Steven Van Voorhuis
SUBMITTED TO: Mayor and Common Council
DATE: January 19, 2021
SUBMITTED BY: Aaron S. Reeves, City Administrator
REGARDING: Public Works Director Pay Grade Change
BACKGROUND:
To remain market competitive with our pay plan it is important to review employee
compensation on a regular basis. The recent hiring of our City Engineer and a hiring of a Public
Works Director in a nearby City has shown that the Public Works Director position should be
moved from its current pay grade to the same grade as the Finance Director. This move would
result in a $6,474 pay increase and move the current position from the 2-year step in the current
pay grade to the Start step in the new grade. There is money in the 2021 budget for this change.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the moving of the Public Works Director position to the same pay grade as the Finance
Director position at the Start step.
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
DATE: January 19, 2021
SUBMITTED BY: Aaron S. Reeves, City Administrator
REGARDING: City Hall Improvements and Construction Manager Approval
BACKGROUND:
Staff included $500,000 in the 2021-22 CIP for repairs to City Hall (and some work at the
PD/Library). A list of the work needed is attached. Because of the wide variety of work needed
it does not make sense to try and bid this as one project. Staff put out an RFP for Construction
Management services and received a large number of responses. After review of the proposals
staff recommends the approval of Market & Johnson as Construction Manager for a fee of 4.7%
of the total project cost of $500,000 or $23,500. If approved they will begin preparing bid
documents as soon as possible for work to begin this summer.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Review the proposed work to be done at City Hall and approve Market & Johnson as
Construction Managers for the project.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING [BIM]
Our firm has been utilizing 3–dimensional
estimating and take–off software for
several years. This additional depth of 3–
dimensional viewing is especially effective
with our masonry professionals. This
estimating tool allows for instant access to
block types, how changes impact design, as
well as a excellent visualization tool.
Our team is willing to provide this 3–
dimensional tool at no additional fee. We
have used BIM on several projects and
have found it to be a useful tool during
the planning and design as well as during
construction.
We lead the coordination efforts with our
architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing
and fire protection partners in an effort to
enhance the design and minimize changes.
3C. PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Over 90% of our workload is comprised of projects where the owner
incorporates our services very early in the process. That’s because the
most impact that we can have on a project in terms of cost and schedule
occurs during the design phase. Our hybrid Integrated Project Delivery
Model, called the Market Method, is our platform for providing high
quality, consistent, and impactful project services.
One of the keys to our preconstruction services focuses around
two concepts. The first is aligning of strengths and the second is
communication. We feel every team member brings knowledge and
expertise to the project and those skills should be capitalized on during
the process.
Our role is to not only be your construction expert during this time
but also to facilitate everyone’s skills and to balance that within your
project. In doing that, communication becomes a key component. As
your construction manager, we will not only bring the construction skills
to impact your project, but we will listen to other team members, balance
their ideas and concepts, and proactively solicit ideas. We will manage
the entire project while keeping the budget, schedule, and quality as
the overarching goals. One of the most important areas our team is
challenged with is balancing the wants and needs of the client.
Market & Johnson's key skills during the preconstruction phase:
• Continual Project Budgeting
• Systems Review–Life Cycle Costing
• Value Engineering
• Project Scheduling–phasing
• Governmental and Regulatory Compliance Review
• Beginning of Infection Control Planning
• Building Information Modeling (BIM)
• LEED/Green Concept integration
PROJECT APPROACH - P16
BUDGETING PROCESS
Conceptual
Design Budgets
The very first step in our
estimating approach is to
develop a very preliminary
design, floor plan and
potential exterior elevation
and then utilize our historic
cost database to develop
a preliminary square foot
budget. This provides a
baseline as to owners’
expectations and the
preliminary design and allows
the team to begin evaluating
the most cost effective
manner to design and build
the project.
Schematic
Design Budgets
As the design becomes
more detailed, our ability to
budget does as well. During
this phase, our budgets will
begin to show the divisions of
work and will become more
detailed and broken down into
specific areas. We can start
to budget specific material
and can begin to evaluate
some of the systems options
that may be available for the
project (HV AC, Electrical and
Plumbing needs).
