JGMC will define the meeting agenda for the Notice To Proceed meeting and discuss the contract guide lines and provide all of the Team members (Architect and its consultants, contractor, subcontractors, inspectors, consultants, the District) how this project is going to be successful. Discuss the District safety standards and requirements of the contractor and its subcontractors, emphasize action by the contractor for a SWPP Plan and submittal and RFI/RFC turn-around process, schedule requirements and inclusion of a schedule of values, weekly meetings, change orders, monthly progress payments, and include the discussions by the inspection team on their requirements.

JGMC is not a big fan of formal team partnering. We believe that you should work with others the way you want people to work with you. As the leader of the project JGMC sets this precedence. JGMC uses the job start meeting for this purpose. We strive to set the table with fairness and prove it every day on the project site. Present at this meeting should be the client, contractor, all or major subcontractors, architect, consultants and the inspection agency so that all parties hear the same thing for the first time. The meeting will emphasize: safety, environmental issues, temporary facilities, project entrances, fencing, public access, quality control, inspections, scheduling, submittals and RFI procedures, contractor payments, schedule review, change orders and community concerns.

Subcontractor Pre-Installation Meetings – Recommended by JGMC to have all team members, including the architect's consultants to meet with the subcontractor's project team members. All concerns that the design team has can be heard by the actual installing subcontractor.

Weekly Project Construction Meetings – Topics for these minutes; safety, schedule, RFI's, submittals, hot issues, pre-installations, change orders, inspections, quality control, agency coordination, community outreach and general discussion.

This will be a compilation of the weekly project meeting minutes, including the weekly summary report high-lighting how the past month has gone and any recommendations by JGMC. JGMC plans on keeping the client abreast of any issues on a daily basis. If an issue arises that cannot be resolved at the project site we will not hesitate to inform the client of the issue and begin to solve the potential problem.
