APPROACH TO SUBCONTRACTING AND BIDDING WORK PACKAGES

1. Partner Engagement: Ensuring Constructability Input During Preconstruction

Early trade partner engagement involves involving key subcontractors and trade partners during the preconstruction phase of the project, even before the final design is fully completed. By engaging subcontractors at this early stage, they can provide valuable input regarding the constructability of the design, potential challenges, and cost-effective solutions. This collaboration ensures that the design is practical, feasible, and efficient from a construction standpoint.

• When subcontractors are engaged early, they bring real-world expertise and experience to the table. This can help identify potential issues with the design, materials, or construction methods before they become expensive problems during the actual construction process. Additionally, it allows subcontractors to provide feedback on sequencing, scheduling, and resource allocation, all of which contribute to a smoother, more efficient build.

• Early collaboration helps optimize the overall construction plan, ensuring that the design is practical, cost-effective, and executable within the allocated time frame. This proactive engagement helps reduce change orders, schedule delays, and budget overruns, ultimately saving time and money during the project lifecycle.

2. Competitive Bidding: Balancing Cost Efficiency with Quality and Expertise

• Competitive bidding is the process of soliciting bids from multiple subcontractors to ensure that the project is awarded to the most qualified, cost-effective partners. While price is a key consideration, the strategy also emphasizes balancing cost efficiency with quality and specialized expertise. The goal is not just to choose the lowest bidder but to select subcontractors who can meet or exceed the project’s quality and performance standards while staying within budget.

• In construction, choosing the right subcontractor involves more than just comparing costs; it’s about finding partners who bring a combination of expertise, reliability, and value. Competitive bidding ensures that multiple subcontractors are considered, allowing the project team to select those who offer the best overall value rather than simply the lowest price. This approach also incentivizes subcontractors to submit their most competitive bids, which can result in cost savings for the project.

• The outcome of competitive bidding is a balanced approach that maximizes quality, minimizes risks, and keeps the project on budget. By vetting multiple subcontractors based on both cost and expertise, the project team can ensure that high standards of work are maintained, even as costs are controlled.

3. Diversity & Inclusion Commitment: Partnering with Local and MinorityOwned Businesses

• The strategy includes a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, particularly by ensuring that local and minority-owned businesses are given equal opportunities to participate in the project. Partnering with Facilitator One, a diversity-focused organization, helps identify, engage, and support these businesses in bidding for work packages, thereby ensuring equitable access to opportunities within the construction project.

• Ensuring that local and minority-owned businesses have a seat at the table not only supports the community economically but also aligns with broader social responsibility goals. Beyond these obligations, promoting a diverse set of subcontractors fosters innovation and new perspectives, improving the overall quality and success of the project. Engaging with local and minority-owned businesses also creates long-term partnerships that benefit both the project and the community.

STRATEGY FOR MANAGING CRAFT LABOR SHORTAGES

As a design builder we rely heavily on our subcontractors. We can not be successful without them. It is necessary to engage them early. Make sure to properly communicate early and often with them so we are on top of any market conditions that may change. This includes labor shortage. In Charlotte we are fortunate to have a number of really good subcontractors in most trades. We make it a priority to keep good solid working relationships with the sub market. Subs like working for Miles-McClellan. We are proud of these relationships and foster them. They will carry us through any craft labor shortages. The subs are the key to success.

Where possible we Leverage Prefabrication: Reducing Dependency on On-Site Skilled Labor

• Prefabrication involves assembling components of the building or structure off-site, in a controlled environment, before transporting them to the construction site for installation. This method can apply to various building elements, such as wall panels, trusses, HVAC systems, and even complete modular units.

• The pre-engineered metal building structure will help minimize the number of subs involved.

• By using prefabricated elements, the project becomes less dependent on labor availability and more efficient, as factory production is generally less affected by labor shortages than onsite construction. This also leads to reduced on-site construction time and a lower risk of delays, contributing to faster project completion.

Our key subcontractor partners Partner with Local Workforce Programs: Engaging Trade Schools and Apprenticeship Initiatives

• Partnering with local workforce programs, such as trade schools, vocational institutes, and apprenticeship initiatives, creates a pipeline for skilled labor in the area. By collaborating with these institutions, we can help train, recruit, and retain a local workforce that is capable of meeting the demands of the project. Apprenticeship programs are designed to pair less experienced workers with seasoned professionals to foster skill development and prepare them for independent roles.

• Craft labor shortages are often exacerbated by a lack of skilled workers in the local community. By partnering with local programs, we help ensure that the project has access to a workforce that is trained in the specific skills required. Additionally, these partnerships contribute to the local economy and help build a sustainable workforce pipeline for future projects in the region.

• Engaging local trade schools and apprenticeship programs creates a long-term solution to labor shortages by developing a local, skilled labor force. This strategy also reduces the need for costly out-of-area labor, as it draws from the community, reducing the potential for delays due to travel or relocation issues. The local workforce may also be more motivated to deliver quality work, given their connection to the area.

GMP (GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE) DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

1. Progressive Cost Modeling: Aligning Design with Budgetary Constraints

• Progressive cost modeling is an ongoing, dynamic process that adjusts the project’s cost estimate as the design progresses. This ensures that each stage of the design phase is continuously evaluated against the established budget. We will regularly update the City of Charlotte on the evolving cost estimates, incorporating any design changes as they occur.

• Municipal projects, especially those with complex or evolving requirements, require rigorous cost oversight. By incorporating progressive cost modeling, we ensure that design modifications do not result in cost overruns, and any adjustments to the project scope are accurately reflected in the financial projections.

• This process ensures that the final GMP remains firmly within the agreed-upon budget, preventing unexpected cost escalations and ensuring the project is delivered as promised. It gives the City confidence that the final price will meet financial expectations.

2. Subcontractor Pricing Integration: Ensuring Market-Aligned Cost Accuracy

• Subcontractor pricing integration involves gathering detailed pricing from qualified, vetted subcontractors at key stages of the project. This ensures that the prices for labor, materials, and specialized services accurately reflect current market conditions, avoiding estimates that are outdated or based on assumptions.

• Municipal projects often face unique requirements and high standards for materials and labor. By engaging subcontractors early in the process and integrating their pricing into the overall budget, we ensure that the City of Charlotte receives an accurate, competitive price that reflects the latest market trends and complies with local labor and material standards.

• This integration prevents discrepancies between estimated costs and actual prices and avoids potential budget surprises as subcontractor bids are integrated early in the process. The City can be assured that all costs reflect real-time data and competitive pricing, thus avoiding budgetary gaps.

3. Risk Contingency Planning: Safeguarding the Project’s Financials

• Risk contingency planning involves setting aside a pre-determined financial allowance within the GMP for unforeseen issues or changes. These could include site conditions, regulatory changes, or market fluctuations. This allowance provides a safety net that ensures the City’s budget remains intact even if unexpected circumstances arise.

• Every construction project carries an inherent degree of risk. For the City of Charlotte, this contingency is especially important as municipal projects must adhere to strict timelines and public expectations. Our approach ensures that the project is adequately prepared for challenges, without risking the overall financial health of the project.

• By clearly structuring and communicating a contingency plan, the City can be confident that any unforeseen risks will be managed without disrupting the overall budget or schedule. The City will be informed and involved in how contingency funds are utilized, ensuring accountability throughout the process.
