The current project schedule is as follows:

NOTE: The selected applicant will be required to provide proof of project-specific insurance compliant with the requirements of the Agreement Between Owner and Commissioning Agent prior to execution of that Agreement, including Professional Liability, General Liability, Automotive Liability, and Worker’s Compensation.

THE INTERVIEW

Short-listed design teams demonstrated on paper their qualifications, past performance, and experience with similar scopes of work. Now, the University seeks to determine which team provides the best combination of those qualities with an ability to integrate its talent and approach with the UF-619 IBC & IHLC New Facilityproject and its primary stakeholders and agents (Owner/User Group, A/E, CM).

Each team will be evaluated on its presentation, pre-interview submittals, references, and the selection criteria outlined in the original Project Fact Sheet.

The interview format consists of a 30-minute opening statement by the team, followed by a 20-minute, interactive Q&A / discussion between the team and the Selection Committee. Instead of leaving the content of the 30-minute presentation open to interpretation, though, the Committee asks that each team specifically provide the following:

• A review by the team leader (PM) of the scope of Cx services and the systems to be Commissioned, plus an explanation by other key staff of their role(s)
• A review of the team’s planned approach to Commissioning on this project

• An explanation of the Commissioning Agent’s role and a discussion of the team’s ability to integrate with the Owner/users and the design and construction teams
• A brief discussion of the teams ability to provide Cx services … specifically, review the availability (workload) and proximity (location) of key staff; confirm the team’s understanding of the project schedule; and confirm the firm’s acknowledgement of the draft contract and available fee

Finalists are urged to focus on this project, not to re-hash past successes on other projects. Do not bring anyone who will not play a direct and active role in the Commissioning process.
