3 Monthly Progress Report for March 2011 Section 1: Executive Summary

4 Section 1: Executive Summary As the saying goes, April Showers Bring May Flowers, but to The Banks Project, April meant rain and rising Ohio River levels that challenged construction crews. Whether it was intermittent showers or thunderous cloudbursts, the downpours of the month did little to dampen the commitment nor stall the progress achieved by The Banks team. All the Public Parties Phase 1 work is completed (with Bid Package #10 signage remaining to be installed in the Phase 2a parking facility). Phase 2a construction work continued on schedule. Despite weather affecting certain work on Phase 2a work (Mehring Way relocation, Bid Package #9 and Block 2 Garage, Bid Package 11), contract completion is still expected to hit all target milestones for the parking counts required by the sports teams leases and the opening in October, weather permitting, of Freedom Way and the new garage segment west of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Both construction phases of Public Parties work are within approved budgets and on target to meet SBE, DBE and safety goals. Federal Highway Administration and Ohio Department of Transportation inspection and audit took place in April. Inspection and audit included all construction work in place as well as the Project files. There were no negative comments on the construction. There was one minor comment on the Construction Manager s change order records for one contract; correction will not change totals, just improve documentation. Bid Package #12 for Street Grid and Pedestrian Network Improvements will now be bid in two parts. A draft of the first Local Public Agency Agreement is expected soon. Turn to Appendix A: Project Scope Description for a complete listing of the locations of the work under both parts of the scope. This Monthly Report cover photo (top left) captures a close-up of the April 1 concrete pour of the last section of Freedom Way. The top right photo shows the pour nearly completed. The main photo is a view of Lot 2 Garage construction, which continued on schedule despite one of the wettest months on record. Developer April welcomed the first residents into Current@TheBanks, as tenants moved into the north building. Installation of landscaping in the amenity terrace continued, as did work to complete building skin and finishes. On Block 16, the south building, work on the building skin was substantially complete, with Brasfield & Gorrie installing exterior components and building finishes at all levels. Block 16 is on schedule Page 1

5 for May 15, 2011 completion. Construction on the Police Welcome Center continued, and plans for Toby Keith and Johnny Rockets have been submitted for permit review. Parks Progress continued on The Cincinnati Riverfront Park project. Workers from Monarch Construction continued to construct form work and steel installation for the Grand Stair, and framing for the Bicycle Center storefront and doors. Megen Construction began creating planters and the large Schmidlapp Event Lawn on the roof of the south end of the Phase 1 Garage by waterproofing the roof, setting large granite capstones and seat walls, and then filling the large recesses in the garage roof with sand, gravel and soil in preparation for the landscape planting and sod installation planned for May. The Moerlein Lager House contractor, Schumacher-Dugan Construction, completed elevator shaft construction, continued structural block work, began utility installation, and prepared to begin exterior shell construction in May. Safety A total of 1,670 trade workers have attended safety orientations. The Project logged 356,939 hours without a lost-time accident. Economic Inclusion As of March 25, 2011, Small Business Enterprise (SBE) construction participation is 36.1% (goal 30%). Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation totaled 16.1% and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) is 2.8%. Combined minority and female workforce participation was 17.95%. Of the production workers active on the Project, 77.4% resided in the Cincinnati- Middletown MSA. Budget Construction expenditure projections are within approved target budgets for both Phase 1 and for Phase 2a. Combined approved and potential change orders for both phases equal 5.28% of total approved contract amounts. Schedule Phase 2a construction remains on schedule. All parties continue to coordinate project construction schedule successfully. See Section 3: Development Manager s Review for the Master Project Schedule. See Section 6: Construction Manager s Report for the Phase 2a Schedule. Page 2

6 Section 2: Schedule

7 Section 2: Schedule In the month of April, Phase 2a infrastructure work by the Public Parties proceeded on schedule. Opening of Freedom Way (East to West) is scheduled for October, with the East portion planned official opening slated for June. Opening of the Lot 2 Garage is still projected for late fall, despite heavy rains during the month. See Section 6: Construction Manager s Report for details and a schedule. Work on the overbuild by the Private Developer continues on schedule, with a ribboncutting mid-month to welcome first residents to their apartment in Current@The Banks. Work continues on designs, permitting and construction for dining and entertainment tenants. See Section 3: Development Manager s Report and Master Project Schedule for details. Cincinnati Riverfront Park construction made noticeable progress and remained on schedule, as the Walnut Street Fountain and Grand Stair as well as the Event Lawn became recognizable to the casual passer-by. See Section 7: Cincinnati Riverfront Park Report. Page 1

