A n: Mr. John Doughty, Sr. Management Analyst
Dear Mr. Doughty:
The City of Half Moon Bay and County of San
Mateo have persevered for years to build a new
library that be er serves the community. Our
assignment is to deliver the envisioned library
within budget and on schedule, working within
the context of the stakeholders. During our 34year history, Griffin Structures, Inc. (Griffin) has
delivered every single project on me and on
budget. Our track record is excellent.
Roger Torriero, Mark Schatz, and Robert Carnes
bring outstanding creden als to the library
project. During design, the focus is on design
management, outreach, and cost tradeoffs
(Mark’s strength). During construc on, the
focus is on cost, quality control, and managing
complex construc on challenges (Rob’s
strength). Throughout the en re process, strong
management experience, visionary oversight,
and prac cal thinking play a pivotal role (Roger’s
strength).
Griffin’s team is an integrated collabora on
of professionals who have a proven history of
working together and delivering similar library
projects. Mark, highly experienced in San
Mateo County, managed the design of two San
Mateo branch libraries; and, together, we have
delivered more than 28 municipal libraries and
managed projects for more than 100 California
ci es. (See the cover page for representa ve
examples of our collec ve library experience.)
Our team excels with projects of high public
interest and visibility. Griffin proposes a tailored
outreach program for your new library that
leverages our experience in conduc ng public
mee ngs and outreach briefings, preparing
project summary materials, and managing the
flow of informa on to a diverse community of
project stakeholders. (For details, refer to the
Project Approach sec on.)
We are prac cal project and construc on
managers, deploying best cost control
methods to ensure we meet the project
budget. As your fiduciary, we con nually
perform cost reviews and maintain an
accurate accoun ng of all project elements
(the Total Project Budget). When and as
needed, we perform comprehensive Value
Engineering that respects user expecta ons
and program requirements. All tradeoffs are
clearly stated for review and approval.
Griffin understands, and has direct experience
with, complex project financing requirements,
including lease revenue bonds. Our extensive
experience with projects requiring mul ple
funding sources and our accoun ng
knowledge of how to maintain and review
project financing accordingly provides a
dis nct advantage.
In summary, Griffin Structures is very
well qualified to perform the project and
construc on management services needed
for the new Half Moon Bay Library. We look
forward to joining you in the delivery of an
on-schedule/on-budget library of which the
City of Half Moon Bay, County of San Mateo,
and the community will be proud.

will serve as overall Project Manager from
commencement through post occupancy.
Pre-Construc on Phase: During the preconstruc on phase, Mark Schatz will serve
as the primary design manager, assis ng
the City will all aspects of managing the
RFP, en tlement, design, engineering, and
permi ng process. During this me, Robert
Carnes will provide periodic constructability
reviews and key design milestone dates, in
support of Mark’s ac vi es.
Contractor Bidding Phase: During the bidding
phase, Robert Carnes will begin to transi on
more consistently into the project and take the
lead in managing the bid process. This process
will include managing the adver sements, bid
RFI’s, addenda, and overseeing the bid opening
and bid review process. Mark will con nue to
provide insight into the process and serve as a
support to Robert.
Construc on Phase: Once a contract is
awarded, Robert Carnes will host a preconstruc on mee ng that will kick off the
construc on phase of the project. Accordingly,
Robert will then serve as the primary contact
for all communica on between the General
Contractor, the City’s consultants, and City staff
and departments.
Total Project Dura on:
1. Throughout the en re process, Roger will
serve as the Project Manager and the key
responsible party regarding all aspects of
the project. Accordingly, Roger’s con nuous
involvement on the project will ensure that
all phases of the process func on smoothly
and to the ul mate fulfillment of the City’s
objec ves.
2. Griffin’s established comprehensive
management techniques permit oversight of
mul ple projects simultaneously. By using
extensive document controls, ac onable
direc ves, and consistent accountability
oversight, Griffin is able to manage all the
mul -faceted aspects of a project.
3. Griffin u lizes an online, cloud-based,
document management system call
“Submi al Exchange” to administer and
oversee all the documents being processed.
Highly customizable, and simple to use, this
337
12
system has provided impressive savings in
both cost and me for all members of the
project team. This system also serves as a
very efficient tool in the management and
checking of bid documents.
4. Griffin provides quality control oversight
by combining technical exper se and
experience with disciplined management
tools and protocols. During the
design phase, Griffin will perform two
constructability reviews of the plans and
specifica ons to help ensure the City has
the most comprehensive bid set possible.
