Facilities Services

Service

Overview

Facilities maintenance and services are one of our specialties. We currently employ two successful pre-negotiated service delivery methods to assist our clients.

 

  • STANDING ORDER: This is ideally suited for situations requiring a quick turnaround, emergency resolution, or projects affecting operational capabilities. The agreement establishes billing rates for supervisory and crafts personnel, materials and equipment, and subcontractor costs. With only a phone call, the client's needs will be immediately responded to with an integrated solution. We will self-perform work per our expertise and subcontract certified technicians as required
  • LABOR ASSIST: Arrangement whereby we will provide skilled labor to work side-by-side with the client's workforce or to supplement a smaller facility crew. This arrangement is often used where the scope of work is undefined, such as ongoing maintenance and repairs and seasonal services. Costs are billed on an hourly basis, with negotiated rates for labor and materials.

We also offer traditional pricing options to allow the flexibility to best accommodate our clients budget and purchasing requirements:

  • DESIGN BUILD: Project delivery method is ideal for projects where time and cost control is the priority. This method allows for single team sourcing of design and construction, which improves flexibility for continuing design and modifications during construction with as little impact as possible on the schedule. With the owner and contractor working closely together, it becomes easier to monitor expenses and deadlines.
  • LUMP SUM: This is the traditional project delivery method, and most common when required thorough public funding. Construction and bid documents are provided by the owner's design team for contractors to formulate a lump sum bid. Contracts are awarded based on the bid price from qualified contractors. This method is typically the most rigid on schedule design.
  • NEGOTIATED: Project delivery involves the contractor early in the design process where there is the greatest opportunity for the contractor to add value to the project. An agreement is signed and usually includes preliminary pricing, construction analysis, and value engineering. A Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) is provided when the plans are complete. A GMP can protect the owner by placing a cap on construction costs while savings are credited to the owner. This method allows for a very open dialogue on all costs throughout the project. Subcontract and material components are competitively bid.
