III. Construction Phase Coordination Plan
Turner will consolidate the models in Navisworks and run batches of clashes between trades. A report
will be generated which summarizes the conflicts. The clashes will be reviewed in coordination
meetings. Trades will resolve the clashes and post updated models to the designated
repository/collaborations site. Turner will re-run a clash check to confirm previously identified clashes
have been resolved and will update the clash reports with any new clashes as a result of model and
design updates.
Once the clashes have been resolved, coordinated drawings will be produced/updated reflecting the
resolutions from the coordination meetings and the subsequent model changes agreed upon. The
construction documents will reflect the clash resolutions of the coordination cycles and will be
incorporated into the installation/shop drawings.

point is critical and ensures that each model will align properly for the master aggregate Model without
modification.
Origin Point: N 154’ – 4 61/64”
E 218’ – 7 37/256”
Elevation: 112’ 0”
Angle to true North 270.672*
This will be the Corner of H1 and HE
Tolerances: Model(s) and Model Elements must be within 1/8” of theoretical dimensions. Tolerances for
specific items and systems will be determined as necessary. Model tolerances are not to be construed as
construction tolerances.
Units: Imperial units. One (1) unit in the model equals 0’-1”
Scale: BIM/3D Models need to be in the correct scale and units. One unit (in the model) equals one inch.
Best Practices: Contributors to the model(s) shall follow to the best of their ability the best practices
listed in the "Autodesk Revit Platform 2014 Technical Note Model Performance". Geometry from CAD
applications such as AutoCAD, IFC or MicroStation shall not be imported or linked into the model. Image
files shall not be imported or linked into the model to represent geometry. Revit Warnings should be
kept to a minimum and model geometry called out in the Model Requirements section of this document
shall not be associated with any Warnings.
Coordination Zones: The Design Model has to reflect the coordination process and often has to be split
up by zones. Coordination zones will be determined during the kick-off meeting with input from the
project team. These zones will follow the construction schedule.
Page 6 of 9
BIM Kickoff Meeting
At the beginning of the project, Contractor will hold a BIM introduction or "kickoff" meeting to establish
the BIM program(s), procedures, organization and setups for all members of the Design Team. Topics to
be covered are:
• Project Information
o BIM Execution Plan
o Coordination Schedule and Critical Path Deadlines
o Version & Build of Revit to be used on the project
o Identify Software tools to be used on the project
o General Requirements / Deliverables
• Spatial Coordination
o Model Divisions and Sharing
o Building Areas of Responsibility (Shared Models)
o Team Responsibility (BIM Points of Contact)
o File Divisions / Organization
• Best Practices / Guidelines
o Anticipated Model Uses
o Procedure for Updates, Coordination and Communication
o Best Practices
All subcontractors and trade partners: All subcontractors and trade consultants will provide a model in
an acceptable format to Contractor within 48 hours upon request. Models will be used to aid
coordination with the entire team. Models will be uploaded to the FTP site.
Acceptable Formats: *.DWG, *.NWC, *.NWD
3D updated backgrounds will be posted to FTP site at interval indicated in the coordination schedule.
MEP consultants and Trade Contractors are to inform Contractor of any libraries, object enablers,
software plug-ins, 3D viewers, etc. required for Contractor to view their 3D content. The required plug-
ins will be downloaded, and posted to FTP site for use of entire project team. Below is a few of the
common software plug-ins Contractor uses to view MEP 3D models

o For those who are using the Autodesk products, we request that you do not change the
name of the original file throughout the model progression. If the authoring file changes
names then all clash history gets lost once it is brought into Navisworks.
Collaboration Details
Repository Site
ViCon Server: The project will be using a server that enables collaborators to upload their specific model.
The server will restrict the file naming (see file naming convention). User accounts will be set up for all
collaborators.

