Charlotte South End Hotel: ConEst Manager Review
conest-manager-review for charlotte-south-end-hotel lead by josh-ford, attended by joel-jansen and myself.
Feeders
"MSA TO BUSDUCT" needs more elbows: added.
Josh talked about necessary pullboxes, but they were not added. Josh stated the purpose of the closeout budget is to prevent procurement from buying sizes that may be chosen arbitrarily. Added $5,000 to the budget.
Concern was expressed that feeders up from Main Elec may need to be lengthened to follow MSA TO BUSDUCT routing shown on floor plans.
[!quote] Josh Ford I really like that your feeders are whole numbers, that's nice.
Generator control wiring missing? may be taken off as mech? not resolved, moved on?
Subfeeds
Unit Mech Connections
concern that subfeeds may be double dipping suggest decreasing if tightening is needed
Routing
Josh complemented subfeed routing: "That's taking pride in your work."
I have had hesitation that it was worth doing, if someone told me it was a waste of time, I would not have been inclined to disagree.
Units
Unit receptacles are shown controlled by master switch system. I assumed full control (not half) so made no consideration in takeoff. Approved.
Lighting Control
DO NOT USE System "LV - Lighting Controls System" EVER
My Mistakes
[!failure] Port Cochere was taken off as Exterior Amenity. Joel corrected this without telling me.
[!failure] Missed unit occupancy sensors
Closeout
[!quote] Josh Ford We're carrying material handling because we own fixtures and it's a tall building
Labor Plan
$1.41 per sf garage, expected ~$1.00
0.182 hrs/sf seems incredibly high, expected ~0.120.
Aside
[!aside] estimating-golf question: "you only have one main switchboard?"
Josh found the answer to a question of scope in the qualifications of pdi-bid-estimating's proposal. he said he did not immediately think to look for them because they are rare of current proposals. Apparently they are penalized by the Proposal Audit Scorecard. "They wanted it uniform so they stopped putting qualifications on proposals"
