Description of Work Continued:
Project Evaluation and Procurement – 50%
  • The position is responsible for gathering key project information from multiple internal and external sources, including the client, design consultants, FM staff, and other FSU institutional contacts (finance, security, safety, registrar, etc.).
  • On large or technically complex projects, the Project Manager (PM) will engage with design consultants and will be responsible for contacting the consultants and collecting the pertinent information required for the consultants to perform their work. The PM will have key input to the list of contractors invited to bid, assist consultants with addressing questions, and be FSU’s official representative at bid openings and in contract negotiations leading to contract awards.
  • On smaller projects, the PM will be responsible for most of the duties performed by consultants on large projects and the standard PM duties. This includes preparing project documents, organizing and administering the project bidding and award process, and shepherding the contracts through the FSU procurement channels.

  • Coordinating the work to minimize disruptions to campus activities and notifying the campus community of impacts and outages required to complete the project.
  • Monitoring the progress of the work to ensure that the work is occurring on schedule and is being installed and executed as specified in the contract documents.
  • Convening and facilitating periodic project review meetings as required.
  • Responding to contractor and designer questions driven by the discovery of unforeseen field conditions or changes requested post-award by FSU.
  • Project budget management, including the review of pay applications and invoices and the management of project contingency.
  • Complete project closeout, including collection and review of operations & maintenance manuals, as-built drawings, coordination of “owner training” where required, and organizing warranty information. Perform other duties as assigned.

Administrative – 20%
