Proposal for
Project Management Services for the
Installation of a Ground Water Pumping Well
Project Management Services
After identifying with the help of the City, exactly who the stakeholders are, the first order of
business will be to meet with the major stakeholders to clearly understand:
• The full scope and expectations of the project
• The limitations of the project
• The absolute minimum expectations
• The "nice to haves" (For example to ability for the discharge pipe to accommodate laterals
from a series of wells)
• Understand all the constraints
• The existing available information (as-built plans etc)
• Exactly who are the stakeholders and decision makers?
Sunbeam believes that there are a few key issues that will define the whole project and will
concentrate on addressing those issues and finding appropriate solutions, before spending
any time on the less defining issues.
The most important issues that will be addressed include:
• The ideal well location
• The means, methods and routes to deal with the discharge water
• The means to accommodate land movement
• The availability of power for the pump
• Accessibility for installation and maintenance
• The legal right to establish the well at the proposed location
Sunbeam will consult with stakeholder and SC Edison and conduct a field walk, with
interested parties to fully understand the field conditions and constraints.
Sunbeam will mark up maps and evaluate well designs, the pump specifications and
materials and designs for the discharge pipeline and produce bid documents. Prospective
bidders will then be solicited and a pre-bid site visit will be conducted. Sunbeam will assist
with the bid process and award of a contract to a contractor, followed by the management
of the construction process through to the testing and implementation of the well.

CONSUL TING
Team Approach
Sunbeam views virtually all projects as a team effort, where it is in the best interest for all
parties to work together to achieve common goals. This is vital for a successful design-build
project, where fairness is the rule as opposed to taking adversarial positions, which do not
generally work. Sunbeam will constantly strive to maintain good working relationships with
all parties, while maintaining a firm but fair control of the project.
Proactive
Sunbeam's proactive approach serves to anticipate and expeditiously resolve problems.
Our team is well trained in problem solving. All issues are processed with a sense of
urgency and presented to the City with suggested solutions and alternatives, which include
cost and schedule impacts and a recommendation. Sunbeam will act quickly to see that
the changed condition is implemented and that any impact to the project is minimized. By
constantly looking at the big-picture, our objective is to foresee issues and address them
long before they become problems.
Fee
The fee will be charged out at the rate of $145/hour for the Project Manager and
recommends that the City provide a "Not to Exceed" budget of$20,000 for the services.
