Construction Management Services

Public Works Project Management

Project management for cities, counties, utilities, and special districts from initial scope and funding coordination through design, bidding, construction, and closeout.

Service overview

What this service involves

Calicore supports public projects through scope development, consultant procurement, grant and funding coordination, design management, bid support, construction administration, and closeout.

The service can cover one defined capital project or added project-management capacity across several small-to-mid-sized assignments. The agency’s procurement rules, funding conditions, approval authority, and reporting requirements are established at the start.

Step by step

How the process works

The exact scope is matched to the project, but a typical assignment follows these steps.

  1. 01

    Define the public project

    We review the agency need, asset history, funding terms, approvals, procurement requirements, budget, schedule, and staff responsibilities.

  2. 02

    Develop and procure the scope

    The project definition, consultant services, internal reviews, funding documentation, and decision schedule are organized.

  3. 03

    Manage design, bid, and award

    Design reviews, permits, estimates, bid documents, questions, addenda, evaluation, and agency actions are coordinated within the assigned role.

  4. 04

    Manage construction and closeout

    Contract records, changes, payments, schedule, inspection, testing, funding documentation, acceptance, and final files are tracked.
