3 History of the Firm Landry/French Construction was formed by Denis Landry and Kevin French to combine more than 60 years of construction management and operations experience. Our office located in Scarborough, Maine employs well educated and highly skilled Project Managers, Estimators, Site Superintendents, LEED Accredited Professionals and MEP Coordinators. Landry/French Construction is well known in the Maine Construction industry for providing exceptional service. Landry/French currently has active projects in York, Portland, South Portland, Yarmouth, Scarborough, Topsham, Gorham, Biddeford and Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Many of these projects are with repeat clients. Strengths of our Firm Streamlined Pre-Construction Process: Landry/French s core strength is with the pre-construction process. We feel this is the most important phase of a project to essentially get the project down on paper first, explore different ideas and iron out the details before bid documents are prepared. We thoroughly enjoy the process and feel we bring tremendous value to the table. Approximately 70% of our annual work is in the form of a construction management agreement. Proven Track Record - Over the years we have repeatedly proven our ability to meet budget, schedule and quality requirements, while effectively planning and managing the work with minimal impact to on-going operations, and deliver projects on time. Many of our clients come back to us with repeat work or highly recommend us to a new client. Customer Service - For years our message has been clear to our employees and clients; to provide exceptional customer service and communications and to be committed 100% to our clients. We have always promoted a positive working relationship among our customers and design firms. We constantly make sure our clients know they are getting preferred treatment and that their project is important, no matter what the size. The size and type of project of this Library is a perfect match for Landry/French. The contributions our team will make in regard to Estimating, Value Engineering, Construction and Subcontractors are as follows: Estimating/Cost Control - The Landry/French estimating team gathers key information during initial project meetings to be used to develop the baseline budget estimate for the project. As the design continues, new estimates with increasing detail will be generated and distributed to all the team members. Particular attention will be paid to any variances from the original budget and schedule. All team members are involved throughout this process, so accurate construction cost estimates are aligned with the program funds available and each team member is equally informed as the project matures. Value Engineering - Landry/French estimating and project team members have the experience assisting clients with the task of maximizing program content within the project budget. Value engineering is not simply a buzz phrase for cost reduction, but is a defined method to address the question, "Is this the most cost effective program to meet the owner s needs, both short-term and long-term?" At the outset of conducting a value engineering analysis, Landry/French Construction will review and study the project documents to understand design intentions and the function of the completed project. As part of our preparation, we will ask any and all questions necessary to clarify that understanding. Landry/French Construction will then thoroughly analyze all systems and costs. Using historical information for comparison, we will quickly ascertain whether system costs are out of line with similar projects. Then, prior to making any recommendations, Landry/French will enlist the assistance of its subcontractors to provide Page 1

4 any additional suggestions or alternatives. At the end of the value engineering process we will evaluate, criticize and test all alternatives, and the team will determine which of these alternatives offer the greatest potential for cost savings. Finally, we will analyze the final cost of the selected alternatives and then present you with a list of alternatives in order of descending savings potential for a final acceptance. Analyzing Subcontractors - Landry/French will analyze potential subcontractors and vendors to ensure that their relevant experience, availability of labor and supervisory personnel, procurement control, adherence to schedule, safety, workmanship, quality control and financial strength is appropriate for the project. Present construction market conditions will be analyzed and subcontractors present workloads will be considered carefully to avoid a subcontractor being over used or extended beyond their financial capability. Similar Projects We have chosen to feature the following five (5) projects, either because of the similar building type, construction delivery method, or because it represents a community/public type of project/client. 1) Merrill Memorial Library Yarmouth, Maine Landry/French Construction is working closely with the Library Trustees along with the Architect on the preconstruction phase of this project. Libraries have changed dramatically since 1905 in both the services they provide and the level of technology needed to support them. This renovation will update the building to meet the needs of the next century. The renovation project will open the third floor for programming and public use. Book groups, poetry groups, art blabs and other program will be able to use the turn-of-the-century space for meetings and presentations. The renovation project will also refurbish the second and third floors, to bring them up to current standards for fire code, safety, and ADA. A covered entryway will offer a place to gather and a safe way to enter the building. Total Cost of Construction: $1.7M Year Completed: Preconstruction Underway Construction estimated to be complete in August 2014 Owner: Dale Akeley, Owner s Representative, Architect: Barba + Wheelock Architects, Nancy Barba, 500 Congress Street, Portland, ME L/F Staff: Kevin French Project Executive; Matthew Gagnon- Project Manager; Ian McCracken Estimator Contract Type: CM 2) Community Counseling Center Portland, Maine Landry/French completed an addition and renovation project for Community Counseling Center totaling more than 43,000 s.f., located at 165 Lancaster Street in Portland, Maine. This 1920 s building had many issues which needed to be addressed, including code compliance upgrades, water leaks, restoration of the exterior and repointing of the brickwork. Page 2

