Upper Providence Township Emergency Services Facility

D’Huy Engineering, Inc. (DEI) was the construction manager for the pre-design, design, and construction phases of the Upper Providence Township Emergency Services Facility. DEI was responsible for establishing the budget, scheduling, retaining the architect services, constructibility reviews, Township permitting, land development assistance, and on-site representation during construction for the project. DEI provided front-end specifications and developed a construction phasing and staging plan. The project incorporated a best-value strategy to provide the township with a sustainable, energy efficient, durable andmaintainable building. One feature is a full Plymovent system in the apparatus bay to capture vehicle exhaust. The facilitywill operate as a 24-hour staffed building and includes 4 apparatus bays, a training room that also acts as the Emergency Operations Center for the township. Also included are administrative spaces, a day room, bunk rooms and space for EMT services. The 21,300 square foot building was completed in 20-months and was approximately $300,000 under budget, all of which was done during COVID.

3 Uncompromised Approach to Safety and Phasing

6 Continuous Risk Management to Minimize Owner Liability • Continuous focus on compliance with phasing and work scope. • Proactive prompts on submittals, reviews and timely delivery. • Web-Based Project Management Software • Site Utilization and security planning • Organized Commissioning and Turnover process. • Third party: -Construction Testing -Testing and Balancing -Commissioning and Verification 4 Relentless Focus on Budget and Best Value • DEI uses a continuous Value Engineering (VE) process to help reduce cost and increase function. We focus on project goals to guide decisions throughout the construction process. • We vigorously pursue the resolution of cost events and their impacts and seeks alternate solutions. • The Township will continuously be apprised of construction and overall project budget status.

• Safety on a construction site is important, there is no compromise on this. • We begin the project with the end in mind to ensure Owner’s goals are achieved! • The phasing and

milestone plan will be implemented from day one. 5 Diligent Concentration on Schedule and Milestones • DEI’s first step after being hired will be to create a detailed design phase schedule including permitting and approval timelines. • A construction schedule will also be created and integrated into the contract documents with important milestones. • The purpose of all schedules will be to keep everyone accountable, the design team, the contractors and even you, the owner to ensure the project is completed on time and all criteria are met!

Comprehensive Services

BEGINWITH THE END IN MIND Right from the start we focus the team on the goals of the stakeholders. Continuous reporting to the Owner and it’s community is a DEI Hallmark

LEED EXPERIENCE DEI has completed 13 LEED Gold Cert building, obtained $26M in State gr and manages Energy Star Programs K-12 Districts. We continuously pu energy savings design. our clients.

MULTI-DISCIPLINE TEAM As construction managers we do more than shuffle paper. We bring a wide array of highly skilled and licensed architects and engineers to every project to provide technical solutions to issues and implement best practices.

SYSTEM FOCUS & VALUE ENGINEERING

Our staff is adept at facilitating meaningful collaboration between Owner, Architect, and CM early in the design to select the best systems, identifying strategies to reduce the project cost, shorten the schedule, and improve long-term maintenance and energy consumption.

SCHEDULE-DRIVEN APPROACH Our schedule-driven approach means planning the work, then working the plan. During design, DEI documents well-defined milestones for each team member, which establishes clear account- ability for the project schedule during design and construction.

PROCUREMENT From design agreement to the selection of support professionals and ultimately the procurement of brick and mortar, we strategically protect owners from risk.

CONSTRUCTIBILITY REVIEWS Identifying issues in the design phase is the most effective way to avoid costly change orders during construction. DEI assembles skilled technical teams who utilize a proven methodology for comprehensive reviews tailored to each phase of the design process.

BUDGETING EXPERTISE Our estimating team, led by our Certified Professional Estimator, prepares comprehensive budgets early in the project, updates this budget throughout the design phase, and uses the budget to “reign in” the architect when needed to keep within the available funds.

tified rants s for ursue

CONSTRUCTION PHASING Assembling detailed construction phasing information allows contractors to prepare aggressive bids with fewer contingencies. During construction, these phasing documents provide a transparent roadmap to document progress and confirm that milestones will be met.

BIM CAPABILITIES DEI regularly uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) to deliver projects. Leveraging the clash detection capabilities of this software is a cost-effective way to identify and eliminate conflicts before construction even starts.

DEI utilizes online construction management software, such as Projectmates, on all major projects. We are known for our complete documentation and thorough reporting for Owners. ONLINE CM SOFTWARE

SAFETY CULTURE Keeping construction sites safe for our staff, contractors, and building inhabitants is crucial. Our experienced resident project representatives communicate regularlywith contractors as each implement their project-specific health and safety plans.

PROTECT THE DISTRICT We provide management strategies from start to finish. This includes sound contract language, clear work scopes and relentless effort to resolve issues quickly. OWNER

At DEI we treat every project as if it were our own home. This attention to detail, accountability for actions, and pride of ownership stands out to Owners and contractors and is clearly evident in the finished project. PRIDE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
