decision-making process
• Select and educate subcontractors and suppliers
• Utilize Mortenson’s nationwide network of LEED
Accredited Professionals to share knowledge
• Document project experiences and take photos
Material Procurement
By using recycled and/or renewable materials, we are cutting
down on the strain on the Earth’s shrinking base of finite
resources. We will work with the design team to carefully select
materials that are durable and contain recycled content in
order to reduce negative environmental impacts and support
the growing market of recycled products.
• Use rapidly renewable materials
• Use materials with a high recycled content
• Locate local and/or regional sources
Recycling Management
Not only does Mortenson seek out recycled materials, we
encourage the reduction of all waste and the recovery
of materials that are reusable or recyclable in all phases
of demolition, construction, and life of the building and
surrounding areas.
• Analyze project waste
• Select recycling options to divert waste from landfills

DESCRIPTION:
Conservatory Green is a unique gathering spot for the neighboring residents
and commercial traffic. The plaza boasts a large shade shelter, a timed fire
pit, a splash pool with water curtain, and a large turf area for events. With five
different finishes and stains, decorative concrete is a dominating feature of
Conservatory Green. An architectural sedimentary wall consist of five different
stains mimics the soil layers, making the plaza look like it was cut straight into the
existing terrain. The decorative planter boxes and amphitheater seating find a
sharp contrast between the soft rolling hills of the prairie of which the plaza was
inspired and the rough sharpness of concrete. The project started early summer
2013 with a budget of roughly $2.3M and finished end of summer 2014 at $2.8M
largely due to design changes.

PROJECT BUDGET & COST
CONTROL
Building what’s next.
6. PROJECT BUDGET AND COST CONTROL
17
1. Approach
The construction industry typically measures the
success of a project by two primary factors: schedule
and budget. The questions most commonly asked are
“Was the project completed on schedule?” and “Was
the project within budget?”. With Mortenson’s
integrated approach to preconstruction and
construction services, schedule and budget are still the
two primary drivers, but the question we strive to
address:
Our approach focuses more on maximizing outcomes
than it does on simply achieving benchmarks. As your
construction partner, we will be continually tracking
trends throughout the design and construction to
make sure that the City of Fort Collins ultimately gets
the best value, the most program, and the highest
quality possible for their investment in the Old Town
Square project.
2. Value Engineering
Cost Validation
With the current design of the project being significantly
complete, Mortenson can add value through cost
validation. By working with your current design team,
Mortenson can play an important role in the
development of a market price budget. By pairing scopes
of work and specifications with project phasing and
scheduling needs, Mortenson can prepare a pricing
model. With a substantive model in place the design
process can be better kept on track, as any discrepancies
between design and costs can be caught early. A solution
can then be found that aligns with the proposed budget
without sacrificing the integrity of the projects intent.
Subcontractor Pricing
With the design near its completion Moretsnson can
immediately step in and begin the process of reaching
out to our specialty trade partners. By receiving pricing
responses from our trade partners, a greater level of
accuracy can be added to the project budget. Another
advantage to collaborating with trade partners early on is
the ability to incorporate pricing into their contracts. This
reduces the risk of major price fluctuations and adds to
the projects stability in cost.
Target Value Design
Mortenson’s team is skilled at exploring target value
design if alternatives are needed in order to achieve the
desired budget.:
1. First task is to perform a full-detail estimate of the
work, and verify that the estimate is within the
targeted budget. Joe Shinagle is responsible for
completing this task, with support from our in-house
estimating staff. Establish target budgets for each of
the components.
2. Research market alternatives to materials and
subcontractors to ensure meeting the target
component budgets.
3. Where beneficial, provide value engineered
alternatives for City and Studio Insite’s consideration.

