APPROACH / METHODOLOGY Communication It is critical at the start of the project to establish proper protocol and follow a "Chain of Command" and point of contact for each discipline. This will assure agreement on the format for faxes, memos, phone conversations and e- mails. A Team Directory is distributed to all involved parties. Team Directory The Team Directory includes the entire design team and their role or responsibility, addresses, phone, fax and cell numbers and e -mail addresses, the review agencies contacts and any others participants that are involved in the project. Team Meetings For each project phase (design development, construction documents, permitting bidding and negotiations and construction administration) B &A will prepare a schedule for team workshops and team meetings to insure that decisions are made when needed and the momentum of the project remains constant during the entire project. Action Items / Hot List As part of the meeting minutes that are prepared, B &A prepares a "Hot List ", which is a comprehensive list of issues and action items that require resolution by established key dates. The Hot List is always reviewed at every team meeting and tracks the development and /or progress of items that are on the "Critical Path of Travel" for that particular phase. ABILITY TO MEET DESIRED TIMELINES: SCHEDULE AND COST CONTROL Maintaining the established project schedule and costs will be critical to the success of this project. B &A understands this and has been successful at developing many projects "under budget and ahead of schedule ". This track record has been accomplished through a series of in -house management procedures as described below. Quality is an important issue that must be addressed throughout the entire project. A consistent philosophy must be set which will be carried through the planning, design and construction process. B &A has a companywide Quality Control Program that will commence at the start of the project. This provides for a continuous check process and quality assurance throughout the entire development of the project. It is our firm's view that quality work is the direct result of careful, properly sequenced production, and continuous "responsible professional" checking of each work element for completion and correctness. Our Quality Control Program performs detailed checks for accuracy, errors and omissions prior to substantial completion and before each "phase" submittal for the City's review. Established checking procedures are at each "phase" of the design to assure our special effort to produce accurate documents and "red flag" elements that need further attention. This allows continuous monitoring and coordination of all aspects of a project, assures the inclusion of any City of Sunny Isles Beach staff review comments and requirements and results in the acceptance of only high quality work. 3b a....
