4D [17 0 APPROACH / METHODOLOGY Existing Conditions We develop solid technical innovative designs based on a thorough understanding of the existing site conditions through the review of surveys, geotechnicol testing reports, as -built plans, existing reports, utility markups and public sentiment. Permitting An understanding of the regulatory permitting requirements and the limitations that these requirements pose on the design of the project will be clearly identified prior to engaging in the design of the project. We will identify and understand these requirements and build into the project the necessary components to avoid cost over runs and construction delays associated with regulatory permitting. Budgetary Constraints We design to meet our Client's budgetary constraints. We will assist the City of Sunny Isles Beach in establishing project budgets, tracking the project costs through all phases of the work and, if needed, value engineer the project to ensure that it is within the established project budget.

We will confirm that each task fits within the overall project and target dates and provides for contingencies within the work plans. Public Outreach We assist our Clients in developing public awareness programs that promote public buy -in to pork development projects through activities such as forums, open houses, community meetings quarterly newsletters websites and public hearings. We have a seasoned in -house staff that has directed numerous important community awareness programs.

It also allows the entire team to understand the overall scheduling strategy necessary to accomplish all the tasks in the correct sequence. In addition to the performance schedule, B &A will implement the following project management tools for the projects that arise from this contract: Project Guidelines At the start of the project, B &A will prepare Project Guidelines which will include all requirements by the review agencies, code requirements and design approvals the project must follow by City, County, State and Federal jurisdictions.
