We will also work with the City and construction manager to resolve materials testing and inspections issues/ conflicts as they arise and to develop alternative recommendations when necessary. Project Communication and Test Reporting. Effective, project communication is critical to ensure that the contractor and City construction management team receive inspection reports and test results in a timely manner. Daily inspection reports are typewritten and forwarded to the County inspector and other designated recipients upon completion. Laboratory test results are reviewed and stamped by a licensed engineer and immediately forwarded to the County. Project Management and Controls. IFE has an established track record of completing construction testing and inspection projects on time and within budget. We use QuickBooks accounting software, coupled with Excel spreadsheet -based budget/schedule tracking tools, to monitor the budget and schedule of all projects. Project manager meetings are held weekly, more often if necessary, to load -level staff Proposal for City of La Quinta ��V W 8 of 24 On -Call Materials Testing Services (AMORVIA E and equipment requirements among multiple projects.