5 This project enabled the Center room to expand its mental health, education, and wellness programs that serve over 6,000 individuals and families a year. The new building provides a welcoming space while contributing to the revitalization of the Bayside neighborhood. The new space allows the organization to offer more services to the thousands of Greater Portland residents it serves each year, including group space for community organizations to meet in. Total Cost of Construction: $1,819,000 Year Completed: 2011 Owner: Boulos Property Management Paul Ureneck, One Canal Plaza, Portland, ME Architect: Morris Switzer (Interiors), Jon Boyd, 183 Middle Street, Portland, ME / TFH Architects (Exterior) Ryan Senatore, 80 Middle Street, Portland, ME L/F Staff: Kevin French Project Executive; Scott Cristina Project Manager; Jeff Barker Site Superintendent Contract Type: CM 3) Casco Bay Ferry Terminal Portland, Maine A landmark building that Landry/French is currently working on is the Casco Bay Ferry Terminal building renovations and addition. This is a significant landmark in the historic Old Port in downtown Portland. The terminal project includes expanding the waiting area by 4,500 square feet and moving it closer to gates 4 and 5, which are used more. The expanded terminal will allow people to see boats at gates 4 and 5 from inside the waiting area, alleviating congestion from people waiting outside. The terminal will also have newer restrooms closer to the ticket counter so employees can better monitor them. The first phase of the project, repairing and replacing pilings on a portion of the pier, should be done by early fall. That phase brings the total cost of improvements to about $3 million. Landry/French Management team has daily interface between Casco Bay Ferry operations, City of Portland, and MaineDOT. Total Cost of Construction: $2,997,000 Year Completed: May 2014 Owner: Casco Bay Island Transit District, Hank Berg, 56 Commercial Street, Portland, Maine Architect: Scott Simons Architects, Austin Smith, 75 York Street, Portland, Maine L/F Staff: Kevin French Project Executive; Matthew Gagnon Project Manager; Joe Bumps Site Superintendent Contract Type: Bid Page 3

7 Approach to Managing Project Landry/French Construction and its project management team are experienced in forming team relationships with our customers, design firms and subcontractors. This teaming approach facilitates a better understanding of the overall project, individual duties, team responsibilities, phasing, budget, and schedule constraints. Landry/French s business approach and one of our core values is to exceed the expectations of all the team members involved with the project. This begins by assigning a management team with strong relevant experience, proven management skills, and by developing an interactive, inclusive working relationship with Owner, Architect, and the Landry/French team including the subcontractors. With strong leadership that encourages a team attitude and open communications among all members of the team, the common goals and objectives for the entire team can be achieved. Open communications is a foundation of the Landry/French Construction culture. We feel it is very important to involve all stakeholders at the beginning of every project to get them involved in the process and make them feel a sense of ownership of the project. This process results in an atmosphere in which all team members identify challenges at the onset and work together to seek innovative approaches to dealing with challenges and improving processes. This approach leads to opportunities to improve milestone dates, reduce actual costs, eliminate accidents and deliver the highest quality consistent with the budget. In-Kind Donations We have worked on past projects at NHSPCA ($1.6) and YMCA ($8.5) where in kind donations were received and used as part of the project. It will be important for the construction manager to include the potential in-kind donation in each bid package going to subcontractors and vendors. Once the bids are received we will evaluate the proposal for potential in-kind donations. In the past we have seen subcontractors inflate their price to justify In-Kind donations. It will be important for the construction manager to have the tools in place to fairly evaluate the proposals and report back to the construction team the proper information.