Possible Value Engineering option for Old Town
Square:
• Recycling of demoed concrete and pavers
• Earthwork excavation /embankment balancing
• Product Selection
• Phasing
• Schedule
3. Delivery Schedule
Approaches Used to Cut Costs when Estimated Costs Exceed
the Budget
Developing required production rates with the planned
schedule, early in the preconstruction phase of the
project, helps the entire project team understand the
required pace of the project and identify risk areas. We are
then able to intelligently allocate the resources that are
necessary to achieve the plan and reduce risk. Production
rate expectations are published in our bid packages to
ensure our specialty trade subcontractors truly
understand the schedule requirements for the project.
Value Engineering at Work - Stapleton
Civil work is more difficult to value engineer due
to fewer building systems and components. Our
initial efforts included pavement section analysis
and numerous landscaping options. As the project
expanded we developed creative ways to use old
108” diameter storm pipe as underground water
storage vaults. Sequencing earthwork operations
on multiple projects to avoid double handling
dirt has saved the owner over $600,000 to date. A
Mortenson initiative to turn a protruding corner
of an old structure into a bus stop saved over
$200,000 in demolition costs. Close cooperation
with city remediation contractors has allowed
excess dirt spoils from residential filings to be used
to fill in old contamination sites.

4. Transparent and Open Book Approach
Mortenson’s philosophy is to conduct the preconstruction
process entirely on an open book basis. The GMP will be
developed with all costs fully disclosed to the City of Fort
Collins and the design team. Representatives from
each entity will be kept informed every step of the
way.
Mortenson’s open book philosophy includes
active involvement by Fort Collins and the design
team in the detailed evaluation of trade partner
bids. Through this process, Mortenson will lead
the review of all factors to be considered in the
award of the work and provide clear rationale
behind our recommendations. Once established,
Mortenson will provide periodic updates on the
GMP. We are confident that our approach
eliminates all surprises associated with project
costs, enhances the experience the team will have
in managing the project, increases the confidence
of Fort Collins in the performance of the team, and
ensures the project meets th expectations of the
project’s stakeholders.

Building what’s next.
7. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING AND SCHEDULING
19
Intense project preplanning and schedule control
are core strategies in the management plan for all
of our projects. Some of the keys to schedule
success are described below.
Software Utilized
Mortenson utilizes the Oracle Primavera P6 (version 8)
scheduling package, a recognized industry standard.
In over 30 years of CPM usage, we have developed a highly
detailed corporate enterprise structure and utilize
proprietary plug-in softwares that streamline the schedule
creation and updating processes. Schedules will be
delivered to you early, often and quickly as the project
progresses.
Collaborative Planning
We view the schedule as a collaborative tool to identify
and record the team’s most efficient project completion
strategy. With this in mind, we approach the schedule in
an open manner, soliciting input and feedback from all
project stakeholders, including your team, the design
team, code authorities, and subcontractors to ensure we
arrive at the most expeditious and cost effective solution.
The schedule is a project team plan, not simply a
Mortenson plan.
Risk Mitigation and Certainty of Delivery
Developing a CPM schedule with planned dates is only
part of the key to a successful project delivery plan. We
operate under the theory that “what gets measured gets
done”. Developing required production rates with the
planned schedule, early in the preconstruction phase of
the project, helps the entire project team understand the
required pace of the project and identify risk areas. We are
then able to intelligently allocate the resources that are
necessary to achieve the plan and reduce risk.
Production rate expectations are published in our bid
packages to ensure our specialty trade subcontractors
truly understand the schedule requirements for the
project. The result is that uncertainty is removed, giving
our subcontractors the ability to be proactive and remove
unnecessary contingencies and tighten down their bids.
Risk is further reduced during the construction phase by
continuously measuring progress against these
established production rates. Early identification of pinch
points and challenges is key to managing the project’s risk
more effectively. Long before the work begins, the project
team and our subcontractors will know exactly what level
of production is expected, and will have already
effectively planned how the team will meet those
requirements. During installation, we measure on a daily
basis how our actual production rates compare to our
plan, ensuring that the project proceeds forward
smoothly. We eliminate surprises for you and give you the
confidence that the work will be completed according to
or ahead of the planned completion dates.
Look-Ahead Scheduling
For this plaza project, we anticipate many phases with
very specific milestones for closing and opening areas to
the public. The best way to communicate this schedule is
Building what’s next.
7. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCING AND SCHEDULING
20
A powerful management tool is the short interval “look-
ahead schedule,” which is a subset of the overall project
CPM schedule. With this three-week preview, Dan
Hanavan our proposed superintendent, will verify that
each work team’s start and completion dates are still
accurate, as proposed. Field forces know where and when
they are needed, and subcontractors have the
information they need to provide manpower and
materials on time and in conformance with the overall site
logistics plans. This effort is conducted within Microsoft
Project, based on content from the CPM schedule.
Schedule output is continuously reviewed to identify
opportunities to re-sequence work, enhance quality and
safety, and expedite completion of the overall project.
Each week we will review the latest critical path identified
in the CPM schedule to ensure we are focused on driving
the most important project activities down the path to
timely completion. We will work the schedule around
meeting Fort Collins’ deadlines without exception.
Plan of the Day
We believe in order to create the strongest, unified team
we must coordinate activities with the team daily. Tony will
take the lead on daily coordination on your site. We would
invite you to attend our plan-of-the-day meeting with the
foremen each morning, preparation meetings with the
subcontractors, or Pre-Task Planning session with the craft
workers themselves. These are additional ways of
constantly communicating quality, safety and schedule
goals with the entire team to get everyone focused on
beating the planned schedule.
Pull Planning
In developing the schedule we recommend a Lean
process concept called Pull Planning. This is a
collaborative and structured process which will help the
project team produce schedules by asking the question,
“What must be done in order for me to do my work?”, and
working backward from key project milestones. This
concept helps identify what task must be completed prior
to the start of another, as well as any barriers or risks to
the start of the task. It is especially effective when
implemented on fast track projects that involve phased
design and permitting packages.
Benefits of Pull Planning
1. Collaboratively produces a sequence agreeable to
everyone
2. Communicates constraints, equipment, process,
labor, and requirements of not only the work prior
and subsequent to each task, but also its relation to
the overall project
3. Generates a ‘pull’ rather than a ‘push’ sequence.
Start with the end goal in mind and working back
from it
4. Establishes accountability to the agreed upon plan;
participants are instrumental in its production
5. Creates and conveys important milestones
6. Specifies handoffs and communicates quality,
safety and performance expectations

