Functioning as a team within our organization, with our subcontractors, and most importantly with our clients, promotes effective communication, resulting in the delivery of a project that is individually tailored and cost-efficient At CES we value honesty and commitment, and these values drive us to provide every client with a quality service that meets, and often exceeds their expectations This belief is just one of the reasons clients routinely return to CES
COMMUNICATIONS
Our overall approach to a project can be summarized in one word - collaboration We value the institutional knowledge that our clients possess, and we routinely look to build on their local experiences We see our role, besides providing technical expertise, as helping our client coordinate efforts to achieve future growth and development goals Effective coordination, good
Trang 7Town of Kennebunk Facilities Assessment & Masterplan | 10.07.2020 | 11937.002 | Page 3
project planning and consistent communication are instrumental in our overall relationship and for our approach to specific projects
CES has incorporated state of the art, user friendly communication technology that helps to ease the current challenge of in-person meetings While we love to visit with our clients, all project professionals have the ability to coordinate virtual meetings with clients, stakeholders, and other collaborators Information sharing is a key component of the flow of a project, and we make our best effort to create clear communication regardless of situational challenges
Change is the only constant with any project Our staff members are adept at identifying the changes that occur throughout the progress of the design and construction and effectively communicate the resulting impact with our clients Since change can impact schedule and budget, timely and effective communication with all involved parties is necessary Our goal is to minimize the unknowns for the bidders in order to decrease and hopefully eliminate change orders
We will provide architectural and engineering expertise for the project and will also help coordinate with all parties involved to provide a systematic design for the project This coordination and project planning will minimize inconveniences to any public access spaces, or people working in close proximity to the project area This collaborative approach will also ensure the desired work
is completed within the desired timetable Our focus on communication gives us the ability to successfully guide the bid, construction administration and oversight processes
QUALITY CONTROL
The CES team offers a full complement of professional services that can address your project needs including expertise in Civil, Structural, Mechanical, and Environmental Engineering, Architecture, Survey, Planning, and Sciences CES is committed to being recognized in Maine
as a leading consulting firm providing engineering, surveying, sciences, planning, and other related services A large part of being recognized as a leading firm is achieving quality results and providing a quality deliverable Given this, we created a Quality Assurance/Quality Control Policy that must be followed for all project deliverables
This policy is referred to by CES staff during the preparation of project deliverables and when initiating document review Documents prepared must be based on accurate technical information, easy to read, well written, and well organized Documents that are clear, concise, easily understood, and without errors are essential
Utilizing the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Policy allows our firm to meet these requirements QA is the process that ensures prudent quality control measures have been established and the desired quality in a deliverable or service is achieved QC refers to the procedures, methods, and actions that are routinely employed to produce conformance with requirements and expectations
Trang 8Town of Kennebunk Facilities Assessment & Masterplan | 10.07.2020 | 11937.002 | Page 4
CES’ policy ensures that:
◆ Quality work is consistently performed and that quality deliverables are consistently produced
◆ Project documents are prepared in accordance with current regulations, policies, procedures, guidelines, and standards established at CES
◆ Project documents have undergone the necessary technical and editorial review processes Completing/performing quality work is the responsibility of every individual at CES
By incorporating this QA/QC process and policy into our daily work practices, CES staff will identify errors, omissions or potential conflicts, ask questions, or raise issues pertaining to items
of design features that present problems

SECTION B | BUDGETARY MANAGEMENT
From a budget perspective, we view a client’s money as if it were our own, which means we take
a fiscally conservative approach We begin our discussion with a client to gain an understanding
of their project’s budget Once the budget is known, we can design the project to fall within the estimated costs We typically provide cost estimates twice during design, once with the preliminary design submission and once with the final design submission We carry contingencies
in our pricing, typically based on a percentage of the total cost, which changes as more information is developed The contingency provided during conceptual design is more than that presented with the final design because less information is known at that point We feel strongly that our clients should budget for unknowns through a contingency We have found that being able to provide our client with realistic budgeting allows successful project implementation
The following table lists recent projects and associated costs, and illustrates our proven success with budgetary management for our clients

District Court House Building Evaluation
Lincoln, Maine
Contact: Mr Richard Bronson, Town Manager
(207)794-3372, town.manager@lincolnmaine.org
The Town of Lincoln currently leases their office space
from a local masonic lodge The Masonic Hall provides for
limited growth and expansion of Town services
Furthermore, the building has experienced indoor air quality problems that has the Town concerned for its employees With a vision to the future, the Town is exploring options for relocation of Town Office operations to another building that would meet the space requirements for years to come, and at the same time be a building the Town could purchase The building the Town has considered is a privately owned building that currently houses the Maine District Court
on Main Street in Lincoln In order for the Town and voters to make an informed decision, the building and its systems required a full evaluation CES Inc and Carter Architectural Design were retained by the Town to complete a full review of the property The report included a review of the structural components, mechanical and electrical systems, space programing needs, ADA and Life Safety review, exterior envelope, and surrounding site This information was compiled in a final document to the Town along with a calculation of the probable cost to renovate the building The project was completed in August of 2015

Brunswick Naval Air Station Facilities Review and Master Plan
Brunswick, Maine
This project for the redevelopment of the Brunswick Naval Air Station proceeded in a number of different phases The first step was to conduct on-site walk throughs of every building existing on the BNAS site Review staff visited each building, observed the condition and status of building structures, envelopes, MEP systems, interior finishes and existing plan layouts, then developed
a report format to share the conditions of the buildings with administrators and potential tenants The information was also used to develop a master plan for the base, identifying structures that could be reused and what that potential reuse was, developing potential streetscapes, signage and districts, and then packaging that information into a master planning booklet that could be shared with interested shareholders The design team then presented the ideas in the booklet to the community in a number of public meetings

ADP Building Assessment & Renovations
Presque Isle, Maine
Contact: George Psilakis, ADP, Inc., 781-622-3310
CES was retained by Automatic Data
Processing, Inc (ADP) to provide an
assessment of the existing heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
components in a building that the company
was intending to rent from Maine Public
Services Company The original use of the
building was an office area, with a break
room, bathrooms, and a garage The
garage was to be maintained by the owner
of the building, but the rest of the building
was to be utilized as a payroll processing facility
