Business footprint:
Project background information:
Following the new tender advertisements by the Federal Government towards designing, building, renovation, and maintenance of the major bridges and road network constructions across the State of California, the company is seeking to engage the government into securing a three years’ contractual agreement. The following footprint will guide how the construction operations and management will be executed upon government review and successful appointment to the bid (Planning 78).
Project scope:
In accordance to the terms and conditions of the project contract, upon successful qualification, the Brooklyn Construction Company Design Build Contractor (DBC) will be entitled with the entire construction project, by independently coordinating all the infrastructural work from the road and bridge design, establishment, installations of signage, traffic control fittings, and erection of the lighting systems (Planning 83). The workflow and other site project management shall be run in accordance with the Federal Government Business Opportunities Protocols.
The project design and operational phases will be developed and implemented in line with the United States Design and Construction Management Regulations, defining all the procedures and operations according to the prevailing construction law and policy (Highway Capacity and Quality of Service 81). In event of any conflict between the Design Build Contractor and the Federal Government, this contractual document will set precedence and will be referred in lieu of such conflicting elements.
Project products and services:
The company will be scheduled to complete four major bridges interspersed within San Diego, and manage major interstate highways overhauls across Sacramento, Los Angles, San Francisco and Texas. Brooklyn Company will facilitate the project design criteria, however, according to the specifications of the Federal Government Road Infrastructural and Engineering Department Provisions. The company will make its own purchases of the construction inputs, such as asphalt, concrete, composite pavement, gravel and ballast, cobblestone, granite setts, bituminous materials, and acoustical applications (Transit 107).
The firm is set to comply with the national accepted standards of project raw materials and inputs. In this regard, the firm will operate on a turnkey contractual basis, where the firm will manage the entire project according to the client specifications, and later present the entire project as a product to be purchased. This strategy will ensure that Brooklyn Company confines its operations within the Federal Government budget (Planning 95).
Equipment and Employees:
As the main contractor, Brooklyn Company will provide a professional team of Civil Engineers, Project Oversight Officers, Cost Engineers, Planning, and Policy Officers Hydraulic engineer, Structural Engineer, and Environmental Overseers.
With the fact that the firm keeps abreast with the latest technology and equipment, the firm is better placed to provide its fleet of heavy road construction machinery. The firm will utilize the following equipment and machinery in this project: the air-track drills, chip spreader, cold planers, compactors, curb, and crushing machines, pavers, graders, rollers and road mixers (Roland 99).
Volume of documents:
After presenting the request for proposal (RFP) document, the company will submit projected design models and map-work of the project sites. In addition, construction risk management matrix and data sheets will be provided to the Road and Infrastructural Engineering State Department for analysis and reviews (Planning 117). Upon successful appointment to run the project, the firm will provide catalogues and material input descriptions as per the Standards and Quality Assurance State Department stipulations within two weeks. The company will provide weekly reports on progress and status reviews, which will be shared between the Design Build Contractor and the Federal Government offices.
According to the Federal Government planning policy, each fiscal year is marked with contracts not exceeding USD 500-billion on annual basis, which must then be distributed across the prioritized development projects in the economy. The government then distributed these contracts across the various federal agencies and states, and later assigned to competent firms as per the set policies (Planning 127). According to the law, any successful company will only be entitled to three contracts, upon successful bidding, with chances of renewal at the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, the construction firm will limit itself within a budget of up to USD 50-billion, factoring that the country has 50 states.
Contract application process:
The firm will then prove its capabilities in delivering a quality project within the set budget, and within the set period. Therefore, the firm must conduct comprehensive risk assessment and management procedures that will be completed in phases, with complete documentation and submission of the same to the Federal Business Opportunities headquarters for review.
The first phase, which must be completed within the next two weeks, include risks identification, where all risks will be highlighted against their implications on the project outcome. Secondly, the firm will conduct a risk assessment process that will focus on alleviating the risks, assigning financial and time implications to each of the highlighted risks, with prospects of managing the risks and their implications.
Thirdly, the firm must provide a documented evidence in verifying its past and present professional expertise record in mitigating the risk, by providing viable solutions that guarantees that the projected outcome is attained within the least risk margins. Lastly, the firm will provide a risk monitoring plan and a contingency plan that must be assessed on 90 percent confidence levels (Planning 80). These procedures will be reviewed under the direction of the Federal Business Opportunities, with all the rights to assigning the contracts to a competent construction firm remaining under the discretion of this oversight federal body.
Conclusion:
With the technical and professional experience that Brooklyn Construction Company has demonstrated over the past 75 years, the company prevails as a leading player in the infrastructural industry. Having won a series of international contracts in mega-road construction road projects across North Canada within the last five years, the company has gained prominence in designing and executing construction projects across the United States and abroad (Transit 59). Consequently, the company prevails as the highly ranked company towards securing the prospective California State infrastructural project contract.
