FAST TRACK / EXPEDITED BASIS With Miller Legg’s 57 years of municipal experience, our Team has the right ability and approach to handle the various tasks specified on a fast track or expedited basis. The Team has a strong understanding of the potential concerns that may arise during the life of projects under this Contract, and has worked with numerous communities clarifying and effectively implementing and resolving these and other similar issues in the course of our past projects. There will be no learning curve due to Miller Legg’s current and past experience. Miller Legg has recently completed numerous landscape architecture projects on an expedited basis including landscape architecture, hardscape and irrigation design for the City of Miami Beach 20th Street & Sunset Drive Pocket Park, the City of Miami Armbrister Park Community Center, and the City of Tamarac’s Commercial Boulevard landscape, hardscape and irrigation improvement project. The Miller Legg Team has tremendous depth with built in redundancy to handle multiple projects at the same time under this Contract. The Team has had many successes teamed together with public clients within South Florida.

Second, we complete a preliminary construction cost estimate at every submittal to check if our design is within the cost requirements or if value engineering alternatives can be incorporated without impacting the purpose set forth by the City. Third, changes in scope or design direction will be discussed with you to ensure that everyone understands the ramifications of that change on the construction cost budget. This attention to detail in our processes is the core of Miller Legg’s value engineering efforts. Constructability reviews and an understanding of the time needed for the construction to be completed allow us to guide the City in detailing these constraints in the contract documents.
