1.  THE CVM MANUAL FOR CMS

1.1.     Purpose

The CVM (Construction Vegetation Management) Standardization refers to the changes made to align the CVM Processes and establish a standard. The focus of this alignment is to review and redefine processes that are specifically used in Procore during Stage 5-Construction, and Stage 6- Closeout. This user guide will help SDG&E employees with detailed instructions on utilizing Procore while implementing the end-to-end CVM Standardization Process for their projects. Each project type follows a specific process with designated project roles, in this guide, you will learn what the overall Procore process is for a project, with more detailed user guides available to review specific Project submittal processes (e.g., Fuse, Hotline/Clamps).

2.  BEFORE YOU BEGIN      

2.1.    Before beginning, all users must have an account in Procore. If you are a new user an invitation will arrive in email prompting you to set up the password.

2.2.     Please follow the link in the Welcome to Procore email. This will take you to Create a Password page. Please follow the requirements while entering the password and click Set Password.

Note: If Welcome to Procore email is not received, then please check the spam folder. If the email cannot be found, then please reach out to SDG&E Procore Support at ProcoreAdmin@sdge.com to request a new account.

2.3.     After setting up the password, you can access your Portfolio by going to www.procore.com  and clicking on Login located in the upper right corner of the landing page. Projects assigned to you can be found here – if you have not been added to a project, please reach out to the Procore System Administrator for your instance.
Note: It is Procore’s recommendation to use Chrome, however, you can use any Chromium/Modern browser.

2.4.     Enter your email address and Procore password. Check the box Remember Me then hit the Log In orange button. This will take you to the Home Page.
Note: if you are assigned to multiple Instances in Procore, then it asks you to select the Instance after logging in, otherwise it will take you to the Portfolio.

3. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST 

3.1.     Projects will originate and come to the CMS in either one of the following two methods:

3.1.1.   Method 1: Internally from Procore – The Upstream Department uses Procore during the early stages of the Design and Preconstruction and have already created the Project in Procore. In this case the project already exists, and they will simply create a Submittal to officially hand off the Job package to move the project to Construction stage. They will add the CMS and then the CMS will add MLP, SPL, and CM to the Project Directory and Project Home Page. The project arrives via an IFC to CVM Submittal as an email notification from Procore.

3.1.2.   Method 2: Outside of Procore – The Upstream Department does not use Procore, and they will hand off the job package to the CMS either as a softcopy package via email or through SAP.  In this case, as there is no existing project in Procore the CMS will go ahead and create a new project once the package is received.

4. CVM INTAKE PROCESS 

4.1.     The Construction Management Specialist (CMS) position will create new projects in Procore and/or respond to IFC to CVM submittals to start the workflow.

4.2.     If the project is already within Procore, the CMS will Update the project Directory, create the CVM Data - Construction Readiness Correspondence tool, and attach the construction ready job package from the stage five folder.

4.3.    If the project is not within Procore, the CMS will create the Project, create the Project Directory, upload Construction Ready Job Package Documents to the stage five folder, and create the Construction Bid Evaluation Correspondence and CVM Data Correspondence Tool item.

Helpful Tip: Double-click the workflow below to see the complete Project Workflow.

4.4.     Before adding any new projects in Procore, run a quick search to see if the project is already in Procore.

4.5.     From the Home Screen (Portfolio page), in the top left corner, type in any keyword to search, in the search field , and apply any filters that might be required. If the project already exists, then please proceed to the Project Directory section below or else create a new Project by following the instructions in Section

5. CREATING A NEW PROJECT IN PROCORE 

5.1.     To create a new project within Procore, login and navigate to the Procore Home Page for the desired instance (Refer Section 2 to know how to login and select the instance).
5.2.     Click the + Create Project orange button on the top right of the landing page to create a new project.

5.6.   Then click the Continue Project Set Up on the bottom right corner.

Note: Once the SAP integration is active later this year, it is likely that all projects will already be created, and these steps can be skipped. If this is the case – proceed to the steps below.

