Construction Management
The Construction Management Section (CMS) is responsible for required project monitoring and reporting to effectively manage projects within contract budget and time constraints; ensuring the coordination, preparation and presentation of contract amendments, change orders, work authorizations and final payments; coordination of contract file maintenance for use in contract administration; and institution of programs to train and develop project managers. CMS serves as project manager for the construction phase, approving payments from funds allocated by the user department, and administering the project through substantial and final completion.
Our goal is to effectively and economically manage the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of vertical capital projects and facilities for the City of Fort Myers with the objective of providing quality facilities in a fiscally responsible manner. CMS consists of a group of engineers, construction, and facilities professionals that direct the planning, design and construction process for new and renovated City facilities. Our client base consists of all City departments. Our projects range anywhere from small office renovations to multi-million dollar construction programs.
A typical project begins with a request from a City department to help them expand or renovate their existing facility, or plan for a totally new one. We then begin by working with them to determine facility needs, determine and discuss various solution(s), and then translate the selected solution into a project budget for funding through the Capital Budget process. Once the project is funded, the project manager directs the design process to assure our clients needs are met and the project is within budget, and finally, directs the construction process to achieve high quality construction per the project schedule.
The Section's primary function is to implement the Facilities Program of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The City of Fort Myers has also created and is now implementing a transition plan to comply with the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act.
