KOA will establish, implement and coordinate systems for processing all contract change orders. Issues that identified as
a potential change to the design, scope, cost, or schedule will generate a change notice, as determined by KOA. The plans
and specifications will be reviewed against the change notice. If the issue does not appear to be included in the plans
or specifications, a Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be sent to the contractor. Any credits for work deleted as a result of
the change will be required at this time. The contractor's response to the RFQ will be evaluated for reasonableness and
completeness. KOA will prepare independent cost estimates for comparison with the contractor's proposal. Upon the
City's approval, KOA will prepare, log and process change orders for full execution, and administer their implementation.

KOA will provide part-time Construction Management (CM) services with our experienced CM staff.
KOA has developed baseline Construction Management procedures that are used as a baseline for our capital
improvement construction projects. Since every project is unique, we will tailor our procedures to our clients' needs
for each project. Procedures for these projects will include a full review of the plans and specifications, and funding
source requirements, to develop complete checklists of requirements for construction operations, documentation, and
reimbursement requests.

KOA will coordinate QA/QC activities on a daily basis and review activities as they happen, to make sure that QA/
QC procedures are followed and deficiencies are resolved in a timely and efficient manner. The CM will maintain a
chronological log of all records. Rejected work will be thoroughly documented, photographed, and tracked until repaired
or replaced to the satisfaction of the City.
The primary objective of KOA's quality control program is to ensure that every aspect of the work is constructed in
accordance with the contract documents and approved submittals, in compliance with the applicable code and to
industry standards. In addition, that it is performed consistent with the owner's expectation. Regular quality control
checks include:
• Obtaining Contractor input regarding materials, means and methods;
• Management of contract documents to assure that only the most current documents are used;
• Management of submittals and approvals to ensure complete contract compliance;
• Management of samples and all associated approvals to ensure contract compliance;
• Verification of site conditions to ensure that all preparatory work required to be performed is complete and that
the work areas are safe;
• Develop and follow the approved Quality Assurance Plan (QAP)
• Monitoring of all contract work -in -progress to ensure that quality standards are consistent with contract
documents, which includes testing and deputy inspection;
• Documentation of quality procedures, checklists, test and inspections;
• Maintain detailed written and photographic records to protect the City against spurious claims.
KOA's quality control plan will address each aspect of construction management and inspection. The issues addressed
include adherence to budget; generating a forecast of potential expenses to maximize time for financial decisions;
monitoring and addressing schedule issues; safety monitoring; quality monitoring; progress reporting; documentation
control; construction management budget; and morale check of the team. KOA's main objectives are to construct a
project that meets or beats the project requirements with the most economical cost and with minimal frustration for the
City. We strive to fully closeout projects quickly and efficiently with no remaining issues to resolve. QA will apply to each
phase of the project-Constructability Review, Pre -Construction Coordination, Construction Phase, and Closeout.