Graphical Scheduling
With scheduling being one of the key drivers of the Old
Town Square Renovation, Mortenson will strive to capture
its significance in a graphical schedule. As opposed to
tabular or bar schedules, graphical schedules are powerful
tools that can be utilized to clearly relay what activity is
happening on a project at any given time. This is not just
important for those constructing the project, but also for
those affected by it. In Old Town Square all of the
surrounding businesses will be able to look at the graphical
schedule and become informed on the construction
activities happening at their doorstep. These activities
include items such as Fire Department access and areas of
constraint. Graphical schedules will also help with the
phasing of the Old Town Square Renovation with particular
attention being paid to making sure that access to
businesses is always kept open.
Example Schedule
Mortenson has provided a sample schedule used in a
previous project of similar size and scope for your review
on the following page. The durations for each phase you
have outlined in the RFP are definitely achievable and we
look forward to exploring paths to improving the duration
with the entire team.

Commitment to Quality
At Mortenson, the quality of our work and our
subcontractors’ work is of utmost importance so we can
achieve 100% customer satisfaction and zero rework, thus
increasing efficiency and reducing project cost. During
the preconstruction phase, Mortenson will adapt our
standard Quality Management Plan to fit the unique
desires of the City of Fort Collins, the Design Team and the
project. This proactive plan is a formal quality monitoring
process that will ensure our standards of construction
meet or exceed the requirements of the contract
documents. Mortenson’s Quality Management Plan is
implemented through the use of up front planning,
written procedures, instructions, checklists, and document
forms. Our Quality Management Plan is a management
tool to drive both our self-performed work as well as our
subcontractors work. The Plan is composed of the
following major elements:
Integrated Work Plans (IWP) – IWP’s are project-customized
work plans that integrate safety, quality, and efficiency into a
step-by-step description of a work process. The plan also
includes productivity rates, a list of tools and equipment
required to complete the work described, potential
problems that may occur along with mitigating actions, and
any applicable checklists or supplemental instructions.
High Risk Activity Mitigation – High risk activities and scopes of
work are identified in advance on all projects. Mortenson
team members who have previous experience in these
particular scopes of work meet with the project team and
assist the team with ensuring that the work is installed
properly. The team is also provided with other forms of
knowledge resources as needed to assist them.

