Sewage line)
6. Electrical and Lighting (Including Technology)
Minority Business Enterprise
The American Indian Chamber of Commerce of New
Mexico (AICCNM) is a non-for-profit organization,
established in 2000 to assist in the development and
expansion of Native American Indian Tribes and Native-
owned businesses. New Mexico Native American Business Enterprise Center (NMNABEC)
assists individuals, sole –proprietors, corporations and Tribal entities with their business needs
on and off the reservation. TM Builders would be working with NMNABEC to help sole
proprietorships and entities to enter into the construction industry by awarding contracts with
minimum risk.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS
Mechanical Systems
The objective of calculating the energy systems requirement is to achieve a comfortable and qualitative
indoor environment. The energy systems used not only satisfy the requirements but also save a
significant portion of energy due to the installation of sensing technology such as motion and
temperature sensors.
Following are the calculation to find the peak load on the heating and cooling systems.
Area to be air conditioned = 54000 sq ft = 4869.73 sq m
Area BTU = Area x 337 = 1641100 BTU
No. of occupants = 500
Occupants BTU = 500 x 400 = 200000 BTU
Total BTU= 1841100
Tonnage = BTU/ 12000 = 153 ton
A reversible pump would be used to serve the purpose of HVAC. Therefore, a same assembly
would be used for heating as well as cooling the indoor environment. This system saves the space
required in case of two different systems, by combining it into a single unit. However, two ducts running
parallel would be required for this type of operation.
Electrical Systems
The building is designed in such a way that it uses maximum day light, thus reducing the energy
requirement for lighting. The orientation of the building provides diffused light in the classrooms for
maximum time of the day and for entire time of the school. Therefore, high indoor environment quality
is achieved.
Following are the electrical systems used in the project:
1. Lighting
2. Networking (Telephone and internet )
3. Computers and other gadgets in the laboratory
TM BUILDERS INC.
www.tmbuilders.com 100, Sun Avenue, N.E. Albuquerque, NM 87109 ; +1(505)345-1234 Page 41
Energy Monitoring and Control System The Building would be using SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system to generate
the data regarding the energy usage of the building. The software runs with the help of data collector
sensors and records it into the computer. For this purpose, two types of sensors would be used for
sensing technology:
1. Motion sensors
2. Temperature Sensors
Temperature and Motion Sensor
The motion sensors will regulate the light switches. When there is no movement in the room, the lights
would be switched of automatically and vice versa. Similarly, the temperature sensors are used to
regulate the HVAC equipment, thus saving energy when the desired temperature and humidity is
achieved.

standards 1926 and 1910 are readily available for employees’ reference. The compliance with this safety
plan and all the requirements herein is compulsory for all project employees. The enforcement of this
document has been made the responsibility of Mr Jacob Willis who will be appointed as the Chief Safety
Officer (CSO) for the site. Mr Michael Smith shares the same responsibility and will be appointed as the
Security Officer (SO) for the site and would be assisting Mr Willis.
POLICY – It is the company’s policy that the safety and wellbeing of all those who will be involved in the
construction of a project is of prime concern to the company. The parties include employees of the
company, subcontractors, suppliers, client amongst others visiting the site. It also aims to avoid
wasteful, inefficient and dangerous activities which can possibly cause damage to equipment or other
property.
This plan is applicable to all the employees of ‘TM Builders-RMKM Architects’ team regardless of the
designation within the respective companies. It also applies to any person who is present on the project
site.
Everybody mentioned above is required to comply with this safety plan and follow the said OSHA
standards.
The CSO and the SO would meet twice a month in the presence of the project manager in order to
discuss the safety scenario on site and evaluate all areas and recommend changes.
ADMINISTRATION – The safety plan will be carried out according to the standards established by this
document. Assistance will be given to the CSO for helping to maintain a safe working environment and
regular sessions for the construction workers would be held. The frequency of such sessions is once a
month.
It is also the responsibility of the CSO to report each incident to the Project Manager on the same day.
REPORTING INCIDENTS – All employees are responsible for filling an ‘Injury Occurrence’ form even if
medical aid is not required. Employees much immediately inform their superior about the injury along
with submitting the form to the CSO.
The following details about the injury must be reported:-
TM BUILDERS INC.
www.tmbuilders.com 100, Sun Avenue, N.E. Albuquerque, NM 87109 ; +1(505)345-1234 Page 43
What task was being performed by the employee?
What was the employee working with? (Equipment, if any)
What time did the injury occur?
What precaution was the employee adopting?
Place of occurrence.
The failure to report any such incident will be considered a violation of the safety guidelines established
by this plan and can be the reason of immediate termination of the employee.
NOTICES –
a) Serious Injury/ Death

