Approach /Methodol Proposed Approach and Methodology Continuing professional services contracts require a different approach from typical project- specific contracts. Each task assigned under an on -call contract will need an individualized approach that includes the various disciplines necessary to complete the assignment. We recognize that each project under the continuing services contract has its own expectations that need to be understood, and then exceeded. Through our experience on various other continuing services contracts, we have developed a successful strategy for approaching each task assignment. This strategy emphasizes effective project management, creating a detailed work plan, maintaining a high level of communication, and value engineering. Project Management Kimley -Horn recognizes that a strong project management approach is necessary to successfully complete any and all City of Sunny Isles Beach projects on schedule and within budget. Our standard management practices are outlined in a formal manual published by the firm entitled, Project Manager's Manual. This document clearly establishes the firm's policy, which requires the project manager to prepare a detailed work plan and management plan for each major project. This includes a plan for controlling and directing all elements of the project. Our entire approach to project management is characterized by the following philosophies and policies, which are ingrained in the Kimley -Horn culture: • We will not only control and manage the project schedule, we will anticipate problems, creatively develop solutions, and implement a set of actions before problems arise. • We will follow up on action items to ensure that planned actions are executed by a single responsible person. There will be no misunderstanding as to who was or is responsible. • Our project management plan will promote efficiency, clarify communication protocols, provide direction, avoid misunderstandings, and govern routine action. • Our project management plan will clearly identify, budget, and plan for effective quality control and independent reviews, and we will produce a result that exceeds contractual Ins expectations. • We will execute random inquiries into schedule adherence, work performance, quality performance, and resource allocations to determine compliance with planned project performance. We will identify anomalies and take instant corrective actions as needed. • Our project manager, Gary Ratay, P.E., will be in command and control of the project at all times. He will have the authority to allocate resources and correct problems. • We will view the project from your perspective, examine issues in a strategic context, and provide you with tactical solutions. Kimley -Horn has a long history of achieving successful project completion through a combination of effective project management and technical expertise. Given the realities of complex technology, challenges of creative design, impacts of environmental permitting, and the critical importance of cost management, effective project management is essential to the production of quality work and successful projects completed on schedule and within budget. To serve as an effective project manager, it is necessary to understand the project requirements and develop the best project team to maximize personnel expertise and experience. When the proper team is assembled for any given project, it is easier to anticipate major or minor problems before they occur. In short, Kimley- Horn's management approach is team - oriented, no- nonsense, results - oriented, and saturated with top quality people who routinely produce superior results. ,V�D„ -0,� ovzs 1.140 s:lyi Carwig aid ,�SeMCes.vim Kimley »)Horn