Mockups – The plaza project will have unique paving
and other architectural elements. The mockups will
be built by the tradesmen that will be performing the
work, especially foremen or lead men, so as to verify
the tradesmen understand exactly what is required and
the materials, means, and methods needed to meet the
quality standards required.
Quality Leadership Team (QLT) – The QLT is a diverse group of
individuals from across Mortenson’s Denver Operating
Group who meet regularly to discuss the current state
as well as the future direction of the Quality Initiative.
This group performs monthly audits of all projects to
ensure the project teams are complying with the Project
Management Best Practices Manual. These monthly
audits allow the QLT members to maintain open
communication and close contact with the project team
members, allowing them to identify areas of need by
individual projects as well as the Operating Group as a
whole regarding Quality. This information is used to help
guide the direction of the Quality Initiative.
Construction is a people management business. The
proper management of the people involved in the
project, irrespective of who they work for, is the key to a
successful project. It is Mortenson’s desire to develop and
maintain a truly integrated, collaborative team
atmosphere with the subcontractors, suppliers, Fort
Collins and the entire design team. To achieve quality
work, our experience has taught us to view quality as a
proactive, preventative effort rather than a “policing” post-
work control effort. This quality management effort
begins during the subcontractor/supplier contract
negotiations, continues through submittal procurement
and review, and is at its highest level during the
construction phase inspection, mock-up and pre-final
inspection activities.
Three-phase Inspection Process
Powerful in its ability to leverage the expertise of the
collective project team, Mortenson’s three-phase
inspection process is an integral part of our formal Quality
Control Plan that is a staple on all Mortenson projects,
regardless of size. At its core, the preparatory meetings,
initial inspections and follow-up inspections are based on
early planning and ensuring work is put in place, as
intended…the first time.
1. Preparatory Meeting - Mortenson will lead an in-
depth review of the relevant submittals, contract
documents, mockups, and integrated work plans
ensure all expectations are fully communicated and
understood.
2. Initial Inspection - Our inspection process requires that
detailed inspections (using Quality Checklists created
as a product of the Preparatory Meetings) are carried
out immediately after new scopes of work begin.
These inspections ensure the design intent is properly
realized in the field.
3. Follow-up Inspection - As we work on a particular scope
our team members will formally inspect the work
Building what’s next.
8. QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL
25
Zero Punchlist - Zero punchlist is our goal. Prior to asking
you to conduct your final inspections, we conduct our
own “pre-punch” inspection to confirm all work will meet
or exceed your expectations. As we have successfully
accomplished on previous projects, our team understands
the importance of finishing the project with zero
punchlist.
Regardless of how big or small the project, our approach
and expectation of quality on every project is still the
same.
As we stated previously, adoption of new technology
must make the process more efficient and result in
tangible benefits to the project for the entire team. We
have seen many technologies come and go but we have
also proved that some technologies make a big impact.
Below are some of those new technologies that we use
on all of our projects to improve communications with
your team, your user groups, the design team and our
subcontractors.
Bottom Line: Our processes
save you money, time, and ensures
that you are getting the best quality
product on the first pass.
We Simply Deliver Higher Value.
Beyond the fact that Stapleton is the largest
infill redevelopment in history, it is obvious
that this project is massive by any measure.
The difficulty in building a city lies not in
the technical aspects of the work, but in the
sheer number of external customers the
construction manager answers to. Mortenson
currently has 31 external customers including
three ownership groups, two federal agencies,
three state agencies, 14 city of Denver
agencies, four neighborhood groups, and
five operating businesses within the site. As
residents move into Stapleton, new external
customers such as H.O.A.’s, retail management
firms, schools, and action communities
are added monthly. Communication and
responsiveness are the keys to survival
amongst competing and conflicting interests.
CASE STUDY //
Stapleton Redevelopment
Understanding Stakeholders
“When we selected Mortenson as our
Construction Manager in August of 2000
for Stapleton, our goal was to hire a firm
that was flexible enough to meet our diverse
needs in building a new city. Mortenson has
a can do attitude and will tackle any task
from managing designers to managing
homebuilders.

