Page 3 TAB D: PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING RFQ: 20-07-01 Continuing Professional Services - Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI) PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT METHODS & TECHNIQUES Eisman & Russo, Inc. (E&R) has a well-established and success driven Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI) force that provides project management for a wide spectrum of state and municipal projects throughout Florida including roadways, bridges, drainage and utilities. The E&R CEI team offers an experienced, local, proven team to work as an extension of the City of Sunny Isles Beach to ensure projects are completed in a timely manner meeting and exceeding the client goals. Our construction administration services are tailored to serve our clients individual needs. Our CEI services generally include, but are not limited to: • Program Management • Constructability and Biddability Reviews • Evaluation of bids • Preconstruction conference • Review of shop drawings and specialty items • Schedule Reviews • Project Weekly Progress Meetings • Provide daily inspection and supervision of field construction activities • Monitor all daily field reports • Utility Coordination • Coordination between Contractor and Owner • Timely resolution of Project Issues and Claims • Final certification and warranties at final job closeout PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Our approach to projects under continuing services contracts is based upon our team’s personal experience working on City, FDOT LAP, FHWA, ARRA funded projects in similar corridors where public involvement with residents, businesses, City and County officials is essential to ensure minimal disruption and plays a big role in successful execution of the project’s construction. Efforts to minimize impacts to the traveling public and residents regardless of project type will be made through public participation meetings and credible advance notification of construction activities. We are familiar with the City’s SIBAlert system and the various social media venues used to disseminate information to the public, including the live streamed commission meetings. Some of the upcoming projects for the City of Sunny Isles Beach are driven in response to input from residents and stakeholder sur- veys within the community that wanted to see sidewalk and crosswalk improvements. The City moved forward with Complete Streets to address both the current needs and those of the future. As part of the improvements, the City has taken initiative to improve the pedestrian access, vehicular access and overall safety by strategically designing pedestrian overpasses along Collins Avenue. We anticipate and are qualified and experienced to provide CEI services for these types of projects. Currently, Eisman & Russo is providing CEI services for a trio of similar Golf Cart Path Bridges in The Villages, Florida. Anticipated to be completed in a few months, the project includes a bridge which spans over the Florida Turnpike and includes unique aesthetic features, decorative lighting and stone veneers. Over the past 10 years, our team has performed similar continuing ser- vices contracts for other local municipalities, under which we have per- formed multiple sidewalk reconstruction projects, decorative and paved crosswalks, lighting improvements, milling and resurfacing, landscape and irrigation projects. Our team members commit to meeting with City Engineer Rick Labin- sky, PE and the designated Project Manager to establish project specif- ic goals prior to the start of construction of each project. At a minimum, we obligate our team members to the following goals:
