3.1

Team Breakdown of Work Discuss the portions of the work that will be undertaken directly by the contracting party and portions of the work that will be subcontracted. This shall include descriptions of the parties (firms and individuals) that will undertake the roles for Project Management and leadership, design/permitting, construction management, construction sequencing, construction inspections, commissioning/startup, acceptance testing, coordination with operations and any other significant Project work elements. Where more than one firm or individual will play important or specialized roles in the design, they shall also be identified.

Advanced American Construction will self-perform the majority of structural and mechanical repair and rehabilitation work to maintain the highest level of control over project schedule, quality and safety. We have ample capacity to staff the project with highly skilled tradesmen that are fully trained in AAC safety policies and practices to complete the work and return traffic to the bridge in the shortest time possible. This level of control enhances our ability to minimize the duration of time the lift span is inoperable and reduces AAC's overall project risk. It also enhances our ability to assess programming opportunities to maximize the benefit the project budget affords to the City of Tacoma. This level of control and risk mitigation will enable AAC to provide the lowest reliable firm-fixed price for design-build services and the best value for the project dollar.

3.3 Management of Public Contracts Demonstrated ability of proposed Project leadership to successfully deliver major DB projects to public clients with federal funding.

The AAC Design-Build Team has an outstanding record of successful design-build project delivery for public sector clients. Advanced American Construction and our leading design consultants, OBEC Consulting Engineers and Parsons Brinkerhoff, are intimately familiar with federal-aid highway programs and the standards associated with federally funded projects having served clients during all phases of project development, including design, construction, and acceptance. The $37.1M allocated for the Murray Morgan Bridge Rehabilitation Design-Build project are federal funds. The bridge is not located on the National Highway System and is, therefore, subject to limited federal oversight. For the Murray Morgan Bridge, WSDOT will be responsible for review and approval of the Design-Builder's construction documents prior to the start of on-site work and is ultimately responsible for federal compliance oversight. Contract administration and day-to-day project oversight has been delegated to the City of Tacoma through the Murray Morgan Bridge turnback agreement. Due to these circumstances, we recognize that the Design-Builder will play an important contributing role in federal compliance. A sampling of our Team's more recent federally funded design-build projects are included in Table 3.3.1 below.

FEDERAL FUNDING

Table 3.3.2 on the following page outlines the applicable compliance categories that are required to meet federal standards and the governing documents applicable to the Murray Morgan Bridge project. In general, WSDOT standards are made to comply with federal standards. Therefore, to ensure federal compliance on the Murray Morgan Bridge Rehabilitation Project, the AAC Design-Build Team plans to strictly conform to all applicable WSDOT standards and guide documents for design and construction. BUY AMERICA ACT

The Buy America Act presents the most visible challenge to movable bridge rehabilitation projects, affecting both design and construction. The bridge component fabricators and integrated bridge system companies that local agencies most often prefer are located outside of the United State with few domestic alternatives. An exception to the Buy America Act is generally required on any significant movable bridge rehabilitation project. AAC, OBEC, and PB assisted clients through the Buy America Act exception process for movable bridge rehabilitations and are very experienced in WSDOT and FHWA exception review and approval process. We will submit specific documentation and justification needed to expedite approval of a Buy America Act exception.

DESIGN

The AAC Design-Build Team is very experienced with WSDOT standards and will use compliance with WSDOT standards as our basis for ensuring federal compliance. Federal regulations will require WSDOT to review and approve all construction documents before construction and off-site fabrication can begin. We will work closely with the City to coordinate design review, comment and comment resolution at key design milestones and will reflect appropriate activity durations in the project schedule to account for this coordination. To minimize project duration and expedite the opening of the bridge to traffic, we will implement a Design Package strategy using Early Design Packages to obtain WSDOT approval to proceed with critical path work and long lead-time procurements early in the project.

CONSTRUCTION

A key federal compliance concern is the proper inspection, acceptance, and quantity verification of materials incorporated into the project. Our Construction QC Manager, Bill Carter, is a 30-year veteran of WSDOT's construction management corps and has an in depth knowledge of the project close-out and certification process. Bill will ensure a comprehensive close-out program is in place from the very first day of construction to ensure efficient, trouble-free project close-out.