We understand that time is of the essence for this project. The work must be pursued aggressively to completion while
coordinating with concurrent site work (including utility undergrounding). KOA will stay on top of the schedule and
require the Contractor to show good faith in completing the work on time and on budget. Factors affecting production,
such as material deliveries, laborers, and coordination of work will be discussed weekly, and more often as needed
to maintain progress. Where progress is impacted, KOA will require the Contractor to provide alternate schedule
modifications to perform the work.
During the progress of construction, KOA will compare the contractor's monthly schedule updates to the baseline
schedule and any approved time extensions, note any shortcomings and monitor and track corrections by the Contractor
to keep the Project Schedule on track. KOA will closely monitor the contractor's work. The contractor will be required
to submit a four -week look -ahead schedule at the weekly meetings which will be updated weekly and presented at the
weekly construction progress meetings. This is a very effective tool in helping to coordinate the construction operation,
particularly regarding interface operations with the City's activities. This tool will keep the entire team looking one -month
ahead of the project and will facilitate proactive handling of project activities and issues. If necessary, KOA will negotiate
time extensions due to change orders or other delays.
WEEKLY PROGRESS MEETINGS
Weekly progress meetings will be mandatory for the Contractor and staff, and optional or on an as needed basis for the
City and design team staff. All parties are invited to attend in person or via remote. Meeting minutes will be distributed
to all team members. Meeting discussions will focus on: Contractor's detailed Four -Week look -ahead schedule, Status
of actual overall progress compared to the baseline schedule, Progress and major decisions during the last week,
Discussion of important issues or issues which require detailed discussion or review of plans and specifications, Update of
unresolved items from previous meetings, and the Status of submittals, RFI's and change orders.
POTENTIAL L
Contractor/Subcontractor Performance, Delivery of the project is ultimately dependent on the performance of the
Contractor, and by extension, vital subcontractors. The Contractor (and Subcontractors) should be incentivized to perform
as contracted by including contract features such as the Performance Bond, Liquidated Damages, and stipulated schedule
reporting requirements. Schedule shall show critical path items which will be pursued aggressively. Upon default, the
Contractors bonding company will assume project ownership and will need to pursue completion of the project, but we
want to avoid that condition as much as possible.
Architect. Prompt, timely participation by the Architect in providing supportive feedback is critical to maintaining the
schedule and avoiding delay claims from the Contractor. We will expect the Architect to actively engage in the process
and provide timely responses to Requests for Information, proposed Change Orders, Submittal Reviews, and general
project questions. The Architect should participate in project reviews, meetings, and anticipate upcoming difficulties.
Material Deliveries. Delivery of materials has proven to be a huge difficulty in meeting project schedules this year.
Manufacturing and supply chain delays have added up to a year of delay for some material deliveries. While recent
shipping costs have declined, we have seen a significant rise in cancelled shipments, and manufacturing issues persist. For
critical materials, we strongly advise our clients to consider purchasing materials prior to construction and supply to the
Contractor as "Owner Provided Materials". We are finding that some products are simply not available for at least a year,
and that we need to consider the use of alternate products. On the other hand, construction is expected to decline over
the near future, which may free up the availability of products and construction labor.
Site Coordination. Due to no fault of the Contractor, ongoing parallel site work by others (such as the underground utility
work) may obstruct the project and delay the work. KOA, the Contractor, and the City will need to coordinate work with
others to ensure that conflicts are negated or minimized.
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
JFN ir', ,® ���11
o
A LOCHNER COMPANY
Subcontractor Coordination. Often, specialty subcontractors will be schedule on multiple projects simultaneously that
result in'delays to appearing on site and/or providing competent personnel. KOA will work with the Contractor to monitor
Subcontractor performance and outlook, especially on the 4 week look ahead schedule. Problem Subcontractors may
need to be replaced if necessary to maintain performance and schedule.
We have managed to control project delays on various projects by considering or implementing one or more of the
above measures.
SCHEDULE REVIEW
KOA is very familiar with the entire mainstream scheduling software utilized by the public works contracting industry,
including, but not limited to Primavera and Microsoft Project®. KOA will review the baseline construction schedule,
including activity sequences and duration, schedule of submittals and schedule of delivery for products with long lead-
times. The KOA Team can evaluate the baseline project schedule for the following:
• Consistency with the contract schedule;
• Accurate start dates, completion dates, other dates detailed in the contract;
• Any impacts of weather and change orders;
• Sufficient detail, including submittal process and procurement requirements, especially for long lead items;
• Sequence of construction and correct schedule logic; and
• Identification of the critical path and project float.
The schedule will not be approved as the baseline until all discrepancies are resolved.

Bac ,eround and History
The Urho Saari Swim Stadium is named after a highly regarded swim coach who came to the area in
1941. Urho Saari coached Olympic water polo and swim teams. He quickly became an athletic aquatic
legend in the South Bay region. The Urho Saari Swim Stadium is a beloved jewel to the residents of El
Segundo. Originally built in 1940 as a federal government Work Progress Administration (WPA) project,
the larger pool has 8 lanes and is 25 yards long. There is also a separate junior pool. Both pools operate
on the same filtration system and all pool systems (filtration, chlorination, and mechanical) are in need of
an upgrade.
Prior to COVID-19, the pool was programmed year-round, Monday- Friday 7a.m.-9pm, Saturday 6am-
3:30pm and Sunday, 8am-12pm. The shallow end of the large pool is 4-feet and the deepest end of the
pool is 12-feet. In the past, swim teams and water polo teams used the pool for practices, scrimmages,
and meets. The City allows for private water polo teams to rent the space for practice and private
contractors to rent the pool for parent and me classes. City programming includes recreation swim, lap
swim, fitness classes, and swim lessons. The City has another outdoor year round facility (El Segundo
Wiseburn Aquatic Center) and one small outdoor seasonal facility (Hilltop Pool). Although a closure for
renovations will impact programming, some displaced programming can be accommodated at the larger
aquatic facility. See Attachment A for the Plunge Vicinity Map and Location Map.
For the conceptual phase of the project, in FY 20-21, the City partnered with Mithun Architect consultant,
and hosted community surveys, a virtual community meeting, and stakeholder meetings with staff and
Recreation and Parks Commission members to assist in guiding the conceptual design based on the
results of the needs assessment. The proposed conceptual design identified code compliance issues,
ADA requirements, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades and needed enhancements for CO2
systems and pool system controllers, while incorporating architectural enhancements that assist in
approving the overall appearance and feeling of the facility.
Page 2 of 10
Agreement No. 6726
Final De ien / Construction Document (Phase
For the final design of the project, the City engaged IBI Group, an architectural firm now part of Arcadis,
to provide a detailed engineering and architectural plan for the proposed renovation of the facility, which
will include specifications, special provisions, and construction contract documents based on
investigative analysis of the building. IBI Group work is broken into three main phases of work, which
include the following:
1. Schematic Design, from May 2022 to September 2022, included further refinement of the
conceptual design to determine required ADA improvements, fire protection, information
technology (IT), audio video (AV), and security upgrades, and suppression improvements, and
overall layout of locker rooms, pool equipment, the lobby area, the proposed terrace, and the
office space on the second floor. Data gathering, site visits, and preliminary investigations
occurred during this phase and the following information was obtained:
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment — provided to evaluated for Recognized
Environmental Conditions (RECs), Historical RECs (HRECs), or Controlled RECs (CRECs).
RECs, HRECs, or CRECs were not encountered during the investigation and preparation of
the report.
b. Hazardous Building Material Survey (for asbestos and lead) —Asbestos-containing
materials and lead -containing surfaces were documented to exist in the facility and will
need to be remediated during construction.
c. Historical Resources Evaluation Report — provided to evaluate eligibility for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Places. The
facility is not registered on either of the Registers, but is designated a Local Cultural
Resource by the City of El Segundo in 1994. The facility is being designed to maintain
historical eligibility and preserve the facilities character, should the City decide in the
future to apply for the National or State Registers.
d. Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Technology Concept Report— provides minimum
design criteria for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and technology for the design of the
facility.

