<br /> Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
<br /> OThe City of Mounds View has started down the road of creating a facility that all the citizens of
<br /> hounds View can be proud of. For the next several months you and your staff will be im-
<br /> mersed in the full spectrum of the construction-related environment which can be very confus-
<br /> ing to the uninitiated. You will be expected to understand Value Engineering, Contract Admin-
<br /> istration, Construction process, and Project Payments, Change Order Review, Analysis, and
<br /> Negotiations.
<br /> I am sending you this proposal offering to you and the City of Mounds View my expertise in the
<br /> Construction Administration of large construction projects. You currently have an Architectural
<br /> Firm hired whose job is to design a building that will fit your and the city's needs, as they
<br /> interpret them. Architectural firms design buildings utilizing products and methods that they
<br /> are used to, not because it's cost effective or is easy to maintain, but because it's what they
<br /> have done before. The Architectural firm will do project observations but they normally do not
<br /> have the expertise in construction. The Construction Management Company is hired but their
<br /> job is to get the project built, not to look out for your or the city's best interest. As an example,
<br /> look at the problems that have arisen from the remodeling of the existing building. Were they
<br /> looking out for the city, or for the subcontractors/contractors that they work with all the time?
<br /> Only by contracting with someone with the right construction background and with only the City
<br /> of Mounds View's interest at heart can you be assured that you are getting the best product for
<br /> the taxpayers' money.