EXHIBIT J
Client – McWhinney/Great Wolf Turner Construction Company
Project – Great Wolf Lodge – Garden Grove Date: 10/16/2013
The Great Wolf Lodge – Garden Grove Project shall utilize 3D Modeling for the coordination
of building elements and systems. Review the Project Plans and Specifications in conjunction
with this document for additional project specific information and scope related to
Coordination, BIM, and associated deliverables.
4- The digital format of such BIM submissions shall be as described herein (specifying the
necessary digital formats, software requirements, etc.), which will be provided to
subcontractor after execution of Agreement and prior to the start of coordination.
5- Subcontractor shall participate in such BIM coordination and review meetings as Turner
may require and agrees that, as a result of the information exchanged at such meetings,
both the digital submission and the Work depicted in the Subcontractor’s digital
submission may be required to be changed by Subcontractor to achieve coordination with
other elements of the Project being provided by others. Such changes shall be
accomplished at no increase in the Price or Time of Completion. Subcontractor
acknowledges that such meetings will require attendance of personnel that are familiar
with both the data entry aspects of the BIM as well as an understanding of the Work to be
performed and its relation to other elements of the Project, and subcontractor therefore
agrees that personnel conversant in both shall be on site during the coordination phase
and attend all such meetings.
6- Subcontractor agrees that neither the BIM nor the use of the BIM is in lieu of nor intended
to relieve the Subcontractor of its responsibilities under the Subcontract, including to (i)
coordinate its Work with the work of others involved in the Project and (ii) strictly comply
with the other requirements of the Subcontract Agreement and the Contract Documents.
It is expressly understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the requirement for submittals
in connection with the BIM, traditional shop drawings and other submissions shall be
required of Subcontractor as required by the Contract Documents and no party shall be

Client – McWhinney/Great Wolf Turner Construction Company
Project – Great Wolf Lodge – Garden Grove Date: 10/16/2013
liable to the other for any claim, dispute, controversy, cost or expense arising solely out of
the use of the BIM.
7- Turner does not waive any of its intellectual property rights and shall have the sole and
exclusive right to use the BIM and all submissions made by Subcontractor as it deems
appropriate, whether during or after construction.
8- Subcontractor agrees that notwithstanding the fact that it may participate in the BIM
process or receive information or materials from others in connection with the Project
through the course of the use or development of the BIM, it shall not take any position that
the receipt of such participation or information has or will, in any respect, operate to waive,
release or otherwise invalidate any of its obligations or responsibilities under the
Subcontract or any intellectual property rights (copyrights, trademarks/logos, patents, etc.)
that may apply to such information or materials.
10- In the event the Subcontractor discovers any error, inconsistency or omission in its
information or submissions, the information or submissions provided by others or any BIM,
it shall promptly report the same to Turner via written notice which shall contain all
relevant specifics.
11- Subcontractor acknowledges that the BIM may require updating throughout the life of the
Project to addresses any changes to the Work so that the BIM at the conclusion of the
Project accurately depicts the Work as actually performed and installed. Subcontractor
agrees to promptly update and provide revised submissions to Turner throughout the
course of the Project so that the BIM at the conclusion of the Project accurately depicts
the Work as actually performed and installed.
12- The foregoing process is in addition to the Subcontractor’s obligations to make the
traditional submissions and shall not relieve or lessen in any way the Subcontractor’s
obligations contained throughout this Agreement and the other Contract Documents,
defined in Article II of this Agreement.

requirements as directed. Cost of each user shall be paid by each Trade and is estimated
at $15.00 for each login/user per month.
b. Tablet PCs – Turner intends to utilize Windows Tablet PCs to access project information
in the field. Each subcontractor is expected to take advantage of the online project
document system to access the most current information and implement processes in the
field.
c. Please see the following list for some examples.
i. Real time QA/QC processes
ii. Field Equipment and Material verification and audits
iii. Daily reporting
iv. RFI tracking
v. Communication
vi. As-Builts
vii. Safety
viii. Punch lists
ix. Work to complete lists
x. Non-compliant work
d. Prefabrication – Turner intends on using the BIM process to realize prefabrication
potential with the goal to expedite installations and improve schedule performance.
Subcontractors are expected to collaborate and identify elements and systems that can be
prefabricated.
e. Turner will utilize 3D Scheduling based on Lean Construction Principals to plan, monitor
and collaborate on this project. All trades are required to participate.
i. Last Planner System (Pull Planning) and Flow line Scheduling Turner will
implement the Last Planner System (Pull Planning) from key milestone phase to
phase to create a “production plan” to execute design, shop drawing / submittals,
procure and construction, commission, move-in. This production plan is put in
Control and only the milestones in common with the baseline schedule are
manually compared for ahead or behind of the various baseline milestone dates.
ii. Overview of Lean Production Schedule and Monitoring Process
It’s commonly acknowledged that reducing the variation in starts and stops of the
parade of trades and leveling capacity across trade specialists’ handoffs reduces
waste and improving smooth flow. Flow line scheduling helps visualize the flow of
construction by adding location information to the schedule. The INITIAL Flow line
Schedule is built from the traditional Gantt chart schedule and it is also based on
CPM principals. However by adding the location to the schedule, and using
collaborative pull planning for initial parade of trades, the visualization of crew
capacity and flow becomes more transparent and easier to communicate. It also
becomes the basis for continual improvement as the crews identify incremental
improvements and innovations. The suggested workflow includes the following
steps:
1) Create Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) starting with the Turner standard
template for this building system / assembly.
2) Import WBS activity list from the Turner conceptual Critical Path Method
Milestone schedule.
3) Add high-level quantities; define conceptual production rate and minimum
crew size
4) Optimize flow for locations and hold this information in Turner Team ONLY