9 PARTNERING EXPERIENCE
PARTNERING EXPERIENCE
Building what’s next.
9. PARTNERING EXPERIENCE

Integrated design phase management comes down to
one very simple concept, sharing the vision. When the
team shares a global vision for the project, no one entity is
solely responsible for the outcome; all team members are
accountable to the successful completion of the project.
Mortenson’s approach to design phase management is
based on a partnering philosophy that stems from our
corporate values of Trust, Responsibility, Teamwork,
Service, Stewardship, and Safety. Our approach
emphasizes a push towards building trust, mastering
intra-team conflict, commitment from all team
members, accountability to all, and a focus on project
centered results. We will do this through a combination
of leadership, detailed planning, intense coordination,
strong communication, and tremendous depth of
knowledge in the construction of projects.
Mortenson operates in a spirit of true “partnering” to
achieve our customer’s goals, and will provide proactive
design phase and construction leadership for the entire
project team. The Mortenson team is proven and highly
skilled. We will execute our partnering-based
management philosophy into successful results that will
meet and exceed the expectations of the City of Fort
Collins for excellence in safety, quality, and schedule.
To successfully maneuver through the conceptual
planning and design phases of Old Town Square,
Mortenson proposes using an integrated design
management approach as follows.
Kick Off
In a post award kick off meetings, Mortenson will look to
understand the City of Fort Collins’ needs for space,
function, and feel while considering project constraints
such as budget, time, site, and code requirements.
Partnering Session for the Owner,
Architect, and Contractor is a critical
first step. The session allows us to
gain a clear understanding of your
goals early on: how you like to
receive information, when you want
reports, and what you want
included. We will adapt our tools to
meet your goals.
Building what’s next.
9. PARTNERING EXPERIENCE
27
Partnering
Following the kick off meeting, Mortenson recommends a
partnering event where the collective team will create
Project Specific Success Factors. The team will also identify
major construction stumbling blocks; team concerns over
budget, schedule, quality and safety issues; long lead
material procurement concerns, and delivery strategies.
Critical issues will be prioritized by probability, potential
project impact, cost and assigned to the team member
best equipped to attack the issue.
In our 20+ years experience managing projects through
the process, this collaborative management approach has
proven to be highly effective in focusing the entire project
team on achieving common goals, resulting in faster
project delivery, higher quality, reduced costs and greater
satisfaction. We have found no better way to create a
structure that supports the maintenance of a shared
project vision.
Examples of Partnering in Action include Mortenson’s
efforts at Woodward Lincoln Campus Phase 1 and
Stapleton Redevelopment. Mortenson team members
Tony Perdue and Joe Shinagle participated in formal
and informal Partnering Sessions on both projects. These
sessions played an important role in developing trust
among members of the project team and breaking down
barriers to effective team communication.
Sessions at Woodward included key team members from
Mortenson, our design partners, and key subcontractors.
These sessions included specific discussions on how the
team was communicating and targeted specific issues for
resolution. It provided an open forum to openly
communicate and address concerns. The informal
sessions were held in conjunction with the formal
sessions and provided team members the opportunity to
get to know each other outside the context of the project,
which further developed relationships that lead to the
success of the project.
The experiences at Stapleton were similar in who was
included, however, the first formal session was facilitated
by a third party and subsequent sessions were developed
by the Project Core Team Members from Mortenson, the
Design Team and the Owner Team. Due to the size and
complexity of the project, these sessions were valuable in
breaking down communication barriers and developing
key relationships to allow team members access to the
people they needed to be communicating with in real
time.

and Recordable Incident Rate (RIR) are well below
the industry average.
Our obligation: Send each and every worker
home safely to their family at the end of the day.
Safety Philosophy
Mortenson’s Zero Injury Program is the backbone of our safety
philosophy. Our approach is based on the expectation that
we can and will eliminate all hazardous conditions, near misses,
and injuries from occurring on our work sites through the
implementation of behavior obligations of all team members
(craftsworkers, trade partners, and management). We are
accomplishing this through an emphasis on:
• placing safety and quality above productivity
• placing planning and re-planning in front of action and
reaction
• placing hazard recognition and correction ahead of
complacency and habit
OSHA
Torgeson Electric, a subcontractor, accepted an “Other
Than Serious” citation for an impalement danger violation,
and paid a $4500 fine while working at Fort Carson.
Mortenson has not had any OSHA citations in the last 5
years.

