OwnerMartin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe
Project LocationChambersburg, PA
Project TypeNew Masonry
Performed byWitmer Masonry, Inc.
Martin’s Famous Pastry ShoppeThe Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe headquarters building is a three-story combination of steel and structural masonry with a multitude of fi nish materials. Architects The Newcomer Associates’ design was an creative blend of masonry materials on the exterior facade, grand piers, soffi ts, site signage and entrance fountain. Exterior veneer and columns were constructed of brick accented with Arriscraft and ArrisCast, and with portions using the Arriscraft Thin Clip System. There are interior accent walls of Adair Limestone, both rock face and smooth fi nish. A total of 21,500 concrete masonry units went into the structural build-out, along with 59,500 modular brick units, and an additional 10,363 specialty units in both interior and exterior.
Witmer Masonry, Inc. was challenged by brutal winter conditions and the resulting necessary fast-paced recovery schedule, however the job was completed on time after 3 months of injury-free 50-hour workweeks. The result is a showcase of innovative fi nishes for this staple brand’s home base. Awarded: Excellence in Masonry over $250K, by the Associated Builders & Contractors, Keystone Chapter.

PROJECT PROFILES
Millersville University Student Housing The Millersville University South Quad Housing ‐ Phase I was a difficult and demanding job for Witmer Masonry, Inc. Performing at a high level of safety, quality and produc on is just another day for the Witmer Team. Our team successfully managed a fast track schedule, ght site logis cs, humid summer heat and adverse deep winter condi ons. As with most projects, we were asked to outperform the established project schedule so other trades could pick up valuable me. Witmer accepted and accom‐plished all presented challenges. The project was a 188,000 square foot four‐wing, four story dormitory with 709 beds connected by a common building at Millersville University. The comple on date could not be changed due to the building needing to be fully occupied prior to the start of the fall semester. In a few short months with many days breaking 100 degrees, 40,000 con‐crete blocks and over 400 yards of grout were installed. Next up, the op‐portunity to install masonry in one of the worst winters in recent history, installing the brick and cast stone façade in winter enclosures using mate‐rials that had to be preheated in “warming tents” before installa on. Most of the 215,000 u lity brick had to be kept warm and dry so warm materials could be supplied to the crew in nasty winter condi ons. Witmer’s work for the project was completed on me and with rave re‐views from the general contractor and the University.

MESSIAH COLLEGE PERFORMING ARTS
The Messiah Performing Arts Center is a 150,000 square foot addi‐
on and renova on to the exis ng Climenhaga Building at Messiah
College. The addi on consisted of a 1,200 person symphony hall, a
120 person recital hall, teaching studios, prac ce rooms, choral, in‐
strument and chamber rehearsal rooms, a recording studio, faculty
offices, a library, lobby spaces and auxiliary spaces. Renova ons to
the exis ng Climenhaga building included a new black box studio,
new restrooms, and green rooms. Witmer Masonry began this pro‐
ject in May of 2011 and completed our work in April of 2013. The
performing arts complex finished as a masonry masterpiece, but it
did not come without challenges. In fact, it ranks high on the list as
one of the most challenging projects that Witmer Masonry has ever
completed. The architectural complexity of the design such as the
radius walls and angled corners, steel bearing structure, wall
heights, and amount of interior masonry veneer were a few of the
challenges we faced. The Witmer Team worked diligently and col‐
labora vely with the en re team and received raving reviews from
the owner, architect, and general contractor. The College now has
an amazing performing arts facility that will last for years to come.

FRANKLIN & MARSHALL Witmer Masonry was entrusted with the challenge to nestle a turn of
the century replica onto the Franklin & Marshall campus as if had been
there for a hundred years while crea ng a state of the art living center
behind this old world façade. The project consisted of 65,000 block,
610 yards of grout, 300,000 handmade brick, 800 pieces of cast stone,
200 pieces of granite and 54,000 paving bricks. This material was used
to create a project that masquerades as an old stately mansion. Match‐
ing the look of a 100+ year old campus brought on unique challenges.
Every bricklayer assigned to the project was trained in the bricklaying
and striking techniques of another era. Once trained, each bricklayer
had to pass a rigorous examina on before being allowed to be part of
the project team. Not only did the crew create a stunning piece of ar‐
chitecture, it was completed with no serious reportable injuries. The
Witmer Group Safety Team was diligent in monitoring the scaffolding
that surrounded the en re structure. The Witmer Group team com‐
pleted the F&M New College House project while exceeding the expec‐
ta ons of the building owner and general contractor.