CIVIL RIGHTS AAC Design-Build Team members are all EEO firms. We recognize the importance of WSDOT’s policy to design and construct projects with the highest regard for diversity. To that end, the AAC Team commits to maximizing the participation of disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE’s) on this project and to meet the specified DBE utilization goals. Our Team is also committed to achieving WSDOT’s comprehensive diversity objectives. To ensure success, our team includes F.M. Burch and Associates, a diversity consultant firm with an exceptional record of exceeding minimum DBE goals on major transportation projects. Faye Burch, our Diversity Manager, will use her experience in successful DBE program management to effectively implement the following programs:

DESIGN PHASE WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT APPROACH Despite thorough staff planning prior to starting the project, it is sometimes necessary to supplement project staff both in the short-term and in the long-term to ensure effective completion due to the dynamic nature of design-build delivery. Examples of circumstances that may require workload adjustments to maintain schedule include:

Construction schedule acceleration to meet critical path objectives.

Design revisions due to unforeseen conditions or additional information beyond the preliminary design.

Regulatory agency or permit requirements. Design revisions due to abrupt changes in

material availability and/or costs. Office engineering (i.e. shop drawing review,

responding to RFIs) during construction.

Our team also has capacity available to address additional City of Tacoma requests to investigate various technical issues or provide services outside the original scope of work. On past design-build projects, AAC Design-Build Team engineers have increased project staff capacity to meet the challenges of maintaining project schedules by:

Utilizing overtime. Re-allocating workloads to involve additional

staff to ensure long-term design-build needs are met.

Outsourcing drafting and/or design services to qualified and City-approved subconsultants.

Hiring additional staff.

Prior to starting the design-build project, we will make appropriate project staffing assignments, including lead engineers being exclusively assigned.

Dispute Resolution Often, disagreement on a construction project can be of benefit to the project outcome. Some of the best changes and solutions have resulted from something that may have begun as a dispute, yet evolved into a positive solution amenable to all parties. Our team strives for win-win solutions that will help the City realize the full benefits of design-build delivery. Our experience has shown there are multiple effective methods of Alternate Dispute Resolution. We envision formal partnering as well as adoption of one of the following dispute resolution strategies: Executive Team Disputes Resolution Board (DRB) Third Party Neutral (TPN)

Not every method will work on every project, so it is important for AAC Design-Build Team leadership and the City to meet very early and agree on a method that will work best for you.

The AAC Design-Build Team is committed to satisfying all contractual obligations with open and straightforward communication at all levels from project start to close-out. We will develop an Issue Resolution Plan providing a reporting structure and training program to ensure that whenever an issue is identified, we will immediately bring it to the City's attention – along with a recommended solution. We will facilitate a shared commitment among the City of Tacoma, the design and construction teams, and all stakeholders. Open communication early will identify potential issues before work begins, including: Safety concerns to the traveling public and to the

workers on the project Permitting/environmental compliance concerns Influences by parties outside of the design-build

contract Concerns of local communities and stakeholders Field issues difficult to address using conventional

DRAFT PROJECT MANAGEMENT/COMMUNICATIONS PLAN OUTLINE



Clearly identifying the lines of communication, involved parties, and potential areas of concern will enable the AAC Design-Build Team to proactively manage and resolve issues. Similarly, by ensuring that communication takes place in an open manner, that there are documented strategies for resolution, and that all involved parties are empowered, we will avoid disputes and devise project-first solutions. Your AAC jobsite management, design, and QA/QC teams have the proven ability to address issues and prevent them from escalating.

Our design and construction integration and coordination plan addresses these key areas: I. ORGANIZING THE TEAM To ensure a cohesive, well-managed team throughout design, construction, and acceptance, we will: Create detailed organization charts,

communications charts, and a project contact information directory including the entire team. Create a clear schedule of deliverables that works

effectively for all team members, along with detailed roles/responsibilities for all project staff. Ensure complete dissemination of all key project

information. Define scope and budgets for all team members. Conduct a kick-off meeting. Provide critical safety, environmental, and quality

training sessions to multi-disciplined staff. II. ESTABLISH COMMUNICATIONS AND

INTEGRATED PROCESSES AT NTP Upon notice to proceed, the following communications and integrated processes will be established: Begin weekly production meeting that covers

design and construction issues, with the meeting co-facilitated by construction and design managers. Key team members such as design, construction, quality, environmental, and the City participate.

Provide both construction and design team access to project Web-site and the project FTP site.

