4Recommendation Letters
Cornerstone’s ongoing success is, to a great extent, due to the encouragement and support of our clients. Several of our clients have provided us with recommendation letters documenting their appreciation for the services we have provided to them and recommending Cornerstone to others such as Cape May County. Several of these recommendation letters are included in Appendix D.
project team
Cornerstone has assembled a fully-qualified project team to support this project and our key members have significant experience at solid waste facilities. Project staffing is shown on the Project Organization Chart included in Appendix B. A summary of staff qualifications and project responsibilities are shown below and staff resumes for identified team members are also included in Appendix B. Cornerstone’s approach to the management of this project will provide CMCMUA not only with a key contact person who will be responsible for managing, monitoring, and coordinating the work, but also experienced personnel who will add support to the project through completion.
5Project Manager Experience
The Cornerstone Project Manager is the overall coordinator of all work being performed on a project, and responsible for ensuring that work being conducted by different disciplines is consistent with the client’s goals and objectives, is scheduled appropriately, and is reviewed for accuracy of technical content. Our Project Manager, Mark Swyka, P.E., who is based in our Middletown, New York Corporate office, and has significant experience working with Cape May on a variety of environmental projects, will be the primary point of contact for the Authority throughout the Phase 2G project.

Mr. Holmes, a registered professional engineer in New York with over 19 years of experience, will serve in the role of Geotechnical Engineer. In this role, Mr. Holmes will be the lead for all geotechnical related issues throughout the duration of the project. Mr. Holmes will be well suited for this role based on his experience in solid waste management, environmental assessments, and geotechnical design. He has experience with site layout, stormwater design, geosynthetic design, environmental permitting, and development of geotechnical reports. As lead project geotechnical engineer, he will apply his experience gained from previous design work including an approximately 35-ft. tall 1H:1V reinforced slope, a fabric stabilized foundation for a large landfill perimeter berm, and an approximately 40-ft. tall reinforced earth segmental block wall, as well as his design experience conducting stability and settlement analyses for heavily loaded, large landfill perimeter berms to the design of the reinforced slope perimeter berm.

6Project Team Organization
7Construction Document Preparation
The team will continue with the preparation of the construction documents. The construction documents will consist of the plans and specifications necessary to bid the project under Wick’s Law.
The plans and corresponding specifications will be generally grouped into the following design areas:
1Site/Civil
This item would include a demolition plan for the removal of the existing building. The design of new construction would include erosion and sediment control, detailed site layout and dimensions, grading, drainage, storm water management, paving, and utility (water and sewer) layout and design.
2Architectural
This item would include the building floor plan, exterior elevations (indicating door openings and exterior wall construction materials), sections, roof plan (indicating wastewater piping and ventilation vents), and details. Enlarged plans and details will be presented as required. We are anticipating that the primary structure will be a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB). The building design and specifications will be included.
3Structural
This item would include the design of the foundation (we are basing the proposal on the use of spread footings for the building foundation), reinforced concrete foundation walls (coordinated with the pre-engineered metal building anchor bolt layout), floor slab (reinforced concrete), and related reinforced concrete structural details necessary to construct the building. Design loads, reactions, and anchor bolt locations from one PEMB vendor will be utilized as the basis of our design and or-equals will certainly be acceptable.
4Miscellaneous Metals
Miscellaneous metals will be detailed and we are anticipating that only pipe bollards and floor drains (coordinated with plumbing design) will need to be detailed.
Construction Plans and Specifications
We anticipate that the construction drawings for the facility will include the drawing disciplines listed below, accompanied by specifications prepared in the 2009 Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format:
Cover Sheet
Construction Notes
Site/Civil
Architectural
Structural
HVAC
Electrical
Electronic Deliverables
Drawings will be provided to the Authority in an electronic format compatible with AutoCAD 2012. In addition, written documents will be prepared using Microsoft Office Word
Meetings
We anticipate that Cornerstone will participate in two design (2) meetings with Authority representatives as part of this phase of the design work. We will discuss the building design, details, and specifications during this final design review process.
