The majority of our work at C & C Construction Mgmt., Inc. is in occupied healthcare facilities. Through the years we have become experts at working in these conditions. Understanding Fellowship Village’s mission to provide seniors in need with the highest quality services, we are committed to minimizing disruptions and maintaining a safe environment for your residents and staff by constructing temporary barricades (including air scrubbers) physically separating the work area from the rest of the facility. We also construct temporary walkways to ensure both the ease and safety of moving through the facility on a daily basis. Additionally, we post shut down notices (see sample below) to inform staff and residents of any possible disturbances in advance. We recognize that each facility is unique and work collaboratively with all involved team members from the owners to the facility managers to communicate effectively, schedule work appropriately, ensure safety, and minimize disruptions for all residents.

We are very familiar in dealing with curious residents and will work with facility during construction to limit disruption and respect the resident community. One of the best ways we have found to accomplish this is to install fully finished painted construction barrier walls at the areas of work. We finish these walls to match the adjacent surfaces which makes the construction barricades blend in with the surrounding area. This along with temporary signage including stanchions to direct residents allows them to feel secure in the area even as construction is taking place.

Another benefit of working with C&C to bring the project in on budget is making early design decisions with good cost information. To estimate project costs accurately early on with little information requires accurate benchmarking. Since virtually all of our work is at Senior Living facilities, we have up to date benchmarking information that allows us to provide the most accurate preliminary estimates to the project team with the information necessary to make educated decisions at the most critical point in the design, the beginning.

C & C will assist the project team, including the technical consultants and the variety of disciplines from within the Fellowship Village organization, to achieve a successful project. We will work to establish goals that include minimal community disruption, cost efficiency and speed of delivery – together with agreed upon thresholds of quality and aesthetics. In addition, C & C staff and subcontractors will always operate with respect and the highest professionalism towards residents and Fellowship Village representatives.

Our vast experience in the construction of senior living facilities has provided our team with a clear understanding and in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of this specific field. We are not just familiar with the process; rather we are specialists in this area of construction as together we have worked on over 250 senior living projects, as indicated in our prior project experience. We pride ourselves on working with both union and open shop/merit trades. This combination provides us with a most unique advantage as we are capable of hiring a mixed group of nonunion and union trades with the most skilled and cost-effective tradesmen available. Working on these projects has provided our hands-on team with the necessary expertise to successfully complete each phase of construction, prove C & C Construction Mgmt., Inc. to be a most valued resource for your project.

C & C believes in the importance of open communication and collaboration. During the construction phase, our team works together to expedite and improve the efficiency of the construction process through professional planning and execution of project activities, all focused upon fulfilling the owner’s scope, cost, quality, and time requirements. Together our team strategizes and implements a clear plan that identifies the roles and responsibilities of each member and a set of standard operating procedures designed specifically for each individual job.

We recognize the importance of technology in creating a highly effective collaborative and communication-driven team. To support our efforts, we have a host of resources available to ensure that we are able to successfully communicate with all members of our team as well as to quickly respond to the Owner’s needs throughout the project. Our team uses the most up-to-date computer programs available to assist in our project managers during the construction phase. We use programs such as Primavera for scheduling and Expedition for all submittals, shop drawings, RFI logs and Minutes of the Meeting. We also utilize CAD for the preparation of phasing drawings and overlays for coordination of mechanical trades. In addition to CAD we are currently evaluating the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software to enhance our coordination between primes, including clash detection and model based coordination.

C & C is known for a hands-on, communication oriented, considerate, and proactive approach to its work. This approach explains in part why we have so many repeat clients in the senior living markets. C & C takes great effort to understand the conditions and circumstances that can affect schedule and cost before construction begins, communicate potential areas of concern to the project team so that adjustments can be made, or contingencies are put into place for issues that cannot be qualified or quantified prior to construction. C & C will anticipate potential areas for further investigation, based on its prior experience.

For example, during the pre-construction phase

• C & C will properly investigate existing conditions as deemed necessary

• Perform exploratory work if necessary to confirm constructability, evaluate existing conditions and mechanical systems

• Underground conditions often become “unforeseen conditions” and if not handled properly, can result in a significant time delay and cost overrun. C & C will work with the owner

and the design team to suggest strategies to identify soil conditions (additional soil borings perhaps) or GPR scanning for underground utilities so that potential areas of unsuitable materials or conflicting utility routes can be identified before construction starts.

In renovation projects especially, some conditions cannot be anticipated or discovered until the demolition phase of construction begins; in these situations, where unanticipated conditions do arise despite the best efforts of the project team, C & C will assist in quickly identifying options to resolve the problem with the least amount of impact.

C & C Construction Management, Inc. strongly believes that the success of each project is determined by the collaborative efforts of both the Owner, Architect and General Contracting firm. Keeping this in mind, we feel that the Owner is paying a fair fee for our services, and we support returning all savings to the Owner. We pride ourselves on having open and long-lasting relationships with our clients and feel that it is our professional obligation to seek out the most economical and dependable subcontractors and vendors regardless of incentives.

