RE: Owner’s Project Manager Services for the Design & Construction of DPW Facilities

Dear Mr. Sanchez & Mr. Hayes:

Thank you for this opportunity to submit our proposal for Owner’s

Project Manager (OPM) Services for the Town of Burlington’s DPW

Facilities building project.

Firm Overview

Founded in 1983 and formerly known as Joslin, Lesser + Associates,

NV5’s Boston OPM practice has a 35-year track record managing the

design and construction of Massachusetts public facilities that is

unsurpassed in the industry. Over the past 10 years, we have provided

OPM services on projects ranging from $2M repairs to large scale new

construction in 30 Massachusetts municipalities, including Amherst,

Amesbury, Arlington, Boston, Billerica, Chelsea, Chicopee, Grafton,

Groton, Harvard, Haverhill, Leicester, Longmeadow, Lunenburg, Lynn,

Merrimac, Milford, New Bedford, Newton, Norfolk, North Andover,

Norton, Peabody, Revere, Southbridge, Stoneham, Uxbridge,

Wakefield, Waltham, Wayland, West Springfield, Wilmington, and

Worcester.

NV5 also has an extensive portfolio of design and construction projects

for DPW, vehicle maintenance and storage facility projects in

Eastern and Central Massachusetts, including new DPW facilities in Everett, Westford, Framingham, and

Westwood, as well as renovations in Boston, Saugus, Winchester, Arlington, Tewksbury, Newton, Chelmsford

and multiple projects in Worcester. We have expertise in designing all of the components of a modern,

functional, and efficient DPW facility, including vehicle exhaust systems, oil/lube overhead drop systems,

oil/water separation floor drains, wet and dry pipe sprinkler systems, raceway design for A/V security system

components, mobile lifts, undercarriage maintenance, electronics rooms, tire carousels, engine/transmission

rooms, paint booths, fire protection/life safety systems, and drive through vehicle wash.

Project Understanding

We understand that while the Town anticipates that design of the entire project will be completed before any

construction begins, construction itself will be divided into two phases to allow projects to occur sequentially while

also providing flexibility to control costs. Phase 1 scope will encompass the renovation

of the Clark & Reid buildings and garage on Great Meadow Road for Recreation

Maintenance and a new truck Wash Bay; an addition on the Clark & Reid site to house

DPW Central Vehicle Maintenance; and reconstruction of fuel pumps at the Town Hall

Annex. Phase 2 scope will consist of a new building on the existing highway garage site,

also on Great Meadow Road, for the DPW Highway and Water/Sewer Divisions.

Phasing construction will allow employees from the current highway garage to be housed

in the Phase 1 facilities while the existing garage is being demolished and the site is being made ready for Phase 2

work.

The construction cost for the work of both phases is estimated to be $32,000,000. While there has been some

discussion of a gap in time between the two phases of construction, any significant gap would require separate

bidding and factors of escalation and project carrying costs. The most economical solution would be to construct

both phases concurrently. Sequential phases with no gap would be the next most economical solution.

The best method for determining possible optimal solutions is to gather information from Owners, managers,

current and potential users, and the neighboring community and to keep all stakeholders involved throughout the

process. With a clear understanding of goals and issues to be addressed, an integrative design approach can be

brought to bear, coordinating an analysis of the options, developing and assessing criteria for success and utilizing

strategic planning concepts.

In our role as OPM, we will work in tandem with the Project Team to assist the process of critical thinking: Can

the existing structure support the intended functions? What are the code implications of a renovation/addition?

What is the structural capacity of the existing pre-engineered building? What are the environmental and permitting

implications of working on the Clark & Reid site? Can construction of the new DPW Facility at 1 Great Meadow

Road occur on an occupied site? Can all DPW functions be consolidated to one site?

There are many issues to consider as the project develops as well as many options and opportunities to explore.

NV5’s job will be to shepherd the Project Team through the process to ensure that the right decisions are made

for the best possible outcome. We look forward to bringing our experience to this project!

Primary Contact

As Principal-in-Charge of NV5’s Boston office, I am authorized to negotiate and execute contracts and will be

the point of contact throughout the selection process. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach

out to me directly.

Thank you again for your consideration. I can assure you of our capacity to support, and our commitment to,

your team throughout this endeavor. We trust you will find our proposal both responsive and competitive, and

we look forward to the opportunity to discuss it at greater length with you and your team.

Newton School Building Program NEWTON, MA

Project Description

The City of Newton engaged NV5 to provide OPM services for

a program of three successive projects for the Angier, Cabot and

Zervas K-5 elementary schools. In collaboration with the

Project Team, NV5 established a clear preferred option for each

site in conjunction with a comprehensive project budget and

critical path schedule. The overall program strategy enabled the

City to preserve the intimate neighborhood schools concept for

elementary education, while increasing the capacity of the system as a whole. NV5 has kept an engaged

citizenry fully apprised of design and construction activities through the use of websites, flyers, brochures and

public meetings.