recommendations for seismic and structural upgrades to the existing building.
2. Design Development, from January 2023 to March 2023, focused on further refinement of
equipment and material selection and layout throughout the facility. Additional investigative
analysis of the facility was done, including a leak detection study that found that the main drain
needs to be replaced, that additional analysis needs to be done related to the soil below the
pool, and that waterproofing the facility below grade may need to be evaluated. The City and IBI
are still investigating unforeseen conditions in the facility to be included in the final design of the
project.
Construction Documents, from April 2023 to July 2023, will focus on refining and finalizing the
plans and specifications for constructability, agency approval and for bidding. Toward the end of
this phase, the City expects to engage the Construction Management firm for constructability
reviews prior to bidding. Fully scope of services for Construction Management firm are herein.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
ADDENDUM NO. 1
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE URHO SAARI SWIM STADIUM
RFP No. 23-04
With regard to the above -reference proposal number, the City would like to respond to
questions received from interested consultants.
1. Has there been any efforts to classify the Plunge as a historical site? if so, what
was the outcome of these efforts?
City response: Please refer to the Historical Resources Group report titled
"Historical Resource Evaluation Report, The Plunge" dated October 2022. There
are no further efforts at this time to seek historical designation at the National,
State, or Regional levels of government. The City staff will go to the City of El
Segundo's Planning Commission to meet the requirements of the Local Cultural
Resource designation (per City municipal code).
2. 1 have watched a couple of the City Council meetings and my understanding is
the City is looking to bring on a full time PM as soon as possible (to help ensure
the project/schedule and milestones provided by your consultants is accurate,
realistic and in -line with the City's objectives). In essence, that the PM team is
representing the City's best interest with the various contractors during the pre -
construction and construction phase and calling upon their experience and
knowledge to provide insight and creative solutions. Given your experience with
the Plunge, do you know if the City is not looking for a full time PM/CM team at
any phase of this project, if so, will the city be providing resources (personnel)
for specific tasks.
City response: With this RFP, the City is looking to bring in a Project
Management / Construction Management team that will keep this project on
schedule as the project completes the Final Design in Fall 2023 and starts
construction in Spring 2024. The City Project Manager will be involved during
the project, and occasional existing staff, but no additional City resources will be
broughtin.

Agreement No. 6726
3. It is my understanding the City would like the construction/renovation phase to
begin in January 2024, has there been any construction timeline proposed by any
of your consultants? If so, given current market backlog and delays, has this been
factored into the timeline.
4. City response: The estimated construction timeline is 1-year, but a detailed
construction timeline has not been developed by design consultants. The
detailed construction timeline will be provided by the contractor as soon as the
project is awarded, for the City's approval.
5. Can any electronic documenting system be used? If so, will the City of El Segundo
provide this?
City response: An electronic documenting system can be used and should be
shared with the City of El Segundo. The City of El Segundo does not plan to
provide an electronic document system.
6. During the bid walk, it was noted that the City will not pursue LEED certification;
However, LEED parameters are shown on the specifications. Please clarify if the
city will pursue LEED certification.
City response: The City will not be pursing LEED certification.
7. Please advise when the 50% drawings will be released.
City response: Use link to 50% drawings:
8. Does the City of El Segundo anticipate any kind of food service at the facility?
City response: No.
9. Can the "Project Inspector" noted in Specification 0143 00 Section 1.12 Item A
be the PM or CIA lead?
City response: Section 0143 00, Section 1.12, Item A needs revision as the Final
Design of the specifications progresses. See City response to item 15 for
inspection services.

