REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 20-07-01 <br />CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TAB D: PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING <br /> <br />Any potential changes to the budget or schedule will be discussed with the City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />representative prior to making changes, if any are made at all. Where certain aspects of the project <br />may contain costs, which are difficult to define, Craven Thompson is experienced in identifying <br />alternatives for costs savings in the event that the project begins to exceed the City’s budget. Craven <br />Thompson will supply recommendations; however; the ultimate decision will remain up to the City. <br />Comments from agencies having jurisdiction will be forwarded to the City prior to being addressed by <br />Craven Thompson. In addition, our team will provide the City with the work product for review at <br />appropriate intervals or whenever requested by the City. Face-to-face review meetings will occur <br />once the City has compiled all comments. <br />Upon being notified by the City of Sunny Isles Beach of a potential project, Mr. Gibney will meet with <br />City representatives to discuss the scope, budget and schedule. Craven Thompson will then prepare <br />a proposal for the specific project. Once the Work Authorization has been signed, implementation <br />will be initiated by Mr. Gibney (or the Surveying & Mapping Project Manager). He will assemble the <br />internal team dependent upon the specific scope in the Work Authorization. He will then initiate an <br />initial internal meeting to define the scope and budget and assign specific tasks and schedules to <br />each team member. Mr. Gibney will share his ideas as to how to approach the tasks and define the <br />deliverables to the City. At this point, the Craven Thompson Team will present their intended <br />program to meet the goals, objectives, timelines and budget defined under the Work Authorization. <br />Craven Thompson will ensure continuity by keeping the same personnel on the project that were <br />originally assigned. We will define a clear and concise project scope with a firm budget; assigned <br />and well-defined project duties for each team member. Craven Thompson has a clear and concise <br />cost control strategy with project tested implementation strategies, with a highly motivated and <br />enthusiastic project team. As long as we adhere to our strategy, the project will progress on <br />schedule and within budget. <br />Mr. Gibney will remain the point of contact for <br />all projects under this solicitation, but will utilize <br />different staff (based on project type) to <br />perform the work necessary to maintain the <br />schedule. All Sunny Isles Beach projects will be <br />of the highest priority and will be handled <br />professionally to achieve the desired outcome. <br />We will pay special attention to meeting the <br />City’s time and budget requirements. Another <br />discipline’s Project Manager or lead <br />professional will be assigned to each task and <br />will answer directly to Mr. Gibney. Project <br />engineers, surveyors, G.I.S. specialists, and <br />designers will answer directly to the lead <br />professional assigned to the task. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />D | Page 3