Create email distribution lists for key design and construction members.

Begin weekly design development meetings with key design and construction staff.

Establish critical lines of communication between design and construction staff. Begin monthly Project Principal meetings with

management team and project Principals from the City of Tacoma to cover project performance in key areas: schedule, environmental compliance, safety, quality, and other current issues on the project.

III. BEGIN WORKING AS A UNIFIED TEAM DURING THE BID DESIGN

Designs are completed during the Bid Design and Proposal development stage. These designs are typically completed to the 30% level with bridge repair extents, mechanical maintenance and repair inventory, containment strategies, and schematic systems design determined. At this early stage, design and construction staff begin working together on key activities: Site visits and scoping Baseline concepts selection work session Project schedule review Project bid estimate Draft and Final Quality Proposal and Bid

Estimate Reviews IV. DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN

REVIEWS The following integrated activities will occur during the course of the design: Project teams are formed for key components

consisting of designers and construction personnel who will deliver each component. Project teams meet regularly to develop the designs with mutual collaboration. Key construction personnel review every design

submittal. Design staff engages with construction staff to

obtain construction staging and sequencing requirements.

V. CONSTRUCTION INTEGRATION Once construction begins, design staff will perform many of the typical office engineering roles the contractor performs on traditional design-bid-build projects to the extent that makes sense for production. Other continuous activities include: RFI responses, field site visits and special

inspections. Weekly production team meeting of design and

contractor staff. Daily communications. Design and construction staff participation in

Quality Documentation.

.3.6 Quality Management Team experience developing and implementing quality plans and programs, including construction quality assurance and inspection. This shall include a description of the role and degree of independence that is proposed for construction inspections and how corrections to adverse inspections will be managed.

The quality of design, construction, and project execution are critical concerns for the City of Tacoma on this design-build project. The AAC Design-Build Team has developed a comprehensive design and construction Quality Program proven on past design-build projects to provide successful quality results. The Quality Program establishes the framework and defines detailed processes to ensure design documents, drawings released for construction, and constructed elements all conform to the contract requirements and that the finished construction is ideally-suited for its intended use.

Implementation of our Quality Program from the very first stages of project development through final acceptance will ensure a smooth and issue-free project close-out process meeting all FHWA stewardship and oversight reporting standards. Each element of our Quality Program is designed to serve a specific quality purpose in an efficient and cost-effective manner that minimizes non-compliance issues, ensures timely resolution of quality concerns, and provides a completed project that fulfills our client's needs and goals.

DESIGN QUALITY Design quality processes for the Murray Morgan Bridge Rehabilitation Project will be based on OBEC's established and proven corporate Quality Management Plan utilized on all OBEC design projects. The AAC Design-Build Team recognizes the importance of establishing, monitoring, and maintaining a high level of quality control and quality assurance documentation throughout project development as a key factor affecting successful delivery of the final constructed project. We have established formal QA/QC procedures, checklists, and sign-off sheets to provide complete quality assurance documentation for each element of the project. OBEC's rigorous quality assurance processes provide reliable verification of Quality Plan and contract compliance, and ensure no engineering document is released for construction without the completion of appropriate, pre-planned quality checking and review.

Our philosophy of ensuring the quality of design deliverables has always involved independent checking by experienced engineers and review of project deliverables by senior management. For this reason, our design QA/QC team includes nationally-recognized experts in historic steel and movable bridge systems who will independently review structural and mechanical design solutions for conformance with applicable WSDOT, FHWA, and AASHTO design standards, specified service requirements, safety, and reliability.

Our Quality Program supports the City's primary goal of effective quality control and assurance by: Verifying the quality of design and construction

work performed by the AAC Design-Build Team through independent and objective checking, observation, inspection, and testing.

Preventing the occurrence of design and construction non-conformance through active and effective quality control, quality assurance, and program audits.

Enabling timely correction of design and construction non-conformance through prompt reporting and resolution of non-conformance issues.

Providing documentation required to demonstrate the Project's design and construction quality and contract compliance at any time.

Integrating quality processes efficiently and cost-effectively into every element of the overall design and construction process.

Conforming to all applicable WSDOT, LAG Manual, and FHWA quality testing, auditing, verification, and reporting standards.

The AAC D-B Team's Design QA/QC Process for each design deliverable includes:

Independent checking of all design calculations.

