RFQ No. 19-11-01 Professional Engineering and Architectural Services for Pedestrian Bridge with Park Elements Across A1A at 174th St. - CCNA. City of Sunny Isles Beach |8 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH OBJECTIVE To collaborate with the City of Sunny Isles Beach (The City) and the public to design a signature pedestrian bridge with park elements across A1A at 174th St. in the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida that provides connectivity, shading, and security, and functions as an integral component of the urban city environment and community. The new Park Bridge will redefine both the City’s horizon and its identity. Aesthetics will play a crucial role in the future of the area and the design of the bridge. Our team will work closely with the local community to develop a design that is both beautiful and efficient. The bridge will complement the local architecture with a unique and distinctive design. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The FINLEY Team’s understanding of this project has been well-informed by the Pre-Proposal Conference, meeting with the City and a successful site visit. We have learned from our communication with The City that the following factors are a significant priority: 1. Experience with FDOT bridge projects and procurement 2. Impact on the local traffic and MOT (Maintenance Of Traffic) during construction 3. Cost and Schedule The FINLEY team will address these concerns in the following manner: 1. FINLEY has assembled a Proven Team of Specialists with extensive bridge experience with FDOT in Miami. Further proving the recent and relevant experience of our Team, FINLEY and our key sub-consultants are currently finalizing one of the most complicated interchanges in Miami: the US27/SR/Okeechobee Rd and SR826/Palmetto Expressway Interchange in Miami, Florida, for the FDOT District 6. Our team can provide the City with firsthand knowledge and experience in working with FDOT’s various design offices and procedures, strengthening communication and saving time and money as our team already has a well-established relationship with FDOT staff. 2. FINLEY has selected the trapezoidal steel box girder design as the most efficient and viable solution, ultimately minimizing impact on the MOT and avoiding full traffic closure of A1A during construction. 3. FINLEY will bring to this project our extensive construction experience, as well as one of the most recognized and experienced professionals from the Florida transportation construction business, Enrique I. Espino, PE, who will work with the project team starting on the first day developing a realistic Cost Estimation and Schedule. Enrique will bring his extensive knowledge of construction and estimating in Miami and the South Florida market. Process for Accomplishing the Project Objective – Based on FINLEY’s Team experience and familiarity with the City/FDOT’s review process, the project will kick-off with a workshop where key members of the FINLEY Team will meet with the City and Stakeholders to review the Project Management Plan and Quality Assurance procedures. A Quality Assurance Manual will provide the basic requirements of the program with supporting Quality Assurance Procedures that provide step-by-step instruction for implementing the requirements. THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN The plan will include the following components: • General project description • Contact information • Goals and objectives • Scope of services • Schedule, including milestones and resource allocations • Quality definition including quality assurance (QA) roles of senior people throughout the project • Budget and Schedule • Team organization and responsibilities • Contingency plan/change management plan • Project records • Codes and standards D
