SCOPE OF WORK

PROJECT MANAGEMENT While we understand this isn’t of initial concern, we wanted to expand on C&W’s Project & Development Services offerings in the event our assistance is required as the process evolves. Cushman & Wakefield’s project management team, Project & Development Services (PDS), understands that real estate decisions go beyond scope, schedule, and budget. We manage the planning, design, and construction process, to ensure value and savings, without sacrificing quality. Our project managers consistently deliver 10% to 15% construction cost savings to our clients and schedule improvements, while minimizing project risks. C&W’s PDS team pursues the best solutions on behalf of our clients. It is not as simple as saying, on time and on budget. We listen closely to our clients, fully grasping their project goals and business needs while driving quality beyond their expectations. It takes determination to produce that level of work, and world-class expertise to do it well. C&W provides expert, end-to-end Project Management services that remove the risk for our clients. The key to our success is early involvement. Our Project Management team assists transaction teams with initial building selection activities while providing advice and input on work letters and related lease provision. Ultimately, we are engaged to bring work culture to life. C&W will manage the entire construction process from up-front strategic planning to move and relocation services. Lined-Up Service Providers – Cushman & Wakefield maintains a network of external architectural and engineering service providers and is able to make contractor recommendations based on site location and scope of the services required. These providers are accompanied by our in-house project and development services team.

The Request for Proposal (RFP) & Competitive Bidding Process – Cushman & Wakefield has a highly developed process for the creation and distribution of RFPs, analyzing the responses, and ultimately providing disciplined recommendations on vendors and consultants for this project based upon cost, quality, experience, industry reputation, and more. Process – After identifying all team members, Cushman & Wakefield will create a list of potential bidders for each discipline that will receive an RFP. We routinely include all the vendors and consultants that have an existing relationship with our clients on the RFP distribution list. RFP Package – After having identified the need for a specific consultant on your project and created a potential bid list, the RFP package will be prepared. This document is extremely flexible and can easily be customized for the relevant discipline. Each RFP must assure that the appropriate scope is presented to the bidders and will help establish each vendor’s qualifications for the work at hand. Response – The responses are received, date stamped, and logged-in as they are delivered to the office. A bid opening meeting will be scheduled with all applicable team members promptly after receipt of the responses. An analysis of the responses will then be undertaken to ensure that all responding firms are consistent in their understanding of the project. In many instances, inconsistencies in the content of the responses are evident and inquiries will be made to clarify the responses. Award – Upon completion of the leveling process, a series of interviews will be scheduled to establish a comfort level prior to awarding the contract. Clarios will then select award winners.
