2-4.2: WORK PLAN
OVERALL APPROACH: We understand that the following updates and upgrades are needed in the Senate Office, North Office Building (NOB)
located at the Capital Complex in Harrisburg, PA: • Renovation of Senate office spaces on the ground
and first floors.
• Renovation of the first-floor library
• Renovations and modifications of the building’s public toilet
rooms (16 total)
• Hazardous material abatement
• Other minor items such as cleaning of the marble
wainscoting on the ground and first floors
• Removal / Replacement of drinking fountains (up to 14
total) and
• Relocations/Modification of data closets
We acknowledge that the overall design intent for this project is already captured in the bridging documents and should be adhered to. We also note that the electrical and mechanical requirements stated in these documents are vital to operations
within the building and should be followed. We also understand that since this is a phased occupied construction project,
these updates need to be designed and implemented with minimal disruption to the work flow of other occupants in the
senate building. Therefore, should there be any need for interruption to the buildings’ services for construction work, ample notice will be provided so that it can be conveniently scheduled.
Code Compliance & Permits
The design solutions proffered will meet the Uniform Construction Code (UCC) of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s
statewide building codes. We will review all local, state and federal building code requirements to verify the authority
having jurisdiction. We will review and ascertain the pertinence of the IBC 2015, NFPA 70-2014, National Electric Code, IECC 2015, IEBC 2015, IFC 2015, IMC 2015, IPC 2015, ICC A117.1-2009 and Title III of the ADA, specifically ADAAG
2010, and comply as stated in the bridging documents.
As needed, we will prepare and submit construction documentation drawings for agency review and approval. We will also submit and obtain building plan approval from the Department of Labor and Industry.
PROJECT APPROACH: Based on our understanding of the needs stated above, we will engage in a three-step process to create a supportive
and high-quality working environment in the Senate Offices and Library of the North Office building (NOB) and
implement the minor renovation work required. We describe the steps below:
Problem Finding
It is important that we have a thorough understanding of the unique qualities of the Senate Offices, Library and other portions
of North Office Building (NOB) affected by this project. We achieve this in the problem finding step by conducting a
detailed investigation of existing conditions at the building, its specific renovation areas and its immediate site. First, we
will take another deep dive into the bridging documents before beginning our physical conditions assessment of the project areas. We, along with our construction partner and consultants, will assess and verify existing mechanical, electrical,
plumbing, security and fire-alarm systems to ascertain its pertinence and sufficiency to meet the needs of users as stated in
the bridging documents. Using up-to-date technology such as Newforma mobile apps on tablets, we will document project areas and items of historic significance in field reports for team use.
We will also identify areas that require hazardous materials abatement and deploy our 3D scanning technology where
necessary. We will review the locations of the drinking fountains, data closets as well as the marble areas that require
cleaning. We will also consider existing design gestures within the senate office space and investigate ways in which these might be incorporated into the project. In conjunction with our construction partner, we will also conduct some site analysis
to identify possible areas for construction staging both within and outside the building so that pedestrian and vehicular
traffic are minimally impacted.
Outcomes from this effort will be compared with guidelines in the bridging documents and any areas that require resolution
will be noted. Once we gain comprehensive knowledge of the project areas, its constraints and parameters, we will document our findings and field reports in a Problem Finding Existing Conditions Report and upload this in e-Builder. This step is
crucial for us because it enables us to have informed conversations with the stakeholders in our next step.
2-4.2: WORK PLAN Problem Shaping
Out next step is problem-shaping. This step is our planning and programming phase in which we will review
and confirm the existing program as captured in the Request for Proposal and bridging documents with all
project stakeholders including PA DGS representatives, the Senate Offices representatives, NOB building
facility managers, and other identified users. We plan to have this meeting after our initial problem finding
steps so that we are fully knowledgeable about the building as we discuss the objectives and requirements for
the project. Also, it allows us to present areas of potential concern early and efficiently.
In this meeting, we will verify the existing building program using our proprietary Warehaus programming and
planning questionnaires to ascertain current needs and potential for future growth. We will seek to understand
how the Senate Offices, Library and data closet are used and ask for insights into movement patterns and
preferred entry ways. We will like to know when the key project areas (particularly the public toilet rooms) are
busiest so that this can inform our design and help our construction partner with planning and phasing. We will
also observe the various roles within the affected senate offices and make note of workflow processes and task
inter-relationships.
In addition, we will investigate the ways in which the project areas of the NOB supporting the designated
activities within and identify its strengths and weaknesses. Drawing on design strategies such as biophilic and
well-building design guidelines, we will consider ways in which it meets best practices requirements such as
visual and non-visual connectivity with nature, dynamic and diffused lighting, thermal and airflow variability
and non-rhythmic sensory stimuli. We will note areas where there are opportunities for improvement and take
these into consideration during the design.
Information gathered and confirmed from this process (and any recommendations we have) will then be
documented in our Problem Shaping Statement and Program documents and uploaded in e-Builder for
review. We will then schedule a meeting with all stakeholders to discuss its contents relative to the bridging
documents. We will seek for consensus among all stakeholders on programmatic items and other systemic
requirements that need to be revised, adjusted, and prioritized. Any changes will be noted and updated in the
documents and uploaded into e-builder for reference. Problem Solving
The problem-solving step is where the myriad issues surrounding the renovation and modification of NOB finds
a resolution and the DGS and Senate’s facility goals are achieved. Proposed design solutions will be driven by
outcomes from our investigative process in the planning, programming and research phase, as well as the
existing conditions assessments. Workspaces will be laid out so that they improve the workflow processes in
the Senate Office departments and the library designed to maximize access, use and storage. The public
bathrooms will be redesigned to become a true space for repose as well as
meet all code and ADA requirements. Areas of minor modifications will also be carefully specified so that the
implementation of work in the areas enhance the NOB.
Overall, we will maximize access to daylight and views and incorporate both visual and non-visual access to
nature. Opportunities to provide adaptable indoor climate conditions will be explored so that workers can feel
comfortable when deploying their skills. Aesthetically, we will integrate the new with the old cohesively and
create an invigorating working ambience. We will seek to unify the existing and new spaces seamlessly so that
the Senate Offices will sport an updated but coherent feel.
2-4.2: WORK PLAN
DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS Design
Our team will prepare design and construction documents, including specifications for this project.
Design disciplines include: • Architectural
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Plumbing
• IT Design Engineer
For both design phases (Preliminary and Final Design), we will develop documents that conform to DGS’s project manual requirements and the formats provided at the orientation conference. We will upload each submission prior to the
submission date to E-Builder. Each submission will be followed by a review meeting with DGS and the Senate. Following
each submission review meeting, our team will prepare and distribute written responses to all review comments. More detailed information regarding our approach to the specific design phases is included below.
Preliminary Design Submission
Based on the results of the Program Confirmation and Site Investigations understanding, we will develop a revised/updated
diagrammatic floor plan. The diagrammatic floor plan will illustrate the programmatic and project requirements. This first
design step will be addressed through developing optional diagrammatic layouts intended to either confirm the existing diagrammatic layout included in the RFP or determine a more optimal layout and use of the existing space.
Building Drawings | Following the confirmation of the Program and Project Requirements and Site Investigations, in coordination with our contractor partner, the design team will develop more detailed drawings intended to illustrate,
coordinate, quantify and qualify all relevant building systems and equipment associated with the project. The drawings
will delineate between existing building systems and equipment to remain, or to be altered/upgraded along with the installation of new building materials, systems and equipment. Details regarding coordination of the installation of new
building materials and equipment with existing systems and equipment will also be developed.
Specifications | Technical specifications will be developed along a similar schedule as the design documents. Sufficient information, back-up material, cut-sheets, and data will be included to provide enough detail to describe the materials and
equipment proposed.
Administrative Items | During the Preliminary Design phase, our team will engage in meetings with DGS and Client
Agency Staff and appropriate stakeholders to complete the Program Confirmation and Site Investigation work. We will
document the results of those meeting(s), which will be uploaded to the project directory via E-Builder. As the design
progresses, we anticipate conducting additional conference calls for coordination of the development of the design, clarifying project requirements and/or coordination with facility operations. The results of any conference calls or meeting
will be documented and submitted through E-Builder. And finally, the design team will work through the review and
acceptance process for both the Agency and DGS acceptance for the Preliminary Design Submission including attending a Review Conference. Meeting Minutes for the review conference will be submitted through E-Builder promptly following
the Review Conference.
Final Design Documents Submission
As the project evolves into final construction documents, we will provide drawings and specifications for the selected
building systems as well as further refine the design components from the Preliminary Design Submission. More detailed project reviews with the project team will occur during this phase to verify that the design is responsive to the project
requirements.
For this Final Design Documents Submission, we will provide final construction details and layouts, specifications for all
materials, building systems, and equipment along with administrative requirements to support construction. All that were
generated during review of the Preliminary Design Submission will be addressed and incorporated into the final design documents.
2-4.2: WORK PLAN
Our design-build team has experience with projects where phasing and minimizing disruption is critical. We are sensitive
to the unique requirements of operating facilities during construction. We are experienced developing phasing that take into account security, safety, access, and schedules to minimize disruption and respond to sensitive and ongoing operating
requirements.
In addition, our team will prepare and submit the construction documents, as required, to the applicable local and state
agencies for review and approval. We will submit and obtain building plan approval from the Department of Labor and
Industry.
Design-Build Concept
During initial phases, the design team will work to confirm and understand the project requirements and operational needs
to quickly incorporate into preliminary design options. To realize the efficiency of design build delivery, our team will be focused on confirming a design approach early in the process.
Understanding the Design-Build Process:
• The design-build team understands that the project’s success is dependent on the ability of the team members to work
collaboratively with the knowledge that each member is committed to working in the best interests of the project.
• It is the intent of this team that the project be staffed with key team members that have experience in the implementation
of design-build best practices, and who recognize the collaborative nature of the design-build process.
Establishing logistics and infrastructure to support integrated project delivery:
• Our team intends to ensure that the administrative processes established for the execution of the project are appropriate,
well-understood and expeditious.
• To the degree feasible, we will strive to have the design and construction team working in an integrated fashion as
much as possible, in-person meetings, tele-video conference calls, etc.
Establishing processes to facilitate timely and effective communication, collaboration, and issue resolution:
• Our team intends to develop and use a structured partnering process, scaled appropriately to reflect the size and
complexity of the project.
• Our team intends to develop processes that enables key DGS stakeholders to interface directly with the design-build team on significant elements of the work.
• Our team intends to facilitate a process that enables critical and timely decision-making of the Owner. For this to occur
effectively, it is our assumption that the “owner” will be represented by staff that as the authority to make decisions and
perform its project functions.
Conducting/leading design management and turnover processes to ensure alignment among the team as to project
execution processes:
• Our team acknowledges the significant level of effort required to manage the development and review of the design
and, consequently: (a) dedicate sufficient resources to foster a collaborative environment for this work; and (b) mutually develop a realistic design development plan that efficiently engages the owner and key members of the design-builder’s
team (e.g., designer(s)-of-record and key subcontractors) in purposeful meetings.
• Our team intends to work with the “Owner” early when initiating the project to agree upon clear, realistic and
expeditious submittal and review/approval processes that are in alignment with the parties’ schedule and other project-specific goals.
• Our team will ensure that design advancement and changes to the contract documents are clearly, thoroughly, and
contemporaneously documented, and that there is a clear understanding as to when the owner is integrated into the
decision-making process for and notified of such advancement and changes.
• Our team intends to: (a) establish a trend system early in the design development process to identify, track and evaluate
any potential changes before they adversely impact the project’s cost or schedule; (b) clearly, thoroughly, and contemporaneously communicate to the owner the information derived from the trend system; and (c) maintain the trend
system throughout the construction process until it is no longer needed.
2-4.2: WORK PLAN
POTENTIAL DESIGN ISSUES Following, or in connection with the orientation conference, our team will meet with key project stakeholders to review and
confirm existing conditions and to ask in-depth questions to support confirming or altering the project requirements and diagrammatic layouts.
Programming is that step in our process that seeks to identify the issues and problems the design process must address and
resolve. We will lead the process to confirm internal user needs, analyze the previously developed diagrammatic layout and existing building and site conditions, outline needed agency approvals, and work with our build partner to plan for the design
and construction phases to follow.
In addition, we will focus on the following important issues and concerns that we feel are critical to delivering a successful
project and enabling project collaboration and ongoing technical support.
Challenge: Minimize facility interruptions through phasing plan.
Solution: We will implement a thorough site logistics orientation program for all employees and subcontractors. Our site representatives will also walk the project at the beginning and end of each day to ensure all areas are
clean with tools and equipment properly stored.
Challenge: Minimize impact on the environment through sustainability
Solution: Our designers and engineers will look for opportunities to incorporate sustainable design strategies into
your project. When we offer sustainable design strategies, we ensure that the solution provided is sensible
to the project, works within the project budget, and offers a long-term benefit without introducing any un-
needed operational complexities.

- Renovate 4th Floor Men’s and Women’s Restrooms
Sequence 3
- Renovate Portion of Ground Floor Office Spaces
- Renovate Basement Men’s and Women’s Restrooms
Sequence 4
- Renovate remaining Ground Floor Office Spaces
Per the written narrative, sequences must be completed and Certificates of Occupancy (COO) must be obtained
prior to starting the subsequent sequence. Based on our walkthrough, we understand that the Client Agency will be relocating staff members to accommodate the construction project and a major objective of this project is to
provide them with proper notification. Therefore, we will be regularly updating the project schedule based on
status of sequences and anticipated completion and starting dates. These updates will be provided to the
Department of Client Agency at the bi-weekly job conferences or as needed.
The proposed renovations to the office spaces occur near or adjacent to areas that will be occupied by staff
members. We understand that prevention of dust into those areas is important to both the Client Agency and the Department. As such, we have included the provision of dust control methods that will include temporary
barriers between our construction zone and other areas. Furthermore, we will utilize negative air machines, as
necessary, to keep dust and other airborne contaminants within the construction zone.
2-4.2: WORK PLAN Per the project documents, the existing flooring in the corridors is not to be removed. We recognize that,
because our construction operations require us to utilize these areas, the flooring will need to be protected from
damage. We have included the installation of protective material over the existing flooring which will be in place throughout the duration of each sequence and will be suitable to sustain our construction equipment. If at
any time this material becomes damaged and can no longer provide necessary protection, it will be immediately
removed and replaced.
Selective Demolition
The RFP documents state that certain materials that are to be removed contain asbestos which requires, per
standard construction practice, the adherence to very specific and strict guidelines. The subcontractor we will employ to remove asbestos containing materials, has a deep knowledge and expertise in this process.
Certifications and/or resumes will be provided to the Department prior to commencing removal of asbestos. Prior
to removing asbestos containing material, the area will be quarantined using plastic sheeting taped at the perimeter. Signs will be placed outside the protected area to alert personal of asbestos removing activities and
prohibit them from entering the area. Walk off mats will be placed outside the barrier entrances to prevent the
spreading of asbestos by foot traffic. Employees who are responsible to remove asbestos shall be required to wear protective suits and respirator masks to eliminate health risks. Materials containing asbestos shall be placed
in a plastic bag and taped shut prior to leaving the quarantined area. The material will then be removed from the
site and disposed of at an approved facility.
Materials that are selected to be demolished will be removed by the designated freight elevator located within the North Office Building. Existing flooring adhesives to be removed will be diamond ground down to the existing
substrate. We have assumed that the existing substrate is within acceptable tolerances to accept new finishes and
therefore have not included any floor repair, however, we will perform Floor Flatness (FF) and Levelness (FL) testing if needed.
Marble Cleaning and Repairs
For the Marble Cleaning on the Ground and First Floor Corridors, we will employ a subcontractor who is skilled
in this area and has extensive knowledge of effective marble cleaning products/processes, salvaging of existing
marble, dutchmen repairs, etc. JEM intends to employ a subcontractor who has specifically performed work in
Pennsylvania Capitol Projects previously. For the Marble Repairs at the water fountains, we have assumed there is enough material available within the abandoned stairwell to complete the repairs. Repair of stairwell walls
harvested for marble is not included. The performance of the Marble Cleaning will take place near the end of the
respective sequences when dust has subsided.

MANAGING & MINIMIZING RISK
In an effort to manage and minimize DGS’s risk in the design-build process, JEM Group utilizes the following methods
based on past experience and knowledge of DGS projects:
JEM Group maintains a standard for a clean, orderly and organized jobsite, creating an atmosphere conducive to safety and
quality performance. This standard is the result of proper and organized planning that begins from the Letter of Intent and extends throughout construction. Immediately following the Initial Job Conference, we will meet withto thoroughly
understand the Department’s operations and site logistics. We will then coordinate with the subcontractors to ensure that
we have a mutual understanding of the site and what is expected of each party.
CRITICAL ISSUES
Coordination with Design Professional Team
Having worked on DGS Design Build projects in the past, JEM Group has learned that successful projects depend on strong
coordination between the Design Professional Team and the Department. The following are lessons learned we would bring
to this project:
1. Unhindered flow of information between the Professional, JEM Group, and the Department.
2. Consistent and regular communication between JEM Group and the Professional
3. Early understanding of Project Code Requirements including all applicable International Codes.
4. Early analysis of existing conditions including mechanical and electrical systems.
5. Thorough understanding of the Design Process
To ensure success in these areas, one of the first actions that JEM will take once awarded the project is to
direct their Design Professional to review and analyze the information provided in the RFP documents. The
purpose of this review is to determine if there is any missing critical information that could potentially hinder
the Team from completing their design. If key information is missing, JEM Group will submit a request for
this information from the Department or will direct the Design Professional Team to obtain the information
from existing site conditions. JEM Group has learned missing and incomplete information slows the design
process and by recognizing and obtaining this information early will assist in avoiding potential schedule
impacts later in the project.
Furthermore, JEM Group will be holding weekly meetings with the Design Build Team. Items to be discussed will include, among others, the following: Status of Design, potential issues and solutions, critical tasks,
milestones, etc. By holding these regular meetings, JEM Group will be able to recognize potential impacts to the
Design Schedule and work with the team to resolve those issues.