In our experience working in the state of New Jersey, we feel strongly that no reduction of construction contingencies are made until receipt of the Certificate of Occupancy. We have learned that final inspections sometimes lead to interpretations of the code, which may require additional costs prior to project closeout.

After carefully reviewing all the documents provided it is clear this project will need to be staffed with a Senior Project Manager, On-Site Project Manager, Superintendent along with office support, safety officer and quality control officer to be sure when a phase is complete it is thoroughly inspected to minimize punch list.

As outlined on our Organizational chart and demonstrated on their resumes the majority of the staff selected for this project have extensive experience in this market and have all worked for CCCMI in a similar team fashion for the many years.

If at the time of construction one or more team members, is already committed to another project we would present resumes to fill those positions for your review and acceptance.

Please see organizational chart and resumes for more details on our staff.

Our normal warranty period is one year beginning from the date of substantial completion and/or occupancy. During the warranty period we will manage warranty claims as follows:

· Document initial notification of issue from Owner (i.e. location and concerns via “email confirmation” to owner)

· Notification to subcontractor or vendors responsible

· Scheduling of warranty repair or replacement will be coordinated with the facility during normal business hours

· Provide updates to all parties until issue is resolved and work is completed

We maintain the project closeout documents including contract drawings and shop drawings

C & C Construction Management, Inc. will continue to provide the best resources and be supportive well beyond the one-year warranty period.

In general, we would like our attorney to have time to review on our behalf. Please see attached marked up clauses of concern.

We do not have any.

We do not provide sub-guard insurance since we would provide 100% performance bond.

As the design progresses from the conceptual to schematic and design development phase, we engage subcontractors to evaluate the plans for constructibility, VE recommendations, and attempt to eliminate any potential issues that could create problems or add costs to the project. Our approach acknowledges that the further the design progresses, the more difficult it is to modify elements of the project, therefore we strive to minimize these modifications later in the design process.

A typical project is broken down into Schematic, Design Development, and Construction Document phases. During the schematic phase, we typically have select subcontractors for major trades, review the project with us and make any recommendations that could bring value to the project. As the team moves into the Design Development Phase, we may bring the consultants and trade partners together for collaborative meetings to discuss specific items that require more evaluation. During this Phase, we also discuss any VE options with these subcontractors and present them to the team for further analysis.
Once the project reaches the Construction Document Phase, we obtain a minimum of (3) bids per trade to use as the basis of the GMP. We will incorporate any preferred subcontractors that the owner would like to provide the opportunity to bid the project. During the bidding process, we perform a detailed scope review and internal quantity takeoffs as necessary to compare to the scope presented in proposals from subcontractors to ensure that we have the right number to determine the GMP.

Once we have the GMP established, we will proceed with recommendations for subcontractor awards which is based on many factors and not necessarily the lowest bid. We consider our field experience with them, their current manpower, other work under contract, and our discussions related to the specific project. Any subcontractor with whom we do not have experience will be required to complete our pre-qualification form and attend a descope/review meeting with C&C to ensure the subcontractor has the correct scope and is qualified.

When selected as part of the design team, CC CMI will bring an abundance of information, value and ideas from years of experience working in this senior living market.

Including current cost data comparisons and the latest cost saving means and methods for:

– Foundation Technologies utilizing Revit/BIM GPS, Helix micro rebar, fibers etc..

– Constructability types i.e. steel, wood, CFMF, masonry, Ecospan, composite decks etc….

– Sourcing the best value and technologies for doors, frames, hardware and access control while limiting overlap and redundancies.

– Presenting local manufactures and suppliers for finishes, cabinetry, tops, acoustic treatment alternatives and specialty items.

Example: We worked closely with KDA to find a solution for a Banquette seating from what was originally specified. We had previous experience with a local fabricator who offered a turnkey custom solution with substantial savings.

– MEP:

These divisions can be very costly up front and to maintain if not properly designed initially.

We will bring “out of the box” solutions for mechanical systems. Our experience along with our MEP partners will prove to be a valuable resource for the design team and EOR.

Example: Strategically position VRF’s to maximize southern exposures, hence designing for the max temps in the project locality.

Plumbing solutions for proper temperatures, proper sizing and positioning of fixtures while keeping building structure in mind.

Electrical incoming service to be sized properly, including communication with manufacturers and utility companies. Gathering input early on in the process on short circuit needs and availability.

CCCMI will offer input for rethinking the approach for all lighting fixture including foot candles requirements. Input on these items from the very beginning including the Civil Engineer will prove to be invaluable.

We will bring value and solutions to the team during the design process to avoid VE ideas late in the process.

Lastly understanding that Fellowship Friends Village is a non-profit organization, we will echo the mission to our subcontractors and encourage them to get support and get involved. We presently serve on a couple foundation boards and understand the need to be involved.
