RFQ No. 20-07-01 <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach Beach <br />August 2020 <br />D – Project Approach and Understanding <br />Our President, Mr. Luis Jurado, P.E. will be the firms Quality Control and Quality Assurance <br />Manager, responsible to personally provide reviews checks and will oversee all of the tasks <br />orders derived from this project, and will provide guidance to the project team, and ensure the best and <br />adequate staffing levels are provided to the City’s various projects that fall under PDS’s scope of work at <br />all times during our contract. <br />Mr. Eckardt will lead a team strong in talent and technical expertise, familiar with municipal work, and <br />used to work as a team, which has continuously worked together from our Headquarter offices in the <br />City of Miramar, Broward County, Florida. Our team of professionals is comfortable working with <br />government agencies, and is trained to think as an extension of the City Staff, always looking in the best <br />interests of the City. Our team of professionals working on a specific project is not just our engineers <br />and support staff, but our team includes the client, in this case it includes the City of Sunny Isles Beach’ <br />project manager and others involved in the project. The City is always informed and will participate in <br />all stages of the process, receiving guidance from our professional staff, and being able to provide <br />important input on the project, and always aware of any budgetary impacting issues. <br />This approach we are proposing for this project is not just a proposal. This same approach has been <br />utilized with successful results in the past to execute other government contracts, including contracts <br />with Miami-Dade County, City of Miami Gardens, FDOT District 4, Broward County Transit, City of Miami <br />Lakes, City of Opa-Locka, Broward County Aviation Department and the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer <br />Department. Our approach ensures that the City administration, City Engineers, PDS, contractors, <br />consultants, and other stakeholders are a fully integrated and participate in every project. <br />Another Key factor in our approach is Quality Assurance and <br />Quality Control. Early in the project we engage our highly- <br />experienced QA/QC experts, like Luis Jurado, P.E., to ensure a <br />quality result. These experts will be available as required to offer <br />advice during all stages of the project and will also oversee that <br />proper resources are assigned once a project has been identified, <br />and will review the work to make sure it meets or exceeds City <br />requirements and standards. Our Team’s technical review <br />process includes QA/QC, tracking procedures, value engineering, <br />and constructability reviews. QA/QC begins with the first day of <br />the project and continues until final acceptance of the final <br />product. <br />PDS has a defined quality control procedure described in the PDS Quality Control Manual, intended to <br />minimize the risk of errors and omissions and to maximize the quality of the final product. One of our <br />policies is to always have a qualified professional, not involved in the specific task being done, review <br />and comment before every submittal. This ensures quality and completeness of submittals. <br />41