Design
Development Budgets
Our team is now able to
provide very detailed budgets.
The estimates are based on
actual quantity take offs and
actual product costs. The
budgets become very accurate
at this point so the detailed
process of value engineering,
material evaluation and
systems analysis can occur.
All of these can have a
tremendous impact on the
overall project costs.
Final
Construction Budgets
At this point the drawings are
complete and our budgets
have been fine tuned
to a point that the
project is ready for the
bidding process. Our firm
will solicit bids on the work and will
be able to determine a Guaranteed
Maximum Price during this phase.
You will have the ability to review all
the bids received and will have the
flexibility to select the contractors that
you want to work with. Our team will
evaluate all the bids so you can feel
confident in the subcontractor team
and the overall project costs.

VALUE ENGINEERING SUGGESTIONS
See our Value Engineering Suggestions Chart example below:
VALUE ENGINEERING SUGGESTIONS
VALUE ENGINEERING
Over 90% of our work is negotiated where we are involved throughout the
design and work closely with the team in developing cost options. So virtually
every project we do, our team provides the preconstruction services including
value engineering to assist the owner and designer with balancing wants and
needs with the budget.
Specific examples of value engineering would range from the over $4 million
worth of options we developed on the new Crossing Rivers Hospital
in Prairie du Chien, to the roofing/structural options we developed at
the Hayward Hospital that created enough project savings to add a new
entrance to the hospital. We developed over $100K in opportunities on
the Sacred Heart Emergency Department project as well as over $250,000
worth of options for the new Trempealeau County Healthcare Center.
When it comes to value engineering, our team is not looking for ways
to cheapen the project, but instead looks for alternatives to enhance the
project while developing cost saving opportunities.

PROJECT APPROACH - P18
Detailed Cost Estimating:
As drawings and specifications are developed, the schematic design estimate is refined and updated. Using information
regarding quantity surveys, previous cost data, current market pricing and features unique to the project, a realistic
construction estimate is developed. An actual takeoff will be performed and will provide a very accurate cost estimate.
In our opinion, a detailed cost estimate should be completed when the construction documents are at the 50% complete
point and again at the 80% complete point.
ESTIMATING AND COST MANAGEMENT
All projects, large or small, operate within a finite budget. Compromise, creativity, cost–cutting, and value judgements are a
normal part of the design process. Finding the balance between creative design, quality appearance, durable construction, and
value comes with experience and practice. Helping our clients make value judgements starts at the programming phase and
endures until the building’s grand opening day or beyond.
Budget management and control have become a major challenge for most owners. We approach budget control by providing
as much information as possible to you so that good decisions can be made. This information is based on experience and input
from architects, contractors, and consultants.
The needs, wants and opportunities will make budget a key design criteria throughout the project. Scope, quality and
provisions for future opportunities will be evaluated at each phase and resolved before proceeding to the next phase. It is never
easy to “take things out” of a project — but if revisions or reductions are based on the project’s clearly articulated objectives,
strategy and vision, then every decision has a standard evaluation process.
Estimating is a continual process. Individual systems are compared to alternatives, and each finish selected by comparing
several manufacturers. The level of detail continues to be refined as the documents are completed. We will provide estimates at
the completion of each phase and will continually update and price alternates throughout the process.
ESTIMATING ACCURACY AND PROJECT SAVINGS
Our team has the unique ability to provide accurate preliminary estimates, backed up by a proven track record of creating
project efficiencies resulting in real cost savings. Our team is the only one that can combine all the above critical
components to this process. With many of our recent projects, our summary reports have shown savings in various areas,
which has allowed the owner the ability to enhance the project in other areas.
Results:
Our firm is proud of our proven track record of delivering projects within budget and often times under budget.
Below is a partial list of project savings recently returned to our clients.
PROJECT APPROACH - P19
Our project managers have weekly
reports that indicate not only where
the labor hours are, but the status
of material costs, equipment costs,
and indirect costs.
PROJECT COST CONTROLS
Controlling project costs is always an owner’s major concern. Our
team is always on top of cost controls by performing weekly and
monthly reports to compare the budgeted costs to the actual costs.