Independent senior review of all plans and specifications.

Verification of contractor review, consideration of comments, and documentation of comment resolution.

Established design quality control checklists. Rigorous written comment resolution

process. Quality assurance documentation of each

quality process for follow-on compliance verification.



CONSTRUCTION QUALITY The Construction QA/QC team will be managed by Bill Carter, be operationally independent of the design-build design and construction teams, and will report directly to the Project Principal, Dee Burch, to ensure this independence. Construction QA/QC procedures and inspection programs will be conducted in accordance with the WSDOT Construction Manual. Primary construction QC objectives are to oversee construction and to provide:

Quality control, quality assurance, and project documentation Project coordination, preconstruction meetings,

monthly estimate reviews, and owner/contractor meetings On-site and off-site inspection for compliance with

plans and specifications Review and approval of shop drawings Quality and quantity assurance documentation Change orders and extra work Acceptance testing and final documentation Enforcement of City-specified O&M training and

Commissioning requirements

AAC's approach to Construction Quality includes: Work in a partnering atmosphere with the

construction team, design team, and City of Tacoma to provide a high-quality project.

Provide highly-qualified inspectors and engineering staff working proactively with the construction team to address RFIs, submittals, and construction oversight in a timely, professional manner.

Provide three-phase (Preparatory, Initial, and Follow-Up) construction quality control process.

Ensure that all materials are properly certified and in compliance with project requirements.

Provide control and documentation of Non-Conformance and corrective actions.

Provide control of all Quality Records during construction.

Ensure the project is administered and properly monitored throughout for final acceptance by the City of Tacoma

QUALITY PROGRAM ENSURES RELIABLE PROJECT DELIVERY The AAC Design-Build Team's comprehensive and effective Quality Program is a critical feature ensuring reliable, on-time, and cost-effective project delivery to the City of Tacoma. Training: All members of the AAC Design-Build Team receive formal, in-depth training regarding project Quality Program requirements and processes at all levels of the team, including subcontractor organizations, and will be required to follow the applicable practices for all work in the project. Serialized copies of the plan are provided to each firm, key personnel, design leader, construction supervisor, subcontractor, and QA/QC team member, in both hard copy and electronic form, to ensure each person has ample access to the Quality Program. AAC maintains accurate training records for each individual for compliance verification purposes. Constructability Reviews: The Design-Build Project Engineer, Jake Duyck, and Design-Build Construction Manager, Kainan Bodenlos, will perform ongoing constructability reviews at key design milestones throughout the project. This level of review ensures the individuals responsible for implementing the design are satisfied with the completeness, accuracy, and constructability of the design. This process has been used on OBEC's Weaver Bundle 306 project and other design-builds to virtually eliminate the need for costly design changes that slow project delivery. CHANGE MANAGEMENT Should design changes be required to improve quality, expedite project delivery, or improve the realization of the City's project goals, a formal change management process is used to establish the nature and purpose of the proposed change, confirm

compliance with contract terms and project objects, and to track the design quality process to ensure the design change undergoes the same quality control process and design review as the original design. Such a process ensures that design changes are not implemented without prior notification to the City or without thorough QC in accordance with the plan. ADVERSE INSPECTIONS AND QUALITY NON-CONFORMANCE Any adverse inspection, testing failure, or failure to meet specified design standards or specified contract requirements, either in design or construction, is considered a Quality Non-Conformance and is treated seriously by the AAC Design-Build Team. All instances of Quality Non-Conformance are recorded in a written Non-Compliance Report (NCR) and reported immediately to the City, along with proposed mitigation steps that will be used to eliminate the non-conformance including documentation of final correction and acceptance by the City. All NCRs are recorded in an NCR Status Log, which is reviewed with the City at weekly project meetings to ensure adequate and acceptable mitigations steps are being taken. The QA/QC Program will be designed and administered to ensure that that Principal Quality Oversight includes adequate independent authority to halt construction activities in order to address quality issues and protect the City's investment. COMMISSIONING We anticipate the use of formal commissioning during the acceptance project phase to ensure electrical, mechanical and control systems function reliably, safely and in conformance with the construction documents. Commissioning is performed under the direction of a certified Commissioning Agent.

CONSTRUCTION QUALITY KEY PERSONNEL Our construction QA/QC program will be led by Bill Carter, PE.
