PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDINGD. CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (ARCHITECTURE) City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ 20-07-01| PAGE 11 B. Schematic Design Upon approval of the Programming Phase, we will proceed into the Schematic Design Phase. The goal of this phase will be to create a safe, secure, functional, and aesthetic design that meets the project objectives. Compromises among program requirements, budget and quality, appearance, security, and energy efficiency, along with many other decisions, will be made based upon input from the City. The Schematic Design submittal will include more detailed plans and a review of program requirements, together with a cost analysis and its relationship to the established budget and program. C. Design Development During the Design Development Phase, all of the issues left unresolved at the end of Schematic Design will be flushed out and all engineering systems established. The design itself will achieve the refinement and coordination necessary for a truly polished structure. Without this phase, too many important areas of design exploration are compressed into the Schematic Design Phase or left to construction drawings. The Design Development Phase will include detailed drawings of the building plans and will detail equipment locations, area calculations, finishes, fire code requirements, and building materials. Engineering (MEP) drawings and calculations will be provided in sufficient detail to identify systems and equipment modifications and the participation of specialty engineering items, if required by the program. D. Final Construction Documents The Contract Documents Phase will bring to completion all drawings and specifications necessary for construction. All drawings will be checked for completeness and coordination among disciplines. Final engineering calculations will be submitted, and specifications will be finalized with attention to standard materials and methods of construction. This phase will include: • Project management • Coordination with City of Sunny Isles Beach • Consultant coordination • Periodic project meetings with all parties • Review all documents for design Intent • Monitor the reviews with all applicable agencies E. Bid/Negotiation Phase During this phase, if the design/bid/build method is selected, we will generate all of the necessary bid documents based upon the City’s legal requirements as part of our Technical Specifications book. We will then assist the City in the distribution of the Contract Documents to contractors interested in bidding the project. We will issue clarification and additional information addenda to the bidders, as necessary, to ensure the most competitive bidding climate. Upon receipt of the bids, we will review the submitted documents for conformance to the bid requirements and assist the City in ranking the bidders and the ultimate award of the contract. F. Construction Administration Saltz Michelson Architects will provide staffing for the Construction Administration Phase which will include monitoring quality compliance, observing construction/ installation status, reviewing submittals, and completing other customary construction phase services as Owner’s Representatives. Monitoring and coordination will begin when the construction contract is awarded and will continue throughout the life of the project. Personnel will be assigned to the project to the degree of expertise necessary to monitor the construction progress and assist in administrative activities. Professional and administrative support office personnel will also be assigned. The total CA Phase will be directed by the Project Manager. This phase will include: • Project management • Consultant coordination
