Teaming With Prime Firms

Prime A/E firms pursuing municipal, utility, tribal and state work in Michigan need a sealed subconsultant who self-performs the work. Pollex Royal Straits L.L.C. is a single-member, Native American-owned professional engineering firm. Daniel Pollex, P.E. (Michigan P.E., 20+ years since 2005) performs the assigned scope and seals where the deliverable requires it. Self-performed sealed engineering — not pass-through. Pollex does not seal work prepared by others outside his responsible charge.

Sealed scope self-performed

• Civil and site engineering
• Structural engineering and equipment pads
• Sanitary, storm sewer and force main design
• Water main and lead service line design (hydrants and fire service laterals as part of water main design)
• Process and yard piping
• Pump and lift station hydraulics, selection and layout
• Constructability and design review (desk); cost estimating
• Engineering startup support (Startup & Commissioning engineering — process/pumping/piping within competence; not building HVAC/electrical CxA)
• As-built and record drawings
• Engineering during construction is limited to submittal and RFI review, site visits and field engineering for the engineer of record's design. Pollex Royal Straits L.L.C. does not provide inspection services and is not engineer of record for building MEP design.

How engagement works

• Defined scope with a clear deliverable and schedule
• Work in the prime's CAD and document standards
• A resume and capability statement can be returned; teaming terms are set in a written agreement
