Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) Request for Qualifications No. 20-07-01 Section D – Page | 7  Final Construction Plans – this is the final engineer’s estimate based on the final design. RJ Behar has an excellent track record with our project bids coming within 5% of our final engineer’s estimate. RJ Behar is aware of the budget and time constraints. We will take appropriate action to reallocate resources if the work items fall behind schedule in accordance with the critical path to minimize impact to the overall schedule. We will effectively manage the budget and have developed a logical quality control plan, which we will adhere to the plan throughout the project. We routinely rank 4.0 or above (1-5 ranking) on FDOT evaluations regarding budget and time. DOCUMENT CONTROL Document control is very important. All administrative procedures and legal protections require proper care of documentation. RJ Behar understands matching documentation requirements with any size project. We use a straightforward system for prioritizing, routing, and maintaining the necessary project documentation. Besides memos and meeting minutes, there are contract documents, plans, specifications, operation manuals, survey data and invoicing that will all need to be routed to their proper locations within the City system. RJ Behar has worked with numerous public agencies and municipalities since its inception and is adept at organizing project documentation using the client’s methods, procedures, and formats. We are familiar with most document formats used in engineering documentation and will easily adapt to requirements of the City. QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS RJ Behar will ensure the quality of its product. Mr. Juan Vazquez, PE will be responsible for the quality assurance. An autonomous group of reviewers will be responsible for this activity. The individuals assigned are highly experienced in the tasks they will be reviewing. Committing the appropriate staff to the project is the most important quality assurance measure. Our Quality Control process is very comprehensive and has resulted in the avoidance of claims during construction. A synopsis of our Quality Program is outlined below: QC REVIEWS: These will be separated into three major areas: 1) engineering design review (criteria) 2) plans preparation/cross reference review 3) constructability review. Providing for these will assure the City the quality it is paying for. For this review process, we have developed checklists of items that must be included on each type of project. QC PROCESS: The process starts with the 1) design originator, 2) it is sent to a checker, it goes back to the 3) originator who reviews the markups and determines which comments are to be implemented. 4) The originator and checker meet to discuss the comments and come to an agreement on the implementation of the comments. 5) If they cannot come to an agreement, the Project Manager will then make that determination. 6) Comments are implemented. 7) Plans are back- checked. All these steps require our QC Stamp, dated and initialed by the individual(s) involved. CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW: Mr. Nestor Santana, PE will lead our constructability reviews. He has been involved in construction engineering and inspection projects for over 25 years. He will be reviewing the plans from the contractor’s perspective. He will be looking for lack of consistency between plans, specs, utility agreements, and permit agreements. He will ensure that all pay items are accounted for, check for feasibility of the construction sequence and for claims potential. QUALITY ASSURANCE: Mr. Juan Vazquez, PE, RJ Behar’s vice-president, will certify that the quality control reviews were completed prior to all formal submittals. UNDERSTANDING THE CITY’S NEEDS RJ Behar has had the privilege of working with the City of Sunny Isles Beach before and would like to continue our working relationship on this Request for Qualifications for Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA). We have provided a project approach, based on RJ Behar’s management procedures and quality assurance practices, which closely match those required by the City. Based on our approach, we believe we have demonstrated our ability to successfully deliver high quality service throughout this contract.