CRITICAL ISSUES
COORDINATION WITH SUBCONTRACTORSWe understand that coordination between subcontractors will be key component for project success. We will utilize key subcontractors which will include, among others, glass, glazing, asbestos abatement, masonry, and paving. As the General 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.
As the lead contractor, we will create an integrated CPM project schedule, in collaboration with the project team, to achieve the required schedule. This schedule will incorporate all work for the projects.
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, architect(s), contractor and key subcontractors – aligns Owner expectations and design intent with the work to be completed. Weekly coordination meetings with the superintendent and site workers ensure that everyone understands their role and the work to be completed that week.
Project Manager Chris Houck brings an added expertise in lean construction. This will result in significant improvements in schedule with dramatically reduced waste, particularly on with the complexity and strategic planning required for this project.
COORDINATION WITH DGS & PROFESSIONAL TEAMGiven the experience that has been obtained by working on multiple best-value 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 team 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.
T-2B: WORK PLAN
ADHERENCE TO CONTRACT SEQUENCES & WORK AREA SEPARATIONWe understand the work will be sequenced as follows:
1. Establishment of E&S controls2. Demolition of existing structures3. Site Excavation and Grading4. Site Utilities5. Building Construction 6. Electrical Equipment Installation7. HVAC Equipment Installation8. Building Finishes9. Paving and Pavement Markings
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 counteract it:
We utilize a 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 focus on early start and finish dates. We do not put off for tomorrow what we can do today.
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’s performance and the upcoming week’s workload. These sessions also look several weeks into 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.
With the limited existing space for the work a tightly coordinated effort will be required as to not stake trade contractors which will limit the flow of the work.
UNDERSTANDING CRITICAL MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT
We have identified the following critical material and equipment:
Structural Steel and approval
Glazed CMU Walls
Curtainwalls and other glazing
CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS
Challenge: Demolition & Abatement PlanSolution: Demolition Operations will not proceed until all Permits are in place and until
authorized to do so by the Department. Prior to the start of demolition operations, JEM Group will hold on onsite meeting with the Building Demolition Subcontractors, Site Demolition Subcontractors, and Hazardous Material/Abatement Removal Subcontractors. Items to be reviewed will included Osha Standards and other applicable safety standards, disposal of waste materials, and coordination between contractors. JEM Group will coordinate with utility owners in the area to locate existing utilities and where
T-2B: WORK PLAN
necessary, JEM Group will protect existing utilities to remain from Demolition Operations. All demolition waste material will be hauled from the site. All safety precautions, as dictated, by the OSHA Standards will be implanted prior to and during removal remove Hazardous Waste and Asbestos containing materials. Hazardous Waste will be removed by our Certified Hazardous Waste/Asbestos Removal Subcontractor and will be disposed of at a certified location. Documents showing proper waste disposal will be provided to the Department.
Challenge: Coordination with other Prime ContractorsSolution: JEM Group will hold weekly superintendent meetings with other Prime
Contractors to discuss operations specific to their workflow so that operations of all trades can be efficiently coordinated. Items to be discussed will include deliveries of materials and equipment, schedule tasks to be completed as well as any of their predecessors that need completed, critical milestones, areas that will be occupied by working operations, and other items. Also, as dictated by the Contract Specifications, JEM Group will meet with all other primes on a monthly basis to discuss and update the project schedule. Chris Houck also is an expert in Lean Construction, and he will use his skill to develop and manage this project through our relationships, shared knowledge of PennDOT processes, and common goal for a successful project.
Challenge: Maintenance and Protection of TrafficSolution: Given the proximity of the construction site to a Major Highway, JEM Group will
provide the required signage and other appurtenances dictated by the PennDOT TC-8600 for any operation that will encroach on traffic flow. JEM Group will also provide signage alerting motorists to the closure of the rest stops. This also includes providing site-specific traffic management plans
Challenge: Dust Control caused by Site Operations Solution: JEM Group will utilize water trucks as needed to control dust from entering
adjacent areas.
Challenge: Site DevelopmentSolution: As dictated by the Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, the 2 basins and
drainage swales will be installed at the beginning of the Project as well as the associated strom drainage systems. This will restrict the amount of water that drains into the building site. To further minimize drainage related impact to the site development, JEM Group will install construct construction roads, as necessary, to control flow of equipment and other vehicles around the site.