8 Section 3: Development Manager s Review

9 Section 3: Development Manager s Review Master Schedule: Included at the end of this Section. Progress Update on Public Parties work Phase 1 All Phase 1 work has been completed with the exception of the Bid Package #10 signage being installed in the Phase 2 parking facility. A final certificate of occupancy will replace the current temporary certificate of occpancy once the elevator installation at the Freedom Way East head house is completed. Messer is working with the trade contractor to schedule final inspections for the elevator and it is hoped that a final certificate of occupancy document will be in hand before the end of May. As documented in last month s report, the team is working toward resolution on several deficient work items. An agreement on the approach to rework the expansion joint blockout conditions has been reached with the Private Developer. Freedom Way West has recently exhibited more issues with silica fume pop-outs. The City is reviewing this issue with Baker and the concrete supplier to determine the appropriate next steps. Phase 2 The Phase 2 work of the Parking Facility continues to progress according to the schedule. Prus has completed the Mehring Way realignment and pedestrian accessibility for Lots D and F. They also completed the street paving scope for the Joe Nuxhall Way. With these efforts finalized, Prus work is now confined to the removal of Theodore M. Berry Way. Since the closure of Theodore M. Berry Way in January, Prus has removed the existing utilities and pavement at the roadway and has installed the piles to support the soil tieback wall where the existing roadway intersects Rosa Parks Street. Excavation activities have been underway for approximately two months. Prus began hauling material off-site in mid-march. The majority of the haul-off will be taken to the Parks site. Record-breaking rain in April has limited this work over the past month; however, the team is looking toward a drier month of May to increase the Page 1

10 progress of removal. In the interim, Messer worked with Prus to determine alternate access options, allowing for the excavation and haul-off to be expedited once production resumes. Originally the haul-off was anticipated to run through the end of May; the team is now targeting haul-off completion in June. The team was able to resolve the soil tieback wall issue at Theodore M. Berry Way and Rosa Parks Street associated with the tieback sizes. However, as work has started, the quality of the soil and existing obstructions have raised constructability issues as well as a new potential cost exposure. The design team is working to finalize direction on the modifications to the work. The trade contractor has submitted a claim in the last several days, and the team is working to determine validity of the request. Although Baker s work has slowed somewhat with the recent weather conditions, progress is still being made. Pile cap work is nearing completion, as are the first column lift pours. This in turn will allow the slab on grade work to be completed. Several elevated pours were made at the 500 level during the month, as were the podium pours along Second Street. The electrical and plumbing rough-ins are closely following the structure work on the facility, and the fire protection contractor mobilized in recent weeks. The mason will be beginning on site within the next two weeks. Waterproofing work on Freedom Way West will begin as the weather permits. Baker completed all of the work the Second Street sidewalk replacement west of Rosa Parks Street. They also completed the curb cut at the deck entrance on Block 26, as well as repairs to the sidewalk at the northeast corner of the block to accommodate an existing condition grade differential. All of this work proceeded with few to no issues. The Freedom Way head houses are substantially complete. Baker is working to finish all miscellaneous caulking and punchlist work. Installation of the elevator is nearly complete, with final adjustment work ongoing. The team anticipates being able to receive a final inspection on the elevator soon which in turn allows the head house to be fully operational. The stair head house has been open to the public for approximately three weeks. Safety continues to be a tremendous success. The Project continues to accrue manhours worked without a lost time accident beyond the 350,000-hour threshold. This continues to speak to the Project team s focus on safety. Weekly site inspections continue to be favorable, with only minor items being cited. The team continues to work with the City and County to ensure that the environment is safe for patrons and general public. Traffic circulation at the project site Page 2