This process acts as a proactive means to red flag any potential
problem areas. Our main reporting systems include:
Weekly Labor Cost Reports
Every week our field supervisors will receive a report that
indicates the estimated hours, actual hours used and projected
hours to complete for the literally hundreds of work phases on the
project. This is the first line of defense in not allowing a project’s
labor costs to get out of control. This report is used if we self
perform the work with M&J employees.
Weekly Job Costs Reports
Our project managers will have weekly reports that indicate not
only where the labor hours are, but also the status of material
costs, equipment costs, and indirect costs. Our project managers
will monitor your project on a weekly basis and react to those
areas that show signs of concern.
Weekly & Monthly Summary Report
As owner, you can receive weekly or monthly reports that summarize the entire project indicating the estimated costs,
actual costs and projected costs. With many of our recent projects, these reports have shown savings in various areas,
which has allowed the owner the ability to enhance the project in other areas.
Executive Summary Report
This communication tool is a high–level review of all major components of your project.
PROJECT SCHEDULING AND PHASING
Primary Milestone Project Scheduling
After consulting with the team, a preliminary project schedule is submitted indicating major milestone dates for
design, bidding, construction, occupancy, and other key items. This schedule will direct the entire project team towards
answering questions regarding potential phasing or the need to pre-order long lead time items.
Project Phasing
If phasing appears to be required, the project team will develop a strategy to concentrate on the construction documents
and specifications to price out and potentially begin the physical construction of various portions of the project. For
example, creating an early site preparation bid package can typically save several weeks of on-site construction. If
there are any long lead time item concerns, the project team will develop the product specification and quantity take-off
of those items for early bidding and product procurement.
Master Project Scheduling
As the design proceeds and building parameters are identified, the earlier primary milestone project schedule is
expanded with a detailed critical path method (CPM) schedule for design and construction. This CPM schedule
analyzes the time required for each activity and refines time requirements for each team member and trade contractor.
3D. CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
PROJECT APPROACH - P20
Long-lead material and equipment purchase recommendations and deliveries will be identified. Once subcontractor
bids are received, the schedule will be reviewed with the major subcontractors to assure the allotted time will be
adequate. If need be, refinements can be made at this early point to produce a project that can be completed on time.
Recently Lean Construction scheduling processes have been utilized to coordinate delivery of materials and
equipment to optimize the use of on-site labor. Market & Johnson is committed to utilizing this type of scheduling
process to maintain a smooth project flow while at the same time maximizing labor cost savings.
Five-Week Focused Schedule
Market & Johnson utilizes a written five-week look ahead schedule in addition to our overall plan. Created by
our site supervisors, the five-week look ahead schedule is utilized by the field crews to identify in detail the flow
of the project and the expected progress of the work they are currently involved in. It also supports contingency
planning in case delays arise, and forces all trades involved with the project to continually evaluate and reforecast
their work. This very detailed schedule is used in the weekly progress meetings and identifies all of the little things
that must be completed and by when. Along with the weekly labor hour report, this is the first line of defense for
keeping the project on schedule.
Weekly Project Coordination Meetings
Once construction begins, weekly coordination meetings are scheduled. Attendees for these meetings include
representatives from the owner, the architectural/engineering team, the construction manager, subcontractors
active on the project, and any needed equipment and material supplier representatives. These meetings will be
the backbone for monitoring all project issues as they relate to RFI responses, project scheduling, project change
status, cost control issues, and quality issues. Meeting minutes are available within a day of each meeting on our
collaboration software.
We are proactive in managing the budget, schedule, and quality . If there are potential
issues, we address them and have the resources and leverage to deal with them.
PROJECT APPROACH - P21
BID AND AWARD PROCESS
Our philosophy is to assure you that all capable subcontractors, equipment providers, and material suppliers are
knowledgeable of your project and invited to bid on their respective divisions of work. We utilize the various Builders
Exchanges, Dodge Reporting Service, Market & Johnson’s own in–house “Bid Notification Software,” and direct phone
contacts.
As design nears completion, an appropriate list of bidders is identified, prequalified, and recommended. To ensure
competitive bidding and accurate pricing, our team formulates a list of qualified vendors and subcontractors.