Challenge: Building EnvelopeSolution: As the installation of the building envelope is critical to controlling the interior
construction operations for items such as humidity control and other items, JEM understands that construction of the envelope must be completed promptly. As the schedule shows, the Rest Area Building will be started in late winter/early spring with the footings. By starting at this time, JEM will gain the most efficiency out of these operations as well as minimize potential environmental impacts. JEM Group has identified the following elements as critical to the Building Envelope: Footings and Foundations, Steel Fabrication and Erection, Exterior Wall Installation, Glazing Installation, and Roofing Installation. As noted in previous sections, we have identified the Glazing Fabrication as a
T-2B: WORK PLAN
critical path item to our schedule. Fabrication of these elements cannot proceed until field dimensions are taken by our Glazing Subcontractor of the rough openings. As shown in the schedule, we have provided ample amount of time for these events to occur without affecting the completion schedule. JEM Group will continuously monitor the schedule throughout the construction of the building envelope to ensure that it meets its critical milestone. Any slippage in this schedule will be quickly identified and corrected.
Challenge: Adherence to Contract SequencesSolution: JEM Group will follow and maintain the sequences dictated in the Erosion and
Sedimentation Control Plans. This will include installing temporary controls prior to the start of site and building operations as well as implementing Best Management Practices throughout the duration of the project.
Challenge: Coordination of Multiple Building InstallationsSolution: As stated in previous sections, JEM Group will utilize a separate superintendent
on each site. Each superintendent is responsible for the workflow and maintaining of their respective sites. In conjunction with the Superintendents, the Project Management team will monitor the schedule of each location. If slippage is detected at either location, the proper workforce and material will be assigned to the appropriate locations. Weekly meetings will be held by the Project Management Team, Superintendents, and necessary Subcontractor teams to coordinate and direct workflow and will discuss among other things the following: 1) schedule including milestones, tasks, and slippage, 2) resources, 3) material deliveries, 4) Submittals, and 5) Requests for Information.
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 and the Department of Transportation 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.
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.
T-2B: WORK PLAN
JEM Group is currently using e-Builder on SCI Forest County, another DGS project. Project Manager Chris Houck has used e-Builder on multiple best-value DGS projects to-date. As such, JEM Group has developed a thorough understanding of this system and how to submit documents – subcontracts, insurance certificates, schedule of values, bonds, etc. – quickly and efficiently.
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, the Department of Transportation, 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

SCHEDULE NARRATIVE
INTRODUCTIONThrough 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 August 19, 2019 with an anticipated start date approximately September 9, 2019, and completion to October 17, 2020.
We understand that materials and equipment related to the I-81 Rest Stops is a prerequisite to the project work. As such, ensuring accurate submittal information is reviewed and approved promptly will be our highest priority once we receive the Letter of Intent. We will also review and forward the submittals in a similar fashion to allow sufficient time for the procurement, fabrication and delivery of the materials. Accordingly, we have created our overview CPM schedule (attached herein) with that in mind. We look forward to meeting with the Department of Transportation’s representatives and the entire project team to review this plan in detail.
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.

Project: I-81 Rest Stops
.1 General Contract
Date: Thu 6/27/19
T-2C SAFETY PLAN
STANDARD SAFETY POLICY
Our philosophy on well-being on all of our projects is that it is our responsibility to ensure safety on our jobsites. Our on-site project superintendents, Tim Mortensen and Gary Dobbs, will lead the safety effort for our team. 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. Our Project Manager, Chris Houck, will develop and maintain a Safety Plan and Site Logistics Plans to deal with the specific conditions at your project site.
Given the proximity of the construction site to I-81, JEM Group’s effective work zone traffic management will include assessing the I-81 work zone impacts and documenting strategies for mitigating the impacts in a traffic management plan. Our strategies will be monitored by all levels of our Team to account for volume, travel time, queue length, etc. This will incorporate PennDot’s TC-8600 and TC-8700 Series for all work operations.
We will also meet with your representatives and adopt any additional safety requirements for the project site. We will monitor the following safety elements for your project:
Our Site Logistics Plan will be used as a communication tool for how we will manage your project sites. This plan will show trailer areas, security fencing, lay down areas, parking and how trash is taken from the work space and will result in an organized and safe project. In addition to our daily cleanup, we will conduct weekly cleanups with all of the subcontractors to maintain a clean site. This will prevent unwanted trash from littering the jobsite.
