Erin Deters, Project Engineer, explained that all the information and photos are added to the <br />software, which makes information easily sharable between the members of the team. <br />Mr. Schoenecker stated that Ms. Deters has a drone license and therefore they can use the drone <br />to take pictures that can be shared with the public throughout the different phases of the project. <br />Ms. Deters noted that the information available on the project in the software would also be <br />shared with the subcontractors to ensure that all parties have the most up to date information <br />available. <br />Mr. Koepp stated that he maintains a master project schedule, which would include an extensive <br />list of line items that are updated and distributed on a monthly basis. <br />Mr. Schwinghammer stated that he creates a two/three-week ahead schedule for the contractors <br />and also to the project owner and members of the team which allows the progress to be tracked <br />within a three-week period. <br />Mr. Koepp stated that they would hold bi-weekly meetings with the subcontractors. He stated <br />that the firm would be available to provide updates to the City Council. He stated that <br />communication is another focus and noted that members of the team are always available via cell <br />phone. <br />Mr. Schoenecker recognized that the Council is interviewing two additional firms and <br />highlighted the fact that his firm would bring exposure and interest from contractors and vendors <br />in the central Minnesota area as well as the metro. He stated that his firm spends a sufficient <br />amount of time on the preconstruction phase to ensure that the building is well constructed and <br />well thought out and budgeted. <br />Councilmember Heinrich asked if there would be a markup on change orders. <br />Mr. Schoenecker replied that there would not be a mark up from the firm, unless it were a major <br />scope change that was not included in the original design. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer introduced the next firm, RJM Construction. <br />Brian Recker, President, thanked the Council for allowing the firm to join them tonight. He <br />provided background information on the construction management experience he has had for the <br />past 15 years, noting that he has worked with the members of his team for nearly that long. <br />Brad Barickman, Vice President, stated that he would be the project principle and has been in the <br />construction industry for 15 years, currently leading the community market sector, which <br />consists of municipal projects. He believed that a quality team has been assembled with <br />experienced members. <br />City Council Work Session / August 27, 2019 <br />Page 4 of 8 <br />
