8 SECTION D Project Approach and Understanding RFQ # 21-11-01 PROFESSIONAL PLANNING AND ZONING CONSULTING SERVICES, CIVIL AND TRAFFIC ENGIEERING ►QA/QC PROCESS Our QA/QC processes are built into our schedules and budgets. Each project has a designated QA/QC officer who is separate from the Project Manager, and work order Technical Task Manager. Documents are reviewed on several levels, at set intervals related the specific tasks. These reviews include, but are not limited to, quality of overall document – including visual presentation, clarity of communication, technical accuracy of data and analysis, and adherence to answering the needs posed by visioning and specific project questions and goals. All Corradino’s technical work will be reviewed by professionals, other than the author of that work, so that administrative and technical errors can be eliminated. Corradino will also review the work of any deliverable produced by subconsultants to ensure that a quality product is being delivered to the City regardless of the author. All team members, including subconsultants, will be required to follow Corradino’s proven quality control plan for each item produced. This process ensures the firm keeps its projects moving on schedule and within budget, while minimizing any disruption. The following provides for our area specific approaches to planning, traffic engineering, and roadway design. ► Site Master Planning, Analysis and Design/Planning and Urban Design At the core of Corradino’s planning practice is our ability to listen, evaluate, and translate. We are experts at communicating complex engineering and planning principles in understandable terms for the best decision(s) to be made. Public engagement is key -- it begins with developing and verifying the vision and direction of the community. Concurrently, data providing scientific background to the analysis is collected and utilized to define the neighborhoods/areas potentially impacted by a project(s). In our experience, positive movement in project development, as plans are molded from concepts to vetted and embraced outcomes, begins with community dialogue. Our staff has the ability to assist the community develop a full understanding of the issues and concepts of a proposed project(s). We know that real progress is made where credibility and consensus are established. Corradino uses an interdisciplinary approach to address principles of urban design, looking at the scale, sense and flow of the place, and the connections of its pieces, people, buildings, and transportation/transit, in relation to each other to create an identity of place that blend scale, form, and human behavior into a plan which recognizes the connections inherent in development. ►Landscape Architecture and Design Our team’s landscape architecture and design approach emphasizes creativity and innovation within the context of rational problem solving. Cultural, economic, environmental, social forces, sustainability and climate change dynamics are strong determinants of design. This approach is founded on a collaborative approach which stresses interaction among the client’s representatives, fellow design professionals and our team. The best designs result from an interactive process of artistic creativity, knowledge, passion and experienced judgment. Our team’s inspiration for design expression grows from an appreciation of context, and an understanding of program. Context includes the influences of a physical setting, the history and culture of an area, and opportunities and