Public Bid
As part of the Design Build Process, JEM Group understands that we must meet the Requirements of the
Separations Act which include the public solicitation of the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Scopes of Work. JEM Group will utilize a process that has been used successful on our past DGS Design Build Project. A
more detailed narrative will be provided after award of the Contract but generally, the process shall be as
follows:
1) Completion and Approval of Construction Documents by the Department.
2) Posting of bid documents to a public bid advertisement module and the Department’s emarketplace. Bid
Documents to include drawings, specifications, Summary of Work, JEM Group’s Safety Policy, etc.
3) Pre-Proposal Meeting for interested parties to attend.
4) Period of time for interested parties to submit RFI’s and response by the Design Professional Team.
5) Public Bid Opening to be held in the presence of the Department’s Representative
6) Period of Time for Protests
7) Award of Bid and submission of Notarized Affidavit to the Department.
2-4.2: WORK PLAN
Coordination with Subcontractors
We understand that coordination between subcontractors will be key component for project success. We will utilize key
subcontractors which will include, among others, the following: Demolition, Metal Studs and Gypsum Board, Acoustical
Ceiling, Flooring, Mechanical, and Electrical. As the Design Build Contractor, JEM Group will coordinate the efforts subcontractors from start to finish. Key components including sharing submittal information, sequencing the work in
accordance with the project schedule, and ensuring adherence to specific site usage requirements. Upon receiving the Letter
of Intent from DGS, JEM Group will contract with the selected subcontractors.
Key Coordination items include:
- Site Layout and Safety Requirements
- Submittals
- Material Purchase and Delivery
- Project sequence, schedule and budget
We will ensure that the subcontractors and on-site workers understand the Owner’s expectations, the design
intent, as well as the project budget and schedule. Bi-weekly job conferences with the project team – Owner,
architects, contractor and key subcontractors – aligns Owner expectations and design intent with the work to be
complete. Weekly coordination meetings with the superintendent and site workers ensure that everyone understands their role and the work to be completed that week.
Coordination with DGS
Given the experience that has been obtained by working on multiple DGS projects, JEM Group has learned successful
projects require more than just “Owner-Contractor” mentality. They also require an Owner-Contractor team mentality in
which DGS, the Professional, and JEM Group share collaborative efforts to complete a successful project. Given this knowledge JEM Group has learned that coordination with DGS and the Professional require the following:
- When project challenges arise, effectively dictating those challenges to the team.
- Offering, where capable, solutions to project challenges and presenting them to the team.
- Understanding the overall design intent of the project.
ADHERENCE TO CONTRACT SEQUENCES AND WORK AREA SEPARATION We understand the work will be sequenced as follows:
1. Establishment of Dust Protection 2. Renovation of First Floor Office Spaces, First Floor Library, and Restrooms on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th floors.
3. Renovation of Ground Floor Office Space and Restrooms on the Ground Floor, 2nd Floor, and 4th Floors.
4. Renovate Restrooms 5. Renovate Ground Floor Office Space.
Addressing schedule slippage is critical on a project with multiple deadlines. Jem Group uses several techniques to monitor schedule progress on a regular basis to detect slippage early and take immediate measures to conteract it:
- We utilized well-coordinated CPM schedule that brings together our broad construction experience while
incorporating subcontractor input. This creates ownership and buy-in by all companies involved in the project.
We plan six to eight weeks in advance on a weekly basis, verifying material deliveries, holding pre-installation
meetings, and pressing for swift resolution of open issues. - We hold weekly pull forward white board planning sessions with all trades to address the past week
performance and the upcoming weeks workload. These sessions also look several weeks in the future to keep
upcoming milestone objectives clearly in sight. - If slippage is detected, recovery planning sessions are held with the responsible trades to develop and
implement immediate action toward getting back on schedule.
- Coordination of site operations with our subcontractors and other trade contractors to ensure an efficient
workflow.
2-4.2: WORK PLAN
SITE OPERATIONS, LOGISTICS, JOBSITE CONTROLS, & PRACTICES JEM Group maintains a standard for a clean, orderly and organized jobsite, creating an atmosphere conducive to safety and
quality performance. This standard is the result of proper and organized planning that begins from the Letter of Intent and extends throughout construction. Immediately following the Initial Job Conference, we will meet with DGS to thoroughly
understand the Department’s operations and site logistics. We will then coordinate with the subcontractors to ensure that
we have a mutual understanding of the site and what is expected of each party. Based on information provided in the bidding
documents, we have already started planning the following items: - Employee and subcontractor orientation prior to site mobilization.
- Meticulous material coordination – timely deliveries, proper and secure storage, easy accessibility when work
begins. - Multi-sequence project coordination and timing
Document Control
From our previous work with DGS, we understand that we will utilize e-Builder for all project management and document
controls. Because e-Builder is not accessible to our subcontractors, we incorporate additional software tools for better
collaboration with the trades. These include document management systems, such as Sage, Bluebeam, Microsoft Project, and SharePoint.
Sage Project Management & SharePoint create a document database management tool with a broad range of capabilities. These software platforms allow complete sharing of project data to all project stakeholders: DGS, subcontractors, etc.
Recent versions have provided web-based access from any internet connection via the issuance of discrete user names and
passwords.
Some of the benefits of our document management approach include:
- Provides visibility into subcontractor performance - Enables timely payment for completed work to avoid claims and resolve disputes
- Enables users to respond to information requests by cross referencing and linking documents for quick and
easy retrieval
- Maintains historical data that can be used for the life of the project
By utilizing the latest proven technologies into the project, we empower a collaborative environment amongst all stakeholders, enabling the project to succeed with the greatest efficiency, quality and safety.
Microsoft Project 2016: scheduling software provides an expanded level of control in comparison to previous versions of
this product. It is designed to handle large-scale, highly sophisticated, multifaceted projects, and can manage projects with up to 100,000 discrete activities. Some of the Microsoft Project benefits include:
- Plan, schedule and control complex projects
- Allocate best resources and track progress - Monitor and visualize project performance vs. plan
- Conduct what-if analysis and analyze alternative project plans
SAFETY PLAN, MANAGEMENT, & MONITORING
Standard Safety Policy
Our philosophy on well-being on all our projects is that it is our responsibility to ensure safety on our jobsites. Our on-site
project superintendent. We will require each subcontractor to submit their safety program and SDS program for review. Copies will be maintained in our office trailer, should a need for their use arise.