Tim and Gary will communicate the above 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.
SAFETY TRAINING PROGRAMS / CERTIFICATIONSEach 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.
Additionally, JEM Group employs a professional safety consultant, Beth Hertzler (717-505-3184) from McConkey Insurance & Benefits to provide training for their people, as well as perform periodic jobsite inspections. For special safety situations, JEM employs an additional consultant, Neel Horst (717-571-7157). 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:
T-2C SAFETY PLAN
PROCEDUREWe 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.
Accidents interfere with the orderly progress of the work and are indications of an inefficient operation. We expect everyone on the project to perform their job in a safe manner and in accordance with the procedures outlined in our safety program.
To be effective, the safety program requires full effort and attention from all members of the project team. Listed below are the major responsibilities assigned to each member of the team:

T-2C SAFETY PLAN
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.� Our Safety Consultant and Committee Members will visit the site on a regular basis to focus on safety, quality and schedule adherence.
SAFETY WALK-THRU’S & REVIEWSIn 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
T-2C SAFETY PLAN
SAFETY AT THE NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND PROJECT SITESWe understand the parameters and constraints of your project and will strive to minimize
disruption to existing operations along the I-81 highways. We recognize the challenges in working
next to active highways and will develop site management plans for both the northbound and
southbound project sites to ensure minimal disruption to normal roadway activities and traffic. We
incorporate measures to achieve the highest safety standards.
For this, we will also develop a Site Management Plan for each specific segment of the work,
which will be shared with all subcontractors prior to the start of construction. The following are
considerations to be made in developing the plan:
Access: both pedestrian and vehicle.
Construction Access: site access, delivery routes, and contractor parking.
Security: including existing facilities, construction site, access routes and service areas.
Construction Lay Down Areas: stockpile area and staging areas.
Construction Equipment Locations
Construction employees entering and exiting the sites.
Some of the tools that we will incorporate into the plan are as follows:
Project signage, barricades, and fences properly coordinated with the Department of
Transportation.
TC-8600 & TC-8700 Series Requirements
Tool and equipment storage procedures.
Daily debris removal and clean up from the work site.
Start of work day and end of work day walk through of the work area.
Providing a safe work environment:
Work inside the secure perimeter will be carefully coordinated with the correctional
facilities staff and strictly enforced.
Daily inspections of equipment, lifts, and scaffolding
T-2D QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
T-2D QUALITY CONTROL PLANOur goal with every project is to construct it right the first time. Time Mortensen and Gary Dobbs, our on-site Superintendents, are our first line of defense, and they 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.
JEM GROUPS QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAMQuality control represents an increasingly important concern for JEM Group. 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. JEM
Group 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.
ORGANIZING FOR QUALITY CONTROLJEM Group has implemented a common method of quality control, by having a group responsible
for quality control.
While the construction process sometimes requires the services of inspectors, JEM Group 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 JEM Group. 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 promote good quality control and seek out contractors who maintain
such standards.
TOTAL QUALITY CONTROLQuality 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
T-2D QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
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.
JEM Group 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.
Of course, total quality control is difficult to apply, particular in construction. The unique nature of
each facility, the variability in the workforce, the number of subcontractors and the cost of making
necessary investments in education and procedures make programs of total quality control in
construction difficult. Nevertheless, a commitment to improved quality even without endorsing the
goal of zero defects can pay real dividends to JEM Group.
JEM GROUP’S QUALITY CONTROL COMMITTEEThe Quality Control Committee will consist of a small group of employees who meet on a frequent
basis to identify, discuss, and solve productivity and quality problems. The Committee Chair
person will act as a liaison between the employees in the group and upper levels of management.
CONSTRUCTION QUALITY CONTROLDuring the design of the project, our staff will review the documents with DGS to ensure:
Quality during purchasing
T-2D QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
CAPABILITIES AND PROCEDURES
We will utilize e-Builder as DGS’s Project Management Software and, as needed, Sage Project
Management Software, Microsoft Project Scheduling Software, SharePoint, and Bluebeam to
help create a document database management tool with a broad range of capabilities. These
software platforms allow complete sharing of project data for multiple concurrent project
assignments to all project stakeholders: DGS, designers, contractors, 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 contractor performance
Enables timely payment for completed work to avoid claims and resolve disputes
Enables users to respond to 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
Upon issuance of Notice to Proceed, we will coordinate with DGS and the architects for a
complete hand-off of the contract documents, contract plans, bid documents, and any other type
of relevant information specific to the construction contract to facilitate the timely transfer of data
to the construction team and subsequently place into e-Builder and Sage. Our approach to
document management is simple and managed through our Project Management Team to ensure
that only applicable data is placed into the system for use by various vendors.
