Our experience has proven the CM process aligns the goals and objectives of the project with the incentives and objectives of the project team. Through this alignment, the project and our clients benefit from improved planning, budgeting, decision making, execution, and quality.

D. APPROACH TO MANAGING CONSTRUCTION
Based on project information available at this time AlliedCook Construction’s suggested construction management approach for the additions and alterations to the Thomas Memorial Librarywouldbe:
• Explorealloptionstodelivertheprojectinacost-efficientandtimelymanner.• EstablishasafeandsecureprojectsitetoprotectPondCoveElementarySchoolstudents, staff, and the general public during construction.• EnsurethestructuralandhistoricintegrityoftheSpurwinkSchoolandPondCoveSchool Annex are preserved.• Constructthenewadditionwhilerenovatingtheexistingstructuretoreduceprojectduration.• ConstructthenewparkinglotattheearliestopportunityintheSpringof2015.
List of Projects Where In-Kind Donations Were UsedAlliedCook will identify potential in-kind services that you may want to pursue with donors. AlliedCook is a fairly flat and lean organization which works well with our non-profit clients as our project team members are involved in every aspect of the project from beginning to end. We believe this promotes team unity and typically includes our subcontractor teams’ “buy-in” to do what is in the best interests of the project.
The following are projects where in-kind donations were used:
Sweetser
Center For Grieving Children
Cancer Community Center
E. CURRENT BONDING CAPACITYAlliedCook maintains a bonding program with single project capability up to $35 million with an aggregateof$50million.Whenrequiredwecanquicklyandeasilyprovidebondingforanyofour projects.

3. Work Performed with Own Forces
AlliedCook Construction anticipates issuing subcontracts for all trade packages on this project to avoid a potential conflict of interest during the bidding process.However, AlliedCook doesmaintain carpentry crews that can be considered for some aspects of the work. Typically, our self-perform work is in support activities on the project site including:
• OSHA/safetyrequirements• Progresscleanup• Temporary heat and protection• Blocking/miscellaneous carpentry• Caulking/fire sealing• Material handling/lift operation
• MiscellaneousDivision10installations
AlliedCook crews can be utilized to quickly accomplish minor changes in the field as well. Our crews and resources can supplement subcontractor work forces if required, to maintain critical schedule demands. The self-perform AlliedCook team members have proven to be very valuable to Owners on similar projects acting to complete quick turnaround and incidental items that may arise.
Ensuring the Project is Competitively BidAlliedCook will ensure the project is competitively bid by building subcontractor interest in the project. This will be accomplished by advertising the project in local newspapers (Cape Courier andPortlandPressHerald)andbymakingdirectcallsofinteresttosubcontractorstoensureatleast three bids for each trade discipline. In an effort to achieve the best subcontractor coverage and pricing, AlliedCook will hold site visits and job walks with specific trades to answer any questions or concerns and to confirm project scopes, timing and quality expectations. We will confirmcoverageinkeyareassuchasmechanical,electricalandplumbing(MEP),demolition,restoration, roofing, siding, carpentry, windows, paint, doors and hardware, masonry and site work. All subcontractors will be asked to submit company qualifications and resumes of lead supervisors/foremen to be assigned to the project.
