CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION
Because this project will be made up of very different components with
a high probability of different funding sources, Construction Phasing is
highly recommended. As part of that process, there are several key
points that could be beneficial in planning for a long term project.
Clear roles and responsibilities are key to effective administration. This
would involve a system of thorough documentation and construction
monitoring. Clear lines of communication will ensure a common
understanding. Continuity between the owner and the A/E team will
ensure success.
Periodic meetings should be scheduled to reinforce the lines of
communication and facilitate progress. This process should include a
review of the submittal process, a key administrative activity that is
where quality control starts. It is necessary no matter what project
delivery method is used. The submittal process needs to be efficient
and prompt. Site visits, observations and inspections should be clearly
defined and properly documented. Outstanding items should be tracked
accurately.