Angier Elementary (LEED® Gold) and Zervas Elementary (LEED® Silver), both brand new facilities, opened

for students on time and on budget. As OPM’s for the Cabot School, NV5 led the Project Team through an

analysis of eight alternative locations, a process that ultimately identified a rebuild on the existing site as the

most cost effective solution. The project includes renovation of the original historic school building and

construction three new wings to house a gymnasium at the front, a library in the rear and a three-story

classroom/cafeteria wing to the side.

DPW Facilities

C. Project Approach

Having managed hundreds of renovations, additions and new construction projects as OPMs, NV5 has

developed efficient tools and systems and an approach to staffing that address the needs of the Owners we serve

and that ensure a thorough and deliberate management process, open communication, and extensive

documentation of decision-making. We are thoroughly familiar with the 2004 Construction Reform Laws,

including both Chapter 149 and 149A construction delivery methods as well as Chapter 70 requirements for

Designer Selection. We have developed best practices for adhering to all legal and administrative requirements so

that every project we manage, and every client we serve, can benefit from quality construction, open

procurement, and fair labor practices, as the law intends.

Our management approach is rooted in frequent, transparent communication and reporting. Our project

controls process and procedures are focused on tracking large amounts of technical information and presenting it

in concise and user-friendly formats. Throughout planning, design and construction, we will provide the required

oversight to keep the budget and schedule on track while keeping all stakeholders informed.

NV5 values a collegial project management process built on teamwork and transparency, bringing the Owner,

Consultants and Contractors to the table with the Design Team, from the early phases of design through project

close-out, ensuring decisions are collaborative and comprehensive.

Keys to a Successful Project

Strong leadership and guidance from the NV5 team.

Establish a clear project goals & objectives framework that is communicated often to the entire team.

Ensure information is provided to allow timely decisions.

Strong, consistent and frequent communication through meetings, calls, minutes, and reports.

Selecting the appropriate Designer and General Contractor – We will work with you to evaluate the

pros and cons of each candidate and help you select the most experienced team.

Developing a project schedule that supports the collaborative approach with proper reviews and

input.

Establishing a project budget that aligns with the scope of work and the available funding.

We are a Diverse Team of Professionals

Our OPM team is comprised of experienced construction consulting professionals, registered architects, and

engineers, who have successfully managed many public projects. We bring an extraordinary depth of talent and

technical skill to the process with years of experience in strategic planning, design oversight and quality control,

document organization and control, programming, construction management, procurement, FF&E coordination,

move coordination and relocation logistics, and occupant coordination, specifically for public building projects in

Massachusetts. This means our clients benefit from a thorough understanding of planning and design issues,

technical issues, building code requirements, state and local regulations and contract administration from all

angles of our industry.

Project Management is Our Core Team’s Expertise

Our core team is exclusively focused on project management. Our clients are local and state Awarding

Authorities and include school superintendents, university presidents, mayors, and other state and local

administrators and managers. They have municipalities, schools, universities, institutions, and businesses to

oversee while their building and facility projects are underway. With NV5, they get consultation and hands-on

management from a firm whose primary objective is in representing their interests. We are the single point of

contact and a dedicated advocate throughout the entire process of design, construction, and occupancy.


DPW Facilities

C. Project Approach

Communication

Strategic Kickoff Meeting As a standard practice, we lead a client expectation meeting once all key

consultants and project partners are on board. At this time goals and concerns from different perspectives

are discussed, and we have a clear moment in time to set expectations.

Regular Design & Construction Meetings Organized, face-to-face meetings often offer the greatest

efficiency in the decision-making process, so we make them happen consistently.

Monthly Progress Reports NV5 will provide a regular progress report which will include the status of

the project, current budget, updated master schedule, updated milestone schedule, and progress

photographs. Outstanding issues or problems will be identified, along with strategies to resolve them.

Daily Construction Reports Our field representative will provide daily construction updates to keep all

stakeholders informed on progress and to identify and monitor potential risks so that they can be addressed

efficiently to avoid schedule delays and budget impacts

Community Outreach NV5 will assist the Town in organizing and making presentations at community

meetings in order to keep residents informed, solicit and respond to their concerns and build support for

the project. We can also create brochures and dedicated websites and use social media to disseminate

schedules, meeting notices, milestone accomplishments, and other important documents and information.

Websites and social media provide an invaluable platform through which the community can interact

informally and in real time with the project team, requesting information and voicing their opinions.