We will also meet with your representatives and adopt any additional safety requirements for the project site. We will
monitor safety rules to the subcontractors at the pre-installation meetings and weekly foremen meetings. In addition, we will also communicate these rules to all subcontractors at the job conferences.
“Toolbox Meetings” are held weekly by the Site Superintendent and the trade foremen. During the meeting, the “Toolbox” newsletter is discussed, project safety is reviewed, concerns are noted, suggestions are made, and next steps are laid out.
2-4.2: WORK PLAN Safety Training Programs / Certifications
Each of our project managers are required to complete OSHA’s 30-hour certification program. In addition, all project
superintendents are required to have completed the 30-hour OSHA safety training course and maintain a current First Aid and CPR card. We also have a company Safety Committee comprised of project superintendents, project managers and field
foremen. Their proactive approach to safety will assure you of a safe, efficient project. Our subcontract agreement requires
all subcontractors to have, at a minimum, one person on-site who has completed the 10-hour OSHA training course.
JEM Group has also partnered with the OSHA Consultation Program and we are an active participant and utilize it on most
of our projects. Our established safety program includes:
Procedure
We have a firm commitment to provide and maintain a safe working environment on all our projects. It is the policy of our
management that all practical efforts are made to provide a safe and healthy workplace, and to do everything reasonable to protect jobsite personnel, owner’s personnel, the public and property from accident or harm. To be effective, the safety
program requires full effort and attention from all members of the project team.
Written Safety Program
• All of our project managers, field managers and on-site team members are required to follow the Safety Program.
• We ensure that all our programs coordinate with those required by OSHA.
• Our on-site supervisory staff members are required to have 30-hour OSHA certification. The project superintendent
serves as the daily on-site safety officer.
• Rick Scott will visit the site on a regular basis to focus on safety, quality and schedule adherence.
Safety Walk-Thru’s & Reviews
In order to ensure that all parties involved with the project understand the safety program, we implement the following
strategies:
• Daily safety walk-throughs of the project site and results
recorded
• Weekly site safety meetings
• Hazard Analysis form is required for each task
• Monthly Audit
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL Our goal with every project is to construct it right the first time. Gary Mizla, our on-site Superintendent, is our first line of
defense, and he will monitor quality daily. We understand that all work must conform to the contract documents and that expectations are set with all subcontractors and suppliers.
Quality Control Program
Quality control represents an increasingly important concern for the Design-Build team. Defects or failures in constructed
facilities can result in very large costs. Even with minor defects, re-construction may be required and facility operations
impaired. Increased costs and delays are the result. The team wants to ensure that the job is done right the first time.
As with cost control, the most important decisions regarding the quality of a completed facility are made during the design
and planning stages rather than during construction. It is during these preliminary stages that component configurations,
material specifications and functional performance are decided. Quality control during construction consists largely of insuring conformance to the original design and planning decisions.
With the attention to conformance as the measure of quality during the construction process, the specification of quality
requirements in the design and contract documentation becomes extremely important. Quality requirements should be clear, so that all parties in the project can understand the requirements for conformance.
2-4.2: WORK PLAN While the construction process sometimes requires the services of inspectors, we cannot emphasize strongly enough, that
inspectors are only a formal check on quality control. Quality control should be a primary objective for ALL the employees
of the Design-Build team. Employees should take responsibility for maintaining and improving quality control. Employee participation will be encouraged in quality control, including the introduction of new ideas. Most important of all, quality
improvement can serve as a stepping stone for improved productivity. By suggesting new work methods, by avoiding
rework, and by avoiding long term problems, good quality control can pay for itself. JEM Group will lead the team to promote good quality control and seek out contractors who maintain such standards.
Quality control in construction typically involves insuring compliance with minimum standards of material and
workmanship. In contrast, to the traditional approach of quality control, is the goal of total quality control. Total quality control is a commitment to quality expressed in all parts of the organization and typically involves many elements. Design
reviews to insure safe and effective construction procedures are a major element. Other elements include extensive training
for personnel, shifting the responsibility for detecting defects from quality control inspectors to workers, and continually maintaining equipment. Workers involvement in improved quality control will be formalized by the Quality Control
Committees.
The Design-Build team has adopted, what many companies have already found, that a commitment to total quality control
has substantial economic benefits that had been unappreciated in traditional approaches. Expenses associated with inventory,
rework, scrap and warranties were reduced. Worker enthusiasm and commitment improved. Customers often appreciated
higher quality work and would pay a premium for good quality. As a result, improved quality control becomes a competitive advantage.
CLOSEOUT PROCESS When we have reached substantial completion, we will ensure that all work required by the contract was been performed; that all work strictly complies with the plans, specifications and approved submittals; and that all and documentation has
been properly performed and submitted in accordance with the requirements of the specifications. Concurrently, we will
generate a checklist for action. This checklist will itemize all close-out documents required (as-built drawings, O&M manuals, guarantees, maintenance bonds, certification for materials, equipment and/or labor, testing lab reports, general
releases, etc.) Once we confirm that we have properly addressed our list of incomplete and/or defective work, we will
request that DGS and the architects prepare a punch list. After we complete these punch list items, we will issue a letter to
DGS certifying final completion of our work and requesting final inspection. After verification, we will request final completion acceptance.
2.4.3
SCHEDULE NARRATIVE INTRODUCTION Through our development and management of aggressive, yet realistic schedules, we are very proud of our ability to deliver quality projects completed within their scheduled durations. Our team works diligently throughout the construction process to manage the schedule and continually communicate potential issues and schedule-impacting scope items to the team and to the Owner. Schedules are updated weekly through meetings with our Project Superintendents, when coordination of current and upcoming activities take place to prevent schedule pushes. Our schedule management system is summarized in our “9 Steps.” Each step is critical to clear potential issues that could cause delays and extend the completion date. Implementing each of the 9 Steps allows us to bring the schedule to life and use it as a driving tool towards project success. Steps 1 through 5 are management techniques geared towards preventing delays. The last four steps are directives in case delays do occur. Step 7, for example, has to do with performance evaluation. Step 9 is the most critical, so as to keep everyone accountable for deliverables and to make sure that the work progress is transparent and consistently updated for all stakeholders. Every schedule update is put through a thorough evaluation to determine how the progress to date compares with the project plan. Our team is provided with real-time data to give them all the information necessary to evaluate performance. This allows us to react immediately in the event of a delay along with recommendations for recovery.