6) If a subcontractor is not meeting their required production rate, the team will
evaluate the need for additional resources. Subcontractor needs to commit
to actions to restore required production rate if the production rate is low
due to reasons within their influence (for example, too few resources, low
skill level, material logistics etc.). Actions can include: increasing crew size,
working overtime, improving productivity by changing work methods
7) Billings might also be evaluated on a location basis. Subcontractors should
try to completely finish one location before moving on to another, where
possible. Billings should reflect the actual quantities in place evaluated
using the 3D model when available. If locations cannot be fully completed
because of reasons outside of subcontractors influence, partial billing is
allowed but a location-based punch list should be created for the remainder.
8) Subcontractors should create a list of all prerequisites they need in order to
be able to complete a task in a location (e.g. design, materials, prerequisite
work, clean workspace)
9) Upcoming resource requirements are discussed weekly in subcontractor
meetings (required manpower and production rates in the next 4-6 weeks)
vi. Change orders:
1) For each CO a labor estimate (in man-hours) and production rate is
required
2. Turner will provide 3-Dimensional Architectural and Structural Models based on the
design for use as backgrounds for coordination. Models will only include basic
architectural features, such as the floors, a rough approximation of ceilings chases, door
openings, partitions exterior wall surfaces, window openings, roofs, elevator shafts, and
stairs, and basic Structural features such as slabs and walls, steel framing – columns,
beams, and major structural elements. Each Trade is ultimately responsible for
coordinating to all information contained in the 2-Dimensional Contract Drawings and
Specifications as related to their work. The model(s) Turner will provide are used as
diagrammatic representation only and is not to be relied upon for their accuracy nor as a
reflection of the design, design intent, or representation of existing conditions. The trade
subcontractor is not required nor encouraged to wait for the distribution of 3D background
models by Turner to begin their engineering and drafting efforts. Each subcontractor shall
proceed with the most haste using the 2D contract documents to begin their engineering,
drafting, and modeling in order to meet the project schedule.

18. Once the Architectural/Structural models are posted on the decided BIM
Server/collaboration site, each trade is required to down load and use these files to create
their system models by sequence or geographic area dictated by Turner’s
representatives. The process is to create and upload system models to the BIM Server as
frequently as required by Turner for other trades to use while modeling their systems.
Turner’s BIM coordination process in many respects follows a traditional sequence of
drawing / modeling those systems with the most constraints on their routing and then
following with those trades that have more flexibility in their placement. Coordination will
be expected to start as soon as contracts are awarded and follow the typical sequence:
20. Each Modeling Trade shall actively participate and coordinate with all other building
systems. Each Trade is required to actively and continuously run clash detection analysis
using Navisworks Manage for their respective trade system against the
Page 9 of 19
Template 05/14/09
Client – McWhinney/Great Wolf Turner Construction Company
Project – Great Wolf Lodge – Garden Grove Date: 10/16/2013
Architectural/Structural design models and all other building systems Trade models to
ensure that there are no conflicts between the architectural/structural elements and their
system(s) and other Trades prior to posting to the BIM server.
21. Each Trade is required to maintain the latest models and post to the Turner BIM Server
up-dated drawings/models as required to support the project schedules and as directed by
Turner. Postings are also required prior to the clash detection analysis run by the BIM
Coordinator / Gatekeeper (iterations and days and times to be determined). This will
continue until each area is completely coordinated.
22. In addition to each Trades coordination and clash detection process, clash reports will be
run for MEP systems in conflict with other trades and systems. A clash analysis report will
be generated by the BIM Coordinator / Gatekeeper. The Coordinator / Gatekeeper will
create a Navisworks .NWD file showing the clash viewpoints. This Clash report &
Navisworks .NWD file will be posted to the BIM Server by the Coordinator / Gatekeeper
and a corresponding notice sent by the Coordinator / Gatekeeper to all parties involved
that the report is ready. Alternatively, Turner may elect to have the HVAC Subcontractor
take the LEAD role as the “BIM Gatekeeper” and run the clash detection analysis as
frequently as required for all systems modeled. Coordination, clash identification, and
resolution are the responsibility of each Trade and this clash process does not relieve
Trades from performing clash tests and coordination. This process is a supplement to
track progress and validate Trade coordination.
23. Each Trade is required to review and respond to the clash detection report generated by
the BIM Coordinator / Gatekeeper before the weekly meeting, and arrive at the meeting
prepared to address the unresolved clashes in a constructive manner.
24. Each Trade is required to collaborate with each other trade through email, telephone, and
in person to resolve basic clashes outside of the weekly Coordination meetings. It is
expected that the weekly Coordination meetings are held to address difficult areas that
are not able to be coordinated between the multiple trades themselves. At these
meetings, the resolution will be collectively agreed upon, and a trade will be identified as
having to “move”. This trade will adjust the respective model and repost it to the BIM
Server. All trades are responsible to update and post the changes agreed upon at the
meetings in a timely and expeditious manner to support continuous and efficient
coordination and as directed by Turner.
25. Each Trade is required to submit the number of copies of their respective, coordinated
systems in a -2-Dimensional format as required by their contract, for approval through the
regular submittal process. This is required for each floor and area, as well as each riser.
In addition to the development of 3-Dimensional coordination models, all BIM Participants
are responsible for producing a traditional 2-Dimensional coordination drawing after
cleaning up and resolving all clashes and collisions. When all spatial interferences and
coordination issues have been resolved and a fully coordinated system is achieved, each
Trade shall sign off on the model. Each Trade will then produce fully annotated installation
drawings of their respective systems complete with title blocks appropriate for installation
by their field team and a copy of the fully-coordinated coordination submittal drawings are
to be signed by each participant. The electronic coordination drawing files shall include all
coordinated drawing information, fully dimensioned (especially elevation dimensions),
texts, and tags, etc. In the preparation of the final composite 2-Dimensional coordination
drawings, large scale details as well as cross and longitudinal sections developed at
Coordination Meetings shall be made by the subcontractor as required to fully delineate all
conditions. Upon approval by the Engineer of record, the drawings will become the official

