Public procurement follows different rules depending on the owner, the type of work, and its value. We read each solicitation for the rules that apply to it and follow them.
The paperwork is part of the work
- Complete bid packages with every required form and addendum acknowledged
- Weekly certified payroll on prevailing wage jobs
- A job record with photos, test results, and inspection sign-offs
- Change orders in writing before the changed work starts
- Closeout documents the contract calls for: warranties, manuals, as-builts, and releases
- A signed record at closeout for the owner file
The building stays open
Public buildings do not close for construction. The library keeps its hours, the housing stays lived in, the office keeps working, and we are rarely the only contractor in the building. Good public work means being a good team player: to the people who use the building, to the other contractors on site, and to the facilities staff who answer for all of it.
We plan the work around the building's day before pricing it, and the plan goes in the scope, so it is a commitment, not an intention.
Working in your building, we
- Sequence the work around the building's hours, operations, and the people in it
- Protect existing conditions, and document what we found before we touched it
- Coordinate with the other contractors on site, so trades meet on a schedule instead of colliding in a hallway
- Give notice before disruptive work, to building users as well as to the office
- Leave the site safe, secure, and clean at the end of every shift
- Give your facilities team one contact who answers
