built over the years, we must adhere to our clients’ budget

Quality Assurance
As an integral part of the construction team, our job is
to make sure all team members know and perform their
expected tasks. This is accomplished by proactively directing
communication and workflow so that every team member
has the opportunity to perform their duties correctly and
efficiently. The communication protocol established at the
beginning, and accountability amongst the team is mutually
agreed upon. In a collaborative meeting, team members
review the drawings and specifications to establish a thorough
understanding of the project goals. Everyone on the team
agrees to the schedule and commits to meeting the project
deadlines. SIM-PBK and the team of consultants understand
the importance of being accessible and willing to help solve
job site dilemmas. Ultimately, this team approach to building
means more success to the District and the Community.

CHANGE ORDER DATA
Change Order Control
SIM-PBK takes the approach to proposed change orders very seriously. One of our primary responsibilities will be to deliver
a project that adheres to Sierra Unified School Districts budget. The best way to diminish change orders is with quality
construction documents. However, contractor and owner-initiated proposed changes are a natural part of the construction
process. When proposed change requests are presented by the owner or the contractor, we make it our responsibility to review
the proposed change in conjunction with the approved project scope, budget and schedule. It is critical that the team weigh
the importance of the proposed change along with any available contingency dollars in order to properly weigh the benefit to
the project. SIM-PBK commonly employs a contingency allowance in order to provide cushion for unforeseen circumstances
that might affect final cost. This allowance is reserved strictly for unforeseen items that are absolutely necessary to fulfill all
project requirements.
Upon receipt of a change request, the SIM-PBK team will discuss the time frame with Sierra USD prior to processing a change
order proposal. It will be necessary for the entire team to heavily scrutinize any proposed changes that are issued beyond the
optimum time frame given the obvious potential negative impacts to the project budget and schedule. The team will make a
definitive decision and approve a delayed change order only if the project contingency and schedule can accommodate the
proposal.

These values require that SIM-PBK staff continuously demonstrate the most responsive service to any client request or problem — we never settle for simply satisfying a client in our solutions to design and construction challenges but constantly seek to exceed expectations every time. We regularly seek feedback from our clients to ensure that this is occurring at all levels of the firm. We know our success is determined exclusively by our clients, and it's because of this that we aim to consistently meet their expectations. Every aspect of our firm, from selection of personnel to design methods and construction services, has been strategically planned to respond to the specific needs of our educational clients. Our team operates on a die-hard “can-do” business philosophy that emphasizes SIM-PBK’s strongest cultural characteristic: to go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that our clients receive the best possible service in the industry. LOCAL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION SIM-PBK/LEAF Engineers are local to the County of Fresno. SIM-PBK maintains a business license in the City of Fresno and LEAF Engineers in the City of Clovis. We are rooted in the Central Valley and use local consultants and businesses as much as possible. LITIGATION SIM-PBK has not been terminated for default, litigation settled, or judgments entered within the last five years or had any criminal convictions for false claims within the last five years.