Project – Great Wolf Lodge – Garden Grove Date: 10/16/2013
26. Electronic PDF Submittals shall be organized and clearly legible. Each multiple page
shop drawing electronic submittal shall have bookmarks at logical separations, such as at
each floor level, zone, type, and system change for example. In addition, each drawing
shall be indexed/bookmarked/named by drawing sheet name and number. Small format
product submittals shall also be subject to the requirements above and shall also contain
a Table of Contents with hyperlinks/bookmarks to each section. Submittals that do not
comply with the above minimum requirements will not be reviewed and will be returned to
the author for corrective action
27. Tolerances: Model(s) and Model Elements must be within 1/16” of theoretical
dimensions. Tolerances for specific items and systems will be determined as necessary.
Model tolerances are not to be construed as construction tolerances.
28. The HVAC Contractor is required to compile and plot the number of color copies of the 2-
Dimensional, multi-trade, coordinated drawings required by the contract documents for
approval through the regular submittal process, for each floor. This is required for each
floor as well as each riser.
29. Each Modeling Trade is required to maintain and provide the 3-Dimensional Model with
respect to generating As-Built Drawings/Models. It is the responsibility of each trade to
update their respective 3-Dimensional Model throughout construction to reflect field
conditions to accurately document As-built conditions. As-builts shall be maintained
weekly and issued to Turner at the end of each week the work progresses. In addition
each trade shall maintain installation drawings/models for field use and issue copies to
Turner each time an update occurs.
30. Each Trade is required to submit the number of color copies of their respective, As-Built –
2-Dimensional drawings as required by the contract documents, for approval through the
regular close-out process. . This is required for each floor as well as each riser.
31. Each Modeling Trade is required to submit three copies of CD’s containing the 3-
Dimensional As-Built models, once all issues are addressed from item 19 above. This CD
shall contain As Built models in Autodesk .DWG and .NWD formats as well as including
the original authoring files in the native format of the program that created the models.
Turner reserves the right to request additional file formats as the needs of the client or
project require.
32. Each Trade is required to update and post any changes originating from RFI’s,
Submittal’s and Bulletin’s that have changed their perspective work. Each Trade making
changes shall post onto the BIM Server site and send out a corresponding notice narrative
indicating the changes and reasoning behind the change with-in two weeks from receipt of
changes. In addition, each Trade shall maintain a drawing revision log and Model

revision log in a format as directed by Turner for all revisions that occur post coordination
sign off.
33. Each Trade shall actively participate in identifying and implementing quality control
procedures and processes to verify/validate quality of work on both the model and the
installation of work in the field.
34. Each Trade shall share BIM metrics in collaboration with Turner. Each participant shall
actively participate and support efforts in measuring, identifying, collecting, and formatting
information for BIM metrics to provide to Turner. See the following chart in figure 31A for
an example of some Metrics expected but not limited to for the project.