PRELIMINARY OVERVIEW SCHEDULE JEM Group understands that the Department of General Services allows 60 days from proposal submission until Notice of Selection. In an effort to provide a reasonable and cost-effective project schedule, we have assumed that DGS will issue a Letter of Intent by November 18, 2019. We anticipate our Design Services will be complete by May 21, 2020 and Completion of our Construction by August 4, 2021. Our main priority after receiving the Letter of Intent will be to begin design. As this process is critical to the project completion, we will be diligent in meeting our design phase milestones so that Construction can begin on time. We also request that the Design Review by the Department be reasonably prompt so we may affectively achieve our schedule. We have created our CPM schedule which has been included in this submission. Please see our attached proposed preliminary project schedule, which outlines our assumptions for approvals and work start up, as well as our sequencing of the building to best accommodate the work of the ceiling and wall subcontractor.

- Renovate Basement Men’s and Women’s Restrooms
Sequence 4
- Renovate remaining Ground Floor Office Spaces
Per the written narrative, sequences must be completed and Certificates of Occupancy (COO) must be
obtained prior to starting the subsequent sequence. Based on our walkthrough, we understand that the
Client Agency will be relocating staff members to accommodate the construction project and a major
objective of this project is to provide them with proper notification. Therefore, we will be regularly
updating the project schedule based on status of sequences and anticipated completion and starting
dates. These updates will be provided to the Department of Client Agency at the bi-weekly job
conferences or as needed.
The proposed renovations to the office spaces occur near or adjacent to areas that will be occupied by
staff members. We understand that prevention of dust into those areas is important to both the Client
Agency and the Department. As such, we have included the provision of dust control methods that will
include temporary barriers between our construction zone and other areas. Furthermore, we will utilize
negative air machines, as necessary, to keep dust and other airborne contaminants within the
construction zone.
Per the project documents, the existing flooring in the corridors is not to be removed. We recognize
that, because our construction operations require us to utilize these areas, the flooring will need to be
protected from damage. We have included the installation of protective material over the existing
flooring which will be in place throughout the duration of each sequence and will be suitable to sustain
our construction equipment. If at any time this material becomes damaged and can no longer provide
necessary protection, it will be immediately removed and replaced.
Selective Demolition
The RFP documents state that certain materials that are to be removed contain asbestos which requires,
per standard construction practice, the adherence to very specific and strict guidelines. The
subcontractor we will employ to remove asbestos containing materials, has a deep knowledge and
2-4.3 SCHEDULE
expertise in this process. Certifications and/or resumes will be provided to the Department prior to
commencing removal of asbestos. Prior to removing asbestos containing material, the area will be
quarantined using plastic sheeting taped at the perimeter. Signs will be placed outside the protected
area to alert personal of asbestos removing activities and prohibit them from entering the area. Walk
off mats will be placed outside the barrier entrances to prevent the spreading of asbestos by foot traffic.
Employees who are responsible to remove asbestos shall be required to wear protective suits and
respirator masks to eliminate health risks. Materials containing asbestos shall be placed in a plastic bag
and taped shut prior to leaving the quarantined area. The material will then be removed from the site
and disposed of at an approved facility.
Materials that are selected to be demolished will be removed by the designated freight elevator located
within the North Office Building. Existing flooring adhesives to be removed will be diamond ground
down to the existing substrate. We have assumed that the existing substrate is within acceptable
tolerances to accept new finishes and therefore have not included any floor repair, however, we will
perform Floor Flatness (FF) and Levelness (FL) testing if needed.
Marble Cleaning and Repairs
For the Marble Cleaning on the Ground and First Floor Corridors, we will employ a subcontractor who
is skilled in this area and has extensive knowledge of effective marble cleaning products/processes,
salvaging of existing marble, dutchmen repairs, etc. JEM intends to employ a subcontractor who has
specifically performed work in Pennsylvania Capitol Projects previously. For the Marble Repairs at the
water fountains, we have assumed there is enough material available within the abandoned stairwell to
complete the repairs. Repair of stairwell walls harvested for marble is not included. The performance
of the Marble Cleaning will take place near the end of the respective sequences when dust has subsided.
Millwork
Per the Bid Drawings, the existing shelving is to be covered to match the adjacent finish surfaces. We
have included 450 SF of new paneling at these areas that will be fastened directly to the existing
shelving frame. Finish Color is to be selected and approved by our Retained Professional.

receive new transoms, will receive new fire and safety rated glass in the existing frames. Doors will be
prefinished and stained in Color selected by the Professional.
Finishes
New partitions will be completed with 20 gauge metal studs that will be mechanically fastened to the
existing concrete slab and will terminate at the ceiling elevation. Per code, the tops of the partitions
will be braced to the structural steel joists overhead. Partitions in the office spaces will be filled with
sound attenuation insulation and will be completed with 5/8” drywall. We have included costs to
install moisture resistant gypsum board in the bathrooms. All new gypsum board will receive a level 4
finish.
The existing perimeter walls on the ground floor and first floor office spaces are to be laminated. To
complete this work we will install mechanically fastened furring into the existing exterior walls. New
gypsum board will then be installed over the new furring. We have assumed that the existing walls to
receive this lamination are capable of supporting the load of the new furring and gypsum board. Per
Code compliance requirements, no insulation at these locations has been included.
