COLLABORATIVE DESIGN PROCESS
<br />Our experience has taught us that engaging facility users, project stakeholders, and community groups is vital to the success of the project.
<br />ADG has developed an expansive plan to involve stakeholders throughout the duration of the project, This plan starts with our interactive
<br />method of designing known as our "Participatory Planning Process;' The basis of this approach is to listen carefully tothe owner's concerns,
<br />communicate with the project manager and team, understand the facility and community needs, as well as utilize creativity to meet the
<br />city's goals and objectives..
<br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND COMMITMENT
<br />Sunny Isles Beach is an area of cultural diversity, renowned for having the 1411 tallest skyline in America, Since being incorporated in 1997,
<br />the city has seen steady population growth, especially in recent years, The current population is 22,000+ residents, and to serve this
<br />growing population, the city's facility needs have grown as well. The current police department includes 55 sworn officers,13 civilians,
<br />and 37 lifeguards, for a total of 105 users, Although the existing facility was built in 2005, the police and ocean rescue departments have
<br />outgrown the current facilities and additional space is needed for these public safety departments to continue their high-level of service to
<br />the community. We understand the city is considering a few possible options on the current municipal campus for the development of this
<br />project If our team is selected, we are committed to working with the city to find the best solution that is customized to the city's needs,
<br />BUDGET AND SCHEDULE ADHERENCE
<br />Our team is prepared to start immediately on this project and has a proven track record of successfully delivering public safety projects
<br />in Florida within the owner's budget and schedule parameters. The team's project manager, Rodney McManus, LEED AP, will monitor the
<br />impact of daily planning and design decisions on the budget, ensuring the project stays within the city's budget. Our team will meet to
<br />discussthe schedule and progress of work on a regular basis to coordinate design and production, In orderto achieve schedules, we utilize
<br />the following fundamental principles;
<br />• Scheduling is a priority, We document, review, and update our schedule at each team meeting,
<br />• Project work elements are organized into sections, which are necessary to clarify the critical path elements that maintain schedule
<br />compliance.
<br />• Realistic exceptions or alternatives are established early in the design process. We anticipate that changes will occur and provide for
<br />these eventualities as early as possible,
<br />CONCLUSION
<br />The entire team is excited about the opportunity work with the City of Sunny Isles Beach and the public safety department on this vital city
<br />project. The ADG / WA team meets all eligibility requirements for this contract, As required by this RFQ, we understand that if selected, our
<br />team is willing to meet any location, budget, or task orders. We believe the combination of our team's experience with state -of -the art law
<br />enforcement and public safety facilities, in addition to our team's local experience, makes us uniquely qualified to work with you on this
<br />Important project. Thank you for reviewing this proposal and we look forward to meeting in person to discuss this project in greater detail.