35. Each Trade is required to draw in a format that a 3 party individual can highlight and
track progress of work thru selecting individual items in each trades model thru
Navisworks.
36. Each Trade is required to attend separate meetings to review accessibility of equipment,
devices, panels, valves, etc. above ceiling with the owner, Architect, Engineer and Turner.
Each Trade is responsible to provide and identify under separate drawing layer Access
doors and Accessibility requirements for above listed items for maintenance purposes.
37. Change Order / Bulletin Process: The process for quantifying and correcting clashes
caused by a design change to a signed off and in-progress area is as follows:
• Trade(s) that have work directly affected by the bulletin documents will take
the lead in drafting the revised 3-Dimensional layout, minimizing the clashes
w/ other trades as much as possible. Revised layouts are to be drawn in an
identifiable layer, labeled to match the respective bulletin.
• Once the work is drafted by the affected trade(s), a clash report is to be
prepared by the BIM Coordinator / Gatekeeper w/ all latest posts.
o While running the clash detection feature in Navisworks, the Coordinator /
Gatekeeper will turn on the ‘links view’ option and all clashes are labeled
while navigating through the model.
o Coordinator / Gatekeeper will audit and report the clashes that are local to
the area affected by the change documents, similar to the analysis of
detected vs. reported clashes in preparation for weekly clash reports.
o This does not relieve Trades from their responsibilities to run clash
detection, coordinate, and identify/resolve issues.
MISCELLANEOUS REQUIREMENTS
A. Coordination is the responsibility of all Trades. Turner will call meetings, as required, which
contractors must attend. Failure to attend will result in work by the absent contractor on
sheets reviewed at meeting being declared improperly coordinated and will require the
contractor to relocate work as shown by Turner, or to field run the work not coordinated. No
extra compensation will be paid to any contractor for relocating any duct, pipe, conduit, or
other material that has been installed without proper coordination between all the contractors
and the trades involved. If any improperly coordinated work, or work installed that is not in
accordance with the approved coordination composites, necessitates additional work by other
contractors, the cost of such additional work shall be assessed to the contractor responsible
as determined by Turner. Errors in coordination will be resolved by the contractor at his own
expense. Where agreements cannot be reached, Turner will furnish a resolution. The
contractor will bear the expense of said resolution.
B. All work on the coordination drawings (including 3D models) shall be performed by competent
draftsmen in a clear legible manner utilizing standard industry conventions. All trade
contractors shall be responsible for providing their coordination drawing files according to the
established coordination schedule. It is the responsibility of each contractor to supply a
sufficient number of draftsmen so as not to delay the BIM 3-Dimensional coordination process
and shop drawing submittals.
C. Coordination drawings are not to be construed as and not to relieve each contractor from their
shop drawing obligations required under the project specifications, and are distinctly separate
from the requirements to provide final “As-Built” drawings.
D. All files supplied by Turner will be as AutoDesk .dwg file format and be readable by other
trades’ CAD system and NavisWorks. Being ‘readable’ means the ability to open a file without
Page 13 of 19
Template 05/14/09
Client – McWhinney/Great Wolf Turner Construction Company
Project – Great Wolf Lodge – Garden Grove Date: 10/16/2013
any errors (such as prox, xref resolution, geometry error, etc) and with objects, layers, and
other file properties remaining intact. In addition all dwg files shall be saved down to the
lowest common version which is 2010 file format.
E. The trade contractors are responsible for providing 3-Dimensional solid or surface models (not
line & wireframe models) that represents the actual dimensions of the trade system elements
and the equipment that will be installed.
F. It is critical that all trade contractors use a mandated file naming convention for their CAD file’s
name to track the version and date by each trade. Turner will provide the detailed file naming
convention to all MEP contractors. An example would be as follows:
“Project_Responsibility_Phase_Trade_Floor_Area_Version_Date” Any files that do not follow
the file naming convention will be deleted and removed from the server at any time without
any notification.
G. All trade subcontractor’s drawing and model files shall be based on an origin point provided by
Turner. The cost of any changes required by the Trade Contractor to their drawings or models
due to the use of an unauthorized origin shall be borne by the trade contractor.
