DMJM+HARRIS is developing detailed Hazmat monitoring
and schedules to ensure an on-time, cost-effective,
quality performance. This planning and scheduling function
is critical to ensuring efficient use of manpower and
correct time-phasing of many task order efforts. The
tremendous scope of the TSSC contract requires that
drawings and schedules account for locations as diverse
as Alaska and Florida.
Most task orders require preparation of a contractor’s
site engineering report (CSER) that addresses the activities
to be performed and the special requirements applicable
to each job and location. Competition for the construction-related
activities identified in the CSER is held at the local
level. Once a contractor is selected, the company’s
progress is monitored for adherence to cost and schedule.
Many task orders specify turnkey responsibility for
site work and installed equipment. For these orders,
successful completion of a Joint Acceptance Inspection
(JAI) is required to demonstrate satisfactory completion.
The JAI demonstrates to the client (FAA) that all services
and task order requirements comply with the approved
work package or inspection plan. This inspection includes
such items as workmanship, safety, and system operation.
The challenge of this project lies in its diverse requirements:
equipment and installation specifications, terrain and
climactic differences, interaction with FAA at many
levels, implementation with no or minimal interruption
to operating services, and varying project size. At
its peak the project has involved 430 personnel assigned
to project offices, project sites, and DMJM+HARRIS’s
offices.
