PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDINGD. <br />CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (ARCHITECTURE) <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ 20-07-01| PAGE 10 <br />the City of Sunny Isles Beach. We understand the unique <br />needs of these different and diverse types of projects and <br />have the experience to respond. <br />From planned capital improvements, modernization <br />projects, to reroofs, ADA upgrades, problem solving, leak <br />solving problems, etc. to remediation and repair after <br />storms, you need a firm with the capability to respond. <br />We are familiar and experienced in designing facilities <br />that meet and exceed FEMA standards and the Florida <br />Building Code. Our work includes many essential service <br />facilities – from the new City of Weston EOC, multiple <br />fire stations, government buildings such as the recently <br />completed Broward Addiction Recovery Center (BARC), <br />to our extensive hospital work including a data center for <br />Memorial Healthcare System's five hospitals. <br />D. Method of Approach <br />1. Overall Project Approach <br />Our Team’s overall approach, rooted heavily <br />in collaboration and interaction, recognizes that <br />we must bring technical and economical points <br />of view to the planning and design process. Our <br />goal is to achieve cost savings and maintain <br />levels of service and institutional integrity by optimizing the <br />relationships among people, processes, and place. Our <br />time-tested approach adds value through: <br />Objectivity – a system of asking the right questions, listening, <br />and documenting your answers <br /> »Review, refine, and test facility improvement ideas <br />and present new ideas and options for consideration <br />without preconceived solutions <br />Collaboration – building consensus through the involvement <br />of key stakeholders <br /> »Separate wants from needs objectively, and achieve <br />consensus and buy-in for the agreed upon course of <br />action <br /> »Identify all cost elements and drivers as well as cost <br />avoidance opportunities through integrated cost <br />modeling from the outset of activities <br />Analysis – a macro-level process that breaks the problem <br />into its parts <br /> »Ensure that the City of Sunny Isles Beach gets the best <br />solution for the right price <br />Given an unlimited budget and timetable, it's easy to <br />generate a spectacular solution - but it is a challenge <br />and opportunity to create a successful solution from a <br />cost-sensitive point of view. Working with all project <br />stakeholders to achieve more from less is where the <br />creativity and talent of our team and approach will <br />distinguish itself. <br />2. Specific Project Approach <br />A. Programming <br />Programming will be the first phase in the design of your <br />projects. It is the architect’s first task and often the most <br />important. The process is a simple and comprehensive <br />organized method of inquiry and interaction. With <br />the information gathered, we will develop elementary <br />drawings and relationship diagrams indicating design <br />considerations in relation to circulation and utilities, <br />single line design plans, and cost and area analysis in <br />relationship to program and budget. <br />COMMUNITY CHARRETTE TO “REIMAGINE THE RIVERWALK CENTER” <br />FAU SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE - FORT LAUDERDALE <br />Process <br />People <br />PROJECT <br />Place