Submittals | Submittals are an important part of quality control of the construction project and
ensure the correct materials are used in the project. We create a submittal log by reviewing every
specification section provided by the design teams and input the required submittals into e-
Builder. A submittal log is created and sent out to all contractors, so they know what is required
of them for the job. Once a submittal is received, we review the submittal to ensure it complies
with the specifications. Utilizing the software and our internal systems, the submittals are
managed so that all parties involved in the project have access to submittals from all trades. Our
team will provide complete support during the submittal process with:
Active notifications
Alerts for due dates
Notices for submittals that may require expedited approval due to various reasons, such
as lead times and unforeseen conditions
Maintaining a thorough submittal log
Review and coordination of comments on the submittals with the design team
Requests for Information | Occasionally, contractors will require further clarification or direction
in order to perform their work. Once an RFI is received, we will make sure that it contains the
necessary information in order for the architect to provide a complete RFI response. The RFI Log
generated and tracked in e-Builder gives a unique snapshot of all of the RFIs on the project,
differentiating the items that still need a response from the architect. RFI responses from the
architect are reviewed by the project team for completeness, and then issued to the contractors.
All responses are posted in e-Builder and SharePoint website for the entire project team’s use
and future reference. This process is a great way to document field changes and modifications
T-2D QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
required for coordination of the trades. Additionally, allowing contractors to access these
responses on the Box.com website and e-Builder has proven to be invaluable for coordination on
the project.
Daily Reports | Our resident field staff will be able to directly enter daily reports, pictures,
comments, etc. into a centralized location within e-Builder for reference, comment, and to provide
evidence to aid in claims analysis and resolution dispute. Viewpoint and Box.com store the daily
reports in the database and can also generate PDFs for hard copies.
Contractor Pay Applications | Pay requisitions will be submitted in accordance with DGS
standards on a monthly basis by the contractors as portions of the work on a project are
completed. Prior to submission, we will review applications with the appropriate representatives
on site to get agreement as to the percent complete for each scope of work. Once the “pencil
copy” is approved, we will submit the bill formally for payment. The quicker we can get paid by
the Department, the quicker we can pay our subcontractors. Cash flow is critical to a healthy
construction project. We pay all subcontractors and vendors in accordance with the Prompt
Payment Act.
Change Order Reviews | The Change Management Module within Viewpoint can track all
change order-related conversations and documents. Controlling changes involves notifying and
coordinating affected project participants, as well as containing costs and the schedule for the
project. Typical change management process includes initiation of the Potential Change,
obtaining supporting documentation and pricing to support the change, submitting change order
request to Owner, receive direction from Owner regarding the Change, formalize and execute
official Change Order, incorporate Change Order information into project documents and
drawings, and finalize subcontract change orders with vendors. We track and monitor each
change issue at our regular meetings and urgent items are expedited to avoid negative impacts
to the schedule.
Field Work Management | Our field work quality management begins with a kick-off meeting with
each subcontractor before they start work on the site. At these kick-off meetings, we verify that
the subcontractor’s field personnel will be working from the current plans, specifications and
approved submittals.
Document Management | We utilize SharePoint and Bluebeam to help ensure that our project
construction teams (field superintendents, foreman, subcontractors, vendors) are working with
the most current set of construction documents and specifications. The documents are
hyperlinked, allowing ease of use in the field to move between drawings and details. As Requests
for Information (RFI’s) and sketches are issued and authorized for construction, they are added
to the set of current documents for use in the field. Approved submittals can also be linked to the
documents. These QA/QC measures help eliminate mistakes in the field.
T-2D QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
Deviation Management | Our on-site project team is the first line of resistance against deviations
that may be promoted by suppliers and subcontractors. Deviations will usually be discovered in
the preparatory inspection phase. DGS will be asked to make the final judgment relative to
compliance or acceptability of a deviation. A signed field change, which does not include time or
money, is one administrative means of attaining an agreement with DGS without delay. Significant
deviations shall be disapproved immediately when discovered and only permitted after proper
approval has been received from DGS and the project management team.
Punchlist and Close-Out | 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.