6. CREATE/UPDATE PROJECT DIRECTORY

Once the project is created, select Continue to Project Set Up and it should take you to the Project Directory. This is where you can add the project team members who will need to access the project. If the project already exists, then these steps can be taken to update any missing personnel.

Note: The Directory is where all the users’ contact information is stored for project team members and vendors. From the Directory, users are invited to individual projects as project collaborators. User access is based on permission level which controls which tools they can access. The following steps will review how to add any CVM users if they are not already in the existing project directory.

6.1.     Some roles that may be required: CMS, FCA, and Construction Contractors once they are awarded the job. 

6.2.     From the Project Tools menu on the top select Directory.

6.3.     Once at the Project Directory, click +Bulk Add from Co. Directory orange button.

6.4.     Click the Select dropdown, type in the Person’s name in the Search option. The name should auto populate, select it from the dropdown. If the name appears in gray instead of black, it means the user is already added to the project.

6.5.     All the users should have a default project template applied at the Company level. Please only choose the template that applies to their role. If assigned template cannot be found or it’s blank, please reach out to the Procore Administrator for instance.

6.6.     Select the relevant Project Role (e.g., CMS, MLP, CM, FCA, etc.). click on the Notify? Box to send an email notification that they have been added to the project. Selecting the role in this step will also add that user to the Project Home Page for that role.

6.7.     After selecting the Project Role, click Add to Project.

7. ADD USERS TO HOME SCREEN 

If the users in question are already added to the Project Directory, it is then important to add these users to the Project Home screen by assigning them a role. This will increase the visibility of those who are working on the job and ensure timely and effective collaboration. This is automatically accomplished in the previous steps for new users when you assign them a Project Role.

7.1.     To edit the Project Team hover anywhere on the table and you should see the Edit option towards the right just above the Mobile column. Click Edit.

7.2.     A new window will open where all the roles in Project Directory Settings can be seen. Add applicable users – CMS and FCA are required; CM, MLP, and SPL are optional; by selecting from the drop downs and hit the back button.

8. UPLOADING DOCUMENTS IN THE DOCUMENTS TOOL 

Once a project is created in Procore, you will now be able to upload all project-related documents into the Documents tool section of the project.

8.1.     Confirm that the Job Package does not contain any Financial Information (DBL and Face sheet) and is Construction Ready before it is uploaded/moved to the Stage 5 – Construction folder.

8.2.     Gather all relevant project documents and prepare to upload them into Procore in Construction Package subfolder under Stage 5 – Construction folder. Files can be transferred from an encrypted USB stick, scanned onto your computer, or save from a softcopy from email or SAP onto your desktop for uploading.

8.3.     From the top menu bar, click the Project Tools dropdown and select Documents tool.

Note: Please do not upload Zip files, use PDFs.

8.4.     If there are multiple Job Notifications or Job Levels (One-to-Many Project Structure) then go to the appropriate level and click Stage 5 – Construction folder, then click the appropriate subfolder. All folder/subfolder structures should carry down from the project template when the project is created. Please follow the structure for that designated program – some will be in a one to one structure and some will be in one to many.

8.5.    Upload to the Stage 5 – Construction folder. Add only Construction Ready Job Package to the Construction Package sub-folder. Click +New then select File Upload. Next, Attach file(s). Alternatively, you can also use drag and drop feature to upload the files.

Note: Ensure that all financial information was already removed/redacted from the DBL and Face sheet when the Job Package was provided to CVM.

9. MANAGING THE PERMISSIONS FOR FOLDERS, SUB-FOLDERS, AND FILES IN THE DOCUMENTS TOOL 

Ensure that the Contractors and others have restricted access to only those folders and files that are allowed to be viewed.

Note: By default, all the folders in each job level except the Stage 5 – Construction folder will be locked. This Stage 5 folder remains accessible to the project team including the Contractors.

Note: The permission levels of the top-tier folder will override the permissions of individual subfolders and files within. For instance, if there is a locked folder with a locked subfolder, granting user access to this subfolder without granting access to the top-tier folder will result in user not being able to access the subfolder. In this case the subfolder is inheriting the permissions of the top-tier folder and as the user does not have permissions to the top-tier folder the subfolder will not be visible or accessible. 

