2. SCHEDULE <br />We believe construction projects are far greater than the sum of their parts. <br />• Indicate any items of concern that may cause delays to your outline. <br />Our key project team members compiled the schedule on the previous page, showing a path to completion <br />on July 1st, 2026. While designs are not yet complete, materials have not all been selected, and other forces <br />outside of our control could impact the schedule, we believe that we have prepared an aggressive but <br />achievable logic -based schedule. Meeting this schedule will require an engaged owner, responsive design <br />partners, committed subcontractors, and aggressive schedule management. Several considerations for this <br />schedule and accommodations include the following: <br />Utility + Rough Grading: We believe it will be necessary to have the site graded, and to have sewer <br />and water utilities installed before winter. Since utility work is already slated to start in October and <br />be completed this fall, it may be cost effective to have the same contractor complete rough grading <br />at the same time. We believe the cost of this work will be less than $175,000, allowing the work to be <br />procured without public bidding. <br />+ Early Procurement: Immediately upon selection, our team would request City approval to procure a <br />400 amp switchgear and work with Connexus Energy to procure the new Transformer. These materials <br />can carry very long lead times and will need to be purchased before the GMP is submitted. Switchgear <br />may be purchased most efficiently using the State's Sourcewell contract. <br />+ Early Start: Our schedule requires ground thawing and frost ripping to install concrete foundations <br />this winter since these foundations must be installed before sub -grade MEP and aquatic piping can be <br />installed. H+U has frost blankets available for the project, and with City approval, would install them in <br />late November once the rough grading is completed, in order to maintain frost at a more manageable <br />depth to help expedite foundation excavation and allow it to be completed more efficiently. <br />+ Road Restrictions: All heavy equipment, specifically excavation equipment, must be delivered to and <br />stored at the site before road restrictions come into effect; typically in late February or early March. <br />Our schedule has us starting foundation excavation in early February, immediately after the GMP is <br />approved on January 27th. This makes the GMP approval date critical to the overall schedule, as a <br />2-3 week delay in approval could jeopardize our ability to bring equipment to the site and start on <br />schedule. <br />+ On -Site Storage: We want to encourage subcontractors to deliver materials to the site as early as <br />possible to ensure that materials are readily available when needed. To accommodate this and because <br />there is ample land adjacent to the park, we propose to provide secure Conex storage boxes on site <br />for subcontractor use. <br />+ Design Team Considerations: We would like to review final specifications as early as possible, so that our <br />team has an opportunity to identify schedule impacts and request changes as necessary. Specifications <br />sometimes include things like a 3-week green up period before plantings can be installed and lengthy <br />timelines for plantings establishment, which we would request be waived in consideration of the <br />completion date. <br />V H+U CONSTRUCTION <br />www.hu-construction.com PAGE 5 <br />
