VI-Retrospect

Introduction

The construction phase of projects is very visible and generally there are travel/inconveniences and neighborhood disruptions. For this reason, it is the most important phase for City staff and Consultants to plan for the least possible construction time period. A partnering or the team approach usually is recommended. The Contractor, utility companies, City staff and Consultant all work as a team to construct the project. The tasks in this and previous phases facilitates this partnering process. In order to have a successful project, the following must occur: Contract documents executed promptly. Discuss/resolve relevant issues/problems at the pre-construction conference. Review/approve shop drawings within the promised time period. Pay the Contractor promptly. Provide adequate inspection resources in order not to delay the Contractor. Notify the Contractor if the submitted schedule is not maintained. Schedule bi-weekly meetings, if necessary, to keep the project on schedule.

Task No. 1 - Prepare for Temporary Financing

The Law Department will prepare the documents for providing project temporary financing when required.

Task No. 2 - Submit Agency Cash Flow Projection

Top

Prior to Notice to Proceed, the Project Manager shall submit to the project funding agencies, if required, a project cash flow projection on their standard forms. Currently, Johnson County CARS and KDOT do not require a cash flow projection.

Exhibit No. V-2 is Johnson County SMAC cash flow form.

Task No. 3 - Submit Cash Flow Projection to City Finance Department

Top

Prior to Notice to Proceed, the Project Manager shall submit a cash flow for the project (update if applicable) to the City Finance Department.

See Phase II, Task No. 6 for standard cash flow form.

Task No. 4 - Distribute Executed Contract Documents

Top

If a Consultant is involved, five copies need to be prepared for the Contractor’s execution. Two copies go to the Contractor (one of which the Contractor is to forward to the surety company), one to the consultant, one in the Public Works file, and the original (with original insurance certification and Power of Attorney for the Performance and Statutory Bond) goes to the City Clerk with the award/reject letters. Six additional copies should be prepared for KDOT projects and one additional copy should be prepared for SMAC and CARS projects. The Agreement, Performance Bond, Statutory Bond and/or Labor and Materials Payment Bond, and Appointment of Agent for Service of Process are filled out by the Contract Specialist.

The Contractor is given ten (10) days to execute their part of the Contract Documents. The Contractor must have all his insurance certificates, bonds and agent for service of process filled out, sealed, and Power of Attorneys attached. The Instructions to Bidders has the proper insurance requirements. Be sure their insurance certificate has enough coverage. The Agent for Service of Process is not required if the Contractor’s business is located in the state of Kansas or if the Contractor is located outside of Kansas but is on file and in good standing with the State. The Contract Specialist calls the State to get this information.

The Contract Documents are then sent to the Law Department after they have been properly executed by the Contractor. The assigned attorney will "approve as to form" and send them back to the Contract Specialist. After the assigned attorney's approval, they go to the City Clerk's office for the Mayor and City Clerk to sign.

The County also requires a list of CARS non-participating items with the transmittal.