2-4.3 SCHEDULE
Painting color shall match the selections made in Addendum 2 and will be approved by the
Professional. We have not included any cost for any mockup for paint or any other material to be

boxes and branch connections into the new zones. All existing ductwork and grilles/registers/diffusers
serving the existing areas to be renovated shall be removed back to the trunk lines. Thermostats
indicated to be demolished, shall be removed in their entirety and we have included costs to patch wall
at those locations. Per the RFP documents, there are existing FCU units to be removed and we
understand the coils are supplied by hydronic piping. We have included the cost to drain and flush
these lines prior to reconnecting them to new units. The existing exhaust systems located within the
bathrooms are to be removed back to the existing riser and will be made airtight to prevent construction
contaminants from entering the system. We have included all necessary insulation of the new piping.
We have not included insulation of the existing 4 pipe system in our proposal. New exhausts systems
in the bathrooms will be tied into the existing risers with new ductwork.
Per the specifications, we will employ the services of an independent agent to perform commissioning
services which must be performed prior to project completion. A full copy of the commissioning report
will be submitted to the Professional upon completion. We have not included any cost for maintenance
or repair of HVAC equipment, except those we have installed, that services the new HVAC Work or

2-4.3 SCHEDULE
the written narrative there is a discussion about cabinet unit heaters. There are no cabinet unit heaters
listed on the plans so we have not included that work on our proposal. Lighting controls for the project
have been included as indicated E101 and E-102 which includes the stand-alone line voltage sensors
for the network lighting controls. We have included the stand-alone lighting controls for the
restrooms. Per the documents the lighting circuits are to be re-utilized circuits currently residing on
each floor for normal and normal/emergency lighting circuits. We have included the relocation of the
data rooms as indicated on the documents and we understand that the Owner is supplying the network
switches and that the data lines and telephone lines will be terminated directly on the patch panels. We
have included a new fire alarm system and the full security and card reader system. We have not
included cost for the Senate Speaker System.

At 1110 East Princess Street, a new state-of-the-art office facility provides space for the construction company to expand, while cultivating future growth and revitalization of downtown York. Faced with company growth and changes in the construction industry that demand new types of work environments and technology, the company enlisted Warehaus to design their new office facility.
Warehaus’ repurposed the bones of the existing structure to providing a more functional and energy efficient space. Using inventive structural solutions toadd a center monumental steel stair to connect the two main floor levels and a cantilevered beam canopy over the entrance, Warehaus highlighted existing industrial features of the building to create a welcoming entrance. To increase energy efficiency, large windows, a new exterior envelope, and new MEP systems were implemented. Warehaus also worked with the company to provide meeting spaces that could accommodate groups of various sizes and a much needed café space that encouraged corporate engagement.
Seeking to transition from a completely closed off office space to a multifunctional open layout, the team designed workstations with each employees role in mind. Creating one standard workstation layout that could be easily used by anyone within the building through use of sit to stand desk top components, different filing and storage options and integrated technology solutions that encouraged connectivity and collaboration. These workstations were mocked up by the furniture vendor so each employee could see-feel-tough the true size and components prior to finalizing the design. Buy in from the company as a whole for this massive shift in working environment was of utmost importance.
While the open layout office space maximized the use of the building’s square footage, the company was concerned about noise and lack of privacy. Warehaus addressed these concerns by incorporating a white noise system for the open office areas and integrating noise absorbing materials in the exposed ceiling structure above the workstations and in the public spaces. Along with consultant Acoustic Distinctions, Warehaus also design and detailed a sound rated wall assembly between the attached steel fabrication shop and the office to mitigate the overhead crane bells and steel movement noises experienced through the existing separating wall. To showcase the company’s standing as a leading contemporary firm with longstanding family values, Warehaus blended modern design with warm finishes. The space is appealing to both potential recruits and longtime employees. Introducing customized corporate branding throughout the building, Warehaus helped to set a strong precedent for their future facilities, where environments are used as marketing tools to attract clients and new talent alike.

The Harsco Corporation is a forward-thinking, global manufacturing company that sought a headquarters facility to match its corporate focus. Its original 1970’s structure, located along the Susquehanna River, needed a complete renovation to make better use of space and capitalize on the remarkable views surrounding the facility.
Warehaus presented transformative options that looked beyond finish upgrades to a bigger-picture analysis of the company’s structure, locations and its workforce interactions. The main entrance location, executive conference room and typical perimeter-office layout of the building were re-imagined to connect building occupants with the natural surroundings throughout their work day. Warehaus also helped Harsco Corporation standardize to smaller office and workstation sizes, made more efficient and attractive through task-appropriate, ergonomic furnishings.
The entrance canopy stands as a beautiful encapsulation of Harsco’s dynamic product line and their sustainable business approach. Used railroad sections were shipped to a local metal-worker so that they could be repurposed as semi-structural features for the canopy. Harsco’s steel and aluminum mezzanine systems were also incorporated in the canopy as column wraps for ivy to grow on. In addition to demonstrating the diverse potential uses that their products have, these features act a reminder to employees of the industry that they are a part of and their company’s commitment to sustainable practices.
Harsco sought to recreate their original marketing wall map in a manner that aligned with the corporate renovation goals. Warehaus suggested ways that the map could be transformed into a modern art piece. Although the final product had pieces weighing more than 100 pounds, Warehaus creatively printed out a full sized template of the steel map on a grid so that hangers could be accurately aligned. Ultimately, the backlit steel map rests elegantly on the wall reminding employees of company’s global impact.
These changes allowed consolidation, moving 100 employees from three separate sites to one location. Space was reallocated to provide Harsco’s workforce with a state-of-the-art training room, a healthy-menu food service and dining spaces and areas to accommodate traveling staff and visitors with hoteling workstations and luggage storage. Dan Reisinger, Harsco Corporation’s Facilities Lead praised Warehaus’ contribution, “The team at Warehaus was excellent to work with. They were informative and communicated on a daily basis. Any changes made during the project were met with enthusiasm and cooperation.”

During the Great Depression, Milton S. Hershey embarked on his “Great Building Campaign” to bolster the local economy which included the Her-shey Community Building located at 14 East Chocolate Avenue and was completed in 1933. Warehaus was selected to manage the owner’s stew-ardship of the downtown landmark, providing analysis and documenta-tion necessary to restore the stone building’s many beautiful features.
The project began with a complete 3D scan of the existing building, recording the high level of architectural detail and allowing the project team to create a Building Information Model (BIM).
