Owners Representative Services

The government authority in Ventura, California, is seeking an owner's representative to support design review, construction oversight, occupied-site rehabilitation, resident relocation coordination, and project close-out activities. The representative will review construction drawings at each design milestone for accuracy, completeness, consistency, constructability, compliance with the project program, and applicable codes. Responsibilities also include reviewing specifications, evaluating value-engineering proposals and their impacts, assessing consultant or design-build proposals, coordinating among consultants, attending or organizing meetings, and evaluating construction costs and contractor budgets.

During construction, the representative will conduct jobsite observations at the frequency established in the professional services agreement and no less than once per week for each active construction site after work begins. The representative will monitor contractor testing and inspections, assist with issue resolution, attend relevant meetings, attend weekly jobsite meetings, and prepare and distribute meeting minutes before the subsequent meeting.

For occupied-site rehabilitation, the representative will monitor relocation activities involving existing residents and provide the relocation consultant and owner with advance notice of schedule changes affecting resident move dates. During close-out and warranty activities, the representative will monitor delivery of as-built drawings and specifications, product manuals, warranties, maintenance schedules, close-out documents, final affidavits, and required confirmation letters from consultants and design professionals.
