Construction Project Manager Position Justification Please Describe The Construction Project Manager Position Justification Please describe the business need (problem and solution) that make this position essential: The Agency has numerous, on‐going projects requiring construction oversight to support all of the assets associated with its dams, waterways and power generation. Up until now consultants have supported the majority of this work. Specifically, current construction project management is being provided on a contract basis from both SRD and Black and Veatch. Due to the continuous need across the Agency, it will be better served if a dedicated Agency employee is responsible for management of construction projects. Two of these contracted hydro experienced construction project managers are retired PG&E employees and expected to fully retire in the next several years. Their expertise was developed working with hydroelectric and water projects over several decades and will be difficult to replace to maintain good management of project(s) construction. Roles and Responsibilities: Under the general direction of the Principal Engineer: Serves as the Construction Project Manager and is responsible for all aspects of the successful execution of contracted engineering and construction projects; Oversees inspection and contractors in the field to assure scope, schedule, and cost are fully met per the contract specification(s). Manages the day‐to‐day responsibility of procurement, construction scope, finance/budgeting, planning, resources, scheduling, permits, quality and compliance, safety and completion of project; Ensures the proper planning and communication of scope, cost, scheduling, and requirements of project; Collaborates with Purchasing to ensure the appropriate requirements of procurement, bidding, bid walk, awarding contracts and the management of contractors are executed correctly; Page 1 of 2 Provides economic analysis and supports estimating, with the engineering staff, to support selection of alternatives, completes reports prepares correspondence and makes recommendations. Financial Impact: A fully burdened exempt position is expected to cost approximately $206K annually. The rate currently paid to SRD for this service is $180 per hour which would equate to approximately $375,000 for full time engagement. Also, several of the current, contracted Construction Project Managers are retired PG&E employees with extensive experience in construction around hydro and water projects and are expected to fully retire within several years. This expertise will be difficult to replace. Consequently, the Agency would be best served by transitioning and developing this expertise internally. This transition to internal construction project management is expected to be essentially cost neutral and likely a cost savings within several years. Support of Agency Strategic Plan: This position will be supporting Strategic Priority #3: Operate the Yuba River Development Project for safety; regulatory compliance; and water and power reliability; in an environmentally responsible manner. Objective 1: Support Strategic Priorities 1 (Flood Risk Management) and 2 (Reliable Water Supply). Objective 2: Dam Safety: Continue to grow the Agency’s understanding of its dams and proactively identify and address issues as they are raised. Objective 5: Reliability – Water and Power: Position the Yuba River Development Project (YRDP) assets and organization for long‐term reliability and viability, not just short‐term results. o Strategy 2: Work to shift project construction management and environmental permitting work load off of consultants and internal to the Agency so the Agency owns this expertise.

  • Public Procurement Practice SELECTING the APPROPRIATE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD
    Public Procurement Practice SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD INTRODUCTION Application of guidance in public procurement practices will depend on the laws, procurement codes, ordinances, and policies of each entity, along with any grant provisions. Individual agencies may also use different terms for the methods described. STANDARD Selection of a construction project delivery method will depend on which delivery methods are permitted by legislation and will be determined through a business analysis of the project characteristics. Project characteristics may include price, complexity of scope, risk, and qualifications, experience, capability, and capacity of the contractor. The attributes of each project characteristic and the priorities of the entity will also help determine which method is selected. Definition: Project Delivery Method A project delivery method is a process that achieves the satisfactory completion of a construction project. The method is selected for the purpose of assigning risk and responsibility to members of the project team, i.e., owner, designer, builder. Element 1: The three primary construction project delivery methods are Design-Bid-Build (DBB), Design-Build (DB), and Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR). o i t c u r Definition: Design-Bid-Build t s d o n o h The traditional construction project delivery method, which t C e customarily involves three sequential project phases of design, e M t procurement, and construction, and two distinct contracts, one for a y i r the design phase and one for the construction (build) phase. r e p v o i l r e p p D A t c e e j 1.1 Design-Bid-Build (DBB) h t o When using the DBB construction project delivery method, the designer is generally selected r g P through qualifications-based selection.

Each project requires its own set of general conditions and general requirements that depend on multiple ingredients; most notable ones are size, duration, phasing and location of said project. It is key for an estimator to understand these “ingredients” when generating or estimating such costs as they are certainly one of the most important factors that determine the fate of a project. One of the misconceptions estimators often have when figuring such costs, is that they treat them as a percentage (%) of an overall cost of project; while this approach maybe acceptable for some repetitious small projects with known variables, for larger projects however, these costs must be identified and individually priced.