Selection from this list will be determined by the following criteria:
• Relevant project experience
• Previous experience with the team
• Ability to staff the project and maintain schedules
• Financial strength
• Safety record
• Minority business enterprise considerations
• Owner approval
• Local experience
CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Once construction begins, Market & Johnson initiates our quality
project management services. Our leaders will direct and manage
the communication process necessary to successfully complete
every project.
Our management skills and tools are two of our firm’s strongest
assets and allow the project management team to deliver a cost-
effective, high quality, and safe project.
Our project management services include:
• On-Site Mana gement
• Project Scheduling
• Budget Control
• Quality Assurance
• Subcontractor Management
• Project Communication
• Project Safety Plan
PROJECT APPROACH - P22
SAFETY PRACTICES
Our safety program
is based on continual
training, on–site
evaluation, site specific
plans and a motivational
incentive plan.
Project safety cannot be emphasized too much. It is our
responsibility to make certain that all persons—construction
trades people, your employees, and visitors
are all exposed to a safe and friendly
construction environment. It is critical for
both our reputations. In the construction
industry safety is a critical component of
every project. Market & Johnson places
a tremendous value on safety in many
different aspects. From our employees
to subcontractor and from our client’s
employees to the general public that
may come in contact with your building
project—Market & Johnson makes safety
our number one priority. Our goal on every project is to
have everyone that project touches go home safely at night.
Our full time safety director leads a very proactive safety
program that produces positive results and creates safe
projects. Our safety program is based on continual training,
on–site evaluation, site specific plans and a motivational
incentive plan. Preplanning is also a major
component of our program. By proper
planning we are able to create plans for
those activities that possess a safety risk.
We then can develop a specific training for
that activity ahead of time.
Over the past 10 years, Market & Johnson
has received numerous safety awards from
the Associated General Contractors of
Wisconsin.

COMMUNICATION METHODS
24/7 Procore Communication
Market & Johnson’s Procore Communication program
is an online tool that provides our clients with a totally
customizable tool to meet all their communication needs. This
online tool allows our clients 24–hour a day access to the
information that they want to see. Through secured access on
our website, you will have the ability to view all the project
information you want to see. From drawings and budgets to
schedules and RFI’s—you will have access to it all.
Executive Monthly Report
Each month an Executive Monthly Report is created to keep
the project team updated with the project’s progress. The
report is then emailed or printed for distribution to the project
team. Report highlights include what has happened in the last
30 days, what will happen in the next 30 days, key project
schedule dates and pictures of the project’s progress.
Drone Footage
One new form of communication Market & Johnson has
invested in is unmanned aerial vehicles (UA Vs), more
commonly known as drones. Our drones are used to take
aerial photos and videos of projects to show clients the
progress of their project. These images and videos allow
stakeholders to keep track of the progress visually without
ever setting foot on the property.

PROJECT APPROACH - P24
PROJECT CLOSE–OUT
The items targeted in the project close–out phase may seem rather small when compared to the scope of your entire project,
but we feel very strongly that they are vitally important to bringing a project to a satisfactory completion.
Our team will work diligently to accomplish these items.
System Start–Up and Testing
It is recommended that the owner’s facilities and maintenance
personnel join the project team to observe the trade
contractor’s check–out of operational systems and equipment
evaluation for readiness while assisting in their initial start–up
and testing. Videotaping will take place as requested and be
furnished for future training and reference purposes.
Punch List
All subcontractors are required to self administer punch lists
of their work as they near completion. The progress of these
items is monitored during the weekly meetings. We have
experienced that a quality subcontractor can eliminate nearly
all of the typical punch list items.
As the work nears completion, the Owner, Market & Johnson,
the architect and the engineering consultants will determine
the appropriate time to inspect each area for contract
compliance. Our team will publish a list to correct items that
are not in compliance with the drawings and specifications,
and then be responsible for correcting all non–compliant
items. This work is typically completed right after substantial
completion.
Certification of Substantial and Final Completion
As the work approaches completion, a list of incomplete items
and a completion schedule is prepared. Progress is monitored
and preparations are made for final inspection and issuance
of the Architect’s Certificate of Final Completion.