9.1.     To lock any subfolder or give access to a subfolder, select the subfolder, and click the ‘i’ (info) icon next to the Email icon on the top right corner of the page (In the screenshot the Stage 5 Construction folder is expanded and then the Field Change subfolder is selected).

9.2.    You should see a new pane with the General Information section. Click Permissions and check the Make Private box to lock.

9.3.     This will lock the subfolder and the files within the subfolder as indicated with the lock icon in the screenshot below. You should also see the Make Private box checked with a blue check mark. Click Manage Permissions beneath the Make Private option.

Note: The locked/private folders are only visible to members who have access.

9.4.    You will be on the Manage Permissions pop up window. Select the members to who should gain access to the folder. Enter the name in the Search area and select the member from the auto populated results by checking the box before the name.

10. CREATING THE CONSTRUCTION BID EVALUATION CORRESPONDENCE 

The construction bid Evaluation is a CVM specific Correspondence created to keep all information in one place and to limit its visibility to the internal CVM team during the bid event. This is generally created once the job is confirmed to be a Quick Bid.

This new Correspondence will streamline activities under the CMS. These activities include managing the Quick Bid process (separately) and coordinating with the CM for reviewing the RFP documents and getting feedback in the process of awarding the contract to the appropriate Contractor.  

10.1. Navigation to Construction Bid Evaluation - Navigate to Project Tools from the top menu and select Correspondence tool.

10.2.   Click +Create in the orange box on the top right corner and select (Global) – Construction Bid Evaluation.

10.3.     Please fill out the following fields in the General Information section using the below details and click Create & Issue.

•  Status: Keep the default status - ‘Open’.
•  Subject: Enter the Job Package title.
• Assignees: Add the Construction Manager.  
• Received From: Select your name or the requestor’s name if you are creating this form on someone else’s behalf.

• Work Order#: Find in Job Package or SAP
• Due Date: Give 5 business days for Distribution and 7 business days for Transmission.

Note: The overall Construction Bid Evaluation process is essentially aligned for both Distribution and Transmission. However, one of the differences is the lead time given to the Construction Manager to review and provide feedback. Distribution gives 5 business days and Transmission gives 7 business days.

Note: For DPM Franchise work, additionally, you should send email notification to upstream department on the awarded Contractor information. DPM will provide any additional information that will impact the NTP.

10.4.     Create the Bid in Bidding tool by following the Quick Bid process.

Note: Please refer the Quick Bid process in the Training Center in case you are not familiar.

Reference: SDGE Training Center > Electric > Bidding Tool

16. ISSUE THE JOB TO CONTRACTOR THROUGH NOTICE TO PROCEED– CMS

17. CREATING AND CLOSING THE FIELD CHANGE ORDER 

This is a new form (Correspondence type) that represents officially agreed upon field changes from the engineers to the contractors. If there is still a question about a potential change that needs review then that can go through the RFI tool as usual, however, once the change itself has been agreed upon, either in the RFI or in the field, then this form will have to be created for official project record.

FCN will be created by Construction Contractors for Engineers

FCO will be initiated by Engineering Team/Project management/ Construction Management for Construction Contractors

Note: EPICS (used by Transmission) will also fall under the FCO form.

Note: Depending on when the EPIC/FCO occurs during the project lifecycle there will be following variations to the process:

• If an EPIC/FCO occurs during the construction or before giving the Final Construction Redlines (As-Builts) to the Engineering team for review – only an FCO form will be used.
• If an EPIC/FCO occurs post-construction or during the review of Final Construction Redlines (As-Builts) by engineering groups – a new work order needs to be issued, which will in turn result in issuing an NTP and will be considered as a new project scope.
• If an EPIC/FCO occurs during the job walk or RFP process – It is a rev up (from REV0 to REV1) to the IFC package, and not to be issued as an EPIC/FCO.
• It is possible that if an upstream department also uses Procore that they may issue a new NTP directly to the contractor.

17.1.      Click Project Tools from the Project Home page and select Correspondence from the drop-down menu.

17.2.      From the Correspondence page, click the orange +Create button and select (Global) – Field Change Order Form.
