<br /> <br />RFQ No. 20-07-01 <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach Beach <br />August 2020 <br /> <br />D – Project Approach and Understanding <br /> <br />Typically after the City has developed a sound, <br />efficient and functional design, we prepare a <br />construction document set and enter the Construction <br />Management phase if required. These is performed <br />following all the City Regulations, and a complete package is <br />prepared, including construction drawings, general and <br />technical specifications, bid documents and forms. PDS will <br />help the City throughout the bidding process, reviewing bids <br />for completion, creating bid tabulations and matrixes for easy <br />comparison, verifying reference information, making award <br />recommendations and attending pre-bid meetings. Again, <br />acting as an extension of the City’s Staff, PDS will always <br />represent the city during the contractor selection process. <br />Once a contractor is selected, PDS continues to represent the <br />City during Pre-Construction meetings, conducting periodic <br />inspections, generating reports and answering to any <br />requests for information that may arise. PDS will also <br />represent the city creating claim rebuttal documentation in the event change orders are requested, <br />reviewing and providing timely approval of shop drawings and submittals. Final closeout and permit <br />requirement close-out documentation will be collected and requested from contractor to completely <br />close-out the project. <br />PDS can also develop warranties and contact information manuals; because we believe that construction <br />quality needs to be enforced not only throughout the construction, but also throughout the warranty <br />period. If any warranty issue arises, the city will have a central location with all pertinent contact and <br />warranty information to easily get the issue resolved. PDS is capable of providing As-Built data collection <br />of contractor’s work to either verify contractor’s provided as-builts or entirely prepare as-builts for the <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach. PDS can continue to serve the City of Sunny Isles Beach through all phases of <br />the project, offering unparalleled responsiveness and excellent quality levels. <br />The firm has developed an important strength in the local market, in the Transit Improvements and Civil <br />Engineering fields, securing continuing engineering contracts with county agencies such as Miami-Dade <br />Water and Sewer, Miami-Dade Transit and Broward County Transit. These projects still have about 3 <br />years of duration with optional extensions. These projects give our firm the stability necessary for <br />measured growth and a secured establishing in the south Florida region. <br /> <br />In 2019 PDS was awarded SBE Firm of The Year by Miami-Dade County ISD and back in 2012, PDS was <br />awarded as one of the Top Minority Firms in Miami, as awarded by the Greater Miami Chamber of <br />Commerce. These awards are recognition to the firm’s commitment to its clients and shows how PDS <br />was able to rise among hundreds of firms in the area to receive these awards. PDS is also usually <br />recognized by its clients for providing very clear and complete engineering drawings, with sound <br />constructability design, and an exceptional service. <br />46
