Overview

Client: Chicago Public Schools

Description

This project involves providing a full range of program management services including short and long-term capital planning, budgeting, programming, design management, construction management, and closeout to achieve quality, cost control, and schedule goals for Chicago Public Schools.
This includes four types of capital projects which require overall management:
• Board-Conducted Projects
• PBC-Conducted Projects
• Third-Party Projects on Board Sites
• Third-Party Projects on Independent Sites

Services Provided

d’Escoto, Inc. provides Construction Project Managers and Project Controls professionals that are imbedded in the PMO leadership and field teams that make-up the PMO Capital Program. The team provides project controls services that include the gathering and organizing of data for monthly reporting on schedule, budgets, and progress.

In addition, the PM team provides field construction observation and reporting services for both the PBC and Third-Party Projects. Each ensures that projects are on-time and under budget by attending weekly meetings, performing site visits, and reporting on progress and issues from the field.

d’Escoto, Inc. is also providing program and project close-out activities. Their tasks have greatly reduced CPS’s close-out backlog. Those efforts have freed-up additional resources and dollars that would normally have been unallocated until close-outs have been completed.