11 now circumvents the closed portion of Theodore M. Berry Way, with direction being provided through site signage, including a variable message board. Second Street sidewalks have now been opened back up, with the completion of both Baker s and the Private Developer s work in this area. The sidewalks at Walnut Street and Joe Nuxhall Way that were previously closed are now opened back up to the public, as is the north sidewalk on Freedom Way East. The balance of Freedom Way East is targeted to open on June 1, Quality is also a ongoing focus of the team. Through the services of four independent testing firms and various City and County inspections, review of ongoing and completed work is evaluated. As deficient items are raised, they are tracked on a deficiency log. A request for information (RFI) is issued to the design team for their input on the deficiency. All parties are working to ensure that each field issue is properly addressed and closed out. The most recent log reflects that all deficient items have been closed out, and no new deficient items have been cited in over five months. The design team is sufficiently supporting the trade contractor s efforts. As submittal and request for information (RFI) documents are issued, they are being addressed. To date, the design team has been responsive and their turnaround times have supported the work flow of the project. Budget Review The were no changes made during the month to the budget projection for Phase 1. On Phase 2, there was a minor increase in the hard costs projection. Previously this projection was showing an amount of $29.830M for Bid Packages #9 and #11. Currently these packages combined total $29.893M. The change is a result of several additive and deductive change orders. This projected amount is approximately $10.3M below the Construction Manager Published Estimate of $40.3M. Bid Package #9 was awarded at an amount of $7.1M. Change orders totaling $133,693 have been executed. This change order total is approximately $91,000 higher than what was reported last month, due to a handful of miscellaneous small changes. An allowance of $800,000 was included within the contract. Approximately $190,000 of this allowance remains, the majority of which is the specific allowance for historical archeological excavation. The original contract amount for Bid Package #11 is $22.3M. Two change orders have been executed to date totalling $337,136. The change order amount decrease in this past month was due to a credit related to the reconciliation of Allowance #3 within Baker s contract. A contract allowance of Page 3

12 $975,000 was included in the contract. Approximately $250,000 of this allowance is projected as remaining at this point in the Project. The County and City are working to finalize the soft costs budget. In the past month, a draft of the overall budget was prepared and is being reviewed and approved by the Project Team. Currently, the soft costs are tracking within budget. Inclusion Review See Section 5: Economic Inclusion report. Parks and Overbuild Update Parks See Section 7: Cincinnati Riverfront Park report. Developer The first residents moved into The Banks during the past month! A temporary certificate of occupancy was received on April 13, Punchlist activities are underway on all floors of the building, as well as at the building exterior. Installation of landscaping at the amenity terrace is underway, with weather being the primary hurdle to final completion. Final installation of exterior applied components such as metal panels and handrails is wrapping up. On Block 16, work on the building skin and envelope is substantially complete. Brasfield & Gorrie is working to install the applied exterior building components such as railings, metal panels, and zinc shingles. Installation of the building finishes is ongoing at all levels of the building. Punchlist work has begun on the second floor, and will proceed up the building in the coming weeks. Amenity terrace work is underway and will follow completion of the terrace at Block 26. Block 16 is tracking on schedule for a May 15, 2011 completion. Construction on the Police Welcome Center continued throughout the month. Plans for Toby Keith and Johnny Rockets have been circulated to the Private Developer for review and comment, and have also been submitted to the City for permit review. Construction will begin upon receipt of permits. The Doyle Group is working to finalize their plans in the coming weeks for landlord review, and then submit for permit.

16 Section 4: Budget

17 Section 4: Budget Phase 1 construction budget expended as of April 30, 2011 was 95.64%. A total of 41.42% of the Phase 2a construction budget was expended as of the end of April. Phase 2a construction expenditures and projections remain within the approved budget. Construction budget detail appears on the following pages. Representatives of the City, County, OKI and ODOT continued discussions in April to finalize the scope, budget and schedule for Bid Package #12. Construction activities to complete street grid and pedestrian improvements in this Bid Package will be divided into two parts. Draft of the Local Public Agency Agreement is in development. Page 1

20 Section 5: Economic Inclusion

21 Section 5: Economic Inclusion As we near the end of the initial phase of The Banks Project, Ellington Management Services, Inc., (EMS) is assessing the outcome of the inclusion commitments made by prime contractors since project inception. Seventeen of the 18 prime contracts subject to the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program are closed, and most of the contractors meet or exceeded their inclusion commitments. We are continuing to monitor the one open contract; the work of its SBE subcontractors is yet to be completed. To date, the overall project outcomes exceed the Public Partnership s SBE contractor inclusion goal by 6.1% at 36.1% compared to the 30% goal. As of March 25, 2011 SBE participation is 36.1%, Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation is 16.1% and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation remains at 2.8% (see Appendix D, Attachment A). There are five bid packages supported by state and/or federal funding and are subject to the goals for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation established by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). Three of these contracts are closed out and are highlighted in the table below. Bid Package No. ODOT DBE Goal Contractor Commitment Actual DBE Participation DBE Dollars 5 8.0% 10.8% 12.0% $746, % 10.7% 11.7% $676, % 5.0% 5.5% $615,285 The DBE goal for Bid Package #9 is 4%. The commitment is 4.9%. The actual DBE participation is 2.8%, and 2.5% actual WBE participation. The goal for Bid Package #11 is 8%. The commitment is 8.2%. Actual participation to date is 6.5% (see Appendix D, Attachment B). The goal is 10% SBE participation for professional services. The current level of participation is 8.9%. Results are moving closer to the goal, but remain 1.1% below the goal. The total dollar value of these contracts has increased with no corresponding increase to sub-consultants. The MBE participation is 7.6% and WBE participation is 2.0% (see Appendix D, Attachment C). The Public Partnership set a combined minority and women workforce participation goal of 22%, which is measured in work hours. Minority workforce participation is 16.46%, which includes minority female hours. The total female participation is 2.26% for a combined participation of 17.95% (minority females are not counted Page 1

