PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY
In order to ensure competitive pricing, Eklutna Services obtains multiple bids from
subcontractors and suppliers for all significant portions of the work. We pre-qualify both
subcontractors and suppliers so that the only firms that we work with have proven reputations
for excellent and timely work execution.
Our approach can be as open book as is desired. We value Owner input on subcontractors and
suppliers that they have positive experiences with. We provide monthly job cost reports that
show progress against budget.
Contracts: Depending on the scope, using a Fixed Price basis may be carefully considered.
That requires clear drawings and specifications. When the design is adequate, FFP works fine.
We are very flexible and will work under most any contractual arrangement you desire.
Alternatively, we have no problem with doing work on a Cost Plus with Guaranteed Maximum
Price process. This methodology first establishes an appropriate budget and then allows the
Owner to review and approve every expenditure. A cost saving clause for performance under
the budget limit is frequently desirable. We would propose a 70/30 split of any funds saved by
our efforts to keep costs down.
As your team member, Eklutna Services provides you with an experienced team that possesses
the skills necessary for the timely project completion. Our skills include the following:
 Our Timberline estimating system and Microsoft Project
scheduling skills are excellent
 Solid practical knowledge in the use of CPM scheduling
 Experienced and skilled crews available
SKILLS
 Established relationships with public officials, subcontractors, and
suppliers
 Previously completed varied work under tight timeframes
 Extensive experience in material coordination
 A good track record of ensuring users are pleased
 Sage 100 Contractor Accounting Software
We accomplish these tasks with a committed project management staff. We maintain a detailed
Master Schedule, as well as utilize a running, 2-week look-ahead schedule to keep construction
crews and subcontractors focused on the immediate critical activities to be accomplished to stay
on schedule. We believe our skilled team will make your project goal obtainable through diligent
adherence to detail.

SNOW DISPOSAL SITE
TOPSOIL SALES AND GRAVEL IMPORT
During the 2011-2012 winter seasons, Anchorage set the record for most snowfall, receiving
over 133” of snow. Even with average snowfall amounts, the need for an additional site was
recognized and asked for by the Chugiak/Birchwood/Eagle River Rural Road Service Area
Board. Eklutna, Inc. completed the process of permitting and designing Site 4 into a snow
removal location for the Anchorage and Mat-Su areas. There is approximately 1.3 million square
feet of parking lot area that could utilize this site for snow removal. Based on that number, it is
anticipated that 6” of snowfall would generate between 85 to 170 truckloads. This generates
revenue without selling Eklutna, Inc. lands. Eklutna completed requisite permitting for Site 4 and
prepared the site for snow import in 2013. Snow import is now up and running and ESL will be
in excellent position for the 2014-2015 winter season.
