2.8 CONSTRUCTION PHASE - ADMINISTRATION OF THE
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR
2.8.1. The Architect's responsibility to provide Basic Services for the
Construction Phase under this Agreement commences with the award of the
Contract for construction and terminates with the issuance to the Owner of the
final Project Certificate for Payment including the submission of all project close
10
out documents by the Architect and Contractor. The Architect will administer the
Owner/Contractor contract as provided for in that document. The Architect
agrees to perform a project check prior to the end of the warranty period as a
part of the contract. The check shall not exceed one working day unless
additional time is approved by the Owner.
2.8.2 The Architect shall at all times have access to the Work whenever it is in
preparation or progress.

Contract, but not otherwise, act on behalf, and be the agent, of the Owner
throughout construction of the Project. Instructions, directions, and other
appropriate communications from the Owner to the Contractor shall be given to
the Contractor by the Architect or Construction Manager.
2.8.4 Upon receipt, the Architect shall carefully review and examine the
Contractor's Schedule of Values, together with any supporting documentation or
data which the Owner or the Architect may require from the Contractor. The
purpose of such review and examination shall be to protect the Owner from an
unbalanced Schedule of Values which allocates greater value to certain elements
of the Work than is indicated by such supporting documentation or data, or than
is reasonable under the circumstances. If the Schedule of Values was not found
to be appropriate, or if the supporting documentation or data is deemed to be
inadequate, and unless the Owner directs the Architect to the contrary in writing,
the Schedule of Values shall be returned to the Contractor for revision or
supporting documentation or data. After making such examination, if the
Schedule of Values is found to be appropriate as submitted, or if necessary, as
revised, the Architect shall sign the Schedule of Values thereby indicating its
informed belief that the Schedule of Values constitutes a reasonable, balanced
basis for payment of the Contract Price to the Contractor. The Architect shall not
approve such Schedule of Values in the absence of such belief unless directed to
do so, in writing, by the Owner.
2.8.5 The Architect shall carefully inspect the work of the Contractor and shall,
at a minimum, inspect work at the Project site once every week. The purpose of
such inspections shall be to determine the quality and quantity of the work in
comparison with the requirements of the Construction Contract. In making such
inspections, the Architect shall protect the Owner from continuing deficient or
defective work, from continuing unexcused delays in the schedule and from
overpayment to the Contractor. Following each inspection, the Architect shall
submit a written report of such inspection, together with any appropriate
comments or recommendations to the Owner.
2.8.6 The Architect shall initially approve periodic and final payments owed to
the Contractor under the Construction Contract predicated upon inspections of
the work and evaluations of the Contractor's rate of progress in light of the
11
remaining contract time and shall issue to the Owner Approvals of Payment in
such amounts. By issuing an Approval of Payment to the Owner, the Architect
reliably informs the Owner that the Architect has made the inspection of the work
required, and that the work for which payment is approved has reached the
quantities or percentages of completion shown, or both, that the quality of the
Contractor's work meets or exceeds the requirements of the Construction
Contract, and that under the terms and conditions of the Construction Contract,
the Owner is obligated to make payment to the Contractor of the amount
approved.
2.8.7 The issuance of a Certificate for Payment shall not be a representation
that the Architect has (1) made exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections to
check the quality or quantity of the Work. (2) reviewed construction means,
methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. (3) reviewed copies of
requisitions received from Subcontractors and material suppliers and other data
requested by the Owner to substantiate the Contractor's right to payment or (4)
ascertained how or for what purpose the Contractor has used money previously
paid on account of the Contract Sum.
2.8.8 The Architect shall have authority, after notification to the Construction
Manager, to reject Work which does not conform to the Contract Documents.
Whenever the Architect considers it necessary or advisable for implementation of
the intent of the Contract Documents the Architect will have authority, upon
written authorization from the Owner, to require additional inspection or testing of
the Work in accordance with the provisions of the Contract Documents, whether
or not such Work is fabricated, installed or completed.
2.8.9 The Architect shall review and approve or take other appropriate action
upon Contractor's submittals such as Shop Drawings, Product Data and
Samples, but only for the limited purpose of checking for conformance with
information given and the design concept expressed in the Contract Documents.
The Architect's action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness as to
cause no delay in the Contractor's Work or in construction by the Owner's own
forces, while allowing sufficient time in the Architect's professional judgment to
permit adequate review. Review of such submittals is not conducted for the
purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as
dimensions and quantities or for substantiating instructions for installation or
performance of equipment or systems designed by the Contractors, all of which
remain the responsibility of the Contractors to the extent required by the Contract
Documents. The Architect's review shall not constitute approval of safety
precautions or, unless otherwise specifically stated by the Architect, of
construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures. The
Architect's approval of a specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly
of which the item is a component. When professional certification of
performance characteristic of materials, systems or equipment is required by the
Contract Documents, the Architect shall be entitled to rely upon such certification
12
to establish that the materials, systems or equipment will meet the performance
criteria required by the Contract Documents. Architect shall take appropriate
action on submittals within 14 calendar days. The Architect shall maintain a
tracking log for the submittals which shall include} but not be limited, to; the
submittal as named in the specification, all dates as required for tracking and the
status of approval. A copy of the tracking log will be made available to Owner
when requested.