22 twice) as reported by hours for September 1, 2008 March 25, 2011 (see Appendix D, Attachment D). From February 26, 2011 to March 25, 2011, employees on The Banks Project living within the 15-County Cincinnati-Middletown Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) represented 83.5% of the workforce (see Appendix D, Attachment E). Workforce inclusion reporting forms and certified payroll records were used to analyze the residency composition of The Banks Project workforce from December 2008 through July 25, The most recent data covering July 26, 2010 through January 25, 2011, includes a review of the inclusion reporting forms but does not include a review of certified payroll records. Only information for production workers active on site during the covered period was analyzed. Analysis of data for 1,241 workers active on the Project during the covered period revealed the following: Geographic Area Residency Percentage Tri-State 97.7% Cincinnati-Middletown 77.4% MSA Hamilton County 25.9% City of Cincinnati 9.12% There were no local residency participation goals established for this Project.

24 Section 6: Construction Manager s Report A newly poured slab on grade in the Lot 2 Garage (looking north). Progress Update The term "April Showers" took on a whole new meaning this month as crews battled record rainfall to keep the Project moving forward. Contrary to what you may recall, there were a handful of days where it didn't rain and crews took full advantage by often pouring multiple concrete slabs in a single day. Although the rain certainly hindered progress in regard to hauling the Theodore M. Berry Way dirt, crews did begin installing the tiebacks that will support the new retaining wall at the intersection of Theodore M. Berry Way and Rosa Parks Street. Page 1

29 Community Environment Impact and Project Safety Bid Package #9 and Bid Package #11 Trade Contractors have continued to make public safety a priority. They have been mindful of the public within the Lots B and C, on Second Street, at Theodore M. Berry Way and along Joe Nuxhall Way and have utilized construction fencing to isolate their activities. Pro-active communication with the City and County has also kept the public informed of the ongoing Riverfront changes associated with the construction work. Between Phases 1 and 2, a total of 1,670 trade workers have attended the site safety orientation. The Project currently stands at 356,939 hours without a lost time accident. Formal site safety walk-thrus are conducted three times a week. Workers continue to maintain a very good attitude about working safely. In fact, the score for the site walk-thru has been a 100% multiple times in April meaning not one hazard was observed. The scorecard below categorizes observations from our safety walk-thrus by hazard, severity and resolution rate for the past 30 days. Page 6

30 The impact to Riverfront Operations around the Phase 2 work has been as follows: Traffic Race Street between Second Street and Theodore M. Berry Way will remain closed until the fourth quarter of Theodore M. Berry Way is now permanently closed between Elm Street and Rosa Parks Street and remains closed at the dogleg at Walnut Street. Operation of Adjacent Facilities No impact to GABP, the Reds HOF, PBS, the Arena or the Transit Center. Pedestrian Routes Theodore M. Berry Way is now permanently closed between Elm Street and Rosa Parks Street and continues to be closed at the dogleg at Walnut Street. The West Pete Rose Way entrance to the Central Riverfront Garage remains closed for Bid Package #11 work. Pedestrians within the Garage are being routed up to street level from the Central Riverfront Garage. The sidewalk replacement at Second Street was completed in March. Parking The West Pete Rose Way entrance to the Lot 3 Garage remains closed for Bid Package #11 work. This will require Lot 3 Garage patrons to utilize the new entrances to the Garage on Mehring Way and Main Street. Signage and Fencing Site fencing and gates are checked on a daily basis to insure they are secure. Construction Schedule The schedule included in this month's report includes activities associated with the two active Phase 2 contracts: Bid Packages #9 and #11. Bid Package #9 The Bid Package #9 trade contractor has completed the work associated with Mehring Way, the reconfiguration of Lots D and F, and Joe Nuxhall Way and is 90% complete with the pavement and sidewalk rework on Theodore M.