Warehaus’ expertise in a variety of building materials, including granite, limestone, brick, and terracotta, aided in the analysis required for the res-toration. Additional materials used in the detailed facade included wood, steel, brass, bronze, and wrought iron – each requiring their own individ-ual restoration solutions. The project also involved the restoration and replacement of 500+ windows, doors and skylights that included delicate treatment of stain glass windows. The team used custom solutions and specialized tools such as video scoping to identify problem areas within the internal downspout system in order to properly manage the water infiltration experienced within the building. Warehaus also coordinated the historically accurate terracotta tile roof along with replicating the highly detailed copper flashings.
Warehaus’ internal Historic Preservation team was instrumental in making certain rehabilitation plans met the exacting standards required for a 20% historic tax credit.

In 1934, The Hershey Company’s new “Building 41” was considered state of the art in building design. However, over time, this once progressive structure became not particularly useful as a 20th century office space, while possessing too much historical value to raze. Warehaus helped transform Building 41 and three adjacent buildings, a combined 375,000 sf, into a 21st century office environment, with the goal of housing Hershey’s employees today and into the future, while respecting the company’s long and impressive history.
A master plan laid the foundation for a consolidation of 1,100 staff from four buildings into a central corporate office environment. Designers created an environmental transformation based on the company’s desire for a cultural change, moving from a model of encapsulated departments to one of overlapping, flexible work zones. The new office has smaller stations with low partitions, providing an address for each person, but also assuming that team members will mix and collaborate, work in nearby glass booths, alcoves, conference rooms, labs, and the sunlit atrium. Standardization of work spaces gives the company flexibility to minimize future construction as departments grow and change.
Spaces were designed to encourage wellness through movement. A new centralized atrium brings daylight to the interior and is furnished with a combination of soft seating and work tables to encourage occupants to get up and move to use the space. The design team selected light finishes for work surfaces to minimize contrast with paper and reduce eye strain.
The Hershey Company signaled its commitment to environmental sustainability by requiring that the project be designed to meet at minimum LEED Silver standards. The project was awarded LEED Gold Certification in May 2015.

Two of Lancaster County’s treasured historic structures were exhibiting significant building failures. Both the Lancaster County Courthouse and the Lancaster County Prison presented immediate needs for action and were perfect candidates for long-term preservation. Warehaus teamed with The Witmer Group to create a 10-year facilities maintenance plan for both buildings.
Prior to the start of the investigation, both structures experienced significant leaks and falling exterior stones that required staff to vacate parts of the buildings. Warehaus and The Witmer Group worked in concert to identify, analyze and propose solutions to the failing envelopes. On-site evaluations led to a 3-level prioritization plan that allowed failures to be addressed efficiently – Level 1: Systems with current or imminent failure; Level 2: Systems predicted to fail within five years; Level 3: Systems predicted to fail within 10 years.
Warehaus’ continued scope of work includes full 3D scans of the buildings to create a point cloud record of each building for use in the documentation of masonry restorations, roof replacements and window/door replacements.
Government-owned buildings are not eligible for standard historical grant credits. However, Warehaus’ internal Historic Preservation team was instrumental in identifying other available grant opportunities, including the Keystone Historic Preservation Construction grant and a National Trust for Historic Preservation grant. Warehaus also compiled photography, scanning, narratives, recommendations, construction details and quantities into a presentation to the Lancaster County Commissioners.

Experience with Design/Build – Phase Shift Consulting
Phase Shift’s team boasts years of experience working in a wide variety of project delivery models, many
of which have been in a design/build capacity. Those models have varied from Design Firm-Primed to
Contractor-Primed to Federal Contractor-primed with both design firm and contractor as subs. A few
previous examples include:
Bell Museum of Minnesota Natural History – St. Paul, MN
Opened in the summer of 2018, the new Bell Museum brings together science, art, and the
environment with a unique Minnesota perspective. The museum’s new home features a digital
planetarium, high-tech exhibits, famous wildlife dioramas, outdoor learning experiences and
more. The new facility is expected to triple the number of annual visitors to 105,000.
Phase Shift Consulting was a sub to the contractor Design & Production, supporting them with
the engineering efforts related to all of the multi-media exhibits.
The project was completed on schedule.

Experience with Capitol Complex or Government Projects – Phase Shift Consulting
Phase Shift’s team members have worked on a wide variety of projects for the federal government,
including many historic buildings. We understand the complexities of and design requirement unique to
these types of spaces, specifically related to electronic security, information security, and separation of
networks. A few previous examples include:
International Monetary Fund – Washington, DC
Phase Shift provided technology consulting and design services in support of the IMF’s complete
renovation of their three executive floors at their Washington headquarters. Spaces included
multiple committee rooms and conference rooms – including the one for the IMF’s Managing
Director, and the 120-person executive boardroom. Systems in all spaces connected to the
IMF’s central technology core to allow signal routing from any space to any space in the facility.
The boardroom boasts a 12-language simultaneous interpretation system and a large direct
view LED screen as its main display. While part of a major update renovation project, the
infrastructure and systems still needed to be designed in a manner that was sensitive and
compatible with the historic architecture throughout the building.
The project was completed on schedule.

Experience with multiple/complex IT systems projects – Phase Shift Consulting
Phase Shift’s team specializes in delivering multi-discipline large-scale projects. Many of the firm’s
projects include customer-owned outside plant telecommunications, service provider coordination,
divergent path structured cabling redundancy, data center, security operations center, gunshot
detection systems, parking barriers, turnstiles, immersive LED video walls, real time location systems,
room scheduling, telepresence, sound masking, and digital signage systems. While we look at each of
those systems and components separately, we also look for convergence opportunities that reduce both
capex and opex costs. A few previous examples include:
Appian HQ – McLean, VA
Out of a heavy field of interested firms, Phase Shift was selected to design the IT, AV, security
and wireless systems for Appian’s new 200,000 sf headquarters space due to its strong focus on
customer service, experience and agility. Appian operates with a network that lives completely
off premise in the cloud, requiring a pivot away from traditional structured cabling topology.
The firm’s strong commitment to the Google ecosystem influences the broader technology
scheme, including such things as conference room web collaboration and room scheduling
solutions.
The project was completed on schedule.