The most important issues on a construction project have been identified as:-
I. Lack of Responsibility – establishing a safety team, which is present on site at all times when it is
active.
II. Housekeeping – carrying out housekeeping at every day’s end.
III. Reporting of Incidents – reporting made mandatory and violation may lead to termination.
IV. Carelessness – holding every employee responsible besides the safety team and taking
disciplinary action against those who violate guidelines. An OSHA guidebook and OSHA
standards are readily available for the reference of all the employees.
V. Defective/Faulty equipment – immediate tagging of such equipment and correcting the default
before further use.

QUALITY CONTROL
Our company strongly follows the philosophy of Total Quality Management to focus on customer
satisfaction and achieving maximum efficiency in the processes adopted. Our team is proactive and is
inclined towards avoiding an error in the first place rather than committing a mistake and correcting it
afterwards.
The team is a strong observer of the following principles:-
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
It is believed that every business process within the company has a customer and if at each step
their expectations are fulfilled, the final product is going to exceed the client’s needs
PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
Every business process is continuously evaluated, re-engineered and implemented and the
process is repeated as it is believed that there is always a scope of improvement
TEAMWORK AND EMPOWERMENT
Teamwork is strongly encouraged within the company as we believe in the idea of collective
responsibility and that a meeting of various minds results in a better end product.
It is also believed that empowering the people involved in a process to make decisions and
corrections inculcates in them a special sense of ownership towards the process which
ultimately leads to a satisfactory product.
There shall be a Quality Control team appointed which shall be reporting directly to the project
manager and bringing to his notice any kind of a diversion from the intentions set. There shall be a
Quality Control Plan in place for both the design and construction phases of the project.
DESIGN – The Design Quality Management Plan shall be composed of regular design checks/reviews,
constructability and usability analysis and a client meeting before the final product is fit for use. There
shall be a review of the design after every quarter of its development i.e. 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% after
which there will be a meeting between the entire project team with the Client in attendance to discuss
the final product and if any changes need to be made to it. The possibility of further improvement or
restructuring will be discussed at every review meeting and at the completion of the design.
CONSTRUCTION – The Construction Quality Management Plan shall be composed of weekly survey
rounds of the project manager along with the quality control personnel. During these visits the
compliance of the construction activities with the contract requirements shall be evaluated. Suggestions
TM BUILDERS INC.
www.tmbuilders.com 100, Sun Avenue, N.E. Albuquerque, NM 87109 ; +1(505)345-1234 Page 48
shall also be made to further improve the quality exceeding the client needs within the budget.
Immediate corrective actions shall be taken in case any default is found in any structure.
MOCKUPS
Mock-ups shall be used in both the areas of the project i.e. Design and Construction. Virtual mock-ups
and actual on-site mock-ups shall be used.
Virtual mock-ups shall be created with the help of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and design
alternatives would be evaluated through that along with constructability analysis of every model and the
best would therefore be chosen. This helps in saving time and money along with the perk of coming up
with the best possible design.
Actual on-site mock-ups shall be made for repetitive work on site. The repetitive work can be any action
that is being repeated in the entire construction process and any individual part/component (like rooms)
of the buildings. This would help the construction team in achieving maximum efficiency and achieving
highest standards of quality.