Required guarantees, affidavits, releases, bonds and waivers
are completed and delivered. Additional items that will be
delivered to the Owner include all keys, manuals, record
drawings and additional material stock.
Post–Construction
We also believe it is important for the people operating
systems to be assisted by engineers and suppliers during the
first year’s seasonal transitions. Collaboration between our
team and the facilities personnel during the first year will
help the key systems changeover events run smoothly. All
team members will be available to help with any issues that
may arise. Our relationships are of utmost importance to us
and we will make sure that you are satisfied.
Eleventh Month Inspection
As an added precaution, an Eleventh Month Inspection is
completed. Our team will review the entire project, looking
for anything that may fall within the minimum one–year
warranty period. Our team will also meet with the owner’s
representatives to review any concerns you may have with
any feature of your building and its systems. This time frame
allows us the opportunity to make any needed corrections and
have them fall within the minimum one–year warranty period.
Special Projects Division
Market & Johnson has a Special Projects Division that
provides comprehensive maintenance and small project
services to our clients. This team of dedicated professionals
are committed exclusively to smaller projects, including
operations maintenance, warranty work and smaller
remodeling projects. Our commitment to your project
does not end with the warranty period and includes a
comprehensive service that the Owner can access for years
to come. We are the only Construction Management in the
region that provides a dedicated service to meet your Special
Project needs.

evaluated immediately by a Market & Johnson management member.
• All conditions adverse to quality assurance and safety that are not resolved are reported to Market & Johnson’s Executive
Committee to resolve the issue before it affects the project quality.
Resources
• Our firm utilizes several resources to ensure quality. These resources are responsible for inspections, testing, and training.
• To ensure proper quality control checks, Market & Johnson uses an independent testing agency to test several processes. These
processes include but are not limited to: concrete slump and strength, soil testing, and steel strength, welds, and tension on bolts.

focuses on proper techniques, safety, and quality standards. The training program focuses on concrete crack controlling,
studs and drywall techniques, masonry procedures for flashing and cracking, and other relevant procedures.

safety compliance, and overall progress. Personnel conducting the audits are properly trained to assess that specific process.

5. PROJECT FEE
Eau Claire City Hall • Eau Claire, WI
5. PROJECT FEE - P33
As your construction partner, we understand the
importance of providing value throughout the project
and most specifically, making certain that your project
is exceptionally cost-effective. Our firm is proud of our
track record of being one of the most efficient groups in
the state by focusing on a couple of key areas.
First, we focus our attention within a 75-mile radius
of our offices; this allows us to eliminate expensive
travel, trucking, subsistence. At the same time, it lets us
leverage our buying power with area subcontractors and
material suppliers. Second, we operate on a completely
open book process, so you see all costs-any and all
project savings, and you are always informed of project
costs. Finally, we maximize bidding opportunities for
area contractors. In doing this not only do we receive
the best pricing, but we create more opportunities for
local firms to earn portions of your work.
In addition to our cost-efficient philosophy, we realize
that we have an obligation to work closely with the
project team to develop a project between now and
ground breaking that not only meets your operational
needs but also meets your financial objectives. For
that reason, our firm is completely at risk with you
during that time and will not ask for any compensation
during this time-period. If for any reason, our team
can’t develop solutions that work for you, you have no
obligations to Market & Johnson. This approach creates
additional motivation for our professionals to develop
and create options that are the most cost-effective
solutions to meet your needs now and in the future.
PRECONSTRUCTION SERVICES FEE
On a per project basis, we will provide cost estimating,
high level construction schedule, and assist with
constructability issues during the Schematic Design and
Design Development phases.
Preconstruction Services Fee .............................. No Fee
FEE PROPOSAL
Our fee is a percentage of the estimated Cost of Work,
with construction costs to be $500,000.
Construction Management Fee ............................. 4.7 %
What’s included in cost of work and project fee?
The best way to describe what is included in the fee and
what is a project cost is everything that occurs on the
project site is Cost of Work; everything that occurs off
site is part of the Project Fee.
