Please provide the role of a Project Engineer in this project Your company has pre-qualified to submit a bid package on Senior High School project under the traditional project delivery system (Design/Bid/Build). The project involves construction and start-up of high school building costing $100M. As a part of the bid package, you have been asked to prepare a document explaining your project management plan in detail. You don't have to go much into the Technical Specs of the project as you are not required to design anything. HD Senior High School will be a 230,130 gross square foot new high school facility to accommodate up to 900 students in grades 9 through 12. The facility is designed around a developing trend in high schools that are focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This newly developed STEM Concept allows students to learn in a very practical and hands-on manner. The STEM requirements allow for integral design of classroom and laboratory spaces. An emphasis in technology at HD High School is also very present. Classrooms will use interactive smart board technology and students will all have individual laptops. The actual facility of HD Senior High School will be striving to achieve LEED Gold Certification upon completion under the LEED for Schools program by the US Green Building Council. Green Roof technology and highly reflective EPDM roofing membrane will assist in achieving critical LEED Points. An elaborate rain and grey water system will also be used to reduce run-off and conserve water. A Baysaver system will be used to filter all other run-off water. In addition to the high-tech classrooms, the facility construction also includes a competition gymnasium, auxiliary gymnasium, natatorium, auditorium, cafeteria, artificial turf football field, eight lane all-weather track, throwing areas, high jump and triple jump areas, softball field and press boxes. Project complexities/constraints: Suggest preferred method of construction for the structural system. With building height not being a design limitation, in respect to maximizing number of floors this can be factored into the method chosen. Existing facilities on site have to be demolished. A 300 square foot hole ranging from 6 to 14 feet deep must be filled with structural fill after dewatering and stabilization. The site allows limited on-site parking and street parking is available for overflow parking. The surrounding area is mostly residential and street parking will provide some parking spaces during construction. Many construction recycling companies are available to the area, from Aggregate on site recycling to sorting and hauling services. The concrete from the existing facility will be recycled during demolition. Subsurface and site conditions from the demolition pose a hazard to the surrounding area due to the groundwater level and large holes on the site. Certain areas range from 6 to 14 feet below grade and contain up to 10 feet of water. The soil bearing capacity does not require anything more than the use of geopeirs in certain locations. Spread footings are sufficient in certain areas and for detached structures around sports facilities. Rain water harvesting and grey water capturing will be implemented for re-use in certain plumbing fixtures. The building is also expected to achieve LEED Gold under USGBC LEED for Schools. Successful management: The successful management of the project depends on the ability to overcome the obstacles described above (and any additional constraints), control project costs, complete the construction within the timetable, deliver quality operable facilities, and maintain a positive relationship with neighborhood.