COMMISSIONING
We believe that one of the most important parts of a building is the equipment placed therein and
hence its commissioning becomes a vital part.
The equipment remains important during its entire life cycle and we believe that it must serve the user
needs in all its lifecycle phases i.e. pre-purchase, Post-purchase, working period and end of life.
Our team will partner with TMCx Solutions LLC for the building commissioning services. We have been
doing business with TMCx for over 5 years and it has been involved in all other projects in Albuquerque.
The reasons of this association and for involving TMCx in this project are as follows:-
They specialize in LEED consulting and building envelope
They have 6 LEED® AP's and 1 LEED® AP O+M on the TMCx staff and they have together
commissioned over 368 LEED projects of all LEED levels including platinum
They have experience in LEED EBO&M
They have ample experience in LEED interior commercial projects
Their policy of satisfying customer needs through questionnaires and surveys continuously along
the project path has helped them excel the process of commissioning
They have on staff a centralized group of engineers, having more than 20 years of experience to
review the project’s design to make sure that it meets the client’s requirements
WARRANTY
Our strong resolve towards achieving the highest standards of quality and maximizing customer
satisfaction is also evident in the systems we install and commission in the building. We offer a
manufacturer’s warranty for a period of 1 year after the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. On
completion of the final punch-points list, TMCx will visit the site and ensure that all the equipment is in
perfect working conditions and replace/remove/re-install any part which is below the desired level.
After occupancy, during the warranty period, if any of the systems is faulty and not working on the level
that it should, a service request can be lodged online and TMCx will respond to such service requests
within 1 day.

PERMITTING
Obtaining the building permits from the city administration is an important breakthrough point for the
start of a project.
Our company’s long experience of competing projects in the city of Albuquerque, a large portion
of which is educational facilities, has made the company professionals accustomed to the process of
obtaining the building permits well on time. There has not been a single incidence of a project being
delayed due to the “no-go” of the administration.
The following are the requirements:-
Submission of 2 sets each of plans, specifications and computations
Address verification
Establishment of legal address
Plan check fee
Flood plain ordinance fee
The plans are checked to comply with the following:-
Zoning Code
Building Code
Fire protection, Structural, Seismic, Accessibility and Auxiliary Codes
Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Energy Conservation, Boiler and Elevator Codes
Traffic safety curb cuts, parking lot access, clear site corners, etc.
Drainage Plan
International Fire Code
The following are the ZONING REQUIREMENTS and the BUILDING CODES requirements

FORM OF CONTRACT
We suggest that the type of contract that should be followed for the Albuquerque Elementary School
Project is the CONSENSUS DOCS 410 – STANDARD DESIGN-BUILD AGREEMENT AND GENERAL
CONDITIONS BETWEEN OWNER AND DESIGN BUILDER (Cost of the work plus a fee with the GMP).
If the owner has another preference for the contract form, a meeting can be arranged to discuss the
pros and cons of the foresaid contract type and the owner’s preference, with the selection of the perfect
fit for the project.
At TM Builders, we try to ensure the smoothest possible flow of the project with minimum number of
contentious issues arising out of ambiguity, recognizing this as one of the foremost reasons which
deteriorates the health of a project i.e. its budget and the schedule. We intend to distribute the risk and
opportunities on a commensurate basis and not making the contract unfair for any of the parties
involved i.e. the owner, the design-build team, the subcontractors, suppliers, etc. It is also believed that
an inclusive approach is the most conducive for the successful completion of the project, so involving all
the parties in key decision making is propagated.
The key reasons for selecting the CONSENSUS DOCS 410:
Company experience in working with this contract type
>10 projects in Albuquerque and >25 projects in the New Mexico region
>10 educational projects
Recently updated keeping in view the latest industry trends and needs
Proportionate distribution of the risks and opportunities
Involvement of the owner on all crucial project stages
Provision of owner rejecting the subcontractor
Written in an unambiguous and clear way maximizing understand ability for al parties involved
Addresses the risks involved in new projects
Leaves wide scope of incorporating value-based features in the contract