Self-Perform Work
Our self-performed capability enhances our ability to
control the pace of the project and deliver the highest
possible quality. Mortenson’s craftspeople are known for
their adaptability, exceptionally high quality of
workmanship, and attention to detail.
Today, Mortenson employs one of the largest skilled
workforces of any local contractor, currently over 430
workers on the Front Range, giving us the ability to
support any project we are working on as needed.
Part of our commitment to exceeding customer
expectations on a project is meeting the agreed upon
project deadlines. As such, a majority of our projects have
critical and comparatively aggressive schedules. Most of
these projects require some aspect of phasing, especially
when it comes to project sitework. The strong
performance of our subcontracting teams on past
projects with tight timelines allows us to feel confident
that we can successfully complete the Old Town Square
Renovation within the timeframe set forth.
Below is a list of our trade partners who have performed
at a high level on projects with demanding schedules:
*Thoutt Concrete:
• NREL,
• Arapahoe County,
• RMLEI, Stapleton,
• Commerce City Justice Center
*Colorado Hardscapes:
• Center Plaza of the Metropolitan University Hotel and
Learning Center
• 1800 Larimer
• JW Marriot and Cherry Creek Buildings
Plaza Construction Incorporated
• Byron Rodgers (Major Plaza Reconstruction in very
tight timeframe)
*Concrete Frames Associates (CFA)
• CU Boulder
• Saint Joseph Hospital
*Stresscon
• Ft. Carson – over twenty
precast concrete building
structures
*Berg Electric
• Charles Schwab,
• Byron Rogers
*10 year plus working relationship
We will involve key subcontractors
early in the preconstruction process
to assist the team in developing the
best plan to minimize disruptions and
ensure the work is completed in a
safe, high quality manner.

Proactive Subcontractor Management
Mortenson takes pride in the strength of our
relationship with our subcontractors. Furthermore, we
celebrate their continued success and work with them
to achieve new heights. Mortenson has implemented
the Star Awards Program where we reward our
subcontracting partners for the many things that they
do right. Award categories include Safety, Quality,
Teamwork, Innovation, Small Business Partner, Quiet

Mortenson will prepare its detailed estimate of the project with in-house estimating staff, in support of Joe
Shinagle. The estimate will include detailed take-off of the materials and application of production labor,
general conditions labor, and field support labor (such as for pedestrian control). When the estimate is con-
verted to the GMP, the contingency will be outside of the GMP. All allowances will be described in detail for
reconciliation during the construction.
We have extensive knowledge of labor costs for the various trades, and can estimate the cost of the work
based on self- performed or subcontracted scopes.

project. On each Mortenson project where partnership is
implemented, a "facilitated partnering session" takes place.
During this session, stakeholders are able to identify any
hurdles that may arise on the project, as well as possible
solutions to the hurdles. The outcome of the facilitated
session is the creation of Partnering Success Factors.
Partnering Success Factors is a list of agreed upon objectives
that serve as a constant point of reference for the high-level
tasks needed to make a project successful. Below is a list of
projects where partnering was implemented and the
variation of the Partnering Success Factors that accompanied.

Results
Implementation of the above processes produces the
following key results:
• Efficiency and optimization of both schedule and
cost
• Well informed stakeholders regarding schedule
plan and status
• Confidence in risk reduction
• The highest level of schedule certainty possible
On multiple recent projects, we have achieved early
completions of 2-5 months when our team led the
planning efforts utilizing these processes.
with a plan view of the plaza, shaded to show the various
phases with milestone dates boldly stated for each phase.
This is the best format to clearly communicate the
schedule to the City, the neighboring business, the public
at large, and our trade subcontractors. Within each phase,
a construction schedule in traditional bar chart and
tabular format is appropriate.