During construc on, Griffin will conduct
regularly scheduled observa ons, take
site photographs, perform rou ne spot
inspec ons, and con nually monitor and
manage any challenges or issues in order
to deliver the highest level of quality to the
City, while ensuring the City maintains its
fiduciary responsibility to the cons tuents.
5. Successfully managing cost and schedule
relies first and foremost on experience.
Griffin’s ability to maintain a high level
perspec ve, while understanding the
detailed technical aspects of a project
allows our managers to iden fy poten al
impacts to both cost and schedule. Griffin
also u lizes an extensive cost and schedule
management database that provides insight
into cos ng trends as well as past project
schedules. In totality, this guarantees the
City will have extensive and thorough
oversight of the project to ensure its
success.
6. As discussed above, Griffin proposes a
phased management approach that u lizes
the strengths of each team member. To
that end, Mark’s hours are allocated at two
13
days per week during this phase, though it
is understood that real hourly alloca on will
vary in response to the needs of the project.
Similarly, Robert’s hours will average two
days per week during the bid phase, and
ramp up to four days per week during
construc on. Roger’s me will be evenly
distributed throughout the dura on of the
project, with a weekly average of six hours.
It should be noted that Griffin emphasizes
the needs of the client above all else, and
therefore we are commi ed to providing the
hours and services needed by the City. O en
this results in the realloca on of staff hours
between staff members, thus enhancing
our responsiveness to the City without
nega vely impac ng the contract budget.
Based on all of the above, and in the interest
of preserving the City’s resources, this is
our best approach to providing the needed
services while not overly burdening the City
in Project Management cost.
7. As discussed above, Griffin goes to great
length to successfully manage both cost
and schedule. Specifically, some of the tools
Griffin uses to achieve this include: MS
Project Master Schedules, Master Budgets,
Capital Expenditure Schedules, Detailed
Schedule of Values, Cri cal Path Fragnet
Analysis, Differen a on Documents for
comprehensive scoping, Constructability
Analysis and Overlay, and Detailed Cost
Analysis. Of course, with all of these tools,
Griffin will provide extensive technical and
historical experience.
8. To successfully manage public and
contractor rela ons, Griffin assumes a
‘win win’ perspec ve. With decades of
experience, Griffin has demonstrated
that despite the rou ne challenges and
338
poten al confronta ons associated with
construc on projects, there is always a
solu on that preserves the City’s core
interests, while also providing for the
success of all par es involved, including
the public, the consultants, and the
contractor. Through regular and mely
communica on, experienced problem
solving, and a diploma c corporate culture,
Griffin successfully provides construc on
administra on that results in a ‘win win’
for all involved. By doing so, we provide the
impetus to deliver projects on budget and
on me.
Public Outreach: The skill to effec vely manage
and conduct outreach services and garner
consensus is a cri cal component of this
project. With so many ac ve and interested
stakeholders, the public has a seasoned
awareness of the project schedule and budget.
As a par cularly significant stakeholder
organiza on, The Friends of the Library, as well
as representa ves of the San Mateo County
library system, will require early engagement.
Some of this engagement will be directed by
City agencies or others; however, a key element
relies on informa on generated through and
presented by the selected Team for this project.
The Griffin Team will design and implement
a program of bilateral communica ons
that addresses major project issues with
the Friends, City officials, and other key
stakeholders. Tools for accomplishing this
(various workshops, City web site integra on,
web-based survey response capture, social
media, and more) will be coordinated with
the City of Half Moon Bay. Since the majority
of Mike Schatz’s library project experience
entailed a significant amount of public
outreach, he is par cularly skilled in managing
outreach workshops related to libraries.
Roger Torriero is also highly skilled and brings
considerable exper se in managing and
conduc ng community outreach ac vi es.
Although rou ne outreach services comprise
an integral part of our project management
services, we are prepared to expand our
program of outreach services, project
repor ng, and display to include press release
services, project web-cams, and more, should
the City desire.
There are two types of outreach: (1) the bidirec onal communica ons addressing project
context, scope, and various tradeoff decisions,
and (2) communica ng rou ne informa on,
such as public no fica ons regarding access to
relocated services, site control signage before,
during, and a er construc on, project progress
reports, and others. The discussion here refers
mainly to the first type, but the second type is
equally important.