Agreement No. 6726
10. During the bid -walk, it was noted that a request will be made to have the
Architect provide a rough schedule. Please confirm if that will be the case and
will be shared prior to RFP deadline.
City response: No additional schedule will be provided. The contractor will be
responsible for a detailed schedule to be approved by the City.
11. Please confirm this job is prevailing wage.
City response: The contractor's work will be prevailing wage. The construction
manager's work will be per the Professional Services Agreement as provided in
the attachments.
12. Are there any moratoriums for construction?
City response: The City has a two week moratorium at the end of the calendar
year. All Municipal Code requirements related to work hours and noise
ordinance shall be adhered to.
13. The scope describes utility coordination, as needed. Has the City retained the
services of a Dry Utility Consultant? What is the design team's scope for dry
utility coordination?
City response: The design team does not have a dry utility consultant. However,
Southern California Edison (SCE) design work has been initiated during the Final
Design phase, and coordination is currently occurring between SCE and the
Electrical Designer.
14. Under Project Management, Design, and Bidding Services, Section 4/Item G, it
calls out developing a critical path schedule/baseline schedule. It is typically the
responsibility of the contractor to provide a critical path schedule which the
construction manager reviews. Please confirm the construction manager is only
responsible for reviewing the baseline schedule prepared by the contractor.
City response: The contractor will be responsible for developing the critical path
schedule/baseline schedule and the construction manager will be responsible for
review. The review should include identifying tasks that could be sequenced
differently in order to pick up time in the schedule. This will have to be
coordinated between City, construction manager, and contractor, and will be
evolving throughout the life of the project.

Agreement No. 6726
15. Please confirm the inspection services described are quality assurance only?
Confirm all code related inspections shall be provided by the building
department and other authorities having jurisdictions.
City response: Building code inspections will be performed by the Authority
Having Jurisdiction (City of El Segundo). The construction manager will be
responsible for quality assurance, including verifying/inspecting that the plans
and specifications are being implemented per design. The construction manager
will also assist in coordinating specialty inspections and County Health Code
inspections.
16. In Section 4, Item D, there is reference to a "Lead Designer". Please confirm only
Project Management services are being requested.
City response: Correct; only construction management service are requested.
"Lead Designer" was accidently included in the proposal and should be removed.
17. The RFP notes construction starting in Spring 2024, does the City have a
proposed construction duration?
City response: The City is estimating 1 year construction period. The
construction manager should estimate services for a 1 year construction period.
As stated in the RFP, NTP is anticipated in August/September 2023 for the
construction manager services. Construction manager should include the PM
and bid phase services for a 6-month period prior to construction start. .
18. (Section 5 of your Professional Services Agreement) Non -Appropriation of Funds.
Does it mean if a CM services contract is entered into by city, and the full CM
contract amount is not encumbered within your current fiscal year - will the full
contract amount be covered irrespective of the fiscal year the CM services fall
under?
City response: The full amount will be encumbered when the contract is
awarded. If the project goes into multiple fiscal years, the encumbered funds
will be transferred to subsequent years.

19. (Section 9 of your Professional Services Agreement) Time Extensions: With
regard to delays beyond the Consultant's control, will the additional costs the
consultant incurs as a result of these delays be compensated by the city at the
appropriate billable rates for staff working on the project?
City response: If the project experiences delays beyond the consultant's control,
it is expected that the consultant find ways to mitigate staffing hours that may
not be needed during potential delays. The City will compensate consultants at
appropriate billable rates when deemed necessary and appropriate for the work
being performed.
20. General Requirements: Will the city provide temporary offices for the CM staff?
City response: The City can currently commit to one cubicle space at City Hall. If
future needs arise, the City and consultant can discuss office arrangements in
more detail.
21. Section 4, Item G in RFP (Proposed Schedule): Proposed Schedule to provide the
consultant services starting from the date of receipt of a Notice to Proceed from
the City. The consultant shall review the submitted schedule by the contractor.
In coordination with the contractor, the consultant shall establish a baseline
schedule and critical path schedule throughout the project.
City response: The Proposed Schedule should be provided by the contractor
during construction, and this Item G in the proposal will not be required to be
submitted by construction manager consultants (and will not be scored as part
of this proposal). However, if the consultant has recommendations for proposed
schedules, it will be welcome in the proposal.
