4.3 PROJECT APPROACH KEITH has developed a keen understanding of the many challenges that can be encountered for projects within the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Accordingly, we have assembled a team with broad capabilities and depth of experience to address any needs that may arise. These many years of collective experience mean that any of Sunny Isles Beach’s concerns with project development will be taken under consideration throughout the entire design and construction process. Thus, when planning, programming and/ or assessing new construction or renovations to existing facilities, the KEITH Team is cognizant of all requirements and the impacts they have on our design work and schedule to successfully complete any work authorizations. It is important to have the best information about existing site conditions before embarking on the design effort. We believe that one of the key elements of design is discovering all site elements and influences both above and below ground to identify opportunities, restrictions, or challenges that a site may present as early as possible. This limits disruption to construction activities and potential impacts to schedule. With our past project experience, and the trans-disciplinary nature of the KEITH team, our staff brings an unparalleled understanding of utilities and drainage conditions which may be encountered and the experience in coordinating with multiple disciplines to apply the appropriate solutions. This knowledge base will be supplemented by information gained from field surveys, reviews of as-built information and other documents that will greatly enhance the final design product and heighten the probability of a smoother construction phase. KEITH is well-versed in the management and implementation of large and small-scale projects. As one of the veteran South Florida based engineering firms, we have provided services for general continuing contracts as a prime consultant for numerous governmental agencies for decades. Our approach to every project begins with a “No Excuses” methodology. We bring a unique combination of top-quality consultants with years of in-depth experience working on similar municipal projects under the leadership of KEITH, a firm you know you can trust with your most important projects. We believe that our overall corporate ideology, coupled with our expertise and commitment to the City of Sunny Isles Beach will be the keys to the successful execution of this contract. PHASE 01: DELIVERING THE SCOPE OF SERVICES Our strategy is simply to assist the City in creating a team with the right skill sets and personalities; ensure the team has the proper tools to manage and communicate; understand existing processes and augment those processes if needed; and finally, facilitate the alignment of the project team towards the common goal of project delivery. • People. The most important element and foundation of our strategy is to ensure that the right people with the correct skill sets are assigned to support the project team. In today’s world of project delivery, it is not enough to have the correct skill set. We must consider how the team’s diverse personalities compliment and support each other to achieve team cohesiveness. • Tools. The delivery team must also have the correct tools to manage projects and to communicate progress to stakeholders. These tools typically include scheduling, document controls, and collaborative websites. Scheduling tools like MS Projects or Primavera P6 Scheduler are important tools to coordinate the execution of various projects. Familiarity with these tools also assists the project team in evaluating and managing change on projects. Establishing a web-based document controls system is a critical element to foster transparency and to ensure important documents are available to the entire team when needed.