Software Management Tools: In addition to Microsoft Office suite and other standard business programs,

our team uses industry specific software solutions, including budget4cast for transparent budget

management and Primavera for detailed scheduling.

Virtual Meetings: In addition to our in-person work sessions, conference calls and GoTo Meetings will

allow us to have regular contact and opportunities for decision making in between.

Cloud Based File sharing: We maintain electronic files for all project documentation and can provide

access to all stakeholders with graduating levels of permissions, access and editing rights.

Schedule Development & Management

The cornerstone of an effective management plan is the budget and schedule for the project. We will develop a

Master Project Schedule that will include all critical tasks including design, bidding, construction, furniture,

fixtures and equipment procurement, start-up, and occupancy. The Schedule is a planning tool that we develop

and review with the Project Team on a regular basis to ensure that project tasks are identified and completed on a

timely basis. We will work with the project team to reach a consensus on the Master Project Schedule. We will

require the Contractor to provide a CPM (Critical Path Method) schedule, which clearly identifies project

milestones, long-lead items, dependent activities, float times, and contingency plans. We will review the schedule

on a monthly basis and will require the Contractor to provide a schedule-recovery plan, should the schedule show

any slippage.

Budget Development & Management

We manage the budget from the inception of the project. A cost estimate prepared by NV5’s cost will be

reconciled with the Designer’s cost estimate to ensure the design meets the program and is on budget. NV5 will

manage the cost reconciliation process to make sure that when bids are finally received they will be within budget.

The final budget values are solidified once bids are received. The budget will be carefully managed throughout the

project, to make sure the project stays within approved amounts.


DPW Facilities

C. Project Approach

In managing the budget, we will track all hard and soft costs, including all project commitments and expenditures-

to-date. We will also provide projections of additional costs that may be needed, in order to assess financial risk and

exposure, and continually update the formal budget on a monthly basis. We will rigorously review Change Order

Requests to ensure that they are reasonable and that full value is being received by the Owner. The budget, while

continuously being managed, will be formally updated on a monthly basis and provided for review and discussion

with all stakeholders at the monthly Building Committee Meetings.

Quality Management

Excellent documentation at every phase is essential to the quality of the final product. During the design phases,

NV5 will engage the Project Team in design review meetings to develop documents that are consistent and that

accurately reflect the Owner’s intentions, which is critical to limiting change orders and preventing project delays.

NV5 will review the final Contract Documents, in the form of plans and specifications, for quality, completeness,

constructability, compliance with program requirements and for issues related to phasing and coordination of the

various construction trades.

During Construction, our team, including our field representative, will diligently review project progress on a daily

basis and proactively advise the Owner about activities, conditions or circumstances that could affect the

schedule, budget or quality, or that otherwise raise concerns, and we will recommend corrective actions.

Case Studies: Project Examples

1. Southbridge Middle/High School, Southbridge, MA - The Southbridge Middle/High School site is

located on a large undeveloped parcel of land in a remote area of town, requiring significant site work and

utility infrastructure improvements to support the construction of the new facility. Given a restrictive cap on

site work costs in the budget, there was significant risk in exceeding the Town’s funding limitations for the

complete site package, including the entire desired athletics program. NV5 developed a strategy to define a

portion of the athletics fields scope as a bid alternate and bring a CM on board early in order to release early

site, foundation and steel packages to accelerate schedule and capitalize on a competitive bidding

climate. Upon completion of the initial site work and final buyout of the remaining scope, a risk analysis was

completed to forecast the Town’s share of the base scope and determine that buyout savings and contingency

could be allocated to funding the athletics field bid alternate, while still maintaining sufficient

contingency. This strategy allowed pricing for the scope in question to be submitted competitively, yet

deferred the need to make a decision on proceeding with it until after the most risk prone scope was

complete, ultimately resulting in the Town’s ability to complete the full athletics field program within its

funding limitations.

2. Utility Corridor & Roadway Reconstruction (UCRR), UMass Boston - The UCRR project at UMass

Boston includes the construction of a complete new utility infrastructure loop around the perimeter of the

campus. The campus was constructed in the 1970’s on an old municipal landfill, with subsurface conditions

comprised of highly variable and contaminated landfill soils. Construction of the new utilities requires

the displacement of approximately 200,000 tons of landfill material. In order to mitigate the significant cost

associated with the off-site disposal of contaminated material, a project team charrette was organized to

review all opportunities to reduce the volume of displaced material and retain as much material in landforms

created in available open space within the campus. These areas included parking lots, future development

sites and regrading of landscape areas. Following a thorough review of the impacts to campus operations and

integration with the master plan intent, the list was narrowed down to those considered permanent, and not

simply deferring the cost, ultimately saving approximately $10M in cost.


DPW Facilities

C. Project Approach

3. Gibbs School, Arlington To achieve LEED® Silver, the architect specified windows that would help the

building meet LEED® standard. The window scope was above and beyond the typical window standards for

schools due to the higher standards in LEED® version 4 and to the fact that the project was a renovation and

the existing building was not well insulated. We worked with the architect to find alternative windows that

accomplished the LEED® requirement while reducing cost and lead time on delivery of the windows, resulting

in substantial savings for the Town of Arlington.

4. Thurgood Marshall Middle School, Lynn, MA The City of Lynn faced budget challenges with the

construction of the Thurgood Marshall Middle School, and the

biggest hurdle was getting the project funding passed by the

residents. When the funding vote succeeded, the City made it

very clear that the established construction budget could not

be exceeded regardless of unforeseen construction issues.

NV5 led a collaborative team approach involving the Owner,

the Architects/Engineers and Construction Manager to

develop scope and budget categories accounting for potential

risks and thereby creating a guaranteed maximum price that

could not be exceeded. This team approach took full advantage of the collective knowledge of all participants

to fill in all holes in the construction documents and to effectively plan within the established budget for the

inevitable unforeseen issues. With a balanced and informed approach to the budget, the project was completed

under the guaranteed maximum price. There were no external change orders and $280,000 was returned to the

City allowing it to keep its promise to residents.

Tim Dorman, MCPPO

Senior Project Manager

Trained as a Civil Engineer, Tim has been a senior member of

NV5’s OPM group in Massachusetts for nearly 10 years. As

Project Director, he has shepherded the $260M construction

of an entirely new utility infrastructure and roadway system on

the UMass Boston campus, a complex 5-year project slated

for completion this summer. This project has required careful

logistical planning to continue operations of existing campus

buildings, support the construction of five new campus

buildings in parallel and provide flexible infrastructure for the

eventual buildout of the 25-year campus master plan.

Tim also was the Project Manager for the Southbridge Middle/High School,

completed in 2012, one of the first projects designed and constructed with funding

from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA). Ultimately completed

ahead of schedule and under budget, this project presented several challenges

including unique programming requirements in combining a middle and high

school, rapidly escalating market conditions, a large site/utility package and tight

budgetary constraints.

Tim’s expertise includes large multi-phase projects, public procurement,

scheduling, cost control/value engineering, document review, and complex state

and local permitting processes, including MEPA and Conservation Commission

review under the Wetlands Protection Act,

NV5 is proposing a core

team of seasoned OPM

professionals focused on

public construction in

Massachusetts and with

significant experience in the

Ch. 149/Design-Bid/Build

construction delivery method.

Our team will be led by Lynn

Stapleton, AIA, LEED®

AP, MCPPO. Lynn has

more than 30 years of

experience as an architect and

OPM working in cities and

towns across Massachusetts.

Over the past five years, she has managed more $455M in public construction projects. Senior Project Manager

Tim Dorman, MCPPO, will be the Town’s day-to-day contact for the duration of the project. Educated as a

civil engineer, he has nearly 20 years of experience in design and construction and has been an integral part of

NV5’s OPM team since 2009. For the past 5 years, Tim has led NV5’s OPM team for a $260M infrastructure

reconstruction project covering the UMass Boston Campus. Both Lynn and Tim have extensive knowledge of the

Massachusetts Building Code, the Stretch Code, MAAB/ADA and other codes and regulations. Together their

wealth of knowledge and technical competence will help the Town of Burlington design and construct DPW

Facilities in keeping with the intentions of the law – providing a safe, healthy, and energy efficient

environment that is accessible to all.

For Clerk of the Works during construction, we are proposing two alternatives – Rob Griffin, PE, or Bill

Shaw, RA, as full-time Clerk of the Works during construction. Both gentlemen have more than 30 years of

experience in the construction of large scale public building projects in Massachusetts and across New England.

While currently assigned to large scale public projects, they will be available beginning in 2019.

Supporting our core OPM team with Design Review/Quality Control as needed will be engineers/project

managers from NV5’s Boston and Andover offices. This group specializes in energy efficient design of

Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Protection systems and has an extensive portfolio of DPW and

vehicle maintenance facilities in Massachusetts and throughout New England. This team of internal resources

will be led Chris Hildreth, PE, LEED® AP, who has more than 30 years of experience.

Our entire team will be supported by Principal in Charge Pat Murphy, who will ensure they have whatever

resources are needed to support the project.

Contingency Plans

While we do not anticipate any turnover in our proposed team, locally we have a deep bench of 20 veteran OPM

professionals in our Boston office, each with an average of 25 years of experience and each of whom specializes

in helping municipalities in Massachusetts manage successful building projects.
