Scope Of Work
Project Overview: MFS provided Construction Management consulting services to the County of Morris to aid in the management of Interior and Exterior Alterations to an existing county building to house the County’s Head Start Program. The Head Start Community Program of Morris County partners with families to provide comprehensive support for child development and school readiness as a federally funded child development program. This program currently provides services to pregnant women and 237 children from birth to 5 years.
Project Details: The County utilized MFS for professional management services during the pre-construction, construction, and close out phases. MFS was responsible for handling all contract administration, cost management, risk and claims, and providing inspection and reports of work in progress. During the pre-construction and construction phases of each project, MFS was responsible for all project management and contract administration activities. MFS provided full time, onsite certified personnel to perform functions such as record keeping, schedule monitoring, document control, financial management, claim & dispute management, construction inspections, safety monitoring and closeout/ commissioning. MFS frequently administered coordination meetings with the County, A&E firm, and contractors to ensure timely progression of the project.
MFS staff additionally coordinated with the County and the project’s A&E firm to complete a close-out program that documented the completion of project punch-list. MFS advised the County of Morris on a variety of issues related to the project’s completion, ensuring stakeholders were aware of the necessary procedures to closeout contracts, obtain permits, and occupy newly built spaces. MFS managed all project documents and correspondence via web-based document control system with all documents being turned over to the client upon project completion.
