There Is Still More Work To Be Done First Phase of Program • Despite Nearly $20 Billion of Investments, Billions of Unmet Capital Needs Remain • For the Past 17 Years… • We’ve Been Making Up for Decades of Neglect • The Emphasis of the Bond Program Has Been on New School Construction • However… • Overcrowding has Severely Increased the Wear and Tear of Buildings and Decreased Their Life Expectancy • Operational Funding for Deferred Maintenance Does Not Keep Up With Capital Need • The Vast Majority of Students Attend School in Legacy Schools
Initiating Next Phase of the Bond Program • 2008 -- $7 Billion School Construction Bond, Measure Q Approved • Due to Nationwide Economic Downturn, Until Recently District was Unable To Initiate Next Phase of Bond Program • Constrained by an Inability to Issue Bonds, District Has Focused Efforts on Assessing the Conditions of our School Facilities • Completed Capital Needs Assessment and Planning Effort • Facilities Condition Assessment in Progress • $7,852,970,000 Allocated to Support Development of New Projects Under “School Upgrade Program”
What is Construction Management? A professional service that applies effective management techniques to the planning, design, and construction of a project from inception to completion for the purpose of controlling time, cost and quality. Construction Management is a discipline and management system specifically created to promote the successful execution of capital projects for owners.
Why Use a Professional CM? • Promote communication and understanding for everyone involved the project. • Help bring projects in on schedule, within budget, environmentally compliant and at appropriate quality. • Anticipate, avoid and resolve potential problems. • Reconcile the scope of work to the budget. • Manage overall budget and schedule conformance. • Manage procurement and quality control for multiple projects. • Manage M/WBE participation program. • Coordinate technology program.
School Building Process • Primary components of School Construction: • Determining the Need • Defining Projects • Acquiring Project Sites • CEQA/Environmental Assessment • Designing Projects • Construction & School Opening Each of the require unique expertise and must be orchestrated diligently to achieve success, and maximize the contribution of state, local and federal funds.
School Building Process The typical duration of a new school project ranges from four to six years
The Challenge • Need Expert knowledge. • Specific experience and trained professional is required. • Workload is fluctuating . • Scope of work is specific to a project or the program. • You are in the schools business, not the construction business. Whether in-house or outsourced, professional construction management can help.
Most Common Approach AEs hired and work begins without first developing a comprehensive plan for entire program. • Scope Standards • Design Standards • Equity Standards • Prototypes • Scope to Budget Exercise ? Program S i t e Brain Storming $
Programming • and Start-up • Establish Baseline • Scope • Budgets • Schedule More than Construction Start Up Preconstruction Procurement Construction Opportunity Curve Getting it Right Savings Potential Time
Where CMs Add Value • Upfront Planning • Financial/Funding Strategies • Community Outreach • Program Controls • Design (Preconstruction) • Procurement and Delivery • Construction • Project Closeout • O&M
Why Use Construction Management Firms? • Expert knowledge is not present in the District. • District recruitment process is not meeting the requirements: • Process takes too long • District salary rates are not able to attract qualified candidates • Firms recruit nationwide for top candidates. • Reductions in consultant staffing do not require long, tedious, and detrimental must place process necessary for District employees. • Avoids placing the fiscal burden on the District of permanent District employees who will require funding for the length of their career. • Consultants provide corporate level support and training at no additional cost to District. • Requirement is not long term or permanent (cyclical nature of the work). • Tight budgets and funding requires innovation to maximize purchasing. • Aggressive scheduling requires faster turnaround time. • District requires assistance beyond design and construction help, e.g. standards, FFE, move management, training of maintenance staff, etc.
The Program • Managed by Construction Manager Certification Institute (CMCI), an affiliate of CMAA, the leading organization for certifying professional CM/PM. • Accredited by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) under the International Standard Organization‘s (ISO) 17024 standard. • Endorsed by the Construction Industry Institute (CII), University of Texas: “A value adding credential for those in responsible charge of major phases of capital projects.” • Currently +2,200 CCMs, with roster growing rapidly.
Certified Construction Managers • Have demonstrated mastery of the Construction Management Association’s (CMAA) Standards of Practice and the Construction Industry Institute’s (CII) Best Practices Guide. • Proven their leadership and competency through responsible-in-charge experience. • Must keep their skills and knowledge fresh through recertification. • Deliver the benefits of industry-standard services on every job. • Provides owners with an objective assurance of knowledge skill and abilities.

Testimonial “The $26billion new school construction and modernization program of Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is the largest school construction program in the nation’s history. Since 1997, LAUSD has been utilizing Construction Management (CM) Firms to augment District staff to support this School Construction Bond Program. The timely access to industry expertise through the CM firms has proven to be crucial and essential for the operation of this program. CM firms have been supplementing the LAUSD staff with expert CM professionals for continued success of this program. More than 100 CM Firms participate in LAUSD’s Bond Program. CM contracts have been re-procured several times over the course of the Bond Program. In the recent re-procurement of CM contracts the criteria used to evaluate the proposals included CM Firms commitment to achieve Certified Construction Manager (CCM) credentials for their employees. The RFP also required the firms to list the number of candidates with CCM credential that the firms have provided to other public agencies during the last two years. LAUSD requires a valid CCM credential for many positions filled by CM firms and also allows candidates with valid CCM credential to substitute the certification for minimum education qualification i.e. bachelor’s degree in engineering or construction management required for applying for positions filled using District employees. LAUSD strongly agrees that the value of certification shows the independent assessment of candidate’s knowledge and skills and assurance of competency and adherence to ethical standards. LAUSD believes that the construction managers with CCM credentials, protects the interests of the project and the owner.” Raju Kaval, CCM, DBIA Director of Program Support Services Los Angeles Unified School District
Committing to the Future Having a Certified Construction Manager lead your project increases the chances for: • Reduced Risk • Increased Sustainability • Keep on Schedule • Stay on Budget • Additional Resources Look for the CCM. Hire A CCM.