PROJECT APPROACH
Bender & Associates Architects is a Key West-based Architectural firm with a strong
background in preservation and restoration projects. Our approach to this project will be
similar to that employed on comparable projects, but will be''fine tuned" to reflect the special
needs of Monroe County,
Bert Bender has been practicing in Key West since 1985. During the past fifteen years we
have become familiar with the requirements of the State of Florida and Monroe County for all
types of projects, from commercial through residential and from new construction through
rnetiaJlous historic restoration projects. The team has a strong working knowledge of the local
construction industry and construction costs in Monroe County, as well as an established
working relationship with local contractors, Monroe County, and State agencies.
The nature of this project suggests that the selected firm should have a strong background in
renovation with experience in adaptive re-use and Government facilities.
Our submittal will dearty demonstrate that our team of.expert professionals has the talent and
experience required to:
1. Develop the space program for adaptive re-use of the Mariner's Hospital;
2. Design site elements which will be compatible with the building and environment, and
plan interior spaces for its Mure use and compliance with aJrrent codes and Americans
With Disabilities Act;
3, Produce comprehensive construction documents.
As a comprehensive design firm, the architectural and engineering team has the ability and
experience to provide our clients with the following seNices:
Programming Signage and Graphics
Master Planning Site Selection
Architectural Design . Value Engineering
Energy Conservation Cost Control
Interior Design Construction Administration
Historic Preservation, Research and Restoration
We can provide every service necessary for the successful implementation of a facility. Our
approach to Architecture is total. We either provide the service directly or can manage the
efforts of other professionals, taking responsibility for the total project.
Our group utilizes a team approach to achieve optimum solutions. This team approach brings
together the dient, architect, consultants, user, and others, according to the needs of the
projects, in an intense work session to focus on identifying the individual problems and
\1
requirements that are unique to the project. This communications process is designed to illicit
important data known only by each team member regarding goals, facts and needs of the
project. This information is then focused into a concentrated problem solving session to better
meet the needs of the project Once the project goals are identified, alternatives are explored
and solutions identified in order to make recommendations for the feasibility of the proposed
project.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Bert Bender will serve as the Principal in Charge of all aspects of the project. Mark Keister will
be the Principal in Charge of structural engineering. Carlos Garcia of HNGS will manage all
aspects of mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineering. Bill Rowan of Bender &
Associates will serve as the Project Architect, co-ordinating day to day activities. All of our
Client contact needs will be co-ordinated through the Monroe County Construction Manger.
Group meetings will be planned to accommodate the Client's schedule.
Phase I: Programming and Preliminary Analysis
A Program: Meetings with the Owner will be conducted to establish and confirm the
physical requirements of the project and requirements for individual sites.
The first stage of the total design process is programming (analysis). Programming is
problem seeking and design is problem solving. The programming session begins with
an orientation meeting attended by all participants. Interview are then conducted
between the Architect and ClientlUser Groups so that sufficient information can be
obtained to understand and define problems and goals. This information is
documented, evaluated, adapted and refined until we have distinguished between
wants and needs and determined the feasibility of the project budget. Good
programming is essential for the next phase - good design.
B. Schematic Design: Based on the program requirements established with the Owner,
the physical analysis documentation and the requirements of any structural review of
existing facilities, schematic designs will be prepared. During this task we will prepare
preliminary plans and specifications for review by the Owners. We integrate design
with engineering and interiors with exteriors because we know the best architecture is
that which makes a total statement. Near the end of this design phase the architectural
team presents a schematic design solution, along with material illustrating the rationale
for the design. Cost estimates, feasibility studies, project phasing and time schedules
are outlined, as needed, for client consideration and approval.
Phase II: Construction DocumentslSpecHications
A Design Development: Following approval of schematic design, development includes
\1
determination, design and coordination of architectural, structural, mechanical and
electrical systems, equipment layouts and all related site development. This phase
results in drawings and documentation, plus additional materials as necessary to
illustrate "final" development and insure that all significant design questions and/or
problems have been solved,
This is the heart of the architectural process and the point at which the actual form and
character of the project is establistJed. Collaboration with client and consultant is
imperative during this phase.
B. Construction Documents: Working drawings and specifications will be prepared and
sufficiently detailed in order to insure the desired result with minimum possibilities of
cost over runs.
This phase transforms the preceding approved "Design Development Package" into a
set of detailed, legal, bidding documents which relate to the construction industry.
These documents control and direct the construction process via construction drawings
and detail materials! building systems specifications.
Phase III: Bidding Phase
The bidding phase will be conducted in the same manner as similar projects. We will conduct
pre-bid conferences, bid reviews, and pre-construction meetings. A minimum of three low
bidders will be evaluated to detennine the lowest and best bid. In addition to price,
consideration will be given to the bidder's past performance and experience with projects of
comparable scope and type.
Phase IV: Contract Administration
During cOnstruction we will schedule weekly meetings with the Contractor to establish
projected work for the upcoming week. This will maintain communication with the Contractor
and guarantee that construction is properly planned. We will make all necessary on-site
inspections, check and certify payment requests for work and assist in final inspections and
certification of completion. Our proven tract record on projects of this type will prove extremely
beneficial in providing quality projects. During construction our concern for quality work will
allow for a high level of quality control.
While the majority of construction administration work will be conducted from the Key West
office of Bender & Associates Architects, all consultants will be available as needed, including
staff from the office of each consultant.
Client Needs
\1
Our past experience with similar projects is valuable, but our past experience within Monroe
County and our proven ability to meet our ctients needs will best serve the needs of the project.
Throughout the course of work at the Marathon Substation, we were available on a daily basis
to resolve construction problems and disputes. Although the construction administration of that
project was far more extensive than anyone could have anticipated, our commitment to client
and project was proven to be total. Above all else, we are committed to our clients - those
people who have entrusted us with the design of their project.
